OKAY. BEFORE I LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT...
So I just watched Total Recall, and an idea sprouted.
Modernized fantasy world, but all the technology is powered by magic. [in other words, magitek].
Of course, there'd be medieval aspects mingled in with the modern settings...
Maybe cities would look like this;
http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy+city#/d2px3fm http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/164466850#/d2kcepd http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/164466850#/d1w8fur
Now, imagine elves in formal suits and dwarves in trenchcoats walking those streets.
Oh, andddddd, so it wouldn't be so open-ended...
There would be these historical ruins spread about the map- major tourist attractions. They'd be the remains of your typical medieval fantasy kingdoms and cities. However, a select few individuals discover a truth about these ruins through some investigation.
When their current leader rose to power, who happens to be a wizard of sorts, he oppressed the resentful and reluctant citizens of [INSERT WORLD NAME HERE] until most of these cities had been abolished. Then, he reconstructed the world and made magic a fundamental and dominant groundwork of his new creation.
SO YEAH. Railroads powered by magic, airships powered by an elemental...
Eh? |

AGH, left out a crucial detail.
The 'Resistance' dwells in the underground strongholds beneath the ruins. It's composed of survivors from the destruction of [NAME OF WORLD], and many modern folk who resent this worldwide dictator. |

| I like it! Thread name should be something like "Magitek". |

"Magitek" is a sort of sub-genre.
It's definitely not going to be titled after that. |

| And, you can imagine the modern citizens using modern day guns [powered by magic] battling an army of medieval fantasy rebels with swords and bows. |

| Okay, well maybe the guns wouldn't be entirely powered by magic. I don't know. |

One other thing I'd like to point out;
These pictures display very broad cities. However, I don't imagine the cities in this said world to be quite as large. |

I'd join.
Not sure if that counts as anything.

Oh, it counts Gav. YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT COUNTS.
Although, how would we orchestrate this? Would we design the entirety of the world, and thus have to describe each race, city, and ruin? And perhaps more? |

Maybe.
I don't know why.
But I want to take styles from our past, and somehow incorporate them into the Roleplay :) |

| Well count me in for joining. How many races would you need in it? How big is the world? I will help if you want me to. |

If we're going to craft a world and go into plenty of detail, I will need plenty of help.
And, sure Gav.
@Duck,
Mm... I don't know. We could perhaps use the generic fantasy races and then design some of our own. And, I've no clue how large this world will be, though my preference is a relatively small world so we won't overwhelm the RPers with too much detail. |

| True, true most people like it so it is detailed but not to much of it. Yeah you would need the basic races and designing new creatures that people have never heard of would be awesome. |

Tai.
I have the perfect Idea.
Mods & Rockers.
This was pretty much two severely conflicting youth groups in Brittan. The Mods were like the mellow, almost flower power like, liked to dress nice, etc.
While the Rockers were the guys wearing the leather jackets, biker boots, causing trouble, etc.
OR
We could completely go like Punk or something :P |
