<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I'll clear up one bit by saying I really don't have a fear of them in an Rp at all. It's just that from what I've seen, they have been featured just about every time in them. I am honestly not one of those folks who needs all the noble houses, chivalry, fancy castles, etc associated with medieval times.

If anything, I am aiming towards the less popular, earlier medieval era, as compared to the "high" period.

My main point with preferring the 11th century, though, isn't about guns. It's more how fluid nations were in those times and the fact that the period is rarely represented (from what I see around here).

Edit: I see how you assumed I was simply going after gunpowder. That wasn't my intention and I phrased that wrong; I meant the periods of history when gunpowder was introduced, where it seems most medieval RP's are based.
[/quote]Again, 11th century only appeals to people who have researched that era and have interest in it.
When people talk about medieval they think of the classic knights in shining armor kind of setting. And yes, I assumed your main counterargument was about guns. So I just corrected myself.

While making a 11th century historical or pseudo-historical RP could be fun I feel that a "classic medieval" era along with fantasy elements could garner far more attention. I already have an alliance of dwarven city states kind of idea in the works.
Of course in the end things would depend on what the GM decides.
