Hellooooooooo!
I'm just getting something out there to get the archives up and running and to organize creating characters for folks hopefully taking part in that.
https://orb.moe/emerald-flame/ has all of the stuff you'd be interested in to at least start the process, to be filled in as we collab on existing world details and/or just plow ahead with questions and answers.
Weeeeeeeee!
Bumping this for player #2's behalf and to note that I forgot to mention initially that the list archives are at https://lists.incorporeal.org/ hyperkitty/list/emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org/ if you need to refer to an old post (e.g. replying to a thread like this one which you didn't receive email for). The UI isn't amazing, but it can be helpful in a pinch. Anyway, I've sent some feelers out to look for maybe 1-2 more players, we'll see if anyone bites, but I don't think there's any reason to wait on anything right now. We can start discussing characters and more specifics about where we're starting/what we're doing, which I always like doing collaboratively. So fire away with questions, ideas, etc.! The bare bones of my setting to this point are available at https://orb.moe/etravar/. If you're looking for a quick summary of where in the "high fantasy" scale my head is at, my favorite settings (other than FR, which is a kitchen sink, so little help) include Eberron for its factions and higher magi-tech level and pulp-y stuff, and the 13th Age Dragon Empire for its willingness to break any traditional high fantasy mold it wants to and essentially say "a wizard did it" at scale, and again for its factions. (An aside, I haven't pulled the trigger on a choice on this yet, but I keep thinking about how easy it'd be to include relationship dice in this game.) Let me know what you're thinking/wondering/struggling with, and (especially as an OOC thread) don't worry about the details of anything, let's simply get the ball rolling and see where we end up. -- bss (Brian S.
