Since those interested in the general interest check have gone quiet, I thought I'd promote this here since well it's where I put the roleplay in the first place.
OOC Thread
So, I was sitting down thinking back to a few of the threads from before the guild had its downtime in December and being pretty inspired but intimidated by the role-plays inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire that seemed to be high in quantity at the time. I had only read so much of the series and seen only two seasons of the series at the time and felt pretty intimidated to even try my hand at it. “I can’t do this canon setting justice at all” I thought so I recalled something ages ago from the depths of my role-playing experiences from around 2003.
That’s where I recalled a light fantasy called Fatal Souls which I had some lore built up on an old hard drive, so I dug that out and got to work rebuilding it. It didn’t come to me until hours and hours later that it would’ve probably been exceptionally easier if I just went to a Game of Thrones wiki and absorbed information rather than worldbuilding from scratch. But what was done was done.
With my previous role-play’s struggling to stay active I decided to try this—a ‘workshop’ sandbox that relied on the other users to help build the role-play’s “filler” from the ground up with tons of liberties to be available to be taken.
As a sandbox roleplay, I don’t want to demand people to be kings or queens, but tell a point of view they want to tell that fits. This can mean stories of a sailing hiresword, a corrupt prince, a flamboyant merchant, or an exiled knight for rough examples. I mean it’d be wonderful if we all had this socio-political role-play between the houses of the mainland (Orlandis), but I don’t want to force that. As GM my role outside of telling my own stories, will be helping guide the setting with events from non-playable actions as I doubt we need to have a writer for each individual country. I love multiple perspectives and throwing something out there.
What you write may affect others and what I write likely will as well. This isn’t an authoritarian show, everybody can create a possible outcome that affects things around them. If a former crowned prince is suddenly off in the Atularis Ocean hunting down slavers then there is a likelihood that somebody will hear about it and somebody important will hear about it and so on. Of course player-on-player interaction is encouraged as it is a cooperative effort, though.
For those that could like this idea; whether it's Game of Thrones RP alumni or others, all of the information is in the link below (and above!):
