XD the RPer with great worldbuilding, yet doesn’t know his own character. Sounds like a Greek tragedy, and very rare. I feel like most in P2TM (me included) are great at making chars, and not so good at detailed worldbuilding, and you’re the opposite. Do you have any ideas yet?
As a side note, thanks everyone for the input! Shout outs to Nagakawa for the excellent two countries and religions, shout out to Blarg for the creative monsters and creatures, and Ovsy for the questions about the money, farming, and dice mechanics. I’ll have the OP completely updated by Tuesday night, and the IC posted by The weekend, with the RP officially beginning when everyone gets up an accepted character app and makes their introduction post in the IC.
As of right now, the first adventure will consist of a group of adventurers in the Barrens meeting at an recently abandoned camp, forced together to defend themselves from an unusually large and aggressive wolf pack. Whether or not your chars know each other, why they’re in the Barrens, and what their short term and long term goals are is completely up to the author themselves, to be coordinated in the OOC and acted out in the IC.
Any country, faction, tribe, or group you create will be under your creative control. For example, if the party finds themselves in Ruo, nagakawa will control all state actors in the country as it’s his creation, such as nobles, influential people, even inconsequential NPCs. It would feel wrong for me to take direct control of them, because it wasn’t my idea and I wouldn’t know how to RP them as Nagakawa would have intended. However, if that country/group/etc would want to go to war, or do something that would affect the long term lore of the setting, it would require OP approval first. Same with me. If i wanted Oxvaal to try and conquer some original Authors country, I would ask approval and work with them to make it interesting and pertinent to the story of the party.
