We had a long-running (for RP) sword and sorcery site that I had to close down due to ill health and real life kicking all of our core members in the teeth. We're all still together on the Discord and working on re-opening the site. The Chronicles of Aereth is a sword and sorcery roleplay set in a universe that has many parallels to our own. It also has many differences. The laws of physics do not always work the way they do in this universe. Where they fail, magic steps in. A Traveler, Earth humans that wind up trapped on Aereth via one of many malfunctioning arcane portals, would see mighty Pleistocene era megafauna that is long extinct on Earth. They would also encounter species from some of Earth's mythologies. There are intelligent dragons that work with the Sídhe to keep the world safe. Kraken roam the seas, vicious wyverns and terror birds wait to tear people from limb to limb. To top things off, there is the classic struggle between good and evil. I'd love some comments, suggestions, ideas. Rest assured that if we use any of it, you will be credited.

@Arceus I cannot even begin to state how totally jazzed I am over Gaia. It is gonna be THE THING! Having a software less nich-y than Nova that is designed for roleplayers by a roleplayer is...well...I don't don't why it hasn't been done yet. Nova gets close and Nova 3 sounds like it will be over the top fantastic. However, unless they make mega changes, it will still be mainly oriented for science fiction, Star Trek, etc. I am the untechie, however, anything I can do to help - hit me up! PS: I so love the name too! Gaia! Awesome!

I may be putting this topic in the wrong place. If so, am sure Morrigan will tell me to move it. Here's a little background: In the past, as a Game Manager/Admin, I have had nightmare players slip through the chinks in my character applications/bios. By that, I mean suddenly adding all kinds of things not accounted for in the bio (powers, skills, abilities, etc). When taken to task over it and told to rewrite, there is an all-out fight because the bio/app did not ask for that information. As a result, I have gone the paranoid Admin route and tried to cover everything in my bio forms. I am upgrading my three RPG sites and want to revamp my character applications/bios to be as minimalist as possible without shorting the information needed and without leaving us open to truly major issues. Each site is different: American Wild West (1870s), Modern Cinematic Real Life Action Adventure/Mystery, Swords and Sorcery Fantasy (I know I will have to keep some info on magical powers in the bios). Please provide suggestions and feedback. I really need help! I know my current bios are too long and involved and out-of-date. However, please, please, give me ideas, suggestions, and feedback without the I hate applications side of things. I know there are players that simply loathe doing apps. I am never going to eliminate them completely. I do sincerely want to make changes though. Help me! Below is what I consider to be a bare minimum, but if I can shave more off it by maybe expanding character rules or something, hit me with it! Here's my rough draft / revisable minimum list of information fields. Basic Stats / Information Relationship Status Appearance stats (height, hair, eyes because the playby might vary slightly from the character). Short fields for job info, etc. Skills, Abilities (fantasy / magic site) Personality: Need most detail here. Background: Relevant family, friends, foes; timeline of major life events. Here is an example of what I have now for the action/adventure: Bio Template (it's similar to the western). Thank you all!
