There’s a site called RP Guild that I used to be somewhat active on that has pretty much 100% embraced discord and the forums themselves are nearly dead. An interest check will be posted and then everyone (even the larger group RP’s) wants to either RP on Google documents or via private messaging and then all discussion takes place in discord. The interest check itself dries up and the amount of active RP’s in the forum is near to none.
I even had to face people that wouldn’t RP with me if I didn’t offer a discord up front, or were so hyped about a concept but then instantly bailed when I would clarify “no discord”. *sigh* The age of IM’ing...

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: A revisionist's take on Beowulf, set in Denmark during Grendel's reign of terror.
Genre/s: Historical/Fantasy/Drama/Adventure
Character or Faction Based: Character (although I've not entirely ruled out the incorporation of faction-based elements)
Detailed Description: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is just days away from release. And, because I am an unapologetic opportunist, I intend to ride the coming wave of Norse fanboyism and release an RP based on my favorite piece of ancient literature: Beowulf. Set in 6th century Denmark during the waning days of the Migration Era, players will take on the role of warrior-thegns in the court of King Hrothgar. Having led a victorious war against the Lombardic Heaðobards, Hrothgar commissioned the construction of a glorious mead hall: Heorot. After months of strenuous work, the hall has been completed, and the good King Hrothgar has called for a grand celebration. But, as readers of Beowulf already know, the celebration is to be short-lived...for a darkness lurks in the cold moors beyond Heorot. And the darkness is hungry.
Beowulf is one of my favorite stories, especially due to its unique (yet often times awkward) balancing of Christian and pagan themes. But I absolutely despise the hero archetype, which is perfectly embodied by the story's eponymous protagonist. To me, he always seemed an unrealistic knight in shining armor -- a Dark Age equivalent of Superman. This roleplay's take on Beowulf will disregard the he-man BS that characterized the poem (and most of its film adaptations) in favor of gritty realism. As warrior-thegns of Hrothgar's court, players will struggle to survive not only the bloodlust of the demon Grendel, but also the ambitions of mortal man. This is a time of crisis; navigating the political hellscape of Heorot will be no easy task. You are an accomplished warrior and a lord of Hrothgar's realm. Will you use this unprecedented threat to expand your own power and settle personal scores, or will you band together with your fellow thegns and defend your king against the evils that would shatter his kingdom? The choice is up to you. But be warned that all choices have consequences.

For really, I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest he. And therefore truly, Sir, I think it's clear that every man that is to live under a Government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that Government. And I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put himself under.

Obviously I'm in. In fact, this is such a Norv-like idea that I'm only annoyed I didn't think of it first! Looking forward to it.
