@Balthazar007 "Can I have another Dark Ale please? And a shot of whatever that little guy over there just had! Not nearly as much though!"

"Certainly, I'll just fetch the tongs for you."

@MonstrousMan Lifting his mace from the floor he banged on the ceiling, hoping that Geoff would come down.

All of a sudden the floor lurched beneath Geoff's feet, the wooden boards splintering and cracking as they were struck roughly from below. He only just had time to reach out and grab his stave from where it was laying on the bar top before the floor finally gave way beneath him, dropping him down into the cellar to land smack down on top of Imglush.

Quickly climbing off of the beast, rubbing his bruised backside with one hand and waving his tree branch at the ceiling to quickly repair the damage, Geoff glared impatiently at his companion and his spat through gritted teeth, "What do you want!?!"

We're trying to turn her OFF.

@TheUnknowable

Speak for yourself, Sevyn's been bugging me for the last four hours to show her how I did it!

*Is looking through everyone's wallets that he somehow got.* Hmm?

Patch: "You didn't break the tiny little glass vial I had in there when you took it, did you? Not that you should worry at all, everyone'll be fine... _{or I'll be fine at least, I'm immunised...}"

Well, of all my characters, she's the one I've put the most thought into. I'm actually writing a novel with her in a fairly similar setting to this. So yeah.

For example, Denmark might have people using jet packs to get to work. However, some countries have technologies going back all the way to the stone age.

@SpookySquid

But as a character with knowledge of modern day science it's possible they could develop gunpowder from minerals available in the Stone Age settlements, which at the very least would allow them to construct bombs and grenades. If they also know metallurgy the tribesmen could soon be producing rifles and cannon (presuming the player also understands the techniques required for rifling.)

In the meantime the Dutch may have jetpacks, but without knowledge of explosive ordnance they might not be able to construct payloads for missiles and rockets, and they might end up losing a war against a technologically inferior but more specialised opponent.

Would there be any form of patent control in the game, where a player can hold a monopoly on certain designs and techniques developed by their nation first?

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Yes, the only options are Jedi and Sith since the main aspect of the Rp are to explore both the differences and similarity between the two when it comes to the Force, methods to completing their goals, and more. Most movies and other media make Sith out to be completely evil for no reason or Jedi as usually passive, a fact we wanted to change up and morph through how Players chose to play it out.

@Fallenreaper

I'm actually doing a roleplay with a group once a month at the moment set 6,500 BBY, which means it pre-dates the existence of the Sith.¹ At this point in history Force users aren't automatically made Jedi, and some exist in everyday life without ever learning to force their powers, similar to Leia in the Expanded Universe, where for decades she never embraced her powers, instead focusing on the political side of building the New Republic.

The interesting part is that without any clearly defined Dark Side each player is free to use powers which would normally be labelled as Sith without any of the social stigmatism which comes with them after the Hyperspace War, making the morality system a far more personal matter, as well as allowing both Light and Dark Jedi to work together on the same team.
_{1 - Well, the existence of the Sith Empire at least. The Sith race exist as early hominids but won't become powerful force users until the Dark Jedi expelled by the Jedi Order mess with their evolution to breed the Purebloods about 500 years after the events of my story.}

I will add we have a list of Force Powers to help prevent Powers that could be considered difficult to manage and balance rp wise. It's mainly to make things less hassle for the GMs and power search easier for the players, including a small descriptions.

The likes of Mandalorians are ruled out. I can say that much.

@Sep

What about other bounty hunters and other Jedi-killing specialists?

The Broken Drum - Casual drop-in chat for out-of-work adventurers

@User "Thats two for the bottle, one for keeping it pristine and another for not breaking the wax seal"

Geoff nodded politely to the old man and smiled as her took the offered gold. He didn't have the heart to tell the man that the only reason the bottle was intact was that after his armies had sacked the city and gorged themselves in the pantries and wine cellars of the courts this had been the only bottle left out of thousands which had originally been held. And no matter how sweet the wine, after the hundredth bottle Geoff hadn't the appetite for another drop of the stuff.

And as for goliath blood, Geoff always preferred his served freshly squeezed, complete with the pulp.

@MonstrousMan

Turning his attention to the scrap of paper Imglush had handed him Geoff stared incomprehensibly at the crute marks, at first thinking the beast had used the parchment to blow his nose with, or performed some other bodily function. As he turned the paper this way and that he finally started to make out things which, when viewed through squinted eyes and held up at an angle, might just be considered to be letters, but even with that realisation Geoff had no idea what the message was supposed to say.

The Fog

As the bandit leader turned and fired towards the archer, leaving his back exposed to her, Kis saw her opportunity. Breaking from cover she quickly sprinted across the yard, her blades in her hands as she leapt up into the air. Swinging them down in unison she aimed for the break in the man's armour between his body and his head, the thin gap under his helmet where a precise blade should be able to drive down into his chest, hopefully finding his heart.

Time almost seemed to freeze as her adrenaline pump[ed through Kis's veins, her perceptions and reactions quickening in the heat of the moment. Even as she slowly drew closer she shifted her fingers on the knife handles, moving the tips ever so slightly as she tried to line up his attack for a single perfect strike.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Exclamation Marks!

@SpookySquid What'd be the process for developing new technology within the game? If I used modern day knowledge to introduce something which could've been built using the technology available within the game what's to stop everyone else immediately doing the same thing?

Would there be any development delay for introducing new technology? Or espionage to find out what other players have got access to?
