This is an idea that I've sort of been mulling over for a while, and is something I'm just putting out there to see if anyone else would be interested in supporting this. Seeing as how the competitive elements from our RP world have largely been removed, I think it could be possible to introduce a section for retrospective RPing, that is to say, a parallel set of RP subforums to our current MT ones, only in a historical setting, with points of established Orderian history to remain in place, though the events surrounding them could be subject to change in a suitably Whovian manner. With the recent attempts at wartime RP adventures, some setting between 1900 and 1950 could work as a starting point, but this is just an idea.

Overall, to establish and maintain another RP universe would be quite an undertaking, and would require a fairly wide base of support to make it worth while. For the time being, I'll leave this here just to gauge the reaction and go for a little input, though I probably won't look into this seriouly until the summer, when I'll hopefully pick up a bit more spare time.

This is a great idea! Maybe have an RP History sub forum with different topics (user created) for different periods in history?

Just gonna, erm, shamelessly plug this one again a little bit.

Seriously, though, I've been giving this some thought, especially looking back at Tytor's historical RPs in the Other World, and I think there's some milage to get out of this sort of genre. Era wise, anything up to the mediaeval period would be problematic to my mind if only for the problem of scale. Eighteenth or Nineteenth century could be promising, with all the advances in technology associated with those periods in the real world. Maybe building up in the long-term to a recreation of our very own Great War (WW1), as we have discussed doing in the past.

this isn't a bad idea at all, I'd love to rp international historical events. I think we should have event specific historical RPs, something like a world war is too big to RP and keep focus on with everyones main priority being the current MT RP, however I think events, battles, etc could be RP'd individually. I'd really like the flesh out medieval history, Ardian history, specifically the Ardian Empire and both world wars as well as any other events that come to mind.

I think this is a fantastic proposal, especially since it gives opportunity to establish back stories and such. RPing a world war will be difficult but possible if correctly managed. I'd also favor something to do with the Ardian Empire since we could do with fleshing it out a bit (plus it'd give me a chance to resolve a back story that's up in the air.)

Seeing as how our own MT world war sort of ran out of steam, we'd have to pull out all the stops for a historic version to succeed, though it would be easier with an established PT world from which to launch it, as opposed to the slightly awkward one we tired once before to do a WW1 roleplay from.

ACH, if this were to get off the ground, would you be interested in doing the mapping for it? :)

To find out recent modern history I've just looked back and read past post(from last year, year before, etc) since it seems near the beginning of the RP was the starting point of a new era for Mundus, beginning with aggression between Rokk and USR which would define the bases of present day foundation, alliances, etc.
