Hmmm, I don't really know but you have a point |-/ . But if you'll have to depend on me to see if a creature is allowed or not...I don't really have a lot of pieces to build creatures :-P . Oh well, let's say they're allowed. I'll edit the rules. Yes, I will open a new thread on the 4th :-) . Nope, your character doesn't have to be in by Friday. One is free to join and leave as one pleases ;-) . Nah, it's cool :-P .Btw, thanks for letting me know iamded ;-) .

Yes, I've been having this problem for a while now but only the header with the bricks in the background, all the other theme-specific ones are just fine *wacko* .

One pic is allowed ;-) . Sorry if I didn't make myself clear 8-| . I added a section about this in the other thread so it all becomes clearer (I hope) :-) .Here's your champagne: X-D

Sure it's acceptable, but I'd prefer if you'd just post one pic per character not to flood the thread with pics ;-) . Just post the link to the other pic :-) . As for the river, invent one. All landmarks will need to be invented, I'll add these to a second topographic map later on ;-) . Anyway, congrats on being the first to post his character in the character thread :-P .

Is anyone else having the same problem like me? None of the figs in the banner are showing up for me, I can only see the background with the falling bricks :'-( . Not even the EB logo is there, so I don't think it's normal :-/ .

So, did you rebuild the set or do you still remember the time it took you to build it :-P ? You must have a lot of space to keep all your boxes.

Welcome to the EBRP *sweet* ! This thread is reserved ONLY for character registration and general information. All questions and discussion should go here. 1. MAP Dwarves are dark blue ;-) . You can click the map to view a bigger version (warning it's in BMP!) 2. FAQ Q: I'd like to join but I don't want to/have the time to check up on the thread everyday, can I still join the fun? A: Yes, you can. You add content to your story whenever you've got some new ideas or time to do so. You can do this every day or once in two days, once in a week, it's up to you! Q: Can I kill the characters of other players? A: Yes, you can BUT ONLY if the owner of the targeted characters agrees on the fact you wish to finish of his/her character. You can make an agreement on this matter via PM for example. Q: Can there be dragons, sea serpents and trolls? A: Yes, there can be all of those mythical creatures because the listed examples were all available in real Lego sets too. Giants or centaurs are not allowed because Lego never made any of those. If you're not sure about a creature, just trust your gut on it. Brick-built creatures are now allowed too. Q: An RP, eh? Is there any dice rolling involved? A: Nope, there is no dice rolling involved. If you're not sure on what to make of this, you can always check some examples here, here and here. Basicly you write down the adventures of your Lego character. These can interweave with the adventures of characters of other members too. Q: Am I allowed to wage war and take territory of the other factions? A: There can be wars and stuff but please try to keep that at a minimum. And don't start wars just because you want war, make sure you have good, 'realistic' motives. Plus, please try to avoid plunging the entire continent in war, that would be last thing I want ;-) . As for the territory, I don't really like the idea of taking away enemy territory, because I would have to redraw the map the entire time :-P . Q:Are fictional factions allowed? A:No, only the official LEGO Castle factions (and Ninjas) are allowed. Q:How fast can we travel? A:It takes 2 days to cross 1 square when you're on foot and 1 day per square on horseback (dragonback, boat, etc.). *FAQ may be updated with new questions in the future* 3. EBRP RULES 1. General rules * Try to be somewhat realistic. A character with a horse or other mount will travel faster than a character on foot. * Try not to give your character improbably strong powers (for example a spell that kills everone immediatly) or make him invincible. * NO gunpowder. 2. Character based rules * Your character HAS to be a LEGO minifig, NO animal characters like dragons or talking parrots, etc. * Your character cannot be a god with godlike powers. * You can have multiple characters. * Your character has to be part of one of the following Lego Castle factions: Information about the factions can be found here (still WIP, though). Classic-Castle Lion Knights Royal Knights Knights Kingdom KK2 Scorpion Knights Black Falcons Dragon Masters Black Knights Fright Knights Bull Knights Vikings Forestmen Dark Forest Wolfpack Crown Knights Elves Dwarves Orcs Skeletons Ninja *New rules may be added in the future* 4. CHARACTER SIGN-UP * Please try to post only one picture per character. If you have more pics, link to them in your posts. This rule is here not to flood the thread with pics so users with slow internet connection can still view it with ease :-) . * Please use following spreadsheet (or a variant): Name: Insert name here. Age: Insert age here. Background: Summarized background of your character goes here. Faction: Pick one of the above factions where your character belongs to. Class/place in hierarchy: Fill in the characters profession or occupation. Equipment: Describe his basic equipment. Looks: Describe your character or make a pic of him/her and add it here. Of course, favorite sayings and hobbies may be added ;-) :-P .

Nice review *y* . I always felt that this set was a rip-off of the Royal Knights' bridge tower thing set (can't remember the name *wacko* ) or vice-versa (I don't know which one was first). It looks like a cool set though, the only real fortress the Wolfpack has. That's also my problem with this set: since it's their only fortress/castle they have, it should've been bigger |-/ . Your box looks pretty new, did you recently bought this set of Ebay or Bricklink or something?

