Hello friends and welcome! Since i haven't participated in a roleplay on this site, I've decided to start a roleplay i have been rolling around in my mind. Not my up-most finest work, but it should do for starters and not to mention get to know the players of this community a bit more through creative writing and immagination.
Anyway, onto the RP. In the year 40 BC, set in ancient Rome. Players take the roles of slaves, now the reason for your character's enslavement is entirelly up to you. During that period in history, even Romans themselves could become slaves if they could not repay their debts for instance, so keep that in mind! But then again most slaves were captured from conquests of foreign land, since Rome did rather depend heavily on slaves, some of them were even highly educated, like Greeks for example.
Anyway, the players will be allocated to a large farming estate on the outskirts of Perusia (Present day "Perugia" Italy).
The goal of this RP you may ask? Main priority is not to escape the rattling of one's chains and whip cracks of the overseer. But to survive in a cruel and strict society once you manage to break free, evade pursuing slave hunters and/or Roman legions and either seek refuge in Roman territory or get out of it entirely!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that's what i have to offer, i would like to see how many would actually join something like this! I personally never witnessed anyone roleplay something that is set in an acient world that does not have any fantasy elements.
If you have ANY questions, please, feel free to ask!
I would really love to hear some feedback or criticisms from you!
