    I actually have a few ideas for a Tudor-inspired royal court that I’m not going to have time to turn into a RP anytime soon, so I’d be happy to “donate” them to this RP if you’re interested.

    PM me for novelised versions of any of my RPs, or ones that I have participated in. Set by the awesome Karma.

    You only say that because you know I have the hats for it.

    And I can donate some of my ideas for a medieval fantasy nation-building RP which included a high council complete with ranks.

    I'm gonna be honest, the Ottoman-Couch Alliance was one of the things that motivated me to work on making this into a thing.

    Honestly, I think they would be about the same effort to GM either one. As far as lore is concerned, if we went with separate countries for all, that's almost something that each person could deal with for themselves. If we went with non-fiction, you've already got something to go off of. If fiction, I'd probably let people create their factions backstory/lore for themselves. With some guidelines, of course.

    Now, managing resources/power might be easier in a high council game, but if we go with the separate factions, I'd almost be tempted to just simplify it to something along the lines of a strategy game so that it's easier for me to overlook as a GM, but also so players aren't overwhelmed with stuff to manage.

    Nah, I'd love to GM either one. I've had the idea of running a game where each player ran their own country for years now. For the longest time I just didn't know how to run it, but after getting some experience in it, I feel like I have a good general idea now.

    But I've also been playing with the idea of a High Council roleplay for a while now too.

    I'd be happy to GM whichever one everyone else would rather participate in.

    Haha, an alliance for the annals!


    Your post says "one or the other", but I just hear "First the country, then the world!" :P

    Sounds like council/court life is the selection. This will be fun!

    Since everyone is already contributing something, if it's historical and you need any research done or non-historical and you want some general lore written up for it then consider me happily volunteered!

    Yeah, we're probably gonna do non-historical.

    If I use what Az sent me, which I think I will, then we've already got a good portion of lore already figured out. I think there will be a few details I might wanna add though, so I will possibly take you up on that offer.


    Everyone is okay with doing a medieval-fantasy setting, right?

    Question is...if we don't have enough players to fill all council positions are we allowed to have two characters to fill the positions? Assuming you use the ones I sent Infra
