It's 1492. Which Italian city-state do you side with?

a topic in Interest Checks, a part of the RPG forum.

Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!
Just doing an interest check for history enthusiasts or those who have the zeal for a good story and learn quickly!

The originator of this idea, @Ragnarök, and I are envisioning a group game based on a critical juncture in Southern European history. It's 1494, the Italian city-states are on the verge of major conflict even as the Ottoman Empire makes its move to the east. Will the Italians descend into localized warfare, or band together to stave off the Ottoman and Spanish threats?

I will say that this story likely best fits advanced and literate roleplayers with more or less intellectual curiosity paired with open, creative minds. Or, if you're hoping to venture into new territory and challenge yourself as a writer, you might be a great match for this idea.

Oh—and here's a map, for reference's sake.

Please note: At this point, the republics of both Venice and Florence have been claimed.

I'll take the Papal state if that'll work.

I would be very much interested in this.

Will it be played as macro-actions on a state-level, with a kind of meta perspective? Or do we play it as the rulers and characters on top, dictating the state and it's affairs?

Hi, there! Let me get back to you with some questions, depending on when I can catch our co-collaborator. My inclination is to have creative freedom with certain cultural/historical conditions set, but that's just me! I'll get back with you.
