Fantasy/Adventure Roleplay

What do you mean when you say "fluff" because it sounds like you're talking about things that would be inconsequential.

[Ollumhammersong]

yes, yes I am. Because its the larger details that grab attention and the little ones that keep attention. Every fantasy world you know of that is considered amazingly awesome is because they mixed focus of large and small details. Yes things were inconsequential and they certainly could have gotten by fine without them. but they put them in anyway, and its why people love them.

But I'm not writing a whole book myself. I'm doing a roleplay. Plus most of that has never been established. You may be thinking "why don't I establish it now?". Well... it's due to the nature of the setting really. Not the one that will be played, but in general. It was made my me and a couple friends, and I never got insight into more things.

[Ollumhammersong]

no one is asking for a novel. But they are asking for more than the bare bones for details.

[tobiax]

That's not what I meant.
Well if anyone wants to ask for details they can, and I kind of expect them to if they want to...

[Ollumhammersong]

but we have asked for them.

[tobiax]

No, no one asked for any specific information. Like "What is" ect.

Perhaps if you put more details and explanation as to what this RP is about instead of just "It's about cultures built around elements. Oh and it's medieval, fantasy, with armies and monsters"Explain what these cultures are. Are they advanced or primitive? How do you display politics in your RP (since there are armies and leaders)? What are the defining characteristics of each element, and how do the people under respective elements behave?You can't expect people to declare interest over something they don't know that much about. I'm not bashing you or anything. I'm just saying that some more information about the RP is needed for people to decide if it's interesting or not. Fantasy and Elements are so common and cliche that you need to put an original spin on it so it doesn't get boring, .
