Current No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style.

Arguing over petty details at times of dimensional emergency was a familiar wizardly trait.

A wizard never had friends, at least not friends who were wizards. It needed a different word. Ah yes, that was it. Enemies. But a very different class of enemies. Gentlemen.

Welcome to The Dark Ages

ALWAYS OPEN!



The year is 1350, and Europe is currently experiencing the infamous dark ages. The Black Death is ravaging the land, decimating people across the continent. War is raging both in and between nations. People everywhere are losing faith and hope, wondering where the love of God has gone. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the forces of darkness are more real than ever.

This game is set in an alternate reality, where much (if not all) of the superstitions people had back then are true. Europe is riddled with vampires, witches, werewolves and all the other servants of Satan. It’s a time and place where the night belongs to other beings than man, where the uncharted wilderness has masters of its own.

You will take on the roles of villains, heroes and the people in between. It’s an open-world kind of game where you make your own fate, make your own adventure. There will be no red line, no glorious quest for the salvation of mankind – just the stories of the people living in these wretched times.

So take your place in the annals of history. Go forth and live out your goals, good or evil. Just remember that the night is dark… and full of terrors.
When creating your character, feel free to use your imagination, but don’t overdo it. Save the all-powerful harbingers of doom to another game. You are allowed to play as more than one character at a time, just keep it focused. We don’t need the confusion that too many characters can bring. Be nice to each other when playing, and discuss things in the OOC before doing something drastic. This isn’t a competition; it’s a collective creative process. Finally, fill out the Character Sheet for each of your characters and wait until it’s been accepted before posting in the IC.

Feel free to ask if you’ve got any questions about the game.

Very interested! Would like to know how you would handle magic in this RP. Will it be a low magic setting with magic only through like magic weapons and artifacts (closer to the realistic side of things) or will players be able to make spellcasting characters (closer to straight up fantasy)?I'm not interested in a magic based character myself, but I'm still curious. Looks very promising, I hope this gets more popular!


A combination of both, I think. More powerful magic is bound in items, but "simple" spellcasting is also possible.

This may be a silly question, do you have a plot thought out?


Not really, no. This'll be a sandbox kind of game. My character will have a quest of sorts, but you don't have to follow it.

Fuck it I'm abandoning this.

Just a lurker here. There are a lot of similar scales in the NS. The government scales are varied enough, but all the values in the Economy and Society scales seem to be very similar. Care to elaborate?Also, how is combat going to work? I know this is just the interest check, but there are very few details provided here. Nothing on recruitment, how much you can have, what it will cost, etc. Just curious, is all.


I don't agree with you. Just because a nation embraces communism doesn't mean that the people living there are economically equal (just look at the various communist states of today). As another example, you could have a conservative, closed nation which is tolerant of other nations and cultures (as long as they stay away).

A simple system for warfare will show up with the OOC.
This is what the NS will look like. I might have borrowed it from another NRP :)

Absolutely!

I'm also interested. Not only that, I'd like to offer to make up the world map for the RP unless you'd rather handle that.


That sounds awesome! You're welcome to do that!
