Welcome to Crypso, an empty world waiting to be fleshed out by a small group of writers. My intent here is to gauge interest among the community for a low fantasy game where the lore, races and cultures are created by the players. The overall premise is a medieval low fantasy world where 3-5 kingdoms manoeuvre for dominance. The political structure, races, and culture of these kingdoms are determined by the respective player.

[b]Featuring[/B]
~ Weekly updates
~ Light stat system that ensures no two players are exactly the same.
~ Player free to establish lore, races, cultures, and terrain within their borders
~ Ruler trait that caters to your play style, whether it be through war, plots, diplomacy or economy
~ A World crafted by the input of the players.

[b]Sign ups[/b]
If you are interested, feel free to fill out a sign up sheet here, which can then be copied and pasted to the game thread once it is ready.

[b]Nation Sheet[/b]

[hider=Nation Sheet]
[b]Nation:[/b] (include the colour of the nation from the political map above, as well as the name.)

[b]Government:[/b] (such as a republic, absolute monarchy, feudal monarchy, or something of your own creation.)

[b]Ruler:[/b]
 
[b]Trait:[/b]

[b]Prominent Terrain:[/b] (terrain will effect your stats, mountainous kingdoms will have high income, but low population. Forest kingdoms will have a good balance while grasslands or river valleys will have high population but low income. Desert or badlands will suffer income and population and be a true challenge. Your desired terrain not mentioned? State it in your sign up and I'll work out the effect.)

[b]Secondary Terrain:[/b] (Offering some variety in your demesne and a slight bonus to your stats.)

[b]Prominent Race: [/b] (You may include a perk to either combat, economy or diplomacy along with a penalty. You may also stay neutral and receive neither a perk or penalty. ie a race of seafaring humans may excel at trade, but neglect their armed forces.) 

[b]Supply:[/b] (The max population your kingdom is able to support. This figure will be filled out by me.) 

[b]Levy:[/b] (2% of your supply - to be filled out by me.)

[b]Income:[/b]

[b]Expenses[/b]

[b]Treasury[/b] (the balance of your income-expenses is stored here, to be used for hiring mercenaries, building projects and sustaining armies in the field.)

[b]Bios:[/b] (Biographies of your respective nation and important characters.)

I shall explain more as I gather interest. Feel free to ask questions.
