First of all, I'm not entirely sure about how frowned upon it is to post this here, but I figured it would work better if I singled out the RP community right off the bat. If it's not really acceptable, that's fine, remove it.
Anywho...
I'm trying to get an RP site of my own going. I already have most of the world set up, and my co-admin is working on putting up a list of basic rules and guidelines and things, but the framework is laid out, and it's time to gather a user body.
My forum is called Hearts of Valor, and, basically, what it is is similar to a Lord of the Rings type role playing scenario, but in a totally separate world of my own creation. The type of role playing is very much like common role playing involving small groups of player characters, however, there will be many instances when players will join or organize armies or militias of various sizes and races. That is part of the reason that I picked the name Hearts of Valor. Valor, of course, is representative of courage in battle.
Aside from warfare, Hearts of Valor includes a vast world map, which I will draw and upload for a better frame of reference once I have all the locations plotted, with many different nations and peoples. The RP is free-form, and it is without a leveling system. Rather, rewards come in money, represented simply as coin, and skill units, which can be allocated to four types of skills, mortal, lesser magic, advanced magic, and divine magic. Each skill serves as an enhancement to your player character, making them stronger in battle, while all other forms of combat are, being free-form RP, accessible to everyone. Basically, this means that someone with 100 skill units used can still be beaten by someone with only the starting two units fairly easily, given that the "weaker" player demonstrates skill in battle.
Quests are also customized, for the most part. There will be plenty of staff administered missions involving a wide range of tasks, but players can submit missions to be reviewed and possibly accepted, as well as turn a piece of that party's RP storyline into a mission in order to get a reward from RPing.
