I see you.

I mean, I've never participated in a nation's role play before (and as such dont know how they worm) but I guess you gotta start somewhere. This has piqued my interest, so put me down as a maube

[Jolteon]

Even though I've been trying to set my own rp in motion, I could be interested in this. It mostly depends on the mechanics of the rp. Are we going for no stats or heavy stats or what?

[MojaveCourier]

@Jolteon Wow. Haven't even started this yet and I'm already slightly confused. What have stats got to do with this?

[Jolteon]

@MojaveCourier Its difficult to explain, but basically an rp with a lot of stats would keep track of military numbers, resources, internal politics, etc. The opposite of that is to not have a lot of numbers and focus more on story telling. Does that make sense?

[MojaveCourier]

So basically Risk? Lol Risk, crossed with a resource management game to put it simply?

[Jolteon]

@MojaveCourier Not at all like Risk. Extremely, extremely different. Take a look around at other Rps to get an idea of how they are.

[FrostedCaramel]

I'll keep a watch on this.

@duck55223 I have a few maps for you to take a look at:

Map 1

Map 2

Map 3

Map 4

@duck55223 Well, I have a few suggestions. The first would be to only use 3 or 4 continents on Map 3(AKA, cropping a lot of the picture so the continents and oceans become larger).

Map 5

Map 6

And thats it. I don't think I can find any more maps thats work for this. Hope one of these options looks good to you.

[Alfhedil]

Personally not entirely sold on any of the maps except maybe that second one.

No stats. While I expect there to be wars, the focus should be on story-telling, not winning a game.

<Snipped quote by MojaveCourier>

While there are more tabletop-centric NRPs with stats where you play a RP version of Civ 5, this concept isn't one of them. The focus for this will be on story-telling.

@duck55223

Hmm I was interested as I like the time period and such. But most NRPs I feel need some stats or baseline things to keep track of like armies, ships and resources. I mean that's what the whole idea of colonization is.

[Jolteon]

Well I'm behind you on having no stats.

As for those maps, well I dug around for all of the maps that would fit for this, and I don't want to spend another hour looking for more. I hope we can all agree on using one of those, unless someone else finds some more.

I personally like the 6th one. It looks tiny but if you open it in a new tab its a giant map.

@Alfhedil The GM wanted a map that was different than the ones in my first map post, so I don't think we're going to use that one.

No stats!

Not really an Earth map, but this thing is good: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/

I'd also be interested!

This map is always a good one, good old Kerbin.
