I don't know anything at all about Spartacus the show, but I know things about Rome, and I have many books on the subject. Admittedly, most are focused on the Army. I could advise, but I'm not confident in my abilities. I'd play the shit out of a Roman RP, though.
 
I COULD GM this. However, like I said. If I GM something thats the only rp I focus on and I get burned out in about 6 months and end up not rping for a while after.

:(  Would having co GMs help with the burnout?  I've burned out in the past too so I know the feeling

Personally I'd say the Middle Ages were more interesting than Rome for the most part. More fucking over your neighbors, less fucking over your friends to try and gain minimal increases to authority and reputation.

Well, given how inter-related all the royalties of Europe were, I would say it more like fucking over your second cousin, figuratively or otherwise :|

There are loads of periods of history that would potentially make great RPs: the Middle ages, War of the Roses, the Colonial Period, the First World War (to name a few) though the problem is there aren't that many people willing to set them up.

And not many willing to be active in the slightest.
 
I've always wanted to do an RP in the viking age too. Nothing more entertaining than stealing some random dudes goats and wife while other people try to rp stopping you and your OP longboats.

Back when England was just a few small kingdoms ripe for the pillaging.

And if you decide to play one of the kings in England you've got plenty of intrigue to manage, while fighting off your neighbors with the added bonus to yearly summer raid via vikings. Holy shit the more I talk about it the more I want it.


Oh, and don't forget as a viking you have to manage raids while also running the risk of other viking kingdoms snatching your lands while you're out fighting to earn a place in Valhalla.

The Vikings DLC is the only major DLC I ever brought for CKII just because it was so fun to run around raiding people.

Alright, if somebody wants to make a Viking Age RP set in Europe, send me a PM and we'll see if I can be perform historical overwatch on the damn thing while also doing a fair share of GMing.
 
Now, I hate to interrupt the flow of the riveting conversation/ plotting of a potential Vikings RP going on above, so I'll keep this short-ish.


Hey folks, name's Clarinetti: I first saw this RP back in the fall and now finally have the chance to dive in and get involved. I'm looking into making a few Tully characters, and might add on a character either from the North or Reach later on, and hope to get the chance to plot with folks sooner than later (Particularly @Lancelot with regards to House Tully). So if you're down to scheme (or just want to shoot the breeze), I'll be around- thanks, and looking forward to getting to know everyone here ^.^

Eh, it's all good.  Welcome to the RP!  :D  Would you have thoughts of retaining Rosyn?  It seems like if you're interested you would be taking headship of House Tully ;)

Thanks, much appreciated ^_^ . I am planning on taking on Rosyn as one of my characters to maintain the flow of what's already happened, though I may make some minor adjustments to her backstory. I'm also planning on expanding the info on some of her other family members as well (Got to represent those Riverlands ;p), but I plan on keeping it limited to 2-3 main POV characters.

Well, she can just as easily fade from the story, having finally decided to retreat to the West to live out her days in comfort and anonymity amongst the many Lannisters.  Just let me know if you want to do anything with her and we can certainly talk ^_^

Mm, I'll play it by ear probably: I suspect I'll end up shifting gears between different characters from the same family over the course of the thread, depending on what happens to them (Ie. Marriage, death, etc.). What exactly did you have in mind with her, may I ask?
