RPGuild's Spam Hunger Games: Summer Slaughter edition

I'd like to nominate myself and everyone's good old friend, the shifty-looking kebab seller.

Firearms Thread

Fun fact: Almost all of the AK-47's you see in Hollywood aren't Russian; they're Egyptian or Chinese. Russia does have a massive fucking stock pile of their best gun-waifus tho, world's largest I think.

The Tale of Earls and Kings

Amilar vi Numanori of Lothric

Baron Amilar vi Numanori IV

---

---

Age

26

Skills

• Master Bureaucrat - Extremely organized and capable, Amilar can easily keep tabs on the bureaucracy of his lands and its resources, exploiting them for maximum gains like no one else. His calculations in regards to economics is consistently spot on with a trusted council of advisors to assist him whenever he needs help making a decision on things like trade tariffs, tax laws, etc. or when he needs help dealing with the aftermath of something like disasters or flawed judgement on his part.
• Master Planner - Through careful planning and endless charts and graphs (and given enough time), Amilar can accurately plan and supply just about any project from constructing buildings to supplying armies. That said, he tends not to actually lead armies, his tactical acumen is not as good as his logistical acumen.

Personality

Amilar is a efficient on a scale which few men can match. Not the strongest or smartest, he is definitely cunning, shrewd, organized and creative. His ability to organize his state is legendary as he sees order as the basis of civilization. This in turn means that he is not above turning to some more questionable activities to protect or gain wealth for him or his state. He's prideful to a sin about the wealth of Lothric and for good reason, it claims a great deal of mineral wealth as its own as some of the best smiths make their home in his lands due to the availability of quality metals. While some call his greed limitless, Amilar actually controls himself pretty well in that regard. Although he's not above flaunting it when he feels its okay.

That said, Amilar isn't an especially aggressive man, his own army more focused on the defense and policing of his own lands rather than offensive ability; the few offensive Irondrakes in his army are mostly used as guards for royals and officials and even then having a notable defensive taste.

Governance

Bureaucracy - Instead of opting for a direct rule, Lothric uses several guilds, ministries and houses. While some argue that this method may be inefficient, its much easier for both Amilar and his lands as it reduces the workload and stress on each individual in the government. It also allows the state to earn more money through taxes, trade duties, etc which is one of the contributing factors behind Lothric's wealth. Think of this only instead of agricultural goods that produce wealth, its minerals and ores.

Misc.

The mines of Lothric stretch on for miles in tunnels and caverns and there is a growing community of people who are living underground. Its also popular with criminals and smugglers as its hard to cover all of the ground down there was well very limiting in terms of space making it perfect for small scale smuggling operations and small hideouts. Rumors have it that something horrid lurks in the deepest shafts no longer occupied by miners or criminals alike but nothing firm has come out of them, in fact, nothing ever comes out of the deepest tunnels if they go in...

I've been pretending to be healthy recently and started this whole "exercising" thing with "sit ups" and "push ups". Am I doing this right?

Age of Iron

@Thrashyseems fair.

Out of curiosity, if I do end up doing vikings, could I have a bunch if vikings who literally only live on the water on giant boats of many boats? Just an idea that suddenly popped into my head.

How many Viking players you looking for tho?

@BuddhaThe heresy is real then D<

Age of Iron

Tentative interest, not 100% sure on commitment tho.

Would something like a beastmen horde be acceptable? Total War Warhammer has filled my blood with the call of the wild as of late

Also:

@Thrashy I don't typically do nation RP (it's quite scary) I am willing to give this a go, because I'm a pagan. Yes, that's the sole reason. Hail Óðinn bróðir.

What is too much lore?

Reminds me of the person who had a 60+ page google doc for lore on an RP. Also remember everyone calling it a "nice story" since it looked like there would be a hell of a lot of limitations and stuff that could happen within said 60 pages of lore.

In my opinion, RP lores should be simple if their original. Give people outlines and maybe a few examples like:

In this RP, tech will be around the mideveal era although there will be various elements of magitech although said magitech is more uncommon understandably. Examples:

- Enchanted plate armor
- Magic-powered Golem
- Special lenses that focus the sun's beam into a weapon
- etc etc etc

(Personally I find it rather annoying when an RP says "we have tech at level X but with a twist!" and doesn't go into any detail leaving everyone wondering what the actual tech level and limitations are/)

In another sense, it could just be that RPs aren't the best way to introduce copious amounts of lore, at least not at once. Lets take Harry Potter and Warhammer 40k for some examples. HP has a lot of lore and world building in it, but its split across seven books and never just thrown out at you. 40k has an even larger lore and reading the wiki would be a pain in the ass, but I mostly learned mine through youtube lore videos which broke it up into easy to understand chunks.

tl;dr - Make a solid but simple lore base in your IC/OOC then build on it as the RP grows.
