RP Idea OOC if people like : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Thu Jan 17, 2013 5:22 pm

Alright so over in fallout rp/ fanfics we have the convention (or now known as the summit). So I was wondering if anybody would be interested in doing something similar with the elder scrolls. My two ideas were either every player chooses a daedric prince and there is the yearly meeting in each prince's different plane of oblivion. My other idea was that we either use every province in Tamriel or every city in Tamriel.

I am open to criticism or any ideas you guys might wanna add cause I'm new at starting an RP.

Well, with TES you have a LOT more variables.

1.) What Era is it?

2.) What do you consider Canon/Non-Canon

etc.

I was thinking of it being like 20 years after the Oblivion crisis which I believe was in the third era.

As with Canon/ Non- Canon I think that most of the elder scrolls lore so far that has happened to this point is canon but we can change it over time but not just instantly

The 4th Era started when the Oblivion crisis ended. Add in the twenty years, by that time the Thalmor are in the middle of setting up a coup in the Summerset Isles and Valenwood. I would pick a different Era.

Alright thanks I get the eras confused sometimes so I'm just gonna reread the wiki a little bit to try to find a different one.

I wouldn't use the wiki. Very bad source of lore and information. How about these:

UESP: http://uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page

Imperial Library: http://www.imperial-library.info/

Ok so new idea what about around the time of Arena but instead of Jagar taking over he is executed for treason and conspiracy and we can figure out what would've happened if his reign wasn't so chaotic (Yes there will be wars in this probably but maybe not as many as when Jagar ruled)

How about the time of the Imperial Interregnum? It's during the 2nd Era. Plus during that time, there was a power vacuum too.

Hey no problem bro :tops:

Quick question since second era has the mages guild how would you guys like them as a faction as well?

» Thu Jan 17, 2013 10:49 pm

The Interregnum isn't a bad idea. Only problem is that we don't know what factions were present in the divided Cyrodiil. (Though we can guess the factions in other provinces.)

It could be possible, but you have to create a legitimate reason for them wanting power. If you need help with any lore related stuff, I'm your Mer. Plus if you need a CO-GM, I'll be willing to help too.

Also what WITYM said.

Hehe... 2nd Era Stuff... I'm gonna go out of business. (It sounds like it'd be very similar to A Province Divided save for it'd be all Daedra... If suggest the end of the third era, just before the OB Crisis) it could be a prequel of sorts to it.

And WITYM, I think you know what factions were in the Divided Province of Cyrodill

I'd love to have you as a CO-GM if we get enough people to get this started and I might take advantage of you being my Lore Mer lol. Do you think that someone being Dagoth Ur should be included in this or should it be earlier in the second era?

Well, from what I understood about the Fallout Conventions, they were mostly just meeting while the events that happened in the meeting only happened outside of the RP.

Though if we do go by what factions were in APD, that would work. Though most people will have to agree to it.

Dagoth Ur could have some say in the political matters. It would be tough for him though, given he's a bit cuckoo and little bit evil too lol.

Lol is your RP in the 2nd era as well? We're still trying to figure out what part of the 2nd era we might be in

Lol you always gotta have that ONE nut job who somehow has a grip of power though lol

I would actually go along with this too. The whole Daedric Prince meeting, in my eyes, really doesn't sound that interesting.

Yes, though the RP istself is a series set in an Alternative timeline in Tamriel. (The Actual RP Yes Man is talking about is already ended, so I personally won't mind you doing a Second era Cyrodiil one.)

Almost like that one crazy uncle who is somehow rich, for no apparent reason.

I was thinking a second era Tamriel one where we can see what people would do if they had that power
