Would anyone be up for a fantasy ISRP filled with intrigue? I'm thinking it'd take place in a city, either the capital of an empire or an independent city-state surrounded by larger powers, and have noble houses and diplomats and priests and merchants and guilds and a dozen other factions in a cloak-and-dagger intrigue/fantasy setting. I'd begin this properly over the winter break, but I might do some setup over the Thanksgiving break coming up next week.

So, forgive me for my uhhh unculturedness, lol, but I'm not sure what intrigue is, could you define it real quick?

Sure, that could be fun. Though I’ll make sure not to introduce Arthur, he’ll kill the whole thing somehow.

In the meanwhile, do you have any preference about the setting - capital of a large empire, independent city-state, something in between, bronze-age technology, high medieval-esque, flintlock fantasy, sci-fi-ish, etc.? I have a couple ideas I could work with if you have no preferences, but I'd be happy to accommodate.

I thought of a city nickname, "The City of Silver Bells", and think it might work well for this, depending on some other details about the setting.

I wrote about 1,500 words, and am regularly shocked at how easy it is for me to vomit a few thousand words about random fantasy bullshit when I have such a hard time writing the papers that I need to write for school.
