Ha, past me thought eight months too long to go without a status update. Now it has been ten! Anyways, I've D&D things to work on, so I'll get back to that.

Mercy it's been eight months since my last status, perhaps it is time to find a RP and get a spot more active for awhile.

Just finished Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. It's always such a bittersweet feeling to finish a show, more so a good one.

Welp, it's my 20th Birthday. Starting the day properly with a stupidly big bowl of cereal and latter there shall be porkchops!
Hmm, I wanted to run a support division, in fact I had designed one almost entirely, but it would seem that we now have quite a few support divisions, perhaps it would be wiser for me to make an infantry or armor force instead. Hmm...
Sudden question comes to mind, do these tiny people need to eat? Do hobby stores sell tiny rations for the tiny people? Can one make a pot of soup and feed their entire tiny legion? Also, do these tiny people need to sleep? Would one need to build a tiny barracks in their closet to house their tiny army? I realize that just calling them tiny people may actually be insulting, my pardon I just rather fancy the term tiny people to describe these inch tall living human-like entities. If one wishes I'll stop calling them tiny people and just call them MockZ.
I'm thinking about all this, I'm dedicating some time right now to consider army makeup, and doctrines, and I am suddenly very hyped. But what kind of force should I throw together? They will be dressed up as Boros soldiers from MTG, so heavy infantry, perhaps with plenty of airdrops and what-not might work, but I love the orchestra of a dozen or more artillery pieces playing in tandem, I enjoy playing like an Imperial Fist and just turtling to victory, but the Legion doesn't work that way hmm... If nobody else has any such intent, methinks I'll put together a force consisting nearly entirely of artillery, HMGs, and engineers. Hmm...
So I've a few questions regarding the setting if you don't mind. The first will be regarding the customization of the soldiers. These troops can be made to look wildly different while still having the same 'stats', but my question is to how different? For instance, could one tailor their militia unit to look like a horde of small arms totting zombies? Or goblins? Or constructs made of sand? Or are they restricted to being human in appearance? I also feel I must inquire towards replacing these tiny living miniatures. Normally these things are made of plastic and metal and what-not, and when defeated are moved off the board with ease, but these are tiny living people, being shot at by other tiny living people, logically if they go down and don't receive aid they die, so what happens when a unit goes down? Do they respawn after the battle? Do you have to pop by the local nerd store to buy a new unit? While I am on the subject of tiny living people, they are ageless tiny soldiers with intelligence and what-not, so can they learn? Can they gain their own personality, become better at combat, learn tactics, or even just how to cook? Do they come out of the box with installed personalities and skill sets that are incapable of being altered? Can they make friends with other tiny soldiers, or with their owner?
Those are the main questions that come to mind, my pardon for the small wall of text but even if the setting doesn't need to make sense I feel like these questions would be helpful to address, though of course I could be wrong.
I can't deny interest, but at the same time I'm already GMing a RP of my own and am not very good at dividing my attention. Hmm... I suppose this is a matter I must think on, even if I don't partake I'd enjoy crafting a division for the sake of it so I'll keep my eye on this.
As of this writing we have ten active, accepted players with a few more on the way. There are nation sheets for reference, and my personal method of deal with the character limit is to write my posts in a google doc, then copy paste singular paragraphs, posting each one on it's own in quick succession. I'm sure there are other methods as well but that is the one I use.
Hello there, how is your day going? Assuming you haven't answered with 'terrible' than that is good to hear, but now that the pleasantries are out of the way I suppose I need tell you about this roleplay I'm hosting.
As the name implies, Raiuum is a nation roleplay. As the name also states it will be taking place over Discord. This will be a fairly relaxed and slow nation RP, with things being only as complex as detailed as you fine lot decide it to be.
Anyways, I should say something of the plot shouldn't I. Setting rather, of course most of the plot is on the shoulder's of you fine folk, but digressing aside. In the land of Raiuum many nations exist. They are of all races, mindsets, and ideologies. However one thing binds most of them, and that is the conflict between the Empire and the Brotherhood. Nearly all the land's nations claim allegiance to one of the two large states and while the last decade has been a time of peace, conflict is on the horizon.
The Brotherhood Of Nations is a coalition of civilized nations that have agreed to work together towards keeping their part of the world safe from external threats and internal politics relatively controlled and peaceful. While internal conflict still exists, the other nations possess the ability to step in and put an end to it...an event that may be unfavorable for the participants, and encourages quarrels to be settled peacefully. Overall, their mission statement is the embracing of differences and the individual to better the whole. Existing examples of these motifs include: the United Nations, the Alliance Of Azeroth, and the Five Wizards Of Middle Earth. The underlying traits of the Brotherhood are: Freedom, Honor, Diplomacy, Difference, Equality, Individualism, and Helping Each other.
The Empire Vitiuum is a large collection of fiefs and states that answer to a single emperor. The individual on the throne directs the empire, but the ruling house that sits upon that throne is prone to change. While none fail to pay lip service to the line of succession, it is considered the nation’s duty to make sure the most fit to rule controls the Empire. Their intent is to fulfill the great crusade charged upon them by Behevron, of ordering the world and bringing it under a single unified system. Other beliefs, governing systems, and differences are embraced so long as they fit within the grand puzzle of the Empire. Their mission statement is to forge a stable system to last forever. Existing bases for the Empire include: the Holy Roman Empire, the Horde Of Azeroth, the Seven Kingdoms Of Westeros, the following Of Denarys Targaryen to conquer Westeros, and the Seven Reigns of the Kanes. Underlying concepts: Order, Duty, Strength, the Best to rule, Divine plan, Manifest destiny, Rule Of Law, Militant Evangelism.
Those were written by my second in command in case you were curious. Anyways, what else do I need to say at this point? No, seriously, what do I say now? Eh it hardly matters, I'm sure you've enough information to decide to pop your head in or not at the least. If you've any questions I'd be willing to answer them of course, either here or in the discord itself.
Oh, and I suppose you'll all need a link to the discord server as well, I nearly forgot. discord.gg/sbetFmZ There you go, that should get you in. Now then, I hope to see you there, or failing that, I hope for you a good day at the very least.

Man, the number of OOC posts and IC posts is the same number, and now I'm going to ruin that harmony. Oh well, such is life. Anyways, I can't say I really have overmuch time to invest in this RP right now, so as much as it pains me I'm going to have to back out right now. I have no idea if I'll have time in the future or not, so I would prefer if Greggory was shoved into a corner away from the plot, but regardless. My pardon for any and all inconvenience this causes.
