Just taking a quick break from my exam studying to ask something that's been on my mind recently. What with fantasy picking up in popularity and, for example, the upcoming movie adaptation of The Hobbit and HBO's television adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, would anyone be interested in resurrecting the Fantasy RP portion of DT? Just wondering aloud. How many people would be interested? |

Do vampires qualify as fantasy? After watching Daybreakers and some other vampire movies recently, I'm interested in RPing a vampire race.

Well, to use one example, they're a whole army/nation in the Warhammer Fantasy setting so, of course. Everything from vampire societies based on knockoffs of Bram Stoker's Dracula to the kind of mad/feral beastman vampires have appeared in fantasy settings before, usually as or in conjunction with necromancy magic to extend longevity or preserve an undead state through feeding on human blood, either for physiological or "death-spell"/magical reasons. |

I'd be interested in a steampunk fantasy setting. |

Funny you should mention steampunk. My next gig is at the International Steampunk City in 2 weeks. |

I am also interested, though I'd take a different username. I'd be happy to do something thats Barbary Corsair/Caribbean Pirate in theme, with necromancers and ships of the damned and brutal slave raids. |

After discussing a little with Manuel, I propose that the setting, as far as technology goes, has gunpowder weapons in somewhat widespread usage, especially by industrial races. Steam-powered machines are also game though prone to failure or explosions with hilarious consequences. I would compare it to the way the Steam Tank works in Warhammer Fantasy Battles, if anyone is familiar, or traditional steampunk walkers/robots. This allows for everything from Dark Ages to High Medieval to Renaissance Steampunk (think da Vinci) at the discretion of whatever everyone chooses to RP. What does everyone think? We also will need a map. Edited by Hawkeye, Apr 24 2011, 03:06 PM.

I'd also have the gunpowder weapons also be iffy for 2 reasons. 1 so that they don't become 'uber weapons' and 2 to add to the chaos.

Looks like we got ourselves quite a project on our hands. I am inclined to agree that gunpowder weapons should be dangerous to operate given that, until the 17th-18th century, they usually were. Also, we don't want there to be handheld weapons that can easily outdo the more fantastical elements of our setting. |

the hand held gun powder weapons (early styles) were very hazardous (not to mention highly inacurate, that if you shot it with your eyes open, you'd probably blind yourself) |

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, just how many good, evil and neutral states do we have here? I'm working on an entirely new map which is more or less done, I'm just waiting to see if Dan wants me to paint terrain on the map or leave it blank. |

I'll be an "evil" Orcish empire based in some mountainous area with lots of coal and iron. I will be using WWI-esque tanks, zeppelins, organ guns, rifles, etc, and be bent on conquest. ![]() Soon the world will bow to the might of the Orcish Tribes. My capital will be the site of the world's largest iron mine, and be built into the ruins of an ancient dwarven fortress of some sort, conquered years ago. It is from this fortress that the orcs learned of technology. If anyone is playing around with some Dwarves, and wants to create a historical animosity relating to that, I'd love it. I actually do have a very old roleplay site that never quite got off the ground with map, geographies, races, etc. http://s7.zetaboards.com/Kemen/index/ Edited by Manuel, Apr 27 2011, 04:35 PM.

Here's the finalized map (unless Dan says otherwise): http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g177/Kazekyoushu/Devious%20Tyrant%20RP/FantasyDT2-1.jpg Warning, its fairly large. I will probably make some modifications to make the mountains more visible. Edited by Meteora, Apr 28 2011, 09:12 PM.

I'd probably be neutral at the start, then turn evil if I am invaded. Excellent map, by the way. Your skills certainly appear to have been sharpened since the Alterra RP map. Edited by Nuke, Apr 28 2011, 02:43 AM.
