We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

i'd say stick to the humans.

if they go pre-mage storms, there's only two gryphons anywhere near valdemar, only a handful of kyree and even then only one of them would come anywhere near humans, only one firecat and he won't leave solaris' side, and the type of hertasi that live near valdemar don't speak to humans and do their best not to be seen by them if they can help it. it would be more than a bit difficult to explain them just hanging around the collegium, let alone attending or having attended in the past.

explaining the presence of tayledras, shin'a'in and even haighlei would be difficult enough, but trying to explain a kyree that isn't rris or warrl just wandering around the collegium would be too much of a pain in the ass, i would think.

and that's why i personally would prefer to go with post-mage storms. it opens up such a wider possibility and lets the mods make up where they want to go that hasn't been covered by the books. if you go pre-storms, you're locked into the timeline wherever you choose to start. it can be both exciting for book readers to know what's coming or boring, depending on preference. if it's based on valdemar, there's no reason to replay what's already been done by the 'main characters'. that's my main reason for wanting a more up to date timeline/post mage storms setting, the diversity/range of side characters/npcs being a lovely secondary. plus having a specialized mage class that might work their way up/gain mod approval to have a herald mage (for example) be taught adept magic by the tayledras could make for interesting divergences, along with just fun with magic in general.

i think the mod would have to come up with a good rule set over what abilities can be had/what the limits are/if they can be worked around or boosted with mod approval if a good reason is given. there's so much potential there and i'd love to see this worked up.

see, for me, that's why i'd like to go pre-mage storms, because it will reduce the chance of someone creating their sparklewolf or "look, i'm a reincarnation of vanyel!"

having some restriction helps to keep the special snowflake characters under control.

Sounds like the game concept already includes a point buy system for Talents, though, which should handle that perfectly well on its own?
