Nerendler, I personally think that what makes an RP go is to let the creative juices flow. (Dat rhymed.) Usually, I wouldn't put too much strain and effort on restrictions, history, magic and technology, races, nations, etc, because that limits a player to what YOU only have created. The players appreciate it better if you just let them fly. An example is my currently thriving RP down in my banner.
