Serious fantasy RP, anyone?

Topic Tags:

Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!

Would you go for long, well thought-out fantasy roleplay?

I'd been looking for one, sure!

Serious fantasy RP, anyone? ( )

Postby Safisan on Mon Apr 20, 2009 9:58 pm

Hi, hi! I no longer bear several ideas, but rather one: a massive, extended world of epic proportions! Yes indeed, now I do have the majority of it thought out, do not worry about a plot or about inserting your own, it'll be allowed. For the meantime, I'd like to keep an initial roleplay to introduce some players into the world, a beta test, if you will. During this first roleplay, it'd go somewhere along the lines of...

A wandering mercenary band. Yes, indeed. For various reason (be they political, economical, and/or etcetera.) the characters will find themselves leaving home and joining one another in a town, where they are hired as sellswords for a tiny army the country's king requires. Following an invasion to an opposing kingdom to colonize, the party will find itself a myriad of odd characters: mages, fencers, knights, even merchants and plain ol' civilians! Now, from a personal point of view, I'd prefer avoiding other species (read: elves and dwarves), but if people want them, then by all means.

Now take in mind this is merely an introduction, it's just to get some characters to bond together and form an initial band, whereas in continuing roleplays we'd be seeing the entire world, encountering other bands and the like. (All that too, is planned.)

Does the idea appeal to you? Need some more info? Questions? Comments? Please, leave a post with your opinion!

Thank the Roleplay Gods :D

I've been looking for an Epic Sized fantasy roleplay, but I've been a little cautious to make one myself. You can definately count me in!


For a character I was thinking of a Mage. I luff meh magic. I'm not sure on a race, though...

I would like too but I will have to see.
The writer who cares more about words than about characters, action, setting, atmosphere is unlikely to create a vivid and continuous dream; he gets in his own way too much; in his poetic drunkenness, he can't tell the cart- and its cargo- from the horse.

This is perfect! I will get to making an OOC and put up a link (or edit it in if no replies are made) later today. Now for you skeptics (Skallagrim, heehee) this is merely to introduce the world and the whole vibe that'll be going on. Thanks for showing interest, guys. I'll do my best!

Edit: here you are! My debt is as promised. http://www.roleplaygateway.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=21013

No I meant I'd have to see how much time I would have to devout to this RP once the site changes go into effect. I may be busy helping new people get hang of the site, answering questions etc. I will try and get a character up when I can later this week.

Ummm... For those who haven't seen the OOC, it was posted already. Just wanted to mention (in case you haven't seen it, before you do) that there will be no fantasy species for the time being, though I've kindly hinted at them for future reference...
