New Idea: Ancient-Future

[Balthazar007]

I'm working on the RP as we speak. It's already designed, and looking halfway decent. I just need to write some initial content.

I switched shifts with a co-worker tomorrow, so I will be working early in the morning instead of at night. I had planned on finishing most of the content before my shift, but now I will have to finish it afterwards. Due to this, the new expected release time is late tomorrow night.

Just an FYI, I will be at a friends house for the long weekend. I am bringing my computer though so if the Roleplay comes up I should be able to start working on my character.

Just a random thought: We will be allowed to master our own RP sessions in this RP? It looks like it's big enough to allow for smaller games to take place in it. If we are, I might get my old group to roll some one shots or shorter story archs in there.

@KRIEEEG

ABSOLUTELY: This RP will be more like an anthology of stories that all take place on the same planet and at regulated times. As long as you don't god mod another player's character and ask permission before you do anything that would have a global impact, you can do anything you like. Just like the quote in my signature, "Life is but one story told through a seemingly infinite number of perspectives." This RP will embody that idea to the fullest.

[KRIEEEG]

This sounds like a really damn awesome idea. Fuck, I'm hyped already.

[Balthazar007]

Okay everyone, I have been writing my ass off and have come to a point that I am willing to share what I have done so far. So without further ado, I present to you all the unfinished but nearly there product:

http://fifth-earth.freeforums.net/

And I would like to thank @Celaira for your wonderful suggestions on host providers, but I ended up sticking with what I know.

If anyone encounters a bug of any kind, please bring it to my attention. Minor aesthetic changes are bound to occur over the course of the next few months; please be patient with me in that regard.

I hope you all enjoy what is in store!!

I'm in. I absolutely love the color scheme of the site, of all things. Good choice, seems like a solid place. Awaiting instructions.

Awe! Thanks. I'm still adding content. At this point, anyone can make a character sheet if you like. I'd wait till more content is ready before anyone starts actually posting in character though.

Alright guys and gals. I've got an opportunity for anyone that is ready to get their creative wheels turning. I'm going to write the descriptions for each continent. In each description, I will very briefly touch on the regions within each continent. Using my brief description as a writing prompt, I would like to see what you can come up with to describe the regions within them. There are five regions per continent. So there are twenty regions for you to choose from.

Anyone interested? If so, call dibs on your region of choice right here in this thread. Also post your finished product here for my approval. I'm all about creative freedoms. So feel free to dive into further historical details, current day conflicts, and create a unique environment. I reserve the write to act as an editor to slim down anything as I see fit, but I won't be hacking and slashing unless you submit a novel. I'm looking for four to six solid paragraph descriptions.

If I haven't made the description for the continent that contains your region of choice yet, you may want to hold back on writing too much. But you can go ahead and call dibs now. I only want one person writing on one region at a time. If you completely finish one region, then you may claim and start on another one.

Let me know here in this thread if you have any questions. I appreciate everyone's help on this, 20 descriptions would be a headache to do all by myself. Plus, you may have fun writing up your first story for this RP. I may even reward helpers with some sort of in game prize.

Also, this site it a non-profit for fun project. Therefore, I have no legal issues with finding pictures off the internet to add flavor. BUT if any of you are artists or have some amazing pictures on your camera that you would like to share, you can submit them. Again, this is purely for fun, no money involved. This is purely voluntary. I can try to reward artists with in game boosts of some kind but that's about it.

[Balthazar007]

Actually, there is no reason to wait on me to finish the descriptions for each continent. You can get a good idea for what the continents are like by reading through the backstory posts: fifth-earth.freeforums.net/board/3/plo..

"Backstory: Part 3" is particularly informative when trying to picture what life on each continent is currently like.

You can also find a one sentence description of each region. So basically, all you have to do is expand on that sentence and add your own twist, plus add some region specific history. This is everyone's chance to directly effect the lore of this RP. I hope some of you take advantage of the opportunity.

I'm having fun creating this concept. I can't wait till it's totally ready!

I am intrested in this, but I am involved in a couple of things right now, so I don't really have the time to put into it. If my schedule frees up I'll swing back and give it a shot.

@rechonq

That's cool man. I hope you stick with me on "Strange World" though. You can always join this after it's rolling.

[rechonq]

Of course, I was going to wait for one more person to post before I did, but I feel like everyone is just waiting for me and Airalin, so I may just post again soon.

[Cello]

I have a concept for a character that would probably fit very well into Sentia, so I'd like to try my hand at writing up a description of that.

[KRIEEEG]

Going to read the lore today, might come up with a location tomorrow.

@Balthazar007

I'm creating an adventurer type of character, so I think Passitare from Hybridia might make sense for him.

Therefore, I am calling dibs on Passitare.

[Balthazar007]

Awesome possum! You got it!

@Leslie Hall

I've just posted a detailed description for the continent of Tekhnologia. Most of the information is just a Tekhnologia focused elaboration on the what was mentioned in "Backstory: Part 3", but there is some new information added in regards to climate and weather. You should have all the tools you need to create a great story for "Sentia".

@KRIEEEG A description for Hybridia is next on my hit list. I should have it up very shortly.

[Cello]

Well would you look at that, the image you used for Tekhnologia is the same one I was going to use for my description of Sentia. We have superb taste.
