I know its a little late for me to reference this but....

Why even write this.. I mean, why not just say "hey, is there still room?" Rather than just go in assuming failure and also imply that you may not stick around by saying " probably don't have time for this anyway."

Why waste our time and yours if you have a high degree of confidence that you won't have time now or have time in the future, causing you to leave..

I mean... Why. :/

Anyway, I've made progress on my sheet. Not sure how much longer it will take though.

Fleshing out lore takes a while!!!!

I wasn't feeling very cheery at the time so I wrote that instead of something like "Can I join :)"
I probably will have enough time. :) I promise to be more cheery and optimistic from now on :P.
Also @Alfhedil Do you mind if I have an adapted race of humans that can work near your great forest? I know it's poisonous but they wouldn't be entering it just working on the border, cutting down trees. It's fine if you don't want me tampering with it.

Titanic, you can always just place a non-toxic forest in whichever open area you please and put your city there.

@The Nexerus
That's not the point. :/ I'm trying to RP an isolated poor people that struggle with life and have to constantly work hard or there would be no future for them or their children. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as just wanting the area for no specific reason, I'm just trying to create an interesting situation for myself to RP in.

Start up a PM with me on your idea, and we can work something out. I do have some things I'll need to clarify on the forest itself, but I'm sure something amenable can be worked out :)

@GreivousKhan

Right but my point was why are you explaining the currency in terms of an exchange rate with an outside currency?

Archaic currency is best described in terms of itself! Least I think so. How does the below work for you?

Farthing: Lowest denomination

Halfshield: five farthings

Shield: two halves/ten farthings

Groat: five shields/ten halves/fifty farthings

Tower: two groats/ten shields/twenty halves/one hundred farthings

Blood: five towers/ten groats/fifty shields/ one hundred halves/five hundred farthings

Lily: two bloods/ten towers/twenty groats/one hundred shields/two hundred halves/thousand farthings

Eye: five lillies/ten bloods/fifty towers/one hundred groats/five hundred shields/one thousand halves/five thousand farthings

Dragon: ten thousand farthings

So I have created a few more races, most of which will be tribal factions that make up the majority of the NPC orcs/goblins/marauders of the setting.



Also updated map(the real one):

Hey @Flagg, as a general question: When might the IC be starting?

All the behind the scenes collaboration and history building is great, don't get me wrong. The stuff everyone has worked on together is phenomenal. At the same time though, we probably should not forget the lesson of War of Seven Suns and Interstellar: Ascension. If we keep driving this RP from the backseat, it is going to stop before it starts.

This isn't a call to start the RP immediately, but setting a start date just so everyone knows what to aim for would be handy. Something you can put in the title, maybe.

What does everyone else think?

As the GM of the latter RP, I couldn't attest to this more. It may feel like we don't have everything figured out but there's plenty time while still RPing to add stuff. I agree with Term that solid start dates work well. May I suggest this weekend or perhaps monday?

@Terminal & @Darkmatter

Thank you for the suggestions. I intend to start the IC tomorrow, and the IC can proceed as people continue to collaborate and work on their NSes. This has taken me a bit longer than I anticipated because I did not expect the phenomenal turn out this RP has received.

Can someone post a link to that application with the map? Roll20 or whatever it's called. Don't know why there isn't already a link posted here.
