Shadowrun, then, but with more overt(ly medieval) social structure. Raiding parties instead of corporate espionage. Evil empires instead of shadowy conspiracies.

Sounds like a vehicle for card-carrying villains / always chaotic evil / black and white morality to me. But all the ingredients are known to work. I feel ambivalence, and conclude that I can work with this, especially writing from the antagonists' perspective maybe. Perhaps I should read Tolkien before I complain about its morality? Alas, no time. As far as I can tell, Bioware and Bethesda pull it off about as well as can be done.

So how will player death be handled, given the increased lethality of bullets and bombs over axes and boiling oil? Will mass civilian casualties be a thing, as per 'modern age', or not, as per 'high fantasy'? (From a quick search, arguments have even been made that Tolkien's battles in part argued against modern, total warfare.)

and hey I still want to start a reverse-timeline RP like I said I would, just, today is bad

Alright, I understand I've said this before - feel free to hate me for it - but I want to stick around. Maybe invite some people over. Even if the forum itself isn't "successful" in the innovative sense, it is still a good clubhouse for our circle if time proves anything.

The modern fantasy sounds great, and I'm getting some ideas for it, but don't want to invest too much into a character without knowing the whole story.

(Unrelated: I want to clean the forum up a bit, but frankly, I'm a bit too amateurish when it comes to web design. Would anybody like to lend a hand? I think I can find a way to lend administrative privileges to whomever is capable and wants to help.)

Do you have any specific ideas of what you would like the forum to look like stylistically?

Modern Fantasy sounds cool. IIRC Eberron would be similar to what the 20's would be if magic powered the industrial revolution instead of coal, but I haven't looked into the setting with great enough detail to confirm or deny that.

d20 Modern also I believe had one alternative form of play that was more modern fantasy, if that'd also help find inspiration.

I am pretty inept when it comes to being artistic. I have nothing particular in mind. I just think the forum ought to freshen up a little bit. The monotone has been a little drab and, if we're to breathe some life here, we ought to liften it some. I'd just say to use "washed out" colors, not saturated ones, so that we can keep the forum from hurting our eyes too much.

Hmmm... I guess I'd prefer to go with the realism of the thing, and enable realistic injuries/deaths, JazzTap! I think that would be best to create a lifelike world. With irresponsible magic use having just as serious consequences as what we could term like, "irresponsible science use," or in other words nuking people just cause you hate 'em. Yeah we'd need to flesh a lotta that stuff out. xD But I'm so willing to do it!

Yeeeah and the reverse time RP, too! That, that I might have more trouble with, but if you wanna spearhead it I'm totally in :P Just whenever you get the time to, is good

For theeeemeeeees... I'm not good with web design, but I can help provide ideas. What if we keep a bit of the old grey, maybe make it a bit darker and mix in one more predominate color of a shade that's agreeable? What's everyone's favorite color? :D

I personally like the grey theme, though a bit more colour never hurts. Perhaps throw some green in to match the icon?

Pastel grunge forum.

You know Rosalina's Color Pallette isn't too much of an eyesore. :P
Though in all honesty I think some nice earthy tones with some greens and blues for grass and sky would be really pleasant. Give the forum the air of ADVENTURE that comes with RPPing yknow.

I can agree with this, for the most part. However, something's holding me back from wanting the sky-blue, and I don't know what it is. Otherwise, this is probably exactly what we need for a new theme.

Well we don't really need the sky blue. It was more of just a little hint of it at the top of the forum thing anyway.

That sounds good to me. Small amount of blue, but not too distracting.

And the Icons could be stylistic to the genres. So High Fantasy could be like a dwarf or and elf head. Scifi would be like a robot. Actually I'm not sure you can be that specific hmmm.

You can make icons for specific uses such as "new posts" and "no new posts", but I'm not sure if you can make icons for specific sections or not.

Ooooh I like this green with a touch of blue idea! I might be able to contribute arts, but I don't know anything about actually putting the files together into a webpage. xP Maybe we could have a contest for the icons and backgrounds and banners and stuff?

It's pretty simple Mata. At least on forumotion. It's simply a matter of uploading the images under the correct thing.

All of the coding is pretty much done for you. A guy with no arms could make a forumotion forum.

What patches said. I'd love to help, but I really have no artistic skills. :c I'd be happy to throw ideas out though. I'm a little familiar with how forummotion works because I was an admin at the Warrior Wolves forum until it's dissipation.

Feel free to acquaint yourself with UrbanEvolution. He'll be helping out with forum design and structure and stuff.

This isn't to suggest the opening is closed, of course. Any trustworthy person with reasonable qualification can still get in on it.

Otherwise, if you have any ideas for the forum, feel free to post them and let him know.

It would appear as if this place has rolled back out of the grave from whence it came. Oh well. Might as well make the best of it.

Apparently it's fluttered on and off. I didn't really notice that it did throughout 2014.

Really? I didn't know it was "back" until Patches skyped me about it earlier today.

So I hear there are some ideas for roleplays out there.
