Seriously, though, I'm sure it'd be fine. We never had a game or RP thread killed by mods. By size? Yep. By boredom? Yep. But not by ORCfire. And I may be interested. I don't know what to do, though. I mean, it'll be tough for me to find something I liked as much as CC.
Our RP stuff actually has a really good record of CoC compliance. It's ... odd that way.

oh okay,i'd like to know more detials along with offer any help I can to help with the setting itself for this game
The last few settings were not specific at all - or, if it were game-based, it'd be stuff that members here made up. There would be like three threads for the game: an RP thread, a game action thread and a game rule suggestion/discussion thread. So, all of it was kind of made up here by the people playign the game. Since this will be just an RP thing (if it happens), though, I don't know if there'll be a setting or not. Ragnar would have to answer that. But we had all sorts of oddball characters that really wouldn't have made sense together in any specific system or setting. And it worked well enough, too. I would guess that it would be that open again in order to try and recapture that Tavern RP feel but I could also be totally wrong, heh.
That's why it has to be open, basic HF. My own setting puts more restriction than I'd like on any participants, so it'll be a bit generic instead.

Well, I was thinking of a massive city, I have notes for a fully thoughtout city setting on my computer if you want me to, i can pull thos up and we can use it.
EDIT: along with loose notes on key folks liek the captian of the city guard,a barkeep,elected officials and some noble houses
?
I can haz

