I would also like to participate

As would I... Though I may be in laurentus' boat...

Mostly it'll be things like adding fluff - if you're a member or m/patriarch of a House I'll need to talk to you anyway to get some details about your Family city etc. I'll need people to help with general descriptions of cities, locations, important people, the science, the society, the history etc etc.

Ah. Back story. Sure thing, I can do that.

Pretty much - it's not so much backstory as it is back-history; we'll be creating 'flavour' for regions within Wintreath, specific cities, people and parties, as well as fluffing out what being a Wintrean actually means. I'm asking for input on this stuff because whilst I have constructed most of it from scratch I'd like other people's inputs for the final layer of detailing

Backstories on the individual countries of Winreath?... or Am I missing something here?

Plus, I support this. People looking to enter this major RP will not only experience what it means to be in a community, but it will help them enjoy all the attention newcomers (or veterans) deserve and *hopefully* appreciate. Two birds with one stone. NICE!

Did someone say science?

Yeah, I can help with those.

Not so much every citizen's nation, no - more the geographical regions within the nation of Wintreath and the different ways culture has formed in each. The idea is that each House has a Familial Residence in its origin city and that city reflects what the members of that House want it to be. Where your city is (what 'Ride') semi depends on how the city ends up looking like, so as to fit the city into an appropriate Ride

It's quite complex, but I hope people will see why I was referring to this as the 'House RP' in the initial planning stage; it's quite involved with and interdependent on the Houses as an effort to build regional culture back when I was first putting this together. The rough aim is to create a setting detailed and interesting enough to be believable whilst diverse and involving enough to attract people from all types of RP background whilst creating Familial bonds that would hopefully grow into friendship (the culture thing again).

@Aragonn - I'm happy to have you aboard, but just to say this is fantasy more than realistic :p your thoughts on how to make it look real would be appreciated though!

@Pengu - this is just a reminder to do your piece for Cain

Dude, I already have a design in mind for that rifle you previously mentioned. But yeah, I understand that this will be more fantasy than reality. I'm actually looking forward to creating the science.

That would mean a lot in terms of organization, mapping of Winreath, putting up with a major plot (with some or no side plot lines). It might just do the trick, when it comes to the participants, but it might take (don't quote me on this) weeks or preparation, such as applications, coming up with the ideal plot (and subplots) (major fan of those), mapping, etc. etc. Would the people in this chat be involved in doing such actions?

There is in fact a hand-drawn map I was working on that contains a lot of the locations already - I need to grab it from my old house or download a digitised version of it to continue making alterations but the mapping won't be an issue. The plot/subplots will be, and whilst I've ideas for all sorts of things it'll be great to have other people on board adding to it and making things more diverse

I'll get things moving

Nice. I have been thinking about some ideas already. Might be handy to collaborate on what we should add...

Man, Weiss... You continually and consistently impress me.
I would like to an will attempt to add stuff to the thing later but... You know me... Not known for my dependability on this kind of task.

I've PM'd Mootles to get a private subforum set up so we can start proper collaboration; the rough idea is that we'll set up 'draft' threads that'll be whittled down into the rules/setting/OOC/IC threads etc out of the public eye so that when the end result is published everyone will be blown away! Thank you all once again for your interest in collaborating on this - I'm really chuffed you all like the basic idea enough to waste valuable time helping! :p

Reon as always you're too kind It doesn't matter how consistent you are, just so long as you've got a few things to add or revise throughout the process and you're good.
