Low Fantasy dos! Humans only, minor magic if it helps the plot in the far-off corners of the world, but otherwise it's not really a thing.

Also, just a heads-up to the interested: I'm looking for a new map to have an NRP on a larger scale, since one giant Pangaea-landmass doesn't exactly beget a myriad of different cultures. The base continent will be mostly European in culture to satisfy those into the Temperate setting idea, and a few far-off smaller continents for those who want to play a different kind of peoples.

EDIT: [@Everyone] so while i look for this map, feel free to start giving me an idea of what you've got in mind so i know how far to space these continents.


Excellent! You officially have the Jeyma Seal of Approval.

"feel free to start giving me an idea of what you've got in mind so i know how far to space these continents."

Be prepared for everyone to bombard you with specific requests.

Including me: I really want to RP a small chain of islands (think of Hawaii, but I'll probably give it a different style of culture) so please try to find or create a map that has at least one little island chain. If you can't, don't sweat it, I'll probably end up adding my own island to the map

Meanwhile I just want to create a hybrid civilization based on the Franks, Japanese, and Polynesians.

That sounds kinda fun-but-hard to pull off.

But now I'm super-duper interested to see how it turns out.

C’mon, it’ll be a hoot!

Polynesian Naval Mastery! Japanese Genetics and Ethics! Frankish Culture and Resources!

But no, really this comes from an idea I had way back in Grevious Khan’s A Glided Throne, though for various reasons I decided to play pretty typical Brythonic-influenced folks instead of this. I wanted to come up with the prospect of a racially diverse people who were East Asian in appearance but culturally more in line with the Germanic kingdoms of the early middle ages— The Frankish Kingdom, The Burgundian Kingdom, Saxony, Brittany, Lombardy, etc.

From there I wanted to give them a reason to be surrounded by European-esque cultures, so I developed a naval identity (hence Polynesia), and then spin my own ideas from there during the course of the RP’s prebuilding draft and then the RP itself. It’s an incredibly niche and perhaps esoteric idea, but I’ve played white people with bows or white people with swords for a few times enough to want to try something new. I mean imagine if the Katana was perfected with European steelworking instead of the “pig iron” concept or how a shogunate-like concept evolving alongside European customs would be.

Damnit.

The only cultures I'm really well-versed in are Japanese, North American Indian, and European culture. Those are usually my fall-back on this type of R.P., because if nothing else, I know I can always pull off one of those convincingly.

So unless y'all want ANOTHER Japanese-Euro mix (I'm glaring daggers at Gowi's avatar), I think I'm gonna need to go do some research, or just make my culture up wholesale.

It was just a reference to you doing a Japanese/European culture, which is usually my go-to

Not upset, of course. It'll be fun to do something different.

Well, I want to get back into RPing after my short break and this looks fun. So, would there still even be room? The OP mentioned 3-4, but I'm not sure if that was an 'at least' or an 'at max'.

Personally, I'd like to see the map before I start making up my nation. It's usually how I get inspired.

Bits and pieces from all over. But I've always been interested mainly in the Cherokee and Muscogee natives. Largely because I live in one of those areas in the Southeastern U.S., where you can't go five feet without running into either a Cherokee or a Muscogee object, name, or place.

I was also kinda wandering that. Hopefully it's an at least, but he tagged it as "Small Group".

Of course, half of all "I'm interested!" people won't show up for the O.O.C. creation, so it may not be a problem.

I might do a mixture of Ottoman, Britain, and Portugal (maybe Spain) for my nation. Or maybe just do China, Britain, and the Ottomans.
