Well, Godspeed on your quest then sir XD I hope you enjoy the game.  I may or may not pick it up once it drops to 20 bucks XD


Edit Add On: Halfway into the first episode, I have to say Sparticus have been surprising good with its story.

I loved the first two seasons of Spartacus, though I never finished the show.

The concept's great, it's actually kinda tempting to make an RP base on what I've seen so far.  The PCs are all men and women from non Roman villages, and Julius just been assassinated.  A very young, generally unsupported but confident Octivian comes to sue for support, and in the midst of the chaos of the civil war they have to ensure that their patron, Octavian, wins the throne of rome, all the while doing their best for themselves and their villages to survive Roman politics (in and out of Rome) and barbarian attacks.  Would be like a historical version of Game of Thrones, but with less castles and knights and more the Wall action XD

I'd love a Roman themed RP. I won't claim to know too much about the period but I have watched a bunch of TV in my time (the historical accuracy of which varies widely) and I've got to say it would make a very rich back drop.

Where's @TheAncientCenturion when you need him? XD 


It would be a great time period, even if you were starting as a Roman politician/officer.  Just the sheer amount of things people can lose makes it a very interesting period to RP in :)

A Roman RP would pretty much be all of the best bits about Game of Thrones but with non of the magic (which is perfectly fine by me) plus since Rome was around for so long there's a great amount of choice into time period (Republic, Empire etc)

I would not mind doing one with you fine fellas/ladies tbh.  Just need someone like @TheAncientCenturion or @Leusis or someone who knows the historical stuff to be willing to GM (or at least advise the GM) XD.  I would say I prefer the shifting during Julius' assassination and Octavian's ascension, but you're right.  Any period would make things interesting (and without the magic Deus Ex of ASoIaF like Dragons and lightsaber V-Steel).  Who would you prefer to play as/what time period? :)

I wouldn't mind any period Caesar's assassination certainly offers a large variety of things to do. I am partial to the period that Spartacus is set in to be honest, around the third servile war, with the entirety of the first triumvirate around and a young Caesar. I do enjoy the republican aspect too since there's a lot more political maneuvering (Moreso than Game of Thrones since there's no elections in Westeros) But I wouldn't mind any period.

For sure about the Republics era, due to elections and such.  Hmm, I've always enjoyed the multiple viewpoints of such a period in history.  The Roman sees themselves as the only beacon of civilization on the planet.  Their auxiliaries sees them as a necessary evil, conniving snakes in the sand, and the barbarians (at least with Attila) sees themselves as the righteous judgment to strike down an eternal city defiled by corruption, greed and debauchery.  What's great is that in a sense, they're all correct XD

Rome makes a better setting than Westeros in that sense since in Game of Thrones it's mostly "Westeros and that other continent which is far less interesting" whereas history has the added benefit of thousands of years worth of expansion so all of it's surrounding countries actually prove to be interesting.

Nothing against GRRM but real life is always so much more interesting than fiction (in most cases at least) I'd love to do an RP based on the War of the Roses too, though I think it may be a bit too complicated to portray in this format.

Mhmm, well often times real life is stranger than fiction.  Even in more recent times, there are many accounts of actual feats in war that they couldn't turn into movies since the producers thought no one would believe it XD 


Ah the backstabbings (literal and figurative) of Roman politics, punctuated by the perpetual wars on the frontiers.  Good times. Here's to hoping that someone would not be as lazy as me and make the RP.
