I'm in a similar state to you, Ser Kal. Except I've rarely been in forum roleplay myself-

Getting deeper.

Added a few more pieces of lore. I'll probably leave that section for now, and move onto the rest.

As mentioned, if anyone has any questions regarding the RP's lore, shout it out and I'll get on it. Sometimes when writing things like this, my mind hits a wall and I can't work out what needs including and what doesn't, meaning I have to come back the following day to reassess. First world problems etc.

Anyways, I'll keep y'all updated on how things are going as they progress.

I honestly can't wait for the roleplay to start. Such lore, much danger, much death.

Oh goodness, you certainly are getting much deeper Hamster! The touch up on gender equality was nice, as most people tend to forget about it in fantasy settings. This whole 'scenario' business will take me time to asjust to, however xD

Trust me, it works.

8 people roaming around together is not workable; I've tried, many times. With this system, you wont have to come home from work/school, read through ten posts and then try to remember who interacted with your character as you write a reply. Whilst this is not normally a problem for me personally, I know it is for others. So, yah.

The simple idea is that you only have to interact with the characters operating in the same area.

EDIT: Ah yeah the gender business; well, I was tired of all these perfect social utopias people keep dreaming up. My world is full of racists and sexists, snobs and the downtrodden.

I am actually giving forum roleplays a bit of a trial run, coming from the more instantaneous message oriented counterpart of the art. Back then I often juggled eight or more people in a single roleplay where everyone was interacting simultaneously! So yeah, I understand the hell of large groups at once xD

Wondering why I never thought of a scenario system now-

On another note, regarding scenarios. I'm at a crossroads with them over giving away details.

Would it be best for me to provide:

    - General layout
    - Types of monsters present, if any.
    - Lore-related discoveries (i.e ancient texts/pictures denoting Ironshore's past)
    - Loot to be found.
    - Weather
    - Time of day


Or would it be better to allow the players to decide? You know, let 'em make it up as they go along?

I'm personally in favor of keeping things such as that unknown to us as players unless it's a thoroughly scoutted/explored area. Wearher, type of day, and perhaps general layout would make sense.

That was my thinking. It also means I have to do less work, which is always good!

I'll set the time of day, and weather. However, I think it best if the pictures are left to give a representation of the area, and that the players make up the layout themselves.

In the castle's instance, the players know there's ruins on top of the cliff; they can decide for themselves where the keep is, or the remnants of a blacksmith's lodge. If I start dictating these details, I'm worried it might take too much away from player input.

Righty'o, well I've added brief layouts for both starting scenarios.

I'll be adding more stuff to this as the day goes on. I might pause with everything else, and move onto character sheets, so that you guys who are still interested in this can get a head start for the OOC.
