    I voted Faerun, but to be honest, I'd love an adventure on Krynn. Dragonlance is a great setting.

    Oh yeah I forgot about Krynn, Ya one about the war of the lance with Huma would be great. Or the war of the souls which is more dark and less battles of valour, just fighting anyway you could for your life.

    I voted for Past or Present wars. I think one in Russia would be great. Google the war of the rats, it is about what I would like to RP.

    I voted Other World but actually any of them might work for me. I'm a SciFi fan so the future would work for me. I have my Marine I'd like to play. I love the Roman Empire period. Historical. I guess just about anything if I can figure out what is going on.

    I voted other. I'd like to do something in the Future or scifi (BattleTech, Firefly), DnD worlds are okay or anything from other fantasy books - Dragonlance, Valdemar - and something Historical (Earth in Middle Ages or one of the Empires - Roman, Mongol, etc.). I'm not much for RPing in wars of the past 100 years or so, simply because I know nothing of the military aspects to play properly.

    Other for me; I admit that I would love to play intrigue/actiohn (think The Three Musketeers) in a historically accurate setting...

    I'm not too bothered about the setting, as long as I find the RP itself interesting and something I'd enjoy playing in myself.

    Actually now I am thinking that I should have picked another one. ARGH! The more you think of one the more you want to do it. I just read a biography about Alexander. I think that would great or even based upon one of Jack Whytes book, about Caius, Publius, Merlyn, Arthur and the such.

    I voted other and was tginking if someone knowa enough; Greyhawk, Ravenloft, or something post-apocalypse.

    EDIT: Although really the setting doesn't really matter for a new one as long as the Idea is well thought out.

    One thing I forgot to say, is that I enjoyy RPing character interactions more than combat or other stuff - it's one of the major points when deciding to join a RP or not.

    Faerun or another AD+D style setting would be my ideal, though the likes of Warhammer 40k or similar futuristic RP wouldn't be too bad either. Blood for the Blood God! Though to be honestly I have absolutely no idea how the Warhammer/Warhammer 40k RP works rules wise, I'm just familiar with the table top strategy.

    Hmm - really all I know is what I don't want: no standard fantasy, nothing too action focused, no pirates ( :p ). Hmm, not really feeling like standard space opera either...

    If anything I would prefer a darker setting (and no - by that I don't mean vampires :) ). Maybe a 'cyber-something' sort of game, or maybe a dark space opera (think Alastair Reynolds) where things are generally bad and no one's really trying to make it better.

    (not saying that future is the only timeframe where that works - pseudohistorical or something would work too)

    We have to get the final vote between Faerun or other. And who will DM the RP. Any volunteers?

    No, we don't :) Some people will want to join one kind and others another kind. Plenty of room for different types of RPing.

    And I hope we're not going to lose track of the ones we are already playing.

    I think a Dr Who style setting would be cool. Plenty of scope for oddball adventures.

    Mayhaps we should wait for a while, until one of the newer ones slows down? A lot of us have 3 or 4 on the go right now.

    maybe then we could just start one for us newcomers in order to not take away from the existing RP threads. We'd just need some venerable DM to lead us in the right direction and all (I assume).

    So... No one likes my idea of the freestyle RP like we do on Gamefaqs?? Anyone visit the "Chronicles of Yore III" thread on the gamefaqs Baldur's Gate board?

    :(
