The Chronicles of Irenaea [Always Open] [Historiograhy-Based] [Low-Commital]

I won't promise active participation in this thread until I've gotten all my other RP stuff under control, but I wanted to drop by and let you know that this thread is fantastic and its quality hasn't gone unnoticed. I particularly love the mechanics you're using to enforce an historical tone within the IC prose.

You've probably alienated a lot of roleplayers by demanding that their writing actually be...you know, good...but I hope this is a huge success nonetheless.

@Andreyich No worries, I'm happy being an option when things clear up.

Yo, thanks for the URL. Here's mine in kind.

I removed a Post-Apocalyptic RP prompt (more in the vein of Stalker than Fallout) because for a brief time, it was a public Casual thread. But since that's dead I'll probably revive it as a 1x1 prompt. It'd look something like this:

Cyanide Suns

Outside of the containment zone, life continues as it always does. Cars line the streets, pedestrians the sidewalks; people go to work, eat at local restaurants, and lounge in air-conditioned living rooms, in front of working TVs.

But inside——inside...

Ever since the bombs dropped, the world has wondered what the zone looks like. Only the stalkers know, the thieves, killers, and treasure-hunters who hop the barbwire border for their own profit—money, freedom, a fresh start. But {Character A} is resolved to change that. He's a photographer. His images will rattle the outside world with their stark poignancy, and bring him riches and fame in the process. As long as he can get in, snap the shots, and get out, all while keeping himself in one piece.

That's where {B} comes in. {A} has hired the veteran stalker as a guide and bodyguard. But will the two manage to finish the job with their bodies, and their minds, intact?

Yeah, something like that.

Other than that, I don't know much about the Crusades (Northern nor eastern). I know quite a lot about Vikings and the Dark Ages in general, though, so I've got some areas of historical expertise, but I'm excited to try anything.

You'll see from my Fantasy prompts that I like a lot of the same themes you do, as a bonus.

Keep in touch and here's a free bump. ✌

You can bump your own thread, dude. If you'd please stop @ing me in an attempt to drag me back into the argument, I'd really appreciate it.

What season are we in, too? Month? (She's a forager and a gardener, so I need to know what kinds of herbs and vegetables she's eating this time of year ;))

End + Sleep

@Oddsbod I was hoping for, like, the names of the days of the week, the names of the months, that sort of thing. But all that worldbuilding is cool too, thanks! :P

@oddsbod Hey dude, I've just started on the history and I've decided to present it in an epistolary format. So I need to know what the calendar looks like, day, month, and season-wise, for some sort of diary entry. Thanks.

End + Sleep

I’ll be considering sheets in the order I receive them (but to be perfectly honest I’m a huge softy who is just absolutely over the moon anyone is paying attention to my work, and will likely let in significantly more people than I should).

@Oddsbod

@Iuniper Hurry up dude :P

So the fewer categories you select from, the more efficiently your 7 points can be spent 🤔

All right, I'll survive, I guess

End + Sleep

Honestly having some Mighty spells be 3 or 4 points (depending on potency) would be a saving grace for my planning abilities right now. That Grisly Trophy is a real resource hog, and I dunno that my idea is all too powerful compared to your example.

I asked this in our Discord chat but it may be worth repeating here, just in case it'll help someone else: "do I understand correctly that once we've selected a category of magic to 'belong' to, any spells which we know outside of this category cost one point extra to know?"
