Alright then! Thank you! ;)

I was thinking of keeping the same generic idea, which means multiple nations and all. However instead of continents I was thinking one big land with multiple kingdoms. The only problem is that there need to be a goal...I can see the big picture and thought about making open conflict between some factions, but I always have a hard time thinking small scale. What could a band of characters be doing in an epic scaled war between factions in a wandering Roleplay...?

Many things actually. It just depends on the character's we are making. For example some us may have an interest in joining the wars, maybe we're mercenaries or profit minded arms merchants, some of us may have an interest in stopping the wars, maybe some are refugees or other unfortunates that have been caught up. There may have been a mission set out by one of the faction that we want to fulfill that involves us traveling around territory the said faction cant get access to.

I talked with Negative and Dri about pulling the world over from Roulit, the RP we played together, I thought it had been lost forever but yet, it lives! Well...it doesn't live, but the info has not been wiped from the internet. So it would be really easy for us to tweak it a little, pull it over to this site and get ready to play. If you want to GM that's cool Twinkle, and we could bring in some new blood. But I personally think the "original group" (aka: all of us) should kind of do a joint/group GM, since we pretty much do that anyway. Plus that would kind of free up Twinkle from some of the stress, because I totally think she should have a character. But this world/story would allow you to have a character that doesn't have to be in charge of the whole group IC. You could still play the leader of an army or rebel faction or whatnot.

Anyway! If you give me a little time I can work up a preview of the world and a tiny bit more time to get with Negative & Dri and we can work up the full introduction. If you guys are into it. I think you will possibly love it!!

What kind of world is it?

Mild to No Magic Fantasy Medieval World. But it has pretty good plot and different quest opportunities already in the basic plot. I'm working on it now.

Alright, let's see what it looks like then. :)

This is a test. You may also consider it a sneak-peak. Carry on.

If there aren't airships in this world I demand there to be!

Ok guys!! I've finally got the Roulit RP together. I think I've decided to GM it, if everybody is into it and wants to play in the world. I'm not trying to pull this out from under you Twinkle, and if you still want to come up with a different world for us to try out and for you to GM its cool. I just figured since I've had history with this world (and a lotta ocd with the set up) I would be the one to get it into motion. Anyway, I still think it will be cool to bring in some new people. But I'd like to do the sort of group GM idea I had talked about. Basically meaning we'll talk things over before I execute any ideas, and everyone will be able to have an influential opinion. Pretty much, keep the good thing we've currently got going.

I'd like to note that this is not necessarily the final version of the world that we will play in, I can still ad in changes and I really want to hear everyone's serious critique and suggestions. For instance, Negative offered up the idea to give the gems certain magical properties, to make them more desirable to the other kingdoms. Also the God/Goddess and Demi God list is credit to Negative.

Iarumas, I like the idea of airships possibly, if they're "old style." Its a little bit odd to add into this RP because when we played it before it was different, but I don't want it to be the exact world we played before, I want it to be better! Maybe if we don't throw them in as a regular thing, you might like to play the captain of the first airship ever created (woah) of course most likely it would be for the purpose of the war, at least at first, and your character would have to convince the Royal Ruler of whichever kingdom to use the airship. Possibly something like that? We can all talk and figure it out.

So, like I said, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions now, let customize this bi-yatch!! Now, (at the bottom of my post so you have to read all my rambling) here's the link:

the World of Roulit

That looks a pretty damn cool world, I just have one main issue. If the connections between the islands has been severed, how do they actually fight each other?

That is an excellent question! lol
I had thought about this some, but not as much as I needed to. In theory the armies could have some sort of trained beasts, dragons or the like. But that wouldn't be fully practical.

The other option would be to leave the road in tact, but perhaps degraded. See when we played this world before, it was actually in the time period long after the wars, the road was broken and the people of each kingdom were completely forbidden by law from leaving their home island. But we decided it would be fun if we stepped back to the beginning of the first war, and the very beginning of the law not to travel. Just for more, drama in the story I guess. I always liked the fact that the road was broken, but it would make more sense for that to happen during the war, and some sabotage or something.

Third option, would be a really good excuse to bring your airship idea into the mix. The road could be broken...or on of the kingdoms could sabotage the road, to give them advantage. Having read the plotline now, do you think the airships would fit in, without making things too advanced? I do like the idea of adding a hint of steampunk feel, without going overboard with it.

