ANOTHER FUCKKEN FANTASY NRP

[Darkspleen]

Is that question directed towards me specifically or just everyone in the RP?

[Little Bill]

Bad News: Roleplayerguild is being weird for me, and I can't so much as open the Nations RP forum.

Good News: The final sheet is not that different from the preview. Until I figure out how to post the OOC, here's the sheet.

Nation Sheet

Nation Name

Flag goes here. I'd prefer something you made in MSpaint to something you made with the GOT Banner generator. The world is universally in the medieval/renaissance era, so don't come at me with that contemporary-ass detailed seal bullshit neither.

_{A concise summary of your nation goes here. What do you really want them to be known for? What is synonymous with their name? This should set the tone for other sections and how others will perceive your peoples. This is more of a stylistic choice than a technical one, so you don't have to go too crazy with details. In other words, make a tl;dr.}

Geography

Map

Choose a color and draw your borders on the map, preferably colors matching your flag so it doesn't get too confusing. Go ahead and use a zoomed in picture too, because once we all start posting on the CS tab, roleplayerguild might shit itself while trying to load a bunch of bigass high res maps. This section should include geography, weather, flora and fauna of your nation, as well as include the capital. Your geography should match your location on the map in relation to the equator and your distance from the sea. It bears mentioning that unnatural creatures like dire beasts and the like are allowed, though I will be picky about what can be tamed.

History

This should be more generally informative of the country's past and how it has affected their culture than a list of dead kings and globally inconsequential events. I encourage players to collaborate and create shared history.

Culture

Hoo boy. This section should be the largest, and cover as many facets of their culture you can think of. I don't just wanna know their clothes and religion, I want to know what their food is like, how other countries view them, what their view of death is, and so on. Do they use beds or rollout futons to conserve space? Do they bathe normally, or is regularly being submerged in water considered unhealthy? Are there foods associated with a holiday? Do they duel over honor or legal matters? You get the picture.

Military

Aside from the general "They have a lot of foot soldiers, a few mounted soldiers, and some archers" tell me how their military is different than any other military, and do it without listing any numbers. Do they ride something besides horses or sail something besides galleys? Do they make use of psychological, biological, or economic warfare? Do they take prisoners? Things like that. If this section includes some bullshit special group of a hundred that uses two swords because they went to sword college or something like that, see yourself to the door.

Economy

In the simplest terms, what do you import and export? Do you make a lot of things, or just one thing? Is your country in debt to another? Geography and culture will play a role here. Also, no country is self sufficient.

Relations

Don't just give me your trade relations you god damn minmaxer. Tell me what your peoples get called by racists, what your country's relation to the rest of the world is, what the popular image of your country is as a whole, etc.
That, and y'know, those trade relations.

Ruling House Name

I'm not doing the important crest thing from ASOIAF. If you want a picture here, Make it a fancy font or their castle or something.

House History

This can start with some dude so long ago people don't think he's real, or it can start with your current monarch's birth. All I really wanna know is the recent history.

House Members

A list of the people in your country's royal family, starting with the king and ending with the youngest heir.

House Specialty

If you were waiting for a section to put a weirdly specific strength, this is it. Houses can have military traditions and thus focus on making their heirs study tactics, or have artistic traditions, or have their strength not be related to a tradition at all. Maybe they have a really cool boat. Maybe they breed weird animals. Anyway, feel free to lean on the fantasy tagline here a little and use your imagination.

Eastern continent is Lyria, Western continent is Sikth, the English language is Common, there are two moons.
That about covers the base worldbuilding.

[Darkspleen]

I'm having the same issue. Guild has been acting very strangely for the past few days.

[Gowi]

I mean, Dead could always edit the map and adjust our claims if we have open space.

Also, my claim on the big map is still not've been adjusted to my recent revision.

[POOHEAD189]

I aint running away from no one. I just want my mercantile empire.

[Mao Mao]

Yeah, I don't like the ideal of someone being a colonial power so soon in the game.

[Red Wizard]

Well, since nobody seems to want my original claim, and since I've dreamed up a new idea for a nation, consider me back in the game! NS incoming in aprox 24 hours.

[Monkeypants]

And ill be keeping the big island to the south as well as the part of the mainland right west of it. That should be reasonable as the distance isn't as far between the two.

Everything else is "axed" lol.

Ok??

Nation Sheet (WIP)

Hrim

_{Hrim, known to some as the land of giants, is a kingdom located in the northernmost reaches of Lyria, where the arctic wind blows. The people here are known for their sturdiness, but also for their size; they grow taller than most of their southern kin, hence earning them their nickname “giants”. In the center of the kingdom lies a great lake, in which the volcano Surtr can be found. The volcano is sacred to the Hrimings, who believe it to be the home of a vengeful god.}

doublepost bs due to application error

[ethanjory]

I can't access the Nation RP forums (and many of the other forums) without getting an application error either. If a solution isn't forthcoming, then a workaround may be necessary.

@ethanjory

Keep hitting the send/refresh button until the page loads properly. That's the only way it works for me.

[Darkspleen]

Same. I just keep a tab open to the RP itself, which helps limit some issues. Might I suggest we set up a chatroom so we can communicate even if guild goes into a coma for the evening?

[Willy Vereb]

discord.gg/Tj8DxYk
How about a Discord chatroom?
Admittedly this is my first time doing this on Discord but we only need a shared place to post into, right?
This should work.

[6slyboy6]

Soooooo, whats this gem 'ere?

[Willy Vereb]

Soooooo, whats this gem 'ere?

@6slyboy6

Low fantasy game, barely any magic, only humans, fantastical creatures are allowed if they can be explained reasonably, totally not an ASoIaF clone.

[Monkeypants]

Discord doesn't work on my phone so I wont be in that chat.

But I've figured out what's been going on with guild.

It was so obvious!

[Little Bill]

Everyone's claim was real small, so I tweaked them. If anyone has any problems with their claim, let me know. Olive's mine!

Hider

[Tortoise]

I have to leave this RP. I'm very sorry.

[Gowi]

Aw.
