RP idea: The Frontier.

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 9:05 am

Besides the Tribes in the North, who are likely to be enemies, what sort of factions and groups are present in the south besides the Aldemri Dominion?
There are two factions. The colony; ruled by a corrupt governor. (He will sell any land. that explains how the thalmor got some land there.) who wants to be part of the empire but Titus Mede II has send a small garrison of legionary troops protecting a diplomat who assigned to watch the colony. Basically the empire is cautious in accepting it as a province.

I do like the idea. However it seems to be like this future rolepay except with a morrowind like environment. So the choices here are tough. Go with the original option of what I want? Or do the ambitious project Daroska kindly showed? I think well go with a vote and see what the creator of the mod thinks.

I wouldn't say it's completely like that roleplay setting. One key difference is the fact that this one has a colony spreading forth to battle difficulties.
That in itself is very similar to Valton: The New Hold. My idea would bring about many small communities from different origins, fighting difficulties and each other.
The concept is different. One is based on the fact of unity over diversity, synthesis. However, my idea would be the opposite: diversity over unity, the anti-thesis.

It's like saying Ying is identical to Yang or that genius is identical to madness. They may share the same coin or structure, but they are of completely different ideals.

Actually there will be conflict between the tribes, and the colony but I see where you're going. I do like the idea and I will put some thought to it. Hell, even If I don't do it right now I can gurantee you that I can do it some time in the near future.

Yeah I'll save your idea later in case I get bored of Valton or if this RP fails. Or if I just plain feel like it. However I am looking for atleast two Co guild masters. Mind if you be one?

More like Game Masters.

Now I would desire such a position, but I think it only appropriate to make such an arrangement after this RP has garnered more interest.

Hmmm. You should ground it in already established lore to garner more interest. That's my honest answer.

Hell even my idea wouldn't gain much intrigue by the RP populace I imagine, it's too away from current events.

I agree. That was also one reason why I decided to use your idea later because like you said, it wouldn't intrigue the RP population. Anyways The frontier, from what I know so far, is heavily invovled in the lore, or atleast the current events. So if the maker of the mod dosen't mentioned the lore much in his product then I will in my version.

PS: I'm thinking of having it set in 4E 197 or 4E 204, the former because I want to have the empire having a stronger picture then in the Skyrim civil war but still have to go through the pain of the WGC, the later because it could provide more tension back at home. What do you think?

Ok. Co Game Masters, let's talk about the geography. As the far eastern most part of the map is called the Fjordland. Any roleplayer who goes there will travel through an area that has the Fjords of scandavia. If you don't know what a Fjord is google it. They actually made me want to go there for a few weeks...

Further west; we have the Farland mountains. I think it's a mostly rocky mountain range with little snow and some forrest like you see on the Appalachians. Though that's what I picture it.

In the Northeast we have the Easthaven valley. While I picture it as like a valley in a Sub Tropical climate. (Or in Northwestern Europe.) I could be wrong.

The Fongaar mountains are probably like the mountains you see in Skyrim. Snow everywhere.

The Gormhaart woods is probably like the great forrest in Cyrodill or Falkreath in Skyrim.

And the area around Northwind river is like the area around whiterun. Now I will have the maker of the mod correct me on any mistakes I made.

Sure. Though I'm not ready to start a sign up thread I will pretty soon. Hell I need two Co gm's. (Prisoner six is already one so that means one more.) So if you want you can be one.

Agree. However I need the CO GM's. (So far you and Prisoner six.) to help me with this. We already have the rules. (just mostly the ones most Role plays enforces.) But I still think we should go into detail about what creatures we will encounter, details into the faction, Basically flesh out the whole damn place. With help from the person who is making the mod.

How about meat eating sheep? no seriously it would be a good take on the normal ever so peaceful cousins on tamriel whats to say they havent evolved into Carnivores? plus it would be a good encounter in the wild.

That does sound good. Maybe they are sheep somehow escaped from some farmers and had adapted into eating meat. Though we should see what the other Co GM thinks.

Now any other ideas?

Problem is it may violate the lore. Let me think of one. Maybe we could have seasons?

It actually does make sense to have the northern lights. However It think it's best if only I can change the season. Not only that different weathers in general. (Fog, rain, snow, ect.)
