I've been very busy as well, it's really no issue, I just don't want to let this die out after everyone spent all this time already. I'm glad you're still playing!
I'm perfectly fine with doing some RP, and I really like Daryun's build as well =)
We would definitely need a page to RP on!!

I'm not quite sure what this means -- do you want me to make an introductory post and just let everyone RP for a few weeks while the rest finish characters, and we'll start slowly weaving the threads of the narrative, establishing character relationships and all that?
How would everyone feel if started everything off with a post, but with the understanding that we're just RPing for a few weeks to get things moving while everyone finishes mechanics.
I was referring to this, and I believe that Hym/Num was too.
Still on holiday but checking in. Shouldn't take long for me to finish things up when i get back. RP to start off would be fine. Would that just be opening a gameplay thread?
yes, that's what I mean -- you'll start out in one of the Mongol advance camps headed to Bukhara.
I opened the game play thread here with a couple of posts. Now, that I've started this, I realized it's really going to take a couple of pages of posts to even establish who all the who, what, why, where, and who the relevant NPCs in the Monogol Camp are. I'm trying to make sure I put in clarifications on things, like explaining what cities and nations are, but I'm sure more will be needed.
The basic set up is that you're in the camp of Genghis's son Jochi and his elite general Jebe, a smaller detachment of the main Mongol force being sent over the Tian Shah Mountains into Persia in the middle of winter. I couldn't find anything on the exact route they used, so I'm just assuming it cuts through an area with a significant lake and the highest peak, which is significant to Tengrism.
You're stopping for the night in the middle of winter, and I started to describe that. I have a map I'm working on and some area maps to post that will help to situate things more.
Let me know if that's enough to get started.
Seb, are you still accepting PCs for this? And are the restrictions on 3pp rules(PoW, Spheres, etc) still in place??
