Forums / Roleplaying / Work In Progress

Alright, despite being very busy(and inactive) I have been working on a large RP(I have low expectations still) that I hope will be one of my best(that will stay active and I will maintain interest in).  My inspiration? Well, you can make guesses.  I don't feel like saying anything atm :)  I will make a world map, I will work on races, classes, maybe a magic system(to be decided).  But first...I want to know what races people would be interested in being in this RP.  It will be set in a medieval time period.  If you suggest a race, tell me how you would want it to be.  For example.

Charley - I want elves to be the more powerful mages and archers.
or
Charley - I want dwarves to be the strongest melee fighters and have a natural resistance to magic, but that also means they cannot be mages no matter what.
or
Charley - I want humans to be the balanced race that can be anything, but can be beaten by another race that specializes entirely on something. 

I may include some kind of stats(very simple) but this is still in the very early stages.  There will be a main storyline planned...meaning, less doing mindless repetitive stuff(I hope!). 

I am open to suggestions. 

Keywords:
Templar, Archon, Navir, Pilate

Meant to make you curious.  The words do not(hopefully) have any relation to their literal meaning.  Hoping to mess with them :)

Sounds like a plan Charley!

     This will most likely be my summer project.  At this current time, however, I am a tad busy with classes(that end tuesday).  I then get a few days off to study, then I have final exams until the 5th.  After that, I would probably need a few days to settle back in at home and then work on a simplish map(I tend to end up taking days detailing and putting lots of effort into my maps). 

Sorry Samual, I would have to recommend Mirror/Erunion, Septim/Cidellus, or one of the other RPers on this forum right now.  I wouldn't have the time to properly help you out.

Sounds pretty awesome (Y)

After using editions of an old map + a new continent(work in progress), I now have version 3 of my map.  Several RL friends of mine have expressed interest in doing an RP together, which may end up with there being 2 RPs.  One here, one elsewhere on a private site.  Unsure 100% how this will turn out.  Still working on the map.  I estimate it is 25% complete.

Just wondering... Why not get your RL friends to RP on this site for just this once? Would mean we have more people and maybe get a new player or two ;)

Grrr, I just wrote a reply to everyone but VU f*cking logged me out when I posted. 

@Erunion - Map is only 25% done, I use different shades of green, brown, and grey to show elevation changes(hills, shallow valleys, etc).  I don't have an overall planetary outline that will make it super-realistic.  I am aiming for a nice world that has a little bit of each type of environment, not realism.  I have not done the arctic areas yet since those are difficult to do.  Snow and desert areas are hard since they don't really have a lot of detail unless you do mountains, and I have worked on mountains a lot and found that making lots of them does not look very good on the map.  I am taking this one step at a time.  Adding too much detail at times can make things very congested.

@Wraith - I thought of doing it here or on my private website, but we may just make a private Wiki that we can just work on together.  It would give us all admin abilities.  I am still discussing things with them and only met two of the people I plan on writing with.

@Septim - I use my touchpad for all map-making.  I found that simply randomly moving my fingers across my touchpad give a more random look to my continents.  I don't always get it the way I want on the first try, but I work with things as best as I can.  I also try to avoid Earth-like features like the Italian boot, which I used to have before I edited it and changed it into a large peninsula with no boot shape.

As always, thanks for input.  This is a work in progress.

Things noted:  Make hills and shallower areas more obvious to see.  More details(Steppes, savannas, etc) to larger continent.  Add arctic area.  Try and add more mountains(will see how that looks). 

EDIT - VU did it to me again, but luckily I copied my post before clicking the post button and saved it :D

GIMP.  I used to have Photoshop, but then I got a new computer and it wouldn't transfer to my laptop.
