Looking for players

[Robert Laurel]

I would like to do RPs with the technical setting the Napoleonic wars tech or Victorian/World War One tech. Probably a lot of steampunk. Tar Valon would have the position of Great Britain.

So a rev one RP

 

Well I been feeling like doing something lately like create, but has had issues focusing to sit down and do anything artsy. I could try RPing I guess as long as I don't have a main rolle - cause my life is a rollercoaster lately so never know what's next that need my attn

[Robert Laurel]

For the Napoleon RP there would be muskets, cannons and primitive steamships. For the VictorianWW1 RP there would be zeppelins, pre-dreadnought ships and primitive heavier-than-air planes. Also machine guns. Development of primitive tanks later. Limited use of Channeling because it could quickly get too destructive. The Seanchan and Shara against everyone else.

Raken? So sort of like in the temeraire books you got live flying beasts to drop bombs on boats, and be shot at by canons if they come to close?

I was thinking like the raken died out or that they would be too vulnerable to the airships and planes.

[Liitha]

Depends...a live animal is more acrobatic/agile, so it has its upside to a machine...it just depends on setting and whatnot

 

And in Napoleon time there was no planes, and air balloons would be rather at a disadvantage to something that's not dependant on hot air and wind to move around

[Robert Laurel]

Aircraft only in the WWI type scenario. But he did employ balloons on one occasion.

[Liitha]

Lol  by now I forgot most of school teaching of it, my knowledge of it is the temeraire series which while fantasy, loosely follows the general storyline

 

Air balloons weren't menchoned much there but in an alternate reality where dragons exist it would have it's impact on strategic choices...and air balloon vs dragon...

Raken and to'raken is a more dimmer down version. With smaller size and no "magical" abilities like wind or fire blowing...they could add an element but far from. Be as important as dragons was in temeraire books

In the WWI scenario I was thinking by having the war start by a thousand zeppelin raid on Tar Valon and a baval bombardment of Tear that devastates the city because some shells hit an oil refinery.
