I'd like to play barbarians, like a german tribe under the empire Or whatever passes for vikings.

Under the empire? As in being subservient to the rest of the states? Or simply another state that happens to be barbarian?

Another state, the area is largely populated by barbarians, but is perfectly fine with being under the empire.

Hmm. Maybe House of Stark style northerners with connection to wolves.

Will your House have the same saying? "Winter is coming."

Hopefully I'll be more imaginative than that.

Heh, yeah.
Alright. It seems there's enough interest to start some recruiting. I'll open up a thread here to allow you guys to get first dibs on the spots. I'm thinking maybe 8ish players. Tomorrow I'll start one on GITP.

Just curious, will magic be a stat in this game? I've got an idea for a sort of magic-oriented cult, though if magic will be minimal in this setting I can easily just say this knowledge was lost.

While magic is a stat, remember that you are supposed to be playing a small state. Organizations are fine, I guess, but only as long as they are in control of some land.

Could we get more information on the world and neighboring powers?
What sort of religion dominates the empire? A single monolithic religion? Freedom of religion? Monotheistic/polytheistic/pantheistic?
Also dibs on the Lizard Pope.

The world is pretty hostile, with two large empires bordering the players. They have been at war with the players and each other more than once, and are currently in a bitter peace. There are a couple of other nations in the near vicinity, but they are not as important as those two.
The religion part I leave up to you guys. I want the Empire to be as player created as possible.

Well, for religion, we could easily make up a pantheon- each player design a god.

That could be an idea. Kinda like a greece mythology kind of thing. All believe in the entirety but each focus on one area.

Personally, I'd prefer to keep it a bit more open-ended, building the world as we go. That way, there's more room to develop our own factions' cultures and religions and such, or play off of each others'.
