I miss Melkor (3rd Gnome IR) :)

Thanks Pielorinho.

After further discussion we have decided to take a poll.
We are willing to hold the game either 1 BC or in the 1900s as outline above, wither way it will be a Mythic earth setting. If you wish to participate please indicate which year you'd prefer and the country you'd claim for either setting (they can be different). I'm more likely to take Atlantis as a viable choice in the 1 BC game ;p.

 

[Gurdjieff]

IF 1BC; I'd claim the Celts. Celts rock.
IF 1900; I'd claim Russia.

Both are good for me, but are you planning to invoke the IR in 1BC?

 

[Lichtenhart]

My vote goes straight to the BC world, so we won't tangle ourselves in modern religions, and we can have technology evolve in different directions. At that time Chinese already knew gunpowder and rudimental theories about flight, Egyptians, Babilonians and greeks knew more mathematics than people 1000 years later, and Romans could build things it took us 1500 years to discover again how to.

 

[Kalanyr]

Yeah what Lichtenhart said, no IR as such, but I suppose its possible you could advance tech several hundred years if you really must .

 

[Knight Otu]

Thanks, Pielorinho!

I'd also vote for 1 BC.

I wish for $1.000.000.000 to be deposited on my bankaccount today. Thank you.

Done, and you're welcome. But if Piratecat hacks into your account and steals the money and changes the bank records so it looks like the deposit never happened, you'll have to take that up with him, not me.

Piratecat hmmm *insert evil laughter right about.... here*


On topique: 1 BC is fine with me as well. Be prepared for NBC: Nukes Before Christ! =]

Zelda, I believe Edena may be travelling. He sometimes takes a few weeks to travel somewhere in the U.S.

If we are doing a Magical Earth, I think we will get more interest with 1 BC than 1900. (Kalanyr, you could take a poll.) If you do 1 B.C., do a little reading on the Library of Alexandria and science in the ancient world. (Mark Clover recommended a book to me on the topic. Suffice it to say that you may have more freedom to alter things in 1 B.C. than only 100 years ago.)

This sounds very interesting. Could someone give me a short summery on what a IR is? And if it is open to new players who where not involved in it before. If so I would like to give it a try.

Oh my vote would be for a 1 BC type setting.

Glad to help out. IR is short for Industrial Revolution. Some years back, Edena of Neith wondered what would happen if gnomes started an industrial revolution on Toril, the world of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Edena's question soon became a game, in which the Realms were reshaped by war, magic, and technology. This was followed by the 2nd IR, where former enemies united to protect their world from many threats.

Back in 2002, Edena started a 3rd Industrial Revolution set on Oerth, home of the World of Greyhawk setting. I was involved in that as a player, and the nations of Oerth (and beyond) went to war. (You can check out the archived IR. Creamsteak, can you be kind enough to send Gomez to the relevant links?)

Players controlled nations and had characters representing leaders of those nations.

Kalanyr and Festy Dog are DMing, so they can answer your questions. I think we should open up an IR to anyone who makes a commitment to stick with it. So, Gomez, I hope this helps.
