Why does it make more sense to do it in the Middle Ages instead of the Age of Exploration? Just because of what most High Fantasy Literature dictates? It's an idea I've had for a long time that essentially sprung from "What if Columbus encountered dragons in the New World?"

Well, I'll answer you question! Since dragons burn people (which kills them), he would be burnt to death and nobody would report about the New World, leaving that the myth of the flat planet to be turth.

I'm not sure I understand your logic. Why are fantasy elements restricted to the Early Middle Ages?

Well, because the people (who make fantasy elements) set it to the Early Middle Ages. Don't blame me, but blame the makers of the fantasy element, for having it set at the Early Middle Ages.

"none would know!"

Pepperm1nts said
To be fair, fantasy doesn't make sense anywhere. That's why it's fantasy.But I agree that I'd prefer an RP like this to be more historical and realistic, than fantasy.

^^^ I'm starting to like you.

Honestly, this only helps Aegon's idea. Part of the lore could be that dragons turned out to be the reason why ships would go missing when they sailed to the Americas.

Urban Fantasy is generally not Middle Ages, so there's one example. There are others too! A quick google search immediately brings this quote from goodreads "The The Lies of Locke Lamora is set in Venice-like city of the Renaissance age, with burgeoning maritime commerce, organized crime, city-state rivalry, Gentlemen and Ladies who enjoy fine art, rapier sparring, court etiquette and court intrigue."

But if you don't want to do it, Rare, that's fine bro.

Which I'm sure some people might believe. Hell, if the Castille player wants to have Columbus roasted he can! But it was just the initial idea, Rare

A part of my job as GM will be posting small updates about what happens in important NPC nations (i.e. if no one plays Castille, then I will post about Columbus's discovery of the New World)

Fine. I call Korea

Yeah I know, it's generally not Middle Ages, but most use that setting. I mean there is modern ones, and.... Nope, just modern day ones and that's all.

Well.. that's because future ones tend to fall under Sci-Fi :P

I call England

[AegonVI]

So are you interested now that I fixed that one thing Pepperm1nts?

[Pepperm1nts]

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'm not as much a fan of fantasy NRP's as I am a fan of historical ones.

Actually the ancient Greeks already knew that the earth was spherical. No one actually wanted to fund Christopher Columbus because everyone knew that he underestimated the circumference of the earth. They were not afraid to fall off the earth, but that they would be stranded in the middle of the ocean. CC was lucky that there was a gigantic land mass between Europe and East Asia.

Honestly, guys I don't get the whole big deal about it being fantasy. I think it's a great idea. If there were fantasy creatures in the Middle Ages, we can assume that they too eventually progressed to an era equal to that of the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. Plus, you cannot argue about realism on a website that is completely based around being something that's not real. Personally I'm interested in 1. IRELAND, 2. Scotland, and 3. Denmark. Would it be possible to slightly change them to beings of their mythology?

P.S. Columbus didn't discover that the Earth was round, Rare. He simply found the Caribbean, which he thought were near India. Hence it is called the West Indies. It was actually Magellan who discovered that the Earth was round, after sailing from Europe to India.

[AegonVI]

@Ulster, which part of Ireland? A part of it is owned by England, for example. (You might be better off taking Scotland) And what do you mean about the mythology thing?

[ulsterwarrior]

I figured as much for Ireland. I like it that way, so there is already a animosity betweenn the two. Since it is an alternate reality of sorts, I want to fight the English for Irish independence. As for the mythology, for example in Irish mythology, there were once a race of magical people called the Tuatha De Dannan, these eventually became the pagan Gods of Ireland. I was wondering if I could play as them, without being OP.
