Just an initial feeler I’m putting out, but which of these RPs would people be most interested in? I’ve worked more on the first one but wanted to see where the interest was before I continued or developed something else.

1.



2. The Boshin War
This RP would be set at the onset of the Boshin war – a civil war in Japan which ran from 1868 to 1869, between the ruling Tokugawa Shogunate and those seeking to return political power to the imperial court.

The war found its origins in dissatisfaction among many nobles and young samurai with the shogunate's handling of foreigners following the opening of Japan during the prior decade (end of Sakoku). An alliance of western samurai and court officials secured control of the imperial court and influenced the young Emperor Meiji. Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the sitting shogun, realizing the futility of his situation, abdicated political power to the emperor. Yoshinobu had hoped that by doing this, the Tokugawa house could be preserved and participate in the future government. However, military movements by imperial forces, partisan violence in Edo, and an imperial decree promoted by two strong western clans abolishing the house of Tokugawa led Yoshinobu to launch a military campaign to seize the emperor's court at Kyoto.

It would pit the more modernised Imperial forces against the more traditional samurai of the shogunate, and again would be completely open ended as the previous RP.

3. Early Roman Republic
Maybe something set at the early republic stage of Roman history – so more about the Punic wars with Carthage to begin with and the conquest of Gaul and south Iberia, followed by Greece and so on.

4. An assassin’s creed esq Roman era RP! (Nothing to do with any of the above – assassin’s creed is just awesome and I reckon I could throw together a good Roman one.
5. Something else altogether – feel free to suggest.
