Who wants to join an experimental nation rp where we deal with modern nation meets fantasy nations Edit Topic

[Wildman13]

Just a experiment about how a modern civilization will react to a new world full of magic and new resources, would it end with another war between themselves and the inhabitants of the new world or would it create a everlasting peace? That is for you to decide as the leaders of the leading nations of the world and the fantasy one.

Is there any way I could reserve the UK?

Soo... Shadowrun?

I really love thread titles that are entire poorly constructed sentences. Could you elaborate on the "Edit Topic" part of your idea? That sounds especially interesting.

[Hostile]

A GATE-type RP? I guess I'll give it a go. I'll play Russia, probably.

[SpookySquid]

Interesting, always kind of wanted to do something like this. So were you thinking of magic being introduced to the modern world or a different version of the modern world with magic. Also, does magic include magical races? Are you planning on have the RPers decide the answer to these questions?

Ever since the disappointment that was GATE, I've looked for something like this. So count me in.

[Hostile]

@Skepic GATE was awesome at first, then it slowly became blatantly racist.

Yeah..... The Manga is even more nationalistic and ridiculous.

Make GATE Great Again!

But seriously though, this could be interesting but I'd really like it if we don't have IRL nations to chose from since lets face it, only a very, very select few nations are relevant.

@Wernher

Hmm... Good point. Maybe instead of full nations, its just military units that are part of a UN task force or something? Ya know, like what GATE should have been? xD

[Wernher]

Alternatively a mix up of organizations and military branches, maybe even civilian entities from one country, all of them with different objectives.

What, nobody popping in to claim one or more of the fantastical nations of the New World of this barely-fleshed-upon idea? For shame, my good sirs(and/or madams)! I for one would not mind making and playing a probably-villain possibly-neutral unlikely-heroic Fantasy World faction if everyone else is a'ight with the idea:The Kingdom of Dentora, a ancient nation built upon the backs of the endless ranks of the dead. Lying in the heavy wastelands and ruined cities of the heartlands of a once great empire, entrenched within a terrain that seems to actively blight foreign conquerors and provides little in the ways of spoils useful to the native living-namely, food and farmable land necessary for a protracted occupation. Probably universally despised for naturally being who and what they are by the nations of their native world...But, lets be frank with ourselves. The governments of our mundane world tend to be just a little less scrupulous about such matters, especially when a nice profit can be bartered.
May, maaaay or may not have heavy vibes of Ermor, Ashen Empire of the Dominions series and other such undead empires. Because Necromancy is cool.

I can get that, but as Wildman did say, "That is for you to decide as the leaders of the leading nations of the world and the fantasy one.", which the second part...I would assume indicates we'll be able to play the fantasynationplaces.

I do definitely agree with the nations themselves being relevant-while NGOs such as Megacorps from "our" world and major Guilds from the "Fantasy" world would most certainly play a part, you can bet any governing body worth its salt would have definite interest in the possible exploitation and diplomatic ties of a entirely new resour-er, "potential ally". Yes.

[Dannyrulx]

Just sayingg, the OP hasn't been back since he posted this.

[Hiro Dark]

Aye, sadly. Nothing stopping one of us from taking the idea and running with it though if he doesn't in fact come back, I should think.

[SpookySquid]

I refrained from suggesting ideas for the new world, as I wasn't sure what Wildman13 had in mind for it.

As for the relevance of real world nations, I'd say any nation with properly motivated and equipped subfactions can do a lot. How much they can do depends on the relationship between the worlds. Do portals open? If so, where and how long? What are the geometries and limits of these portals?

Alternatives include displacement and blending. Displacement switches regions between worlds, while blending physically merges them into a hyperspace. The former would be a brief event for a volume like a city or biome, and the latter would be a sustained effect of similar size.

How the story plays out depends on how the worlds interact.

@catchamber

Well said. Plus, if this merge happened, would it be as we started the TP of years before?

Another question that comes to mind is how closely we want the "real world" nations and organizations to resemble our own. Maybe they're a bit in the future, and there have been some political changes. Just a suggestion.
