[QUOTE="Davon, post: 2565245, member: 88389"] Well, I only realised things were going on cos ISRP was down yesterday and talked to friends while it was....and wow, new format for the boards too (Yup, I am soooo in the loop these days!) Ahem..where was I.....oh, medication...yummm...oh yes, replacement for Juxta...well..... I was never a great fan of Juxta, but it served us well enough....for a replacement I think there are a couple of viable options, namely Somewhere in Faerun (and I do mean Faerun not the wider FR setting) or Sigil. I know next to nothing of Ebberon, but from what little has been said about it, it sounds like a VERY bad fit for ISRP, in a similar way to other more unique worlds in the past (Darksun, Ravenloft (which I liked, but as a come and go ISRP setting would have lost it's proper feeling) and so on) My case for FR has mostly been already made by others, but compared to ANY other setting, more of us intematly know it and can RP it TRUE to itself better than any other option. A lot of us run FR set characters. Finding a good suitable FR 'spot' to have as the new setting is not hard (though agreeing on the best one may not be). A more ordered place then the CRT, but not too hidebound....Arabel, Westgate..if you want to be horribly warm and tingly, Silverymoon...I would council against both Waterdeep (just too damn cliche) and Raven's Bluff (cos of hangovers from the Living City, though I was never involved in that and really like the city on the other hand, so wouldn't mind it on a personal level, it may have too much baggage). It also gives a wide range of conflicts that won't automatically be violent, such as religious disputes between the faithful of a pantheon many of us know inside out, groups that are well document etc. Sigil would be a very good 'close' replacement for Juxta, the portals needed for us all are inbuild...unlike even a major FR city. No religion gives it a unique feel without being over the top. All those odd critters enlarge the possibilities and make some of the oddballs we already have work better. Sigil also offers political/faction plots that won't destabalise in a way they might in FR, it is also (as an inactive current setting) more stable than FR. Lastly, and oddly, that it is NOT FR. In a way FR has benefited from being 'off stage' in ISRP, it is 'active' through characters that come from there and live there, but is not subjet to the events of the ISRP...thus giving in a way those of use with FR characters a haven that is 'ours' to tinker slightly with as we wish behind the scenes, we get to play FR and Greyhawk at the same time, but the former is protected! One BIG downside to Sigil is going to be the misuse of the Cant, and trust me, it WILL happen f we go there! All in all I would prefer to see a wise (don't you roll your eyes at me!) choice of Faerun setting. Sigil as a runner up. And the Land of Frolicing Pixies as a distant 3rd (*gags Dearah* Hush you!)