*Looks back at previous iterations*
Yes.
@Trappedslider: Yeah, that could work well.
@Trappedslider: Yeah, that could work well.
Want it in this thread or a diffrent thread for the setting itself?
I assume there's got to be some rules for this game. Right? At least one. Every game has at least one rule.
No Mary Sueing, limit God Mode as much as possible.
@trappedslider: In this thread at the moment; if it's decided that that setting is the one to use, then the three definite interests plus two possibles will constitute justification for starting this thing up, in which case I would put up a quote of the setting in the first or second post.
The city's population rest at justy under 2 million people divded up amonges the classes unevenly. Upper (which contains most if not all of the city's local government,and those who are in the court of the king Atlon X (subject to change) and the upper members of the other noble houses (no names at this point) of the kingdom.
The middle class make up the majority of the government workers,here is where the city geti's functioniaries,the clarks,city guard/armed forces( but not the capints and high ranking offericers thsoe come from the upper classes)
The lower class which makes up the rest is also were the normal level grunts for the armed forces come from,along with those who handle most of the dirty jobs of the city.
The city is roughly divied up by sections of fuction,the center of the city holds the Castle where the king and his family live and work and the court gather. Then surrounding that is the city's government center. Then divded by a row of parks and publica aereas are numerous market places,and then the Upper classes residential area. The houses here were well guards and the city's lights are kept in working by use of magic. Then on the outter areas are the middle and lwoer class areas,which are hardly patroled by anyone,other than citizen groups,and if you want to see you're way in the dark then you better have your own light.
About 5 miles south of the center of the city are the docks,that bring in trade goods and fish to be sold ot the market palce. It's heavily patroled by the city gaurd,howver there is also a small black market forming here handled by the theives guild.
Then 2 miles west from the center of town is the wizard's school ( bite me) they are hired by the king to help keep parts of the city from the darkness along with any magical problems that pop up. It is heavily guared by spells and wizards. The wizards themselves are drawn from all classes.
Getting back to the marketplace one of the more popular hangouts is called The Sword and the Club ( can be changed) Here you'll find commoners dicussing things with nobles,Class distections are left at the door.
However unbeknowest to the vast majority in the subasement is the theive's guild headquaters, The acess point is knowen only to members and not even the owner of the taveren is aaware of it being located there.
EDIT: And down by the docks is The Drunken Seagull Taveren and Inn,it's mainly used by the sailors and passengers of the docks,anyone looking for passage normaly comes here to look for a ship or a job on a ship.
theres the write up of what i could ifnd.
Generic enough to work well for forum RP. If enough possible participants agree on it, I think it will work well.
thanks, I wasn't sure of how good it was.
I'd be open to any of the settings from Terry Brooks's books with any/no ruleset; and possibly open to games using 4e D&D or Shadowrun 4e on a setting by setting basis.
I'm afraid I've never read his books, so any setting from them is out if I run this. Games using actual rules aren't what I'm talking about here; this would be more of a throwback to the old OTT RP threads, which, though usually associated with a forum game, weren't always.
I cast Magic Missle at the darkness!
I cast Magic Missle at the darkness!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Well then, my bad!
Though the mutation is probably more recognizable anyway.
)I have some more stuff for the setting,mainly notable locations along with some details on the king's court
Are there any Kitteh nobles, or are we relegated to the ranks of the unwanted?
lol honestly no there aren't any nonhuman nobles at this point due to when i frist tossed this together I hadn't thought about it but if you want to you can have you're Kitteh work thire way up or start as a noble lol
I'm fine with it either way, just tring to piece this character together. Knowing there are no non-human nobles gives me some place to start.
I honestly hadn't given the htought due to the orginial idea for this setting was going to be a short story lol
but now iwth more details:
Notable locations:
The Sword and the Club is own and oeprated by Hans Uana. There are also a number of barmaidns who work for him as severs. You can walk in here and not be judged unless you start toruble at which point you may be politly asked to leave by Hans and if you sya no then the guards may be called. A quite listen can pick up any number of things by overhearing any or all of the conversations, form whos going out with who,to what fish is the highest price to who may be wearing what at the next ball.
The Drunken Seagull Taveren is ran by former pirate Dulu, If you're seeking passge or a job there is a large board filled with notices for everything from looking for ship hands to looking for passengers.
The king's court:
Where is where most if not all of hte poltical intrigue happens. The king is married to the queen but he has been knowen to take a mistress or two. Everone here knows of this but no one speaks of it openly. The king can hand out favors to those hw likes and strip those who have displease of any titles or lands they currently have. The theives guild has a few of the nobles on thire payroll,in order for some things to remain quit the theives guild gets info,along with pressure on the mayor to keep the city guard from going after them too harshly.
I mean, if the city was made more generic than it is now (such as the ruling structure and stuff - that should definitely be filled by OTTers, not a "DM"), I suppose it could interest me.
I've got so many "normal" ideas that I'll never get to play that it would be a nice outlet for them, and even some of my zanier ones, to boot!
As it was brought up elsewhere, I'm beginning to consider putting up another of those OTT RP threads. This may help with getting more regulars (I started posting her because of the second Edition War). If I start it, there probably will not be an associated game. It would be in a generic fantasy setting; I'd rather not impose the limits of my own on free-form RP (at least not in the OTT). So, the question is, how many of you would be interested?
Possibly. I'm starting to get back into the swing of rping again.
and then wen from there lolEh, the more defined things get, the less interested I become. I think part of the "charm" of the old Edition Wars (at least, that I was part of) was the fact that it was bat-poop crazy and everyone had everything going on. I enjoyed the chaotic creation of it all.

Well this stuff is from my notes for a short story i have never gotten around,and thats why it's so detialed lol
"Milkshake," the pig said, pulling out a sack of gold coins from his belt. The bartender looked worried at the changed pig and tried to look at his eyes; the pig looked in the eyes of the bartender and added, "with a side of tomato sauce."
The door to the Tavern flew open and the well known jolly Knight of Pigs walked into the pub and sat down at the bar. He had less of a spring in his step and he looked slightly off. People had noticed that ever since his near-death experience their porcine pal was not quite the same. His once shining, silver armor was now dull and cracking, his blade was nicked and blunted. He wore a hood over his face and a mask covered his face; the only part of his body anyone could see were his eyes, which had a hint of malice in them.
