World Building Group Thread (our RP name is a WIP) [OOC]

We could add a Volcanic wasteland between the mountains and the swamps if that works for your tribal faction.

Also, a question on the Medieval setting are we looking at multiple separate kingdoms or is the entire planet going to be a fractured kingdom of noble houses (If anyone's played SWTOR think Alderaan). Either or works for me though it sounds like the former might be better suited to worldbuilding?
 
I think I would prefer to atleast have other, smaller kingdoms outside of the main one, if not multiple kingdoms. Having one kingdom is good, and perhaps we should have a 'main' kingdom we focus on with all our races and such, but I would still enjoy the option of coming up with other, smaller kingdoms too.
 
Sorry for the double post, forgot to mention a couple things that I really need to ping you all on! Firstly; do we want any more limitations to races? I personally don't, beyond what we already have, but I wanted to be clear on what we are coming up with. Like, are they're going to be any staple creatures? (Dwarves, Elves, Orcs?)

Secondly, Do we feel like we can fit another player? Enki posted to the bulletin board post and I meant to get back with him then I got busy. I wanted your opinion if you guys thought adding another would be a good idea. Frankly if we all play together on the same thread and I was the GM adding a ninth player would put the thread out of my range, I'd need help most likely. Others might could handle it, though, what do you all think?
 
I don't really mind about limitations, as long as we're allowed to build on those staple races. Though that's just me.

I don't mind more people.

Sorry I totally forgot to check on this... so... yeah. I don’t have a race of any sort at the time I want to use. I’ll think about anything that we might want added, otherwise... yeah just wanted to let you people know I’m still doing... stuff here .-.
 
Given the smorgisborg of races that people are prepping on, I'll work characters and maybe a faction or two inside what people have created or are creating. I also agree with @Lazzamore , we are getting fairly full. However, if people want more players, we'll fit them in. Similarly, @Lazzamore , if you want help GMing, just shoot me a message and I'll get on board to help out in whatever capacity you need. Furthermore, I agree that a main kingdom with a collection of smaller kingdoms creates many possible and interesting RPs and would be quite fun.
 
Limitations are totally fine with me. Also, I wouldn't mind adding another person I think as we start to work on factions etc we probably can work on specific parts in groups?
 
Might need to take you up on that offer, @Shadras !

I love the groups idea! We don't want to be too fractured, but giving something like regions/factions to each of us might be good. Let's wait until we decide if we are still open to divvy out land though. After that, who wants to draw our maps? I have been practicing, if none of you want to. :)
 
Hmm, perhaps, but let's also allow RPers to place characters inside factions other than their own, so long as they get permission from the faction controller, naturally. I am also willing to draw maps, but generally don't have the neatest drawings. I'll upload pictures of them, if wished. Although, I have yet to tackle a planet. However, I'd also be happy to let you, @Lazzamore , to draw the map.
 
For whatever reason....I have have not been getting alerts for this tab again. @Lazzamore I have no problem making a map if someone will compile a list of provinces and territories. I can do it in one of two ways an interactive prezi or a stationary map
 
Stationary is totally fine with me as well but I'm curious about the prezi thing mostly because I've never seen an interactive map haha. Also just on the whole how we could split it up. I'd be fine with the provinces idea. For the "Main Kingdom" we could totally do the province thing, and have them run up by Nobel houses or ranking nobility from the "house" in control. That is, of course, assuming we have nobles families involved. I'm not really for or against that idea just spitballing what comes to mind :p
 
Well, whatever we do, let's get started soon. First off: Name and details of our 'Empire'. I assume it spans most of the globe, right? I personally want to have the option of other empires, but do definitely want to start with the main Empire. So we need to do whatever we must do to start everyone off on their provinces.

So, we need to know:

The Name of our Empire
Basic culture of our empire (Things that are taboo, things that are praised, etc.)
The Nature of the empire's spread (was it fast or slow? Willing or through bloodshed?)

If anyone can thing of something I missed, let me know.
 
I just kinda pulled something from a name generator but I'll add Belthian Kingdom to the pool of potential names.
I also like the idea of it being created through bloodshed and over a long period of time as I think this gives a lot of potential for grudges and interesting history. I'll think more about the question of culture while I'm at work today haha.
