Troy RPG?
« on: June 20, 2008, 03:06:30 PM »
Just seeing if there's any interest in this. My idea is that each person creates a fictional character to RP, then we throw them all together into Troy and the aftermath(S). ie, The Iliad, Troilus and Cresyde, Odyssey, Aeneid, and Ynglingsaga, plus anything else we happen to create. Not technically LotR, but it's got some related elements....

And we can (to some degree) ignore realism as far as geography goes. For example, I have no problem with incidents in an Odyssey storyline influencing incidents in an Ynglingsaga storyline.


(Ynglingsaga, BTW, talks about how a bunch of Trojans escaped Troy besides just Aeneas, and traveled North. their names were Thor, Votan, etc.)

Wow....

You have just reached an all new level of geekiness, my friend (beating your previous record of the Icelandic Legal Sagas).

I get to be one of the dudes in that horsey thing.

Not unless you want a three-page lecture on medieval Nordic history

Heh.
Alright, I'll see what I can dredge up out of my mind's deepest, darkest recesses of Viking sagas.

On topic though, are there any other takers for this? C'mon! We're talking Troy, here! Big battles, with lots of Greek and Roman gods intervening, and even an occasional Norse one (heck, anyone want to RP a god?)

Well, we can always keep the troublesome ones in check, and in time, we'd end up with a nice selection, being a rascal gets tiring, you know.

none of them are troublesome...its just one can't spell to save his life...you know me? before i got firefox? I am a spelling champion compared to him...aside from that its a person who likes LOTR and horses...and is insane so she would fit right in...and then 2 other people who I don't know much about. they come from that fantically Christian homeschooled site that was started for discussion about a book series...but they are all fairly nice people...(though the one with bad spelling is really annoying to debate against...he's illogical even if you can figure out what he is saying)

SoP could be Athena.

What, and you would be Hera, or something? Haha. Yeah, you could do a pretty good Hera.
SoP: Get 'em over here. We could use some more activity. And I'm sure Dain is just itching to do more enforcement modding. :P
