I am currently looking to see if anyone is open to either a 1x1 or small group (2-3)Fantasy role play of my own creation. If given a to a small group or even a 1x1 this would be a rather sandbox roleplay. The story would be up to you and me set within the confines of the world. So no real constraints beyond the setting itself.

A bit about myself. I have been gaming on and off for years especially when it comes to roleplaying. I have never been able to finish any of my campaigns unfortunately due to those I played with disappearing and falling off. Which is always a heart break, but I have hundreds of thousands of characters that have been floating around in my head with no place to go. I have always felt organic epics and stories are told best when told with someone else to interject their characters developing along side mine.

I am looking for a dedicated small team or person willing to come on this journey with me. The world I have built is somewhere between your wildest dreams and darkest nightmares. The story(ies) held with in are the kind that span life times and generations, characters will live, die, marry, burn, fall from grace and find redemption. How that happens and which one's we decide to focus on are all up to you.

Hope to hear back and find some interest.

Need more info on the world you have built, but I've been thinking of something similar. Something I can sink my teeth into and develop a character or two over a long period of time.

@Polybius

The world is very loose currently waiting for others input. However to give you a good idea I'll go ahead and tell you about the main city and the starting point(s) of many of the escapades and adventures most of my Characters reside.

The main city is the city of Apoche sitting on the southern most tip of the Fudime continent just below the Withering Mountain range of the black sand desert. Apoche being a timeless city of trade second only to The Efros Islands which sat to the north west of it within the Vast sea.

Apoche steeped in trade and political intrigue although a large sprawling port city it's deep underbelly and black market expands much further and reaches to the far reaches of distant continents and lands. Dealing in the trade of Whisper aptly named after the Whisper vine which grows at the base of the Withering Mountains, having narcotic and healing properties.The underbelly of Apoche was a haven for criminals. Not as strict or xenophobic as the rest of the nations in this world any person from Half-orc to Tiefling can find acceptance in Apoche. (There are a number of different races custom races are cool too) Many of the prominent houses and guilds being headed by those whom otherwise would not be allowed entry into civilization let alone finding a place of importance.

The world as a whole is dangerous Travel from place to place is not exactly easy everything from horrid weather, beastly encounters and magical anomalies are to be contested with. Threat of war is always boiling beneath the surface as there is always a constant vie for power between the great nations. Apoche being a mild exception being a free city and holding no loyalties save that to trade and wealth itself. The greater nations of the world Efros, Hoviel, Kestwa', Ost, and Asren having been in long standing uneasy truce all worked behind the scenes looking to amass power through varied means.

Efros, an dwarven Naval nation known for it's slavetrade and Deepstone.

Hoviel, a human kingdom not much is known about save their hatred for nearly all other races.

Kestwa' an elven nation that is open and does not look down upon other races their natural bonds to the magics around them in the elements having shaped their society. Their vast libraries and schools second only to Asren

Ost, considered a wild savage nation. However, they believe in a strict hierarchy and although rough around the edges have a clear respect for authority and strength. Consisting mostly of Giants, humans, orcs, and half breeds this nation although small seems to never find itself at war.

Asren, much like the free city of Apoche seems to be the least xenophobic of all nations. Tiefling, goblins, minotaurs and more all walk freely and openly in the streets. However they are best known for their large Academies and massive Libraries. But most people usually notice the Masonry First!

So very loose ideas that you can add to without much of an issue.

Your world and idea are interesting, if you are still looking for a group I would be willing to join. Do we need to apply with a CS? What are the limits and laws regarding magic? Is there things that are overall shunned? Like a race of beings, or religious group, or type of magic or weaponry?

Alright I would like to get a basic understanding of a character for sure but a long drawn out character sheet isn't exactly needed. As I would like to limit meta gaming and seeing as i have not heard from @Polybius in a few days a 1x1 is completely fine with me. The main focus for me is writing a collaborative tale, characters need not meet each other right away or could be directly opposed to each other. The general idea I have is one of sandbox character development so very few limiting factors.

In regards to the magic however anything DnD, Neverwinter, Forgottenrealms, Dragonlance, Pathfinder. Basically all spells and magic they offer are available difference being magic is a performance art in this world meaning it takes physical movement (dances, katas, hand signs, and the like) as well as actual words of power (songs, chants, etc) so magic is extremely visible unless one has trained for years to make it less so. The other limitation in this world go magic is really based around what nation or continent you are on example Hotel is an extremely pious human nation believing in their Gods. Which shun all other races and magic save divine magic.

Other places like Efros while not accepting of all people is tolerant of them as the understand they are the lunch pin of northern and large amounts of southern trade. So coin and influence gives them a bit more tolerance for other races and culture

Ost is less of a nation and more of a set of tribes within the large fudime black desert a seemingly desolate savage world few step foot in. And the respect strength above all.

So it is truly dependent on where a character is from. Over all somethings like raising the dead is shunned, creating life, constructs, black magic of those kind. Also there are other planes of existence which i have not even touched which although not shunned have a taboo to them and people who have traveled them are marked. However, many are sought after for those knowledge of these planes becAuse no many people have knowledge bout them not even within the Asren or Ketswa libraries.

Hope that answers somethings. I am looking for someone who is willing to help build and flesh out other parts of this world as well because i have the very loose bones of this all out. But other things not so much. So by all means you can take a character make them a nobleon a journey and within the story begin to explain the details of the governance of where they are from and the relationships they have to certain things.

Looks pretty sick man. I am liking the concept. I am guessing this shouldn't be to hard of a sale at all. I am happy with this one would you like me to toss out my character for you as well?

I'll make the RP thread as well. I think i'll leave it open to see if anyone else wants in for the next 24 hours or so then we can have at it.
