Making the jump from Casual to Advanced

to us, what we look for in prospective players (for our advanced RP) is primarily commitment and ability to plan. Sure, a certain level of grammar and lingual structure is nice, but its more important to consider what they achieve with their posts. Someone could (at least in theory) write a ten-page post with flawless grammar, yet achieve next to nothing for the story. Similarly, a lingually "weaker" player could achieve a lot with just a paragraph or three.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

It'll be interesting to see what sort of sheets you produce, @chayden13.

When you do submit them, they will most likely be reviewed one at a time, so if you finish one before the other, it might be wise to submit it first.

Now to get Sish back into the cage... Who let him out in the first place?

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

Gleðileg jól.

Am I the only one who thinks this way on RP's lifespans?

many try to GM before they're ready to do it. Others end up having RL come and bite them. Its a fact of life. Some RPs simply aren't ready, or get the wrong players, or are released on the second full moon in a single month, which everyone knows means that it cannot survive. Or just things happen.

We personally hold to that its better to wait with release than to rush it. Our own RP is currently about a month after OoC release and not yet on IC stage. but then, its a big one and many of the players are still crafting sheets.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@chayden13

That's an interesting view on mages. Far more enlightened (from a mage's perspective) than that held by a lot of people elsewhere in Formaroth. What do these clans think of how villagers and religious folks elsewhere treat mages?

Have some of their druids in the past been burned at the stake by such people? If so, how did they react?

How do they get along with the Circle (the mage school, effectively)?

A download starts when clicking a link

@WiseDragonGirl though it can be a pain, completely uninstalling and reinstalling the relevant browsers could perhaps help?

Pretty sure this sounds like an issue with the specific device. Something that the various antivirus/malware thingies you ran did not uncover, @WiseDragonGirl.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

since some of the best stuff seems to be from cawanor, the equivalent of spanish steel could perhaps be Cawanori Steel?

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

interesting concept, @chayden13.

We do have a few questions for sheet that you could think on, either clarifying or changing as fits for you... Just some thoughts, as this is Duncan's RP, not one of ours.

For the exports on the family...

<sub>Main Export of Goods: The Legon Forest’s main natural resource is timber, as Legon is the single largest forest in all of Formaroth. The entire clandom is completely covered in forest. However, this timber is largely untouched, as the clan’s religion considers the forest holy and that trees should only felled out of utmost necessity and never in wanton excess.

The Clandom also has extremely large ore deposits, possibly the largest in the world, due to it being situated between three major mountain ranges. However, the industry level of the Legon clans is relatively low and so much of these stores have not been tapped, especially not on the level of its neighbors, such as Cawanor.

What the clans are truly known for is their craftsmanship. They are one of the most skilled smithers in Formaroth. The metalworks that they create are of no equal. From weapons to jewelry, the Legon smithy’s create some of the finest quality goods. The Forest also are known for their furs, as there is are large amounts of game within Legon.</sub>

They've got more timber than anyone else, but they don't export it.
They've got vast amounts of mineral ores, but they have no large industry for using it.
Then they're famous for their craftsmen and smiths, having some of the best of these in Formaroth.

How does these last two add together? Is it that they make some of the best weapons available, but they only make a few each year? Do they only make for personal use? Or is it something else?

From our experience, expert smiths and craftsmen usually requires a fairly decent supporting industry. That does not mean, of course, that this is the only possible solution.

Jewelry usually requires precious metals, but it could also use gems. Mining for such requires industry, as would panning it from rivers. Refining gems is especially demanding. Or do they trade for such? if so, what do they trade away to get gems and such?

Which nations/families do they trade with?

What sort of armor do the people in this nation produce? Do they have the necessary industry to produce scale or plate mail? Chain mail? Or only leather-based stuff?

---

We suppose that others, like @Klomster, could delve better into weapons skills, but it does seem like being expert with all three of longbow, longsword and shield would be pretty demanding of any warrior, as we think they require fairly different training regimens.

We see lots of interesting potential here, though. We would recommend reading over after composing text, as that tends to root out more of those pesky errors that sneak into sheets when the author forgets to keep an eye or three open.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

It might not be a bad idea to get a more accurate and complete map crafted sometime, @TheDuncanMorgan.

The current one lacks useful details like where Nyhem is located.

These days we're too busy to craft something ourselves, otherwise we might've offered to do that.
