Concerning that battlefield: it's not an army, not a nation, or anything of the sort. It's an adventure site, so to speak - a place haunted with undead that occasionally wander off and murder people, but not a unified force. Necromancers, monsters and bandits would be the threats in that territory.

But I was originally going to make that when I figured the plot would be more high adventure themed. It's leaning toward a national focus on things (despite not being a nation roleplay), so I'm not sure if that's the right thing to make.

@HaleyTheRandom She looks interesting :)

Looks like we got good mix of characters/kingdoms coming together. You can add her to the character tab.

@Inlaa There will be adventure in it, although it seems like with Enoch being the bigger threat. There might be more war/nation themes then first wanted.

@GoddessSophia Another character coming your way, could be a game changer if the Enoch dare march into the woods?! xD

@Pripovednik Alright, go ahead :) Sounds good and could be a possible ally/frenemy of anyone.

Because I had lost my creative streak there for a second and I think that is suits a Vampire....

@GoddessSophia Alrighty.

Well, one way to work with both high adventure themes and global threats? Do it Lord of the Rings style.

Party forms for adventure > is threatened by agents of Big Bad > ends up on a quest to stop the Big Bad > eventually there are big armies and stuff and oh God is that a giant elephant?

This would let the roleplay have both high adventure themes and, y'know, war. It would focus on individuals and their quest. Battles and such would be a backdrop, almost.

Also, I think it would be good if people were to keep their minds open as to what the result of the plot could be. Evil could lose, or the perceived evil could end up freeing itself from the actual evil (THE HEART, maybe), or the perceived evil could win and thus lead to a different sort of story altogether (one of resistance, for example). Smaller things should be left open, too. Player characters can die. Nations can crumble. Etc, etc.

Sorry if this is a rambling post. But yeah, basically: the rough idea of the plot should be known, but the exact outcomes and the road taken there... not so much.

@InlaaS'all good man. Neat idea

@Inlaa That actually sounds like a good idea. It might help us take more focus on the Adventure part of the rp, rather than focusing it like a Nations rp.

Ramble if you wish :) It's useful.

I like where this is going.

I think, we may need more male characters. I am not sure, how everyone feels about playing the opposite sex. But I mostly stick to Female characters. But I do play a male from time to time...which is not that often.

Or maybe we could at least create a character, or two that could be a minor role to the story-line and contribute *fill in some blanks* *They could be the one's to die, unless we would want to resurrect our main characters if they died along the course of the story-line*

I feel like we're just missing a ring that makes you invisible. :)

Eh. There's nothing wrong with a cast that has more female than male leads in it.

I think I'd like to play NPCs and the like, the more I think about it. You know: someone that sets some scenes, maybe arranges random events, etc. Not a "GM," as I don't want to be in control or anything, but someone that mainly participates by making things the other players can react to and such.

If I were to make a character, I'm not sure what I'd want to make.

One more suggestion: I think this should be a subcontinent to a larger continent, like India and Europe are to Eurasia (yes, I know: Europe is often considered a separate continent despite being part of the same landmass). Alternatively, think of Italy and Spain: big chunks of land jutting out into the ocean. Thus, there's a big wide world where SOMETHING is out there, but we don't have to specify what. It's with places in that big wide world that the people of this continent might trade with, or where invaders may come from, etc.

(Said rest-of-the-world could also be a good place for future RP.)

I suppose that may be a good point, but it also might be good to even it out a little bit.

Didn't you mention making a character sheet for the Dragon? That's okay, if you're not sure who you want to play. There's lots of options to choose from.
IC won't start just yet; I am moving house next week so If I am gone for a few days, I do apologize in advance. I'll try and be on when I can be.

Mhh, that is a good idea. I guess of not naming it, would give it an element of Mystery of sorts.

Definitely on my to-do list. He'll probably be an NPC, but he won't be completely unable to be reasoned with. Smaug could be talked to, even if he was an evil bastard; this dragon will be able to be negotiated with as well. There just may not be pleasant negotiations.

I'll see about finishing that piece and a piece on the Ghostwood tonight. I'll think about other adventure sites as well, or maybe villages / towns to visit.

Would making a undead kingdom be possible?

That is fair enough. There are still some people that have expressed interest and want to join. So if they come and post something, we'll have yet more things to work with and include into the adventure side of the rp.

Villages and towns are always good :)

@Orcus You mean 'Vampires?' Or are you specifying another specie that would be the undead?...since we already do have a Kingdom that includes Vampires in it.

I mean like the classic undead minions; Ghouls, zombies, skeletons, wraiths and the like.

@Orcus Ah fair enough. Sure go ahead. That sounds like a mysterious yet deadly place to add to the adventure side of the story-line.
