Genre:
Medieval/Fantasy (with a bit of Bronze Age tribal thrown into the mix)
Difficulty:
Certainly advanced. We're not elitist, but we do demand high-quality writing, well-drawn characters, etc.
Type(s) of Creature(s): We're humans-only.
Preferred Rating: We're R, though you have to label sex threads (we've only had about three, our main thing is violence)
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: We're very active--not today, as I think most people are doing Fourth of July things--I'm only on for about a minute! Generally, though, we get 20-80 solid posts a day, and people are very interested in RPing with new members. I always do myself. :)
Preferred Time where RPG is set in:
Medieval/Fantasy :p As you said, fairly obvious, though we do have background cultural and historical information.
Other Notes: We love it when people come in with ideas and contributions. We do have a lot of plot already--a war, a serf rebellion, some of those romantic tryst things, thieves, mercenaries, drug dealers, etc.--we have room for more at any time.
PM or IM me at any time if you have questions. Good luck with your search.
Our ad:
Knights and Barbarians, Shamans and Soldiers, Warriors and Priests, Ladies and Whores...
Not enough? We've got more--many of them dependent on your imagination. If you're creative, a good writer, and willing to try something new--this is the site for you.
So just sit back, buckle in, and
Prepare for War...
The Baskar call the pale-faced strangers interlopers. They call themselves Thiasans. And they're out to crush the so-called barbarian opposition once and for all in what promises to be a long and bloody war. Barbarians? Just because their warlords marry their own sisters and they worship the sun as a God? The Baskar hardly think so. No, it's the Thiasans who must be conquered, with their castles and manor-houses, their arrogant King and brutal soldiers... their cannons and iron swords...
Come to think of it, the Baskar wouldn't mind getting ahold of some of those superior weapons... illegal arms traders, you say? It doesn't hurt that some of the Baskar are willing to trade a plant called
datura--a potent hallucinogen--in return.
Then there's the plot to kidnap and sacrifice the Thiasan King to appease the Baskari Sungod...
...a prospective Queen so ugly she's thrown the country into an uproar...
...and no heir to be seen, apart from the weak and diffident Prince Fergus, the King's younger brother.
Let's face it, we're in trouble.
Welcome to
Thiasa.
And for those who've read this much of the ad, some
Site Trivia:-We've won
RPG-D's Forum of the Week award--a fairly big deal, apparently.
-We have an amazing new feature,
auxiliary characters.
-We had 30 members within a week of opening, and we're still growing (we now have over 100).
-We encourage original characters, as long as they fit into our world.
-We also have so-called 'canon' characters, mostly ones connected to characters we're already playing, and generally very broadly described--often, we won't even assign them a specific age.
-Our members create most of our 'canons' themselves--members of their characters' families, etc.--so if you want a readymade role to play, that's up for grabs, too.
-We never require that you use a certain play-by.
-'Thiasa' comes from a Greek word. Ten points if you get the reference.
-Thiasan culture is based on Medieval Italy and France, and Baskari culture is based on the Sioux and the Aztec. Animal spirits
and human sacrifice--where can you go wrong?
-A bored college student made up most of the site information. It took longer to compile the information on the Baskar than it took her to write a term paper on the philosophy of consciousness.
-Our cbox is unfiltered. That's right, you can curse in it.
-Come on, you know you want to join
now.
