I only know that there was a Samnites and they got conquered and Carthage marched elephants across the alps and the Romans played hide and seek with him.

Than something about a roman who held his hand over fire and didn't even flinch much to the shock of that Etruscan.

I think I may need to refresh myself before going in. Its been a while since i've read up on romans. Like 8-9 months ago.

My memory sucks.

Pretty much with the Calvary. I recall seeing a Alt history where that's pretty much what happened since they'll need that Calvary.

But I just am going by what I want and not reality. I heard fantasy RP with Romans in the OP and I get all this historical accuracy stuff. It seems there's always more to learn with history and all this research will drive me crazy since I am horrible at research. All this realism make me wonder how obsessive the Info on the two hundred years between the PoD and now is going to be.

I just wanted to go stabbing barbarians with a gladius and drink some wine.

But I get this.

Whoa romans really did advance quickly in those 150 years.

But look at this:
google.com/search?q=roman+legionnaire&..

See? I typed in roman legionnaire and got proper Romans. What fabricated sources you get your byzantine fluffery with peacock feather wearing kings that look like they're from the year 11000, not the year 600 I do not know.

Village, those decadents are byzantine. Not roman.

Romans had mono-colored marble statues and only red capes. ONLY RED CAPES.

Well, no, not really. The Empire survives, but society and technology still changes.

EDIT: To elaborate - Roman military strategy would change to meet the standards of whatever era it survives in. And with former barbarians (and conquered peoples) assimilated into the Empire, you'd be looking at a very multicultural, and multilingual empire that only distantly identifies as Roman.

I hope you get decimated for thinking the romans would just abandon their formations and latin like that. They didn't for the last 600 years, why now? Sure the shield designs and politics change, sure some modifications to strategy to deal with new threats, but radical changes in how the roman army structured itself I don't recall being a thing. The romans were a pretty traditionalist society and this RP only takes place in the year 600. Romans will be quite christian, but other than maybe switching out red shields for lavender ones and bringing Calvary into the mix, I don't really see them changing too much in regards to military.

Barbarians are made civilized pepper, not emulated.

Near future RP I have interest to some degree in, but not enough to participate. I don't have the time to play more than 1 or 2 RPs really.

Space RP I already am part of. Really, anyone who wants a space RP should just play the one that's gaining the most players and not make more space NRPs. Don't know why that one guy made that andromeda RP. Aaron, consider True Vacuum. Yeah it's not in a galaxy but once you get past that it's pretty vanilla space adventuring.

Roman Empire surviving to see its thousandth anniversary (and I mean the real empire, not those eastern cooks) with Muslim invasions? I can already imagine the marble and wine my villa will be flowing in! Like others have said, it's the most interesting of the bunch if only because I get to march in formation with big red shields and shout in Latin.

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

Is earth in this RP a fractal earth (I.e there can be multiple "earths" because I dunno, humans as spesial and multiple realities of sol-based human civs got scattered in this universe or something)?

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

My app's effectively finished despite not filling out two sections. I'll fill them out later if I need to. I just wanted to elaborate on tech since I know other people may need to reference that section and it's important to know what tech is being used, at least from a general standpoint.

IC posting is okay?

Moriarty. Classy evil is best evil.

Would you rather be stuck in a RP where everyone kept powerplaying or a RP where everyone's character is a boring, anti-social shut out?
