I was just wondering if there are any players out there who would want to roleplay quests, storylines, kingdoms, adventures, etc. that have a more traditionally medieval vibe, including more medieval standards of gender roles and acceptance (or non-acceptance) of magic (or at the very least, certain types, methods, and applications of magic), more medieval society thinking of government and rights, more medieval methods of battle and war, etc.
It would be more of a low-magic setting in the Overworld than other places (not so "low" as to be Game of Thrones level, but more so traditional Medieval tales of magic and the like), and would probably have to be located a good distance away from current Overworld countries.
Essentially, the setting would have the usual tropes of:
Women "can't" be knights and are expected to be home/baby makers.
Lords and their sons have a heavy obligation to their titles.
Those not born of the noble class have "no hope" of ever being a part of the noble class.
Dark Magic is "evil" and practiced by witches and warlocks. Holy Magic done by priests is OK. Arcane magic by wizards, etc. are accepted depending on the reputation and allies of the person practicing it.
Dragons are rare and generally thought to be evil (and must be destroyed!)
Lots of superstition about the Fae and other magical / supernatural creatures.
The usual sort of society challenges that help make for conflict and friction for which stories can thrive. I don't really have any more thought or planned out, because I first wanted to see if anyone would even be more willing to "deal" with a more traditional medieval atmosphere.
I would also like the area to be more "sandbox" as well in that the players wouldn't have to "ask" before jumping or joining other scenes (but their characters would, of course, have to bear the consequences of it), but I also know that most people prefer not to be bothered when they're in a scene.
Anyway! Let me know!
