I've got a lot of catching up to do then.

[Aninimouse]

And, now that a lot of you are here, I'll repeat this:

Also, out of curiosity, what kind of other settings would you guys want to see in a Medieval-Like Game? I'm sure Medieval will eventually start to get a little old, (That definitely won't be any time soon, I'm just asking this really far in advance) so after a long while I/We might end up shelving it for a while. I'd still like to continue GM'ing stuff until Medieval makes a return however...

As I said there, I am asking this really far in advance, but I would like to make early preparations so I'm entirely prepared for any future Medieval-Style RPs on these Forums.

Hhhhm, I would say something in the Gaslamp Fantasy genre, but that can be tricky to set up.

[Tiruin]

Something like deities having control in the world, not being intangible only, walking the earth as random mortals for their own reasons.

And a plot that would draw most of the main characters together maybe? High death rate 

Maybe...passages to another world that exists as magical/realistical somehow?

Is there anywhere where I can find an explanation of enchanting and how it works?

Also: Gaslamp fantasy or Steampunk. Yeeee

You use Enchanter's Runes to extract energy from Arcanite Crystals or Enchanted Items, and that fills the Enchanter's Runes with EP/Enchanting Points. You then use those to enchant stuff, or in a Necromancer's Case, permanently raise minions.

A lot of deities in Medieval are already like that actually.

Hhhhm, I would say something in the Gaslamp Fantasy genre, but that can be tricky to set up.

I hadn't even heard of that until now, but it did remind me of the semi-experimental game I have going on my private forums. (I play Medieval with some of the 4-5 year veterans there, for old time's sake, and to dump my wacky ideas/tests on them so I can see if they're worth doing elsewhere.)

It's a continuation of Medieval's story, but set far into the future. Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Dragons, the Undead, and Magic were all still around. (Although after certain events, Magic in the human race had died out a bit, but it was still relatively common.)

As for technology, most of it would probably be comparable to the technology of the 1920's-40's-ish times, firearms, telephones, automobiles, etc. but it was relatively varied simply due to how differently things worked out with magic, and our beloved, industrial Dwarves. For instance, the dwarves had worked out how to build your generic fantasy-style Airships quite early on, and fixed-wing aircraft suffered for it.

Its pretty hard to explain in one go now that I actually try to... But do any of you find that remotely interesting? (And is there an actual 'name' for that style of fantasy?)

Freakish hybrid gnome arcanist/white mage.

You answered the enchanting question twice.
And the only thing I can think would cause them to arrest me is either the abandonment thing, or the tattoos. I won't start changing my actions to trying to get back in, but I wouldn't be opposed to being circled back into what's-it.

[thatkid]

By Enchanter's Runes do you mean "Enchanter's Runes Charging Crystal?"
Or do I basically only have part of the whole Enchanter's Runes thingamajig?

Please, do accidentaly stumble upon Ursiva's graveyard.

No, the 'Enchanter's Rune Charging Crystal' is a tool used to very slowly charge Enchanter's Runes over time, at no cost. Enchanter's Runes are small, magical stones used to hold the Magic used in Enchantments. (EP)

Ohhh awesome.

Gaslamp Fantasy and Steampunk are pretty loosely defined (Reeve's Mortal Engines series is classified as steampunk and it's in a vastly different era and style than most others) so it would probably be defined as a Gaslamp fantasy.
I would definitely be interested.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm. I sort of like schizotech, where you can, for example, have rapier duels aboard zeppelins.

[Lillipad]

The Gaslamp/Steampunk basic synopsis you gave seems like it could be fun. I'd play it if you put it up.
