Alright, guys, let's organize for a proper RP. But as opposed to the usual mold, it'll be a relatively hands-off affair, where everyone contributes to the world, and ideally everyone is invested in it. We'll do it in the following three steps:

[h3][b]Step one[/b][/h3]
In this RP we'll do the worldbuilding. I'll set a theme for the world- I 
don't know which yet, one suggested and approved by you guys- and 
we'll work in the confines of it to weave a coherent world. I'm going 
to limit this in two main ways: Firstly, the world will not be a 
sprawling setting, but instead much smaller in scope so that the 
things we make are forced to interact. Secondly, all player countries, 
city-states, and so on will have to fit in with one another, in the 
same general theme (i.e. no Mayans next to the Egyptians).

I will make another RP, this time in the advanced section, and we'll 
play out a senario I've decided on depending on the world (with player 
input and approval of course) with single characters like in any normal 
RP. I'm probably going to forbid people form playing as their own faction, 
so that they get familiar with other people's stuff and to force them 
out of their comfort zones. [/center]

We RP![/right]

Discussion time: What theme will we have for the world? Here are a couple of my ideas:

[center][b][h3]A: A Goth's Nightmare[/h3][/b][/center]
In a world lit by a sun in a tower at it's center, which glows and dims but is never quite bright, three supernatural threats exist which plague humanity: Vampires, which subvert human civilization from within; Werewolves, whose feral packs roam the wilds devastating all in their wake to satisfy their primal urges; and the Undead, the corpse-walkers, all dead humans not cremated rising again after a day and a night to scour the world of the living. This setting would have a focus on city-states.

[center][b][h3]B: The Hundred and One Year's War[/h3][/b][/center]
A setting which plagiarises history to the point of theft, it would center around a kingdom, Not-France, wracked by civil war and chaos as its island neighbor- Not-England- descends upon it like a vulture. Basically, gritty non-fantasy. This setting would have a focus on dynasties.


[center][b][h3]C: The Two Worlds[/h3][/b][/center]
This would be both a high and low fantasy setting, simultaneously. It would be split into two continents: The Old World, where magic cackles in the air and fantastic beasts roam among the ruins of ancient civilizations, and the New, a magic-less and monster-less place akin to real-life Europe. Brave adventurers from the New World would set out in expeditions to recover wonderful artifacts from the Old World, or die trying (mostly the latter).

[center][b][h3]D: War; War never changes[/h3][/b][/center]
Set in the far future, it'd surround a never ending war between two space empires, which has lasted for centuries and continues to rage without an end in sight. Technology has advanced to the point where the manpower pool can be replenished as needed, where whenever a warship is lost two more are built to take its place, where worlds are colonized, irradiated, terraformed and re-colonized. The two powers would circle around one another, blowing each other to bits and taking each others' planets, the loss of which never really affects anything since they're both so spread out, and they can make space cities anyway. We'd flesh out the two nations, and the factions within them (given the state of eternal total war, even the most banal trading corporation would posses a war fleet to scour the stars).

Feel free to voice opinions and suggest your own.

Interested? Want to join? Post here saying as much, and accompany it (in a hider) with a sample of one of your previous RP posts, so that I can gauge if you're up to it. I'm not expecting full-time novelists (God knows I can't write myself!), just a minimum of coherence. Alternatively, if you can't find previous posts, not sure which to pick, or are new to the guild, send me a PM and we'll talk about it; I'm willing to be flexible with this.

If you're not sure whether you want to join, or have questions, feel free to ask away.
