IO Spin-Off Site Ideas

[Deleted]

I want to roleplay! IO is dead (again) and on the one other site I used to roleplay on, nobody ever finishes threads.

I'd like to start a new site, as I am incredibly starved for any kind of creative writing.

Some ideas:
The Western US (1870-1910)
The Eastern US (1750-1790)
The Caribbean (1680-1720)
Ancient Europe/Middle East
Ancient China
Sengoku-era Japan
Meiji-era Japan

What about the crusades? owo

[Deleted]

Could be fun! Whereabouts? I always liked the period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades.

Hmmm... *strokes goatee and thinks of pointy hats*

[Deleted]

Sooo... is it something you were willing to pursue further?

[Mac Bargett]

I would be up for any historic roleplay, I guess.

Crusades it is!

We'll say it's sometime between 1174 and 1186.

Factions!
The Kingdom of Jerusalem (Crusader State)
The County of Tripoli (Crusader State)
The Principality of Antioch (Crusader State)
The Principality of Armenian Cilicia (Crusader-allied)
The Byzantine Empire (Neutral. Assholes.)
The Ayyubid Sultanate (Egyptian Islamic Nation)
The Sultanate of Rum (Turkish Islamic Nation)
The Emirate of Aleppo

Gotta run finish later holy shit

Here's a map I finished last night:



And here's the site:
god-wills-it.proboards.com/

Looking forward to building a fun roleplaying game together. I'll make someone for Jerusalem and someone for the Ayyubids.

I've not done much. Been too worn out after work.

Zengids are now Mosul.

Playable factions
The Kingdom of Jerusalem
The Principality of Antioch
The County of Tripoli
The Principality of Armenian Cilicia
The Ayyubid Sultanate
The Beylerbeylik of Aleppo
The Beylerbeylik of Mosul
The Sultanate of Rum
The Byzantine Empire


I thought a good starting situation would be Saladin's invasion of Aleppo. Anyone in?

You know... I really wouldn't mind doing a Napoleonic war (1799-1815) era role play.
If someone's willing to do a thread with me on here, un-officially in one of the open areas as a tester perhaps, I'd enjoy that. I haven't got the time to make the forum myself, seeing as I'm working full-time and can't even keep this place updated/repaired/alive.

Like Friedrich said though, I do miss creative writing.
I'm by all means happy to give this Crusade forum a try if you get it up and running, but I'm just spit-balling other ideas and that's one era of RP I wouldn't mind trying.

I hope you're ready for some serious 19th century combat.

Also I just realized your sig is a guy wearing a hat over his face, not a half-man/half-camera abomination.

Half-man and half-camera abomination? Hahaha!
Yeah that's an image of me laying with a hat over my face, but I obviously made it black and white; think the lines blur a little, so I can see why you got a bit confused. There's a lot of checkered stuff going on.

[PuNk! ™]

Ohhh and yes I'm ready for some 19th century combat. It has begun!

Heyyy! I made a Napoleonic Wars proboard. Spent two months or so researching and setting it up. Never got off the ground and I deleted it -_-

It's a huuuuuge subject. Complicated history. I never did figure out a good way to moderate battles or campaigns. It was so much more than going and killing your opponent, but the dance of armies around one another trying to find advantageous ground...

Anyway, I've finished setting up the site's skeleton.

I really like how wild-west-y the period is.
