19th Century War and Diplomacy RP

[Moldie]

I launched a similar Rp to this a few months ago, but after much progress it was very suddenly extinguished. I now want to check up on the interest for an RP like this? We're talking the late 1800's where inventions such as machineguns, trains, cameras, steamboats and the modern rifle start to dawn, i've always found the era immensely interesting with everything from the clothing and culture to the wars and figures interesting me.

This is not an rp where we use earth's map or history as any sort of basis, we make our own nations and map and then play it out in a game of everything from personal intrigue to the grandest of battles being a part of it.

 

[Math]

sounds interesting

 

[CykaShotgun]

I'm interested.

So, any thoughts or plans for the RP?

 

[Math]

revolutionary austrian-russian-ish type monarchy

 

[Winter_Wolf]

Interested. I already have a nation in mind from a story I started writing that involves a fictional nation in the 1890s.

Do you have a start date in mind?

 

[Moldie]

Do you have a start date in mind?

For the RP or in the RP?

Well, assuming you mean when I intend to start the thread, perhaps sometime this week given those who are intrested can turn in sheets and such in good time.

 

[Winter_Wolf]

Oh I just meant the in-game start date.

 

[Moldie]

Oh I just meant the in-game start date.

Ah, perhaps sometime during the summer? Any prefered date?

 

[Winter_Wolf]

No preferred date really. I guess in general a longer timeline/earlier start date = more technology to discover/invent, but would need a faster pace to get through the years or decades. A shorter timeline/later start date = less technology to discover/invent since we start with it already, but seems necessary if the RP pace is slower.

The corollary is that even if we started later, we could spill over into the early 20th century if we need to I guess.

I think i'd rather preffer a shorter more in deapth timeline.

On another note, do you think there should be a installed sheet for nationmaking? Or should one be able to make the aheet however? I'm practicaly done with my nation, and we could use that sheet?

 

[Winter_Wolf]

Yeah your sheet might work

 

[Moldie]

Yeah your sheet might work

Okay, I'll post it when I can. Given that this is an RP better suited for quite a few players you're welcome to invite any suited players yu might know.

You guys all in?

 

[BLK]

I'd be interested in this, potentially

 

[Moldie]

So yeah, here's the sheet i've been using. It might be missing a few thing to feel free to alter it however you want. You don't necessarily have to use this sheet either, but this contains the most important information.

[Moldie]

So will a cs thread be created, or should we just post them here for now?

It'll be fine to just put them here for now.

 

[Winter_Wolf]

In the nation sheet, what do you mean by "statehood"--would that be like what form of government?

 

[Moldie]

In the nation sheet, what do you mean by "statehood"--would that be like what form of government?

Exactly. Monarchy, Republic, Theocracy etc.

 

[Moldie]

Can we get a map, or are we suppose to create our own for our countries?

There are two options, either everyone makes a map and we piece the together, or I make a map with claimable territory. If we make one where one can claim their own, everyone has to make in account nearby nation so that we can make things like ethnicity, language and culture at least slightly coherent.

A claimable map would be real nice.

 

[Winter_Wolf]

A claimable map would be real nice.

Agreed. Then maybe we can sketch, gimp, paint, etc our own nations in detail.

 

[Moldie]

Very well, I'll scrap something together. Now, should I make a multi continental map or simply something like Eurasia?

 

[Warlord Tom]

Do as you please. You can count me in, and I'm fine with any sort of claimable map

 

[Math]

hey i'm still definitely interested in this and the CS is turning out pretty awesome!
