Young Writers Society

Welcome my changers of history! Please reserve your slots here, and discuss mechanics, events, etc here too.

Okay, so I'm tagging the people who seemed interested in this when I was posting the teasers (if you don't wish to join, or don't have the time, no worries), as well as people I think would enjoy this type of setting.

May I claim a French soldier??

Young Soldier 1 and French player 1claimed by @TheForgottenKing! Welcome to Rewriting History 101 King!

Awesome setting, and a SB I would gladly join, if it weren't for the character restrictions. This is a really interesting era and setting, yet it doesn't really interest me to explore it as a farmer's son, merchant, cleric et al.

In any case, good luck!

Could I possibly be a farmer's daughter?

@Birkhoff, I understand totally. I wanted to try something different, so I knew some people might not be so interested in it. But thanks for the feedback anyway (btw, I do have another historic SB in the pipeline, and I'll definitely let you know when I plan on creating that... I'm sure you will enjoy that one too)

@Steggy, of course! In what nation do you wish to start?

I'm thinking the Kingdom of France, please!

Question: how much character interaction will be going on? With our characters from so many different backgrounds and areas of Europe, will they all ever be at the same place at the same time?

In any case, I'd like to grab a Lesser Noble's Son/Daughter (HRE) slot, please.

@Wolfical, I put a great deal of thought into that, and the answer is this: at first, there will obviously be a little less interaction with the further away characters (like in different nations), but I plan on using events (historical and of my own design) to drive characters to interact with one another.
Stuff like war, festivals, marriages, funerals, elections, plagues, etc, are examples of these bringing together events...
Once the characters are a bit further up in their respective food chain, these interactions will occur more frequently and spontaneously.
But at the present, interactions will remain among characters of the same region unless planned otherwise (nobles, merchants and sailors will obviously have more freedom at the start than young clergy, soldiers and farmers, who will gain power through time)
Anyway, welcome aboard!!

I'm claiming a spot for a merchant in Venice.

ETA: Looking at the character profile, what does URL mean? Sorry if this is a total SB noob question (it's been a while since I've been in one).

Welcome @niteowl!!!! Your spot is reserved!

No worries. URL means whether you are open for a relationship with another user-played character.

What does that stand for though? :p Isn't it usually UFL?

Sorry yeah... It is UFL... Like I said; I've yet to recover my sealegs after my retirement... Will change it now. Thanks Wolfie (@Wolfical)

I don't blame you for getting those confused!
