The Holy Roman Empire: An extremely power powerful realm, but also a tumultuous one in the best of times. The king is still elected in the old ways of the Germanic tribes; its interests in Italy bring it into conflict with the Catholic church; and powerful families all vie for greater privileges and independence.
Gameplay
- Dynasty-based roleplaying. Control a small cast of characters including daughters to marry off, brothers and uncles ruling neighboring counties, and the heirs that will one day head the family.
Intuitive rules. Most math & die rolling goes on in the background. Players just deal with in-character effects, mostly represented on an easy-to-read map.
We Frown Upon
- Especially poor grammar/spelling. We're not ultra-strict, especially if English is your second language, but some effort should be put into your posts.
Overdoing post decoration. A little header is ok, but if half of your RP posts consist of images and fancy borders, you should try to trim some of that down to help bring the focus to what you're actually writing.
Playing to win. This is not a war game: We strive for an rich and compelling setting.
Obviously anachronistic RP. We try to use history to enrich the setting, taking real-world titles, conflicts, etc. and shaping our own version of the world around them. While it isn't expected that every player be a historian, try to keep in mind the time period this takes place in.
Extended inactivity. Because of the nature of the game, being gone for weeks at a time means a major family someone else could be playing is sitting idle. You should be able to check in at least a few times a week.
To join in, just go to the sign-up thread in the forums and request a character. We look forward to seeing you there!
