When Smoke Filled the Skies (A Diseal/Steampunk styled Nation Roleplay)

[Kilo6]

Alright! Well after a very long absence due to a shit load of school work among other things, I have returned! I'm itching to do a good NRP as it has been a long time since I've done one. As the title of the threat suggests, the generally level of technology will be a 1940s like era with a twist. Airships, mobile fortresses, railroad tanks, and whatever you can imagine to go along with the theme! Of course it won't go overboard with the fantasy tech and each will have some relatively realistic restrictions to keep stuff well balanced and fun. I mainly like to focus on building a story in an NRP, so I would prefer if the goal was not necessarily to win, as it is to create an engaging, fun story for all. You can delve into the world of politics, fight world wars, or dominate the global economy! I'm currently creating a detailed nation sheet to provide the outline for your nation.

Now then, I'm still on the fence on a few things, so I leave it up to those who are interested:

Races other than humans, yes or no?

Go as far as flying cities and such?

What should the population limit be? I'm thinking around 150,000,000 or larger, but open to suggestions.

Hopefully enough people will show interest! If enough do, I'll get the map I have in mind up along with the OOC, of course!

[urukhai]

Awesome count me in,

[Kilo6]

Glad to have you! Hopefully we can get enough people interested to start this.

[Mr X]

This sounds interesting.

[Zaresto]

I really want to see more, but I'm interested. (Although, I don't think there should be races other than human, but that would depend on how you can implement it i.e: no anthros)

[Kilo6]

Of course! Once I see that enough people are interested in the idea, I'll flush things out more, provide a map, detail descriptions of regions, a good nation sheet base, ect. Once one or two more people shows interest, I'll start up the OOC.

Races other than humans.. No.

Go as far as flying cities and such?. No.

I'll join :3 Hello Kilo6 again.

[Zaresto]

Just to get this straight, the technology of this setting will be comparable to that of, say, Crimson Skies, correct?

[Invictus]

Interested, Always love a good steampunk.

Along a similar theme, yes. I'm allowing some more creative freedom in it though, so airships might look a little more flying battleship than zeppelin, but it's however your nation's style is in the end. If you want your airships to resemble zeppelins more, than go right ahead and vise versa.

Also, with Rare showing interest, I'm going to get an OOC up and running tomorrow (on EST). In the mean time, since you guys where the first ones in, I present to you a map in which to carve a nation out of(You guys get first pick ;) )! Remember to be reasonable with the size:


The lore will go along the lines of that desert to the north is seemingly infinite cold, dry stretch of sand and snow.

[Zaresto]

I hope this is fair:

Could you please use GIMP or MSpaint to visually mark it?

@urukhai
That seems fine!

@Zaresto
A little on the big side, but I don't think it's unreasonable

OOC will be up tonight(EST) with an updated map! I'll be posting the link here in the interesting check.

AND HOLY CRAP. I totally missed that there was an actual NRP tab! XD Oh how I feel so stupid! Anyway.... It will be posted there.

[Rare]

@Urukhai

I trimmed your nation down a bit once I noticed how big it was. Hope the edits are okay with you (I can change them to something more favorable if need be.)
