So as a guild RP I'd like to see a guild effort to run it. I can get some books together for suggested reading. Or just foot notes as there is a lot of work to do. I'll be working on expanding brief summary and foot notes of other cultures and races as well, however this is all established work and if anyone else can help me do this I would appreciate the help. Most important thing is there are iron and steel weapons, steel weapons are harder to find. There is plate mail but it's a a kings ransom almost. I think it's average value is 1500 silver pieces. The likely hood of getting it any time soon is a rough ******** deal. You would prolly need to loot it from a knight, which means you need to be able to stake you claim and defend it from all the other looters. However Kothic steel isn't too hard to find. It's essentially the equivilant of Damascus steel of the Hyborean age. You can get some all right and it's somewhat of a status symbol. It's just not cheap. I think mech warrior said it best "Life is cheap, war is expensive.". However being combat worthy does give you some degree of freedom so to speak. However I want to place this adventure in the city of Zomaro. The Wiki Links is as, Quote: The capital city of Zamora is known as the City of Thieves. Conan first arrives here in his quest to find the most vile cesspit of cities, in order to learn the ways of civilization. The Zamorans he encounters here are mostly from the Maul, a region of the city where the thieves and rogues gather. Although Zamora has a rich culture and centres of higher learning, it is the dark alleys and seedy taverns that give it its reputation. Zamorans are a seperate race from Hyborians. They tend to be darker skinned, but not as dark as the people of the far south. Zamorans have a reputation for deviousness and theivery.

This is a very good page to get a very brief foot notes of what each race is. RacesWeapons and Armor, general technology by race. Arms and ArmorEssentially high lights why I like Conan despite the misogynistic and racist over tones. Racism in the Hyborian AgeOtherwise I'm going to do some work later on general locals. However if you all ready have an race type and idea I can help you out. Also explaining how sorcery works in Conan is going to take some work too. As previously mentioned the biggest trick is finding the sources of information for those who want to read largely into detail and then the kind of diluted foot note version for people who don't.

I am trying to decide between my Zamorian Merchant Prince or my Aesir Boar Hunter. Both have ups and downs.
Bodak Yare is the Zamorian, and upsides to him would be that, hey, he's important and would be good RPly to initiate things for people and more freedom in his plans. Downside is that he's weaker and is well known, thus he can't do things in Zamora as discreetly.
Korac nac Vard is the Aesir. Upsides are that he's strong and it will be interesting to watch him interact with others. He's also probably going to be a target for other people to try to use due to his being kinda naive about civilization. Downsides are that he is poorer and won't have as much freedom for doing things by himself, and that he'll be used by people.
As such, both present different styles and could be called different sides of a coin. I'm just not sure at the moment.

Addicted to free mine craft. I will return to working on this when I work the addiction out of my system.

By being yourself. You make it easy to not want to be around you. Which by the way my dad needs a new harpoon, so he and I can go spear fishing. >3

Loel Scythe By being yourself. You make it easy to not want to be around you. Which by the way my dad needs a new harpoon, so he and I can go spear fishing. >3 Whoah there college. Slow down. I know Rag outside of Gaia. As far as I know I didn't actually cross any boundaries. Also the subtext of what you said is that I'm an a** hole. Which I agree; I am. I understand that intentionally or otherwise you're inviting judgement with this statement. In all honesty if it's not towards having fun or on topic I'd rather this thread not deal with things like that. If you would like to continue this discussion in private or some place else I'd be more than happy to oblige you.

Nah I was just jesting with you, I'm a major jerk myself. Takes on to know one, eh?
Hmm... I think I have an idea for a character, I'm starting to like the concept of him. Now I just have to figure out his race... he must be a mix because one race either covers him and then misses something or holds a feature he doesn't have. And there's also a younger sister I have to keep in mind.

Well, Loel, tell us about the character. We can help you decide on a race then.

Well, from what I see him to be physically, He's maybe 15 years old stands about 5"7 -5"8 somewhere there, but he's lanky with some slight muscle, perhaps from only being able to afford to eat lightly, but his physic suggest he's pretty flexible, and agile, cause he is a pick-pocket, but he's not proud of the fact. He's dark eyed, dark ( dark-chocolate to coffee color ) semi-curly hair , and tanned to a caramel color. He knows how to read and write in two languages and has a great curiousity for the world, and is eager to learn new things. From what I can get, when he's not cloaked and stealing from others, he works as a gardener for richer folks ( could explain his tan ), he probably learned one of his languages from a co-worker who would have been a tutor.
Now his sister, because this also affects him: His sister is 11 years old, brown eyed (it's a lighter brown than the boy's), and has milk-chocolate hair it grows out strait at first and then goes into wide waves at the ends. ( damage of some sort? ) She's about 5"1 maybe an extra quarter inch but that's not exactly noticeable. She's not as tan as him, if I had to say it'd be more like Light Brown Sugar color.

It's basically Indian. From the sounds of it he might of come from a noble house before he ended up in the zomorian city of thieves. It would be likely that he was confused as a legit noble before they found out he wasn't and just dumped him into the mall. Or you could be still held hostage. I have a couple NPCs in mind. Like Fat Tony. He gets reused in a lot of my RPs. @_@

rofl
Noble huh? I don't feel like he is a noble, he's basically lived a modest lifestyle most of his life. And he's pretty much the one taking care of his sister, they have a small home in the more nicer sub-urban areas ( if there is one) . There mom died sometime after his siter turned two, and their father... Don't know much about him, my thoughts keep jumping about who and what he's like. I do see this very learned man though... maybe, he's the one being held hostage.
