Proposal - ETW Naval RPG

[M D]

Just a little idea, getting a bearing..


A naval RPG for ETW...
a bit base don Hornblower and Master and Commander with missions etc..
Perhaps no saved games, more forum based like GTSK


Anyone wanna discuss it?

[MuttonChops]

Hmmmm...I can imagine this, Freeing ourselves from over reliances on the game, would be good. We could even go to China

Though we should use ETW for naval battles so that we could get some pics and properly RP the battles

[M D]

yeah.

[M D]

But that would be the captains, admirals themselves... Not the mods or what have you..

[Carl von Döbeln]

I would join

[M D]

ok..
we need a few more
We would start with a lot of NPCs that are mentioned but only one admiral and playable ship to let it start well.

[KoS]

I'd join it, sure.

[Philos Sophos]

I'd join it as well...if it could get enough new d00ds...

[Celsius]

Yeah. I would play

[Raglan]

i'd want to know more about it - especially the forum based bit, since i don't own empire.

the idea could be good but details are needed

[M D]

The game is not needed, excep tif yu want to post a few screenies for effect.
Id be hoping to base it on dice roll like in GTSk.
we would start with one ship and after 2 weeks would slowly expand.

[Raglan]

well, i'm intrigued if not fully convinced - if the game seems interesting i'll join but at the moment i can't see the game itself

[M D]

tis a proposal thats all

[Nole4694]

I have the same problemas LordRaglan

But yeah ill join. Dont fall into the trap that many other RPGs have done, such as the TATW RPG, have a full set of rules before you do anything, and post them here to get reviewed. That way we can get started right away, and avoid ghopefully some of the growing pains

[M D]

Here are th emost basic rules regarding discipline.. IC: http://www.hmsrichmond.org/rnarticles.htm

Forum rules etc. I am making.

[Nole4694]

I have a few questions
1. Will we each have different fleets?
2. Will we all be the same nation?
3. Will we fight each other
4. Will we all have a sorta gathering place? Like home ciy?
5. What nation is it?

[Pendragon]

Seems like a good idea, it's just...
I dont do things that dont involve...
swords and bows... basically I only do medieval crap.

[M D]

I have a basic idea, WHICH IS OPEN TO CHANGE...
At first we will have 1 ship each for 2 nations.. for I feel we wont have that too many members.
Then if we outlast 2 weeks we shall expand one ship at a time.
Each nation starts with 1 admral
We shall fight each other
we shall have a city for homes
first navies I thought could be Britain and UP or France


@Pen
Why dont you do something idfferent?

[M D]

I do need help with the rules however so if anyone is willing....?

[Nole4694]

I might help you out, I need to get a grip on the idea
I propose that we be pirates. hear me out

Its great, we start with one ship each, and we need money to get more ships.
We get money by 'pirating' taking our fleets out and getting loot, and our chances change for each ship yatayata, i could get that worked out. And we can fight eachother to take a portion of other pirates money, and destroy his ships. There will be a hierarchy, the guy with the biggest fleet is leader, and he takes a tiny portion of all gains. Now, pirates can make alliances as well to stave off other pirates. or enter protection of other pirates if you give them some of your money or what not.

What do you think? I have more I can add, and it s really RP centric, and tortoga can be our capitol or something.
