@Willy Vereb In terms of a specific time period, there is none, or at least none that would apply to a real world analogue. Some civilizations are evolved, while some are less evolved -- One nation is chucking people off pyramids, another has a history long enough that they've emigrated and shifted cultures. I figured saying that the world is in a medieval/renaissance period would be a general enough blanket statement for the kind of settings I'm looking for, but to reiterate, the world's technology is mostly on a medieval level. Some places can be a little further back and be smelting bronze weapons in thatch-roofed huts, others can be a little further ahead and boiling made-up chemicals in fancy test tubes. The hard limit is that there are no firearms because it's a personal preference of mine. If you really want to use gunpowder, I could accept simple gunpowder bombs like the Mongolians used, but that's about it.

That's all irrelevant.

We can have all that technology you mentioned, but without guns, because the GM says that's what he wants.

Realism doesn't matter outside of History and Slice-of-Life RPs. Moot points.
Realism is subservient to fun, sure.
It just frustrates me to no end how misinformed people are about guns and try to eliminate them out of some weird paranoia. It's disgusting, to be honest. There's no other word for it. Not even D&D does that anymore and they're the founders of so many weird misconceptions about "medieval" equipment.

But yeah, naturally the GM's word is the rule. My nation works just fine without guns, even. Even the Black Army would not change much without them. It just feels wrong.

1x Thank Thank

@Willy Vereb Thanks for understanding. I get that you're coming from a place of honest accuracy in a field rife with cool-looking inaccuracy, I'm just kind of a sucker for that Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament™ aesthetic.

Also, while I'm out here pissing in everybody's proverbial cornflakes, I'm afraid I have to nip @Monkeypants's idea in the bud, as I'd prefer to not have ships advanced enough for regular intercontinental travel. That, and I don't want to have to keep track of the multiple ethnicities, cultures, and armies of all the different countries owned by the same dudes. I understand my "no good boats" rule means that some places will be inaccessible, though I have some handy plot ready to cover that right up if anybody's worried we're just gonna dick around in not-Europe.

@DeadBeatWalking That's my biggest worry. I figured if travel was possible around the continents, it'd make nations easier to interact with.

Unless we have ways for one continent to interact with the other in any reasonable manner, it's just going to be two separate NRP's. one for the west continent, and one for the east.

Well it doesn't look like you'd need particularly good boats for regular intercontinental travel, though it does mean those islands between the continents would be some prime real estate I'd imagine.

Oh, and I have a question @Darkspleen. What do you imagine the geography of your nation being? Since I was planning on going with tropics/desert for the portion I occupy.

Sorry for the small size. Some d-bag uploaded a hilariously small picture, so the only way I could add his to the map was to make them all equally small (expanding his would have fucked it up). So... blame him for the small map.

If anyone wants to try and make a bigger one, I would welcome that of course. I am not good at this kind of thing: I just saw the need to unify the map. If anyone wants to make a better one, don't feel obligated to hold off for the sake of my feelings.



If I missed anyone (you know who you are), it's because your map couldn't be added due to a glitch that I was too stupid to solve.

I can make it bigger, but then it will look more pixelated

@Monkeypants Travelling from one continent to another is not impossible, just not feasible for a country to manage all the messages and new laws and declarations of war against other nations from one end of the continent to the other, regularly. The travel time is too long and the distance is too great, so each place would probably just end up governing itself. That being said, the plot in mind to bridge the two continents is a voyage of noblemen from the east coming to the west. So, multiple plots, just not multiple plots because of the distance.

@Darkspleen If your idea is being the horse guys and having a reputation as a warlike people for being hired as mercenaries a lot, then there's no piss in your foreseeable future. Just reiterate in their culture section that they're not actually Dothraki, their reputation just is.

@TheRestofYou OOC up soon.

It misses ethanjory's claim, at least. Also you probably have to axe Monkey's claims since he needs to work out a new one now.

@DarkspleenI already took the Dothraki Sea, though. Hope you don't mind it that much.

Ethanjory was the only one, actually.

You were being compared to the Dothraki and I said I seem to have their territory in the ASOIAF map.
That's all, actually.

Can we arrange to have our nations a bit closer to each other?
I mean it's like all of us are trying to running away from each other. Why? Why can't we have neighbors?
