Numenera: Stars of Glass (New Players Welcome)

@Mortalya I'm interested, I'm not familiar with the system but I'm more than willing to learn.

Well I'm sold👍🏻

@Sudkurve

Doubly fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing your character sheet!

This has perked my interest.

What kind of state is the world in? Is it all deserts like Mad Max or is it more like Fallout where buildings remain albeit overgrown with vegetation and people trying to start fresh?

@Sudkurve

Fantastic! At this rate, we'll have enough people to start the game in no time! I'm not being sarcastic about that either. Little over 99% of the world has either too little water, or too much, as such, the terrain varies wildly, and due to the lingering effects of the apocalypse, it tends to be quite inhospitable to life in general, from barren wasteland, and polluted hellscapes, all the way to acidic swamps and mutated jungles, and everything in between.

Fertile, unpolluted, or "clean" land is highly valuable, sought after, and fought over, changing hands frequently, often within mere months. The mindset of people varies from faction to faction, and even settlement to settlement, though there exists a general idea that those still living are heirs to what's left of the earth. The concept has spurred what could be described as a Second Manifest Destiny, and there's a general sense of conquest, expansion, and settlement. Of course, the world is still very much untamed, and the mutant tribes and pseudo-human clans don't tend to take kindly to outsiders.

Time of Contempt (Worldbuilding/interest)

@Verse Zero I think I'm in the minority here, but I have a deep and abiding love for infodumps and yours has caught my attention. Believe it or not, I'm actually in the process of developing my own Post-American pseudo-fantasy setting, although it's a bit closer to the renaissance than the dark ages technologically, and a Crusader Kings-esque medieval strategy/intrigue roleplay seems like a fascinating concept. How can I join in?

@Kho Sorry to double-post, but here's a wikipedia link in case you wanted to do some more reading on it, I don't know how to hyperlink in this forum, so I'll just post in what I assume is the hyperlink function, and beneath is an image for reference.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Kho You're welcome! You're double-jointed? That might be the reason you're clicking, my father used to have severe arthritis from decades of habitually cracking his knuckles until he spent two months daily imbibing a home remedy my grandfather, (his father, not the friend of the friend who shared your troubles) recommended him, a single frozen poke salad berry a day with a shot of whisky. Poke salad berries grow in my region during the springtime, and many older folks use them to handle cramps, and joint-locks, that sort of thing. I doubt you've got arthritis in your ribcage, and I further doubt poke salad berries are common where you live, but that reminded me of it. Most home remedies are hogwash, but some really do work.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

I like to think I'm doing well today, but really weird parts of my body keep clicking. Like, when I stretch my ribs click, and when I move my neck my neck clicks, and my elbows too. I hold Jvan fully responsible for this development.

@Kho

Recent lurker dripping with a bit of advice, years ago, a close friend of my grandfather had the same issue and his doctor told him to resolve it with stretching exercises, and a few months after he started stretching as often as possible, the clicking became less and less frequent until it disappeared entirely. There's a myriad of reasons your joints might be clicking, and my grandfather's friend's joints might have had a completely different reason for clicking, but all the same, it couldn't hurt to look into calisthenics.

@Ardent Debater Bumping a thread is not against forum etiquette :)

You should really give more details about the world (how, why, when etc) if you want to attract people. I personally am not interested but the name of the RP made me curious about the setting.

@Timemaster

Thanks for the advice, as for the setting, it's set in an alternate earth, roughly three centuries into the future, after the collapse of post-modern society. I have a vague timeline and idea of how things came to be the way they are, but I was planning to slowly unveil it to the players as time goes on, and until they pieced it together, they'd have only crumbling ruins and often contradictory myths to go on.

Color me interested!

@DangDude

Excellent, all you have to do is fill out the template and post.

I don't know if bumping a thread is against forum etiquette, if so, I'd like to apologize beforehand. Bump.
