Looking for who would be interested in a fantasy NRP scaled around the Colonial Era/Edo Period. Note that is the general cultural advancement, and things like gunpowder weapons have not caught up to this level. There will be more information on the setting as more people show their interest.

The biggest thing here is the World, and where we as the players influence it through the nations we control and live within. In the beginning, there will only be a few Realms available, each varied to appeal to different people, and able to hold multiple nations to a degree without too much overlap. These Realms will be where our story takes place, and much of it will be very open to player development in regards to how their home nation's lands are arrayed. As this is a fantasy universe, there will be elements of magic and myth, with many creatures roaming about the landscape that will be causing just as much havoc as the opposing nations.

Tech level is to be universally around the medieval/renaissance eras, with some leeway allowed for certain factions if their tech is seen as not too disruptive, or RGMs/GMs allow it. Moving away from WAts will be the concept of Elder Races, in that while there will be a difference between an Elder Race and a standard nation, this line will not be so clear as the differences between Precursor Nations and standard nations from WAts. As a general rule, Elder Races will be more proficient and learned in the ways of magic, and some may have access to magical artifacts that standard nations would not have, but by and large, if a standard nation was to war with an Elder Race, the Elder Race does not have a clear and obvious advantage as they would in WAtS.

Moving away from the way other NRPs set up control of regions will also be the Influence System, a system that I'm developing that will determine what kind of influence an individual nation/character has over a Realm, and just how much. Certain types of influence lead to certain types of control, allowing for a nation to have control over an area through means other than military, something that wouldn't happen otherwise.

Also, just as a footnote here, don't be discouraged if someone has "claimed" a race of beings in the RP, as there is the possibility of other nations being accepted comprised of that species. This is being done to allow greater flexibility in terms of cultivating ideas for nations, and in a fantasy setting is somewhat necessary due to the limited number of generic species.

I haven't done much when it comes to NRPs, for one reason or another, but I'm liking the concept of your influence system, so I'll keep an eye open on this, see what happens. In regards to brainstorming, I think knowing more about how magic works and to what extent it can be used would be quite useful, so if you could tell me more, that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Beep boop I am interested.

Probably try getting in on this with a hybrid faction comprising my idea for joining this last time around and another fantasy thing I've been revisiting a bit lately. Overall flavour is "kind of a shithole human territory ruled through population demographics by a bunch of subterranean lizardfolk".

Glorious, good to have your interest. Magic for the most part is open-ended, but capped at what we're going to call the "Tactical Level", in that while there are such things as great feats of magic, when you get to the tactical-level you are influencing the flow of battle by one spell alone. Spells at this point and beyond require more than one caster and typically involve dire consequences even if it does play off. For instance, the Daeviier(Dwarven type species) of the setting completely annihilated the elves from the continent thousands of years ago with a spell that made the entire species magically inert, killed thirty of their best and brightest, and accidentally ascended the caster. For a long period afterwards, the caster was stuck on a metaphysical plane wondering what the fuck happened, while his people just kind of apathied at their purposeful genocide and sat behind their wall.

Glorious! More shithole nations the better!

The Dwarves are a direct continuation of our previous attempts with this RP, and are generally what you may expect of Dwarven civilizations, except different in some cases. In their society science is highly revered, as is the ancient traditions, and metallurgy is considered a required art for all citizens. I've got some more on them, but I think I'll wait until we have an OOC and an NS thread.

Welcome aboard. WAtS is an RP that several of the people involved with the creation of this RP were in prior to the idea forming.
