Maybe we should just have beards with beards that live in mountains. Call them "Baerdes." or something.

Or maybe dwarves on a beach with sand-khazad's and alegaritas. Why they have to be in caves, after all?

Having been part of the original, I can talk about how we have approached magic in the past.

We have typically been restrictive, either requiring magic to be somewhat explainable from a modern scientific perspective, be muted and weak, or be a born trait that someone has very little control over. It is just too difficult to balance a liberal system of magic amongst a group of people without it becoming gamey, or at least in my opinion.

May we combine with the natives to create a force so unstoppable that not even professional stoppers will be able to stop it.

A Hello and an Inquiry

We're moving a month or two ahead. Just enough to put us on new footing, without totally interrupting everyone's plans.

I reboot would be saying "It's 1970 again. Go."

We are starting where we left off, just cleaning up a lot of abandoned nations and changing a few things in the past to make them make more sense.

A Hello and an Inquiry

Complete reboot? No, it's our baby.

But we are rejigging the cannon to make it more accessible.

Enter gorgenmast.As has been said previously, the lore associated with this particular RP is gargantuan. On top of that, there are significant portions which are ambiguous, hard-to-follow, or downright ridiculous. (E.g. Northern Florida rebelled and became a military power that invaded much of the Southern U.S. No, I'm not kidding.) This is the nature of any collaborative story. But before we move that RP over here, we would like to smooth out the lore and make it as plausible and accessible as possible.The only problem is that nobody seems to doing anything to that end.

I've smoothed over North America with Aaron, and i've figured out a strategy to smooth over my own questionable moves. Now we need to get it in writing. I'm busiest on the weekends, so I should be able to put some more effort into it later.

In the mean time, what you guys should do is write up some basic overviews on what your nations have been doing. Pepperhugs and Googer should probably also write an overview on what we will be considering cannon in Europe. I know, that is a lot, but imma try to tackle the Americas so don't fret.

What I would like to see is a series of accessible sets of information that allows new members to join without being met with too much crazy. That will require us to drop some things... basically, any nation that hasn't played a major part in the larger story will be wiped clean. I'll find a way to rejig the Americas in such a way that fits the original without being too batshit.

So for Europe, aside from Spain and Germany, things that should definitely go in cannon will be the British Anarchy, Poland being a notable power, and the larger part of what happened in Finland. You guys can figure out what you want to do with France and Italy. Evan, myself, and maybe Veo if we find him can handle the Ottoman lands and the middle east. That should leave me with Africa, and Aaron with the east.
