So I've got this idea for a nation game where we play as fictional Vikings around a fictional inland sea. This is a game of small scopes - there will be no tabletop-ish systems, and the nations themselves will be small-scale (more like Jarldoms/baronies and less like full blown nations). There will be wars and trade and diplomatic endavours, but everything will play out through narration rather than statistics.

Now, when I say Vikings, that doesn't mean that your people have to really be just like real life Vikings. The point is to catch the feel - this inland sea is inhabited by people that are polytheistic and adventrous. They live in small settlements and are not very advanced in terms of technologic progress. They don't all have to be bearded mead-drinkers, hailing the allfather and sporting nordic names. They don't all have to be human - elves, orcs, dwarves and other such stuff is ok. We'll keep it pretty stardard in terms of fantasy though.

Here's the map I'm going to use. It's an adaptation of a map used in an older nation game.


Give a holler if you're interested and, if enough players join, we'll have this up in a bit.

ALSO: Looking for a Co-GM. Give another holler if you're interested in that.

Cheers.

@Thrashy I don't typically do nation RP (it's quite scary) I am willing to give this a go, because I'm a pagan. Yes, that's the sole reason. Hail Óðinn bróðir.

Tentative interest, not 100% sure on commitment tho.

Would something like a beastmen horde be acceptable? Total War Warhammer has filled my blood with the call of the wild as of late

@ClocktowerEchos At least my religion isn't fictional.

@BuddhaThe heresy is real then D<

I'm somewhat interested.

Hmm, perhaps. If we get enough other players doing the normal Viking stuff, you could be our inverted "eastern horde" trope. Cool?

@Thrashyseems fair.

Out of curiosity, if I do end up doing vikings, could I have a bunch if vikings who literally only live on the water on giant boats of many boats? Just an idea that suddenly popped into my head.

How many Viking players you looking for tho?

Would you be alright if I was to be a normal civilization that would have to deal with viking hordes or?

I might be interested in joining, Im thinking of playing a group of Travelling mystics who rather than worshipping A pantheon of Gods, Study the Fate and Yggdrasil or whatever its equivilent is.

Interested.

Interested, and I'd be down for the co-GM position. I'd be interested in taking a more fantasy angle with this. It would still be based around vikings and whatnot, though it might be intriguing to add certain fantasy elements. A beastman horde, maybe basic magic, and such would be fun.

This isn't gonna fly. I'm shutting it down.

Oh? Looks like you got enough support already to establish a foundation for an RP.

I think its related to some irl time commitment he could fulfill for the RP from what I can see.

Ah.

@Buddha@ClocktowerEchos@LordZell@Lucidnonsense@Hannibal@Lexicon@Dinh AaronMk

Thinking about picking this up again. Anyone still interested?

@Thrashy Sorry mate but I've got a bunch of other RPs I'm in/GMing atm, I dont think I can really do this :\

That's cool, see you in another game :)

ALSO, the game is of course still open to new additions.

I'd still be game.
