Okay, so this idea is VERY rough for now, but I would be interested in seeing if the concept appeals to anyone else.

You are the leader of a small contingent of aliens from a far away galaxy, stranded in a strange and magical world where technology and science do not seems to have its place. All around you is strange landscapes, and worst of all you can sense others that are not of this world as well. You do not recognize them, are they enemies?

The just would by aliens of different factions attempting to make the best of thing and funding their own colonies away from each others in a typical High Fantasy medieval world. There will be mishap due to faulty machines and vastly changed environment on top of the aggressive nature of the local once they notice you. Will you reach out to the other colonies to make alliances? Will you declare war on the whole world? Hey, maybe those strange beings can be reasoned with and taught the right way of Science!

Who knows? You will be the one changing the history of this world by your actions, after all.

Planned Actions per turn:
External - Involves other nations, both local and alien
Internal - involve the betterment of your own colony, that it may be by laws or new infrastructure.
Technological - Uses research efforts to unlock new options in the above two options.

Hmm...

The Eye is Watching.

Edit: Eh. Sorry. Eye closed.

Interesting concept. Do like.

To play space elves or something else? What kind of limits are we putting on alien tech and science?

I do still need to tinker around with that, but expect things to malfunction a LOT at first, as research is needed to make technology work in this strange, magical world.

As for what type of alien, you're free to design yours as you see fit.

I'm going to express tentative interest. I can join one more roleplay (to a total of three), but whether or not this is the right one depends on how often it updates. (I'm trying to only join roleplays that require weekly or twice-a-week in-character posts as my university studies may get crunchy.)

As for the type of aliens, assuming I'm able to join... well... I'll just post some pictures that gave me inspiration.

Depending on how many we end up having interested, the weekly or twice weekly schedule could be very possible.

Question about the actions-per-turn part: when you create the OOC/IC, do we get one of each action per turn? Or is it "pick one"?

And I guess the only other question is how long, time-wise, do you think a turn will be?

I totally understand if this isn't information you're ready to present yet.

One of each action will be used per turn, so the only thing to choose is how you will use the three 'slots' you've got. As for turns, I think that a year a turn would be a good pace to start.

I'm interested in this.

Are you sure a whole year isn't a bit long for 1 turn?

Seems like an interesting idea, write me down.

Can we aliens abandon reason and learn the ways of Magic?

Can we aliens abandon reason and learn the ways of Magic?

You know, they could learn magic without abandoning reason.

I was mainly joking about abandoning reason since in the intro it said "Hey, maybe those strange beings can be reasoned with and taught the right way of Science!" and I was attempting to inverse it. While I would certainly like for my aliens to learn magic, I believe such studies would require discipline, logic and patience.

Seems like quite a few of us are interested in this. 8 participants including the GM? Potentially more/less once the thread itself is made? That's not a bad start.

All we need now is the GM.
