Ancient/Classical World NRP - Interest and Discussion Thread

@Jbcool, Thank you; that was a good position, and sorry for the misapprehension.

I am still starting an Arthurian RP on another site.

My point is the whole 'Smolder' business that I said regarding Robert, is from Tangled.

@IcePezz

Ah, I see.

Has no one watched Disney's Tangled? Lol

@IcePezz

I did; and Frozen too.

@NerevarineFair, fair.

@MonkeypantsI know it's near impossible to tell online, but I was actually being sarcastic; I'm well aware that the average RP'er "doesn't have time for that" though why it should need to be a chore I'm not so certain - I've never asked anyone to have detail down to the smallest detail.

On the flip-side, why take up time to create an entire world, when a world that already existed - and everything to do with it - is right at your fingertips, just a few keystokes away. All you need to do is just read over a wikipedia article.

However, I digress.

Apologies if it sounded like I was serious, I was only jesting and will be more careful with my words next time.

@Jbcool

My own two cents is that with Historical Nation RPs, not only do you lack freedom, but if you play a historical loser in the conflict, like Athens, you have to find a way to avoid the stupidity that led to the 'Revolt of the 400' and the 'Execution of the Naval Commanders at Arginusae' without seeming to break character.

Or, how about if you're playing Mark Anthony and the best option is to discard Cleopatra, but history and staying in-character demands that you keep her around?

And, finally, with Fantasy Nations, you can be a 'good' nation as well as an 'evil' one, with shades of grey optional. You don't have to commit atrocities just for survival, or participate in slavery because the tech to obsolete it completely didn't exist yet. You can just say: I have Magic, therefore I don't have to do what nations normally do out of realistic concerns.

I will wait for your counterargument.

Edit: Also, as the Arthurian Option seems to be losing, I think I'm going to start my own Dark Ages game on another side.

Dark Age Option for me!

@IcePezz, yeah, my later posts have me just mentioning the ones that are with me, including presumably your NPC.

Also, Ioannes evacuated the civilians.

I'd be Samwise, all the way. Even after being rejected by Frodo

(I'd get to use a frying pan to beat up an entire bastion of Orcs!)

@The Fated Fallen

That only happened in the movies.

No nothing to say how robert looks?

@boomlover

He looks like a bit roguish and pirate-y, despite being clearly a Fighter.

@The Fated Fallen, where were you?! *Hugs*

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

Quite true, @Letter Bee - it adds to the shades of varied moralities.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Also, Ioannes didn't think The Red would take kindly to him trying to 'kill-steal'.
