The Broken World: Nations of Azoth

What's it like in the Erg? There are so many places to choose from and I can't decide where I want my tribe to set up shop.

[IC/OOC] God and Country - A low-fantasy renaissance NRP of religion and discovery

Yo @Aristo, I was just wondering: would it be possible for us as players to have some characters on the Timluk side?

Also kudos for just being here man and keeping it alive.

@babbysama

My idea was to have the RP take place from the Fiorentian perspective, with a sprinkle of Timlukid POV here and there, but if you're dying to get into the Timlukids' heads, then I don't have a problem with setting up characters or scenarios outside your nation's boundaries.

This did start as a NRP, but if you'd like to move into a wider direction, with active world-building on top of the groundwork, by all means go wild! I'm all for some creative liberty and coloring outside the lines.

The Broken World: Nations of Azoth

I'm particularly interested in the Eastmarches/Meridion regions; they're situated a bit further from the main civilized lands. Might be a nice place for a "barbarian" society?

Is there some more info on the Salished Empire that we could use & reference when creating our own faction cultures?

Hype!

[IC/OOC] God and Country - A low-fantasy renaissance NRP of religion and discovery

@Aristo I asked a while ago about the rituals and ceremonies in the Ambrusian religion, and I'd like to ask again now. What kinds of rituals and ceremonies are in the Ambrusian religion?

@bloonewb

Sorry I overlooked this. For starters, there is a Christmas-equivalent that celebrates the birth of Saint Fiorentino, and an Easter-like vigil recognizing the day he passed on to God's fold. I purposefully wanted to leave the nuances of religion vague, as players will likely have regional differences in the ways they observe the rituals and services; with the nitty-gritty of practice largely left off-screen, secondary to the main story and characters within.
We'll call the Christmas-equivalent "Day of Conception," or "Conception Day." And let's call the Easter-equivalent "The Passing," or "Passing Day."

Visually, imagine Fiorentinan mass much like you would a Catholic one in a great city like Rome - an introductory rite, reading of scripture, rites preparing the altar, dialogue between the congregation and the priests in psalms, concluding prayers, etc. There isn't a communion equivalent, since Fiorentino didn't have a Last Supper-type of gig. Picture choirboys, braziers billowing incense as they swing back and forth, lots of gold and red, droning chants, yadda, yadda.

'Elves' - An inverted Elven RP

Unconventional elves => best elves. Piss on the clichés!

I'm down for this; looks like a fresh take on fantasy that's sorely needed.

Into The Dark: Mercenaries (Heroes of Fame and Fortune)

@AristoI am fairly sure my team is full right now, but I tell ya hwat. If you send me a character concept, I'll see if I can squeeze you in. And yes, werewolves are a thing. I am adding info for them now. But I am not sure if I will allow a beginning werewolf. Maybe. No vampires however.

@POOHEAD189

Thanks; I'll get to reading and whip something up soon!

I'm back home, woohoo!

I know I've been a bit on the sidelines for a GM, and apologize for it. I will do my best to move things along and have more of a presence in the OOC. Thanks to everyone for sticking around and your quality work!

@POOHEAD189
Mind if I hop in? I wanted to jump into a one-character role for a while, since I'm running my NRP at the same time and managing a few bodies at once.

I also wanted to ask if lycanthropy is or could be an element of your setting; I've had a recent obsession with werecreatures lately.
