Bio

Greetings,

I am Jb; Briton by birth, roleplayer by my own hand, and lover of literature. I am also an amateur historian, a receiver of a Bachelors degree in Ancient and Medieval History - quite a useless degree, actually - and would like to think that I'm a fair, honest and open guy.

As far as RP'ing goes, I'm pretty open to most things really, all you need to do is ask! :)

So, if you've ever any questions for me, wish to speak about RP's involving myself or run by myself, or simply feel like a chat, don't be afraid to get in touch.

@ArenaSnow I'd recommend the Hegemonia City-States mod for Rome I or, failing that, the Wrath of Sparta DLC for Rome II; both in the time period, and both give a good idea of 'troop choice' etc.

Oh, and read this: history.com/topics/ancient-history/pel..

Gives a pretty good overall, and non-academic, overview of the whole shebang.

So, so far we've got claims on either Sparta/Athens aaaand barbaric Thrake...good, good.
Ah! A 60's classic that one, and one can never get enough Eastwood.

You know I'd never say no to you, Ros(alind), but you didn't say 'yee-haw' and that's a requirement I'm afraid.
I don't think this really needs that much explaining, but here is what ya'll probably need to know...

The year is 1865, the American Civil War has just ended with victory for the Union and the Confederate south has been defeated. In the west, along the frontier, pioneers, settlers and U.S. Army personnel begin to push forth once more - the permission of their government and their manifest destiny giving them all the rights they need to do so.

Our posse begin their journey(s) not in the west, however, but in the still-wild independent state of Texas. Close to the agreed border with Mexico, and as lawless as any other developing state in the U.S., it is the perfect place to find a mingled band of misfits - lawless or otherwise - for some quick shootin' and fast drawin' adventures in the Old West.

In short, I'm looking for a group (large or small) to join me in some character developing, plot advancing, revolver slinging hijinks; fans of such programs as Deadwood, Hell on Wheels, Raw Hide and even Little House on the Prarie, as-well-as any of the hundreds of Western genre films will be especially welcome and probably enjoy it the most.

So, do I have any willing volunteers? If I do, just gimme a yee-haw!
@Sven the Silent I'm well versed in pre-medieval history, but thanks for the suggestions. :)

@ArenaSnow As you wish! Contrary to popular belief, I don't expect people to be completely accurate.
@Sven the Silent Sure thing, I've been trying to start up a Late Roman Empire RP for some time, never tried an NRP in that time period though.
@MetalLover If it's not contested by anyone else, then probably. :)
That sneaky Italia...always so sneaky.
Maps and all the info you'll really need to participate added to the OP.
@Sven the Silent @Sadko@Cold Hands@Louis Dabout

You know, Sven, I completely agree with you! Thought I'd give it a try though and, if it all goes to crap, I've got other ideas...ones closer to the modern day that people might know of.

That being said, people, wikipedia is your friend...
@Hank@Peik@Dead Cruiser@Flagg@Kingfisher@Durandal@Pripovednik@agentmanatee@Lone Wanderer

Yes...it lives!

If you wish to continue, please post. If not, then your character explodes, and life goes on.

Make your choice.