Thanks for bringing up that question though. This is why I need help getting this together. I need smart people to help me work out the details :P

Another point of discussion, is whether we want to include elf & dwarf races. I talked with negative a little about this, and we don't think they would really fit in this world, but if for the sake of diversity everyone wants to add the races, it is definitely *possible* to fit them in this world.

So, I just got back around to checking this after massive delay and I find that my negligence has been my undoing.

;-;

About to take a look at the OOC for Roulit right now, more than likely I'll be interested in doing it!

#WhattheheckevenisanIzakaSazaka

Okay. I have not read everything in the OOC that is new, let alone the full OOC of Roulit yet, but let me say this;

You want to GM? FINE. Let me warn you though, I am keeping the biggest room of this OOC house. I'll also go pout in the room until SOMEONE brings me chocolate cookies with smileys on them. Why? Because.

I'll get to pouting.



Now, more seriously, I do not mind at all. It has been a while since I took place in a Roleplay that I am not the one GM-ing and I think it's gonna be great. I might be more prompt to post and be interested if I don't have that pseudo-stress on me. This being said, I don't mind if we all bring ideas into it....but if you allow new players, which I kind of want, I think it's better fi you remain the main brain.

1. You know the world better than everyone else.
2. Talking things through every time is going to be a long process that may or may not end up showing in the roleplay.

If you still think it's a good idea, I won't complain, I just wanted to share my personal fears.

*quietly knocks on Twinkle's door with big apologetic anime eyes, holding a whole bunch of chocolate smiley face cookies*

I really didn't mean to make you mad 8(

Well I'll do the solo GM thing, but I do want you guys to question my authority whenever necessary. The biggest thing I will need help with is approving the new people so we don't end up with any crap writers. Maybe you guys could help me with that? I've GM-ed before, but I have a bad habit of wanting to take in everybody that comes along lol

I had that too, until I turned into a demonic mistress of perfection. No, really, I just ask for a text sample whenever I feel doubtful.

Since asking everyone directly through the OOC, out of the blue, can be scary for other players, just PM the ones that posted a character. Ask them to provide you with a text sample for quality purposes. As the GM, we have the right to do such a thing. You can also introduce me as a sort of co-GM or helping hand. If you want, I can be the one in charge of disciplinary measures! :O Yes! YES!....Hrm-- I mean, Bunnies and butterfly and chocolate cupcakes...anyway. Yeah, I can ask them if you want em to.

P.S: I really wasn't mad or anything, I actually love the idea of laying back and just giving a helping hand. :)

Haha sounds awesome! I shall officially deputize you once we get this thing rolling. If you gotten a chance to read the info yet, do you have any comments or critiques? I'm very open to suggestions lol

That goes for you too, um, guy...oh what's it...strange, dude who randomly disappears for extended amounts of time...oh yeah! Wanna hear your opinion too Izaka ;p

I personally think it looks awesome. I don't have much else to say. xD Are there any other kind of mystic creatures other than demi-gods, and are there intelligent ones?

I'm thinking of leaving that up to the players. There's always the possibility of many creatures, especially on the uninhabited islands. Like last time we played a few people had dragons, one a winged tiger, one a wyvern, and I had a winged wolf. They all varied in inelegance I guess, more so they had different levels of the ability to understand when someone was communicating with them. None of them ever communicated back, but it could be possible to fit into the world. Especially by some sort of mental connection. I like when people add in their own creative & original ideas, as long as they're somewhat reasonable in the world. I like the amount of "extended creation" that this world has though, that's why I don't like setting up too many specifics. I'm just overly detailed, not specific.

That much is obvious by my long rambling OOC posts. Anyway! I'm glad you like it!

Can I play something else than a human? :3 I've got an idea, but I'd like for you to approve of it first. Before I get to that, I want to know if it could be accepted. I can make it fit so that it doesn't change much.

Or do you think it would be too...different?

It would definitely be interesting. I'm sure we can tweak it and make it work if necessary. You've definitely sparked my interest. I'd like to see the CS, so yeah, we'll definitely find a way to make it work :)
If you want to give me an idea of what you wanna do before working up the full CS that's cool, or if you just wanna dive in we can go from there. Its up to you!! I'm definitely into the idea of something new and interesting. You can always throw in your own NPCs as needed too.
