Knights and Barbarians, Shamans and Soldiers, Warriors and Priests, Ladies and Whores...
Not enough? We've got more--many of them dependent on your imagination. If you're creative, a good writer, and willing to try something new--this is the site for you.
So just sit back, buckle in, and Prepare for War...
The Baskar call the pale-faced strangers interlopers. They call themselves Thiasans. And they're out to crush the so-called barbarian opposition once and for all in what promises to be a long and bloody war. Barbarians? Just because their warlords marry their own sisters and they worship the sun as a God? The Baskar hardly think so. No, it's the Thiasans who must be conquered, with their castles and manor-houses, their arrogant King and brutal soldiers... their cannons and iron swords...
Come to think of it, the Baskar wouldn't mind getting ahold of some of those superior weapons... illegal arms traders, you say? It doesn't hurt that some of the Baskar are willing to trade a plant called datura--a potent hallucinogen--in return.
Then there's the plot to kidnap and sacrifice the Thiasan King to appease the Baskari Sungod...
...a prospective Queen so ugly she's thrown the country into an uproar...
...and no heir to be seen, apart from the weak and diffident Prince Fergus, the King's younger brother.
Let's face it, we're in trouble.
Welcome to Thiasa.
And for those who've read this much of the ad, some Site Trivia:
-We just won RPG-D's Forum of the Week award--a fairly big deal, apparently.
-We had 30 members within a week of opening, and we're still growing.
-We encourage original characters, as long as they fit into our world.
-We also have so-called 'canon' characters, mostly ones connected to characters we're already playing, and generally very broadly described--often, we won't even assign them a specific age.
-We never require you to use a certain play-by.
-'Thiasa' comes from a Greek word. Ten points if you get the reference.
-Thiasan culture is based on Medieval Italy and France, and Baskari culture is based on the Sioux and the Aztec. Animal spirits and human sacrifice--where can you go wrong?
-A bored college student made up most of the site information. It took longer to compile the information on the Baskar than it took her to write a term paper on the philosophy of consciousness.
-Our cbox is unfiltered. That's right, you can curse in it.
-Come on, you know you want to join now.
