Hello. There are many different types of nation builders. But I will certainly say that the type that myself, @Beckoncall and @Cosmo tend to run are ones where you are either in charge of a small group or an entire nation and their development.
Typically to show advancement, there are...
Thank you. I appreciate that. It's not easy, but its worth the hard work.
To be honest, until I had joined up with RPN, I hadn't known about the genre either. It took a few tries until I got an actual steady player base that follows me from one to the next.
Also Honestly, I know that you...
Time travel stuff is always fun. Did you ever watch the show: Seven Days?
Its about a top secret program that used alien technology from Roswell to create a time machine that allows them to send the user (but not the machine) back seven days since thats as much fuel as they have. They always...
For Clarity, he released a universe devouring entity which killed millions of people before it was stopped so he could steal a piece of it to gain a powerful minion. It even killed two player characters during its massive rampage.

I will say as to Discord, I run plenty of Nation Builder RPs on RPN. And I find that the Fluff and turn Actions are great for RPN.
But for any adventures that occur in the NRP or player interaction/interaction with NPCs, Discord works perfectly and at a steady pace that...
I actually have rules for that. In my previous Act, I had a player whose faction was wiped out and he made a singular character following the rules laid out as the start of an adventuring party. He had made a mage that was taking classes at the Mage Academy which was run by another player...
To be fair, when I run my BoN threads, we do have a map which we update every turn to show where people have moved their troops or set up a new city. Or even if a major explosion caused a giant crater, etc. Considering your love of Warhammer 40k stuff, you might like my next one coming up. BoN...
Thanks. I'm sure you'll get there some day. My first effective nation builder went on for 3 Months and they've improved since there.
Once you start showing off what you have, sometimes you can collect a following who want in on the next thread. So don't give up!
I recommend running a game like that on a mix of the Forum itself and on Discord. Discord is great for being able to quickly resolve issues, roll dice and even for OOC chats. Then you use the forum for your actual posts and fluff leading to much more satisfying posts on the forum.
I use these...
My very first character was in a Star Trek roleplay on AIM back in the AOL days. He was an engineer on a starship. Completely normal right?
Wrong. Whenever the ship came under attack, I always had my guy get hot by one of the exploding consoles.
It's very cringy to think about now though. Lol. :-p
I actively dislike Tubberbot and will leave any discord server if they attempt to implement it. It has done nothing but make things much more needlessly complicated than things need to be.
There are a bunch of Power Rangers RPs on this forum.
I myself an running a nation builder one where you can play as either a Ranger Team or a Villian Group
The Group threads that I find work the best and are the longest running are Nation Builder Rps, which is why I love to be a part of them and run some, myself. It gives set boundaries, while also giving lots of room to grow and things to rp, both in what that player creates and between other...
Id say that one of my absolute favorite characters that I've rped was an OC on a forum where the entire forum was different sections of the city (And later other locations within the world). Here's the Cliff Notes version of events.
He was Miinar, a dark elf warrior who along with his twin...
I prefer Group threads mainly because the game doesn't come to a grinding halt if you lose a few players which is inevitable over the course of the first few posts. I however have found that when I am running them, they last much longer. My older nation builder threads lasted three months and...
I most of the time, create brand new characters for most RPs, but sometimes I get a craving to play a certain character and will then make a version of them that is tailored to whatever world I happen to be rping in. I subscribe to the multiverse theory, so as such, there can be many versions of...
There are actually a lot of missing Doctor Who episodes. Some were taped over by the BBC and others were destroyed in a large studio fire a number of years ago. Its always very exciting when someone comes forward having actually recorded the episode so that it can be added back to the archives.
Mine would have to be Miinar. He was a dark elf warrior with a twin sister. Their parents summoned a demon to give the twins powers in order for them to gain greater social status. Miinar gained increased strength and constitution, eventually down the line culminating in access to demonic wings...
