Dani Grey Just because its a steampunk rp doesn't automatically make it set in the 1800's. stare
I thought we were over this, but that's not the point. My point is that there was no Steam Power in the middle ages, therefore no steampunk. I merely used the 1800's as an example because that's when steam power was at its height and the vast majority of steampunk stories take place in the victorian era.
SpyderSteampunk Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution.
You mean Pre-1930s right? Even so, the the very end of the second industrial revolution was in the 1920s. The First industrial revolution and the victorian era were both during the 1800s. The end of the victorian era was 1901... so I'm not sure where the 30s come into all of this.
SpyderSteampunk Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages.
Now this I can grasp.

Dixie Dellamorto Dani Grey Dixie Dellamorto sweatdrop That still doesnt explain the medieval aspect. From that, I've got fantasy and I've got steampunk... you lose me at Medieval. I need an explination of how the middle ages are happening at the same time as the 1800s. Just because its a steampunk rp doesn't automatically make it set in the 1800's. stare I thought we were over this, but that's not the point.

Oh no no no, I wasn't disagreeing on what you said about the middle ages hun. Also I'm sorry if my last post may have come off a little hostile, that wasn't my intention :c

No, it's okay. I understand where you are coming from compleatly. And the same goes for me, I'm not trying to come across as an know it all or anything, I'm just trying to understand because I won't be able to enjoy myself if I'm not on the same wavelength as everyone else.

well lets say that we can't have a middle age steampunk, for the middle age, or Drak age was a time when technology was lost. But we can have a renaissance steampunk. The renaissance is the same as the middle age, but technology was on the rise.

We should make a OCC/Forum games subforum. That way, if someone gets writer's block, they still can get be active in the guild.

Moon and Star Keith Valken Lionheart Well, this is what I had in mind. The RP would be in a different world, not in our World. Why? Because the surface of our planet is pretty much explored, there isn't much to discover, and doesn't leave much to the imagination. In making a large, fictitious world, we give the players the chance go fire up their Steamships, and travel the world, exploring those long forgotten corners of the planet. Also, it allows for flexibility. Fantasy fits in better if the world is a different one. What I wanted to do was make a setting, like a D&D book that tells you all about the world and what you can find in it. Flesh it out. not a bad Idea, it removes the who problem that is Earth history. I may have something that may help jump start this kind of Idea. A Steampunk World I already have how allot of things work out in this set up, not written down, but thought out. Also here's a link to a Fantasy RPG based on a webcomic, Drowtales As for fantasy RPG's go this one is quite well made and has around 8-9 years under it's belt. If you want a good RPG guild in one world without everyone stepping over each other, then this is the way to do it. Drowtales is a bit ackward, as their vision of Drow are less evil. Have any of you played Arcanum? It's a steampunky WRPG where most of the cities and villages have a Renaissance feel to them, knights in armor etc, but the Industrial revolution's starting to bloom. It has a very nice feel.

It has a very nice feel. I don't see how Drowtales is backwards, it's Not D&D it's Drowtales. (It's about Elves the ended up living underground as refugees from their won war.) simply labeling a whole race as evil because one fantasy book says so is a bit sad. THis is how you see them Miths Sorry I'm a big Drowtales Fan. I mean other Fantasy books would see my Morrocks in the same way, just because their pure carnivorous and have no problem with eating a human, dose not make them evil monster, just Carnivores. if you want your steampunk RPG to be good you have to keep an open mind.

I meant to say ackward, not backward XD Sorry 'bout that. It's the fighting between Drow that I don't get, since they're usually trying to defeat the elves or plotting something evil.

I meant to say ackward, not backward XD Sorry 'bout that. It's the fighting between Drow that I don't get, since they're usually trying to defeat the elves or plotting something evil. Oh I see, well the Drows in Drowtales are more political, for they have different groups (Clans) that are trying to get more power over the others. It's not much different to how we (Humans) are. In the USA the democrats and republicans are always ate each others throts over how they want to run things. I you check out the current chapter of Drowtales, it's all political, with a meeting of all the clans. it's that knind of depth in how a world works that would give this RP so extra life. Not only would you be human, but you belong to this plitical group, making you an enemy to this other group, but natraly friendly with another, and this is what your common view on another country is. it's better then having everyone just make up their own aspect of a world settings, and just getting confused over time.

I have a design for a steampunk rpg setting in the works.If you want me to send you what i got so far Keith I will
BTW:I agree Keith, drows are mostly seen as evil as a serious enemy.
Drows tales to me is a comedy of what people before drows tales have decided.

Freedom the wolf Drows tales to me is a comedy of what people before drows tales have decided. ehhh what? well I think we should set up a subfourum that is about making the Steampunk world: What kind of land are they on, what are the politics, how big is piracy, myths, and lets not forget the tech.

Your choice. well this thread can be used for the generic stuff, but probably a subforum should be used to go into the pacific stuff. If you want a big RPG then it will take some time to set it up. Think of it as a FAQ/World-settings/Help subforum.
