Okay, so I'm trying this one again. Last time it feel through, but this time I'm gonna attack it with a better view in mind.
The Title says it all. I want to do a Wheel of Time RP. From what I gathered a lot of people who were interested last time never finished the book series. Therefore I thought it was best to base it in the past. And because of that I'm not going to hold everyone to events in the past that have to happen. Jordan himself once said no one really knows what happened accurately. So you guys don't all have to crack open a WoT history book and study. (I've already done most of it myself)
Time Period? I'm leaning more towards the Reign of Artur Hawking. Most if not nearly all the records of those times were destroyed. The most reliable records of that time period were in the hands of the Aes Sedai who, after events, were not really friendly with Hawking's falling Empire. Because of this I think there's enough wiggle room we can pretty much do whatever we'd like.
The other time I believe that would be best is the time of the Trolloc Wars.
However there would be some major events that would need to be planned into game play no matter which route we choose.
Acceptable characters? This was the most discussed and worried over last time. A lot of people thought everyone would be Aes Sedai and be OP. I have to say, at this point I'm not going to limit who characters can be. Nor their power levels. I trust you to be able to create a dynamic character set without me ordering people around. If that changes, I'll cross that hurdle when I get there. Typical characters can be:
- Aes Sedai (Women or Men. If you choose to be a male channler know you will die terribly and the Aes Sedai will come after you to kill/gentle you.)
- Warders (If there is an Aes Sedai you can ask that player if they wouldn't mind if you could play their Warder)
- Ta'veren (Are also acceptable and desired)
- Any other character you'd so desire (Kings down to a shepherd)
Casual or Advanced? I'm still debating on wither I should put this in casual or advanced. I guess it all depends on how serious you'd like to be about it. Though no matter what level, I still except certain things from you. Mainly to be able to form cohesive sentences, ideas and plots. To add to what's already been done. To engage in the OOC with relevant discussion about the story (when called for- there's a time and place for everything) and not to completely hijack the plot with nonsense. And since this has become an issue. If you don't like it, leave. No one's forcing you to stay. If I'm not meeting your ideals, again, feel free to leave.
Before I get the IC/OOC going I want a bit of interest. I also need a co-gm. I've tried GM'ing on my own and I've decided I don't like it. So if I don't get someone willing to be my Co-GM, this wont go up. (Just so everyone knows... and if that happens, ok, I'll try again at a later point)
Spoilers: I've read all the books, so I can't really say I can keep this thread (or any subesquent threads) clear of spoilers. However I can promise that I will personally put those spoilers I know are spoilers behind hider tags. I cannot make anyone else do so, however I would advise it unless everyone that joins says they have read all the books.