There can be wars and stuff but please try to keep that at a minimum. And don't start wars just because you want war, make sure you have good, 'realistic' motives. Plus, please try to avoid plunging the entire continent in war, that would be last thing I want ;-) . As for the territory, I don't really like the idea of taking away enemy territory, because I would have to redraw the map the entire time :-P .Oh, I've finished the map so the final character thread will be up today if everything goes well *sweet* . *ATTENTION!* Final character thread is up, see it here. Please keep in mind that thread is reserved for character registration only! Please repost your characters there! The EBRP will start officially on Friday 4th of April.

I want to use them on my map. If I could I would've made them myself, so I needn't have to bother you, but I suck at making decals, I wouldn't even know how to begin on them *wacko* . I've searched the net but I could find any either |-/ . So, that why I need them :-P .

You can already post it here if you want to show it off :-P . But if you don't like doing things twice, wait until the new topic is up :-P . Background can be summed up in the character info.In the meanwhile, I continued to work on the map, behold the new WIP version X-O : @ Pencoin: Maj seems to be down so I've uploaded your pic on BS, here's the new link ;-) .

Do you (the decal makers) make shield decals too? If so, would it be possible to make some for the following shields: Thanks in advance :-) .

There will already have to be boat farers to go from the main island to the smaller surrounding islands ;-) .

Yes, I was planning on doing that, but I was going to wait until I had finished the map and we were all set to go, to do so. I didn't wish to overwhelm the forum with threads about this :-) .

Thanks to everone who voted for me :'-) ! Really thank you, thank you!!! Thanks should also go to Sinner for organizing this great contest and copmike for volunteerily donating the prizes :'-) *sweet* .

I don't really get what you mean with a random map *wacko* , but every faction will have territory :-) . It'll be up to you, though, to invent the cities in those territories, so basicly you can put Dragons Keep where you want in DM territory ;-) .Yes, you can include pics but it's not obliged to do so ;-) :-P . Here's a WIP version of the map. I'm still thinking on how to put a grid on it |-/ . The final version will be much sharper though, I just saved this one as a .gif so everybody could view it without any problems. DM are orange :-P . Click the thumbnail to see the full version, again, final one will be bigger and sharper I still need a shield for the Undead, Dwarf and Ninja factions, so if anyone could make a shield decal for those I'd be very grateful *sweet* . I'll try to take care of the Orcs myself.

Other characters can be killed BUT only if the owner of the targeted character agrees with you on the fact you want to kill the character. But try not to kill the other characters :-P .Yes, there may be dragons, trolls and sea serpents because those creatures were/are in real Lego sets, but giants for example aren't allowed because they don't exist in Lego world ;-) . As soon as we have a map up, we will be able to play. Basicly you start on a random spot on the map and you start writing the adventures of your character. See here, here or here for examples. Basicly your first question comes the closest to the answer :-P . See the links I posted in my reply to dragonator's questions for examples :-) . Again, please see the links I posted above :-) . And no, they're not like rugby X-D .PS: I added one more rule: no gunpowder is allowed ;-) . @ Pencoin, if you want, I could make you a better picture, I think I've got the pieces to make your guy |-/ . Oh and don't take the secret transport thing over the top, like making a sub or something :-P . I'll make a new topic later were you'll be able to repost your character(s) so we can have them all in one only-characters-thread.

You guessed it right *sweet* ! Cookie for you X-D ! I wasn't aware there were tons of rules for the CCRP *wacko* . I thought there were only rules on how strong a character can be, etc..Anyway, before everyone starts submitting characters and stuff, we should iron out some basic rules first. How about: 1. General rules * Try to be somewhat realistic. A character with a horse or other mount will travel faster than a character on foot. * Try not to give your character improbably strong powers (for exemple a spell that kills everone immediatly) or make him invincible * NO gunpowder 2. Characters * Your character HAS to be a LEGO minifig, NO animal characters like dragons or talking parrots, etc. * You are allowed to have multiple characters. * Your character has to be part of one of the following Lego Castle factions: Classic-Castle Lion Knights Royal Knights Knights Kingdom KK2 Scorpion Knights Black Falcons Dragon Masters Black Knights Fright Knights Bull Knights Vikings Forestmen Dark Forest Wolfpack Crown Knights Elves Dwarves Orcs Skeletons Ninja Suggestions are welcome of course :-) .

Neat idea, medievalizing a standoff :-P . I love the simple but effective look of it and the way you made those tullip-like flowers *y* .

I saw this on Brickshelf and loved it. I really like the way you did the landscaping. Great idea *y* !

Welcome to EB Nikola! I like metal too, just not really the genre you like :-P . You're more of the death/black metal type aren't you? I like the old school heavy metal better, Iron Maiden and stuff.

You can make up your own character, but he has to make part of a Lego Castle Faction, like in my example, Falcorn is a non-existing Lego character, I invented him BUT he's part of the KKI faction. Do you see?

@ Shadows: Glad to see you want to participate but let's get thigns straightened out first and talk characters later. The one I posted was merely meant as an example :-P .

I started with: Sabotage - The Beasty Boys Self Esteem - The Offspring Right now it's: Rollin' - Limp Bizkit; one of their only songs I like, the other one being Break Stuff :-P .

Glad to see some reactions :-) . First of all, let me elaborate myself a bit further. With RP I mean something along the lines of this (here's another example. You enter a character (belonging to an official Lego Castle faction of course ;-) ) and start a story with him/her. During your adventures you can team up with characters of other members and have some wicked adventures together. Savvy :-P ? Character exemple: Name: Falcorn Age: 32 Background: A lowly peasant turned adventurer. Faction: KKI Class/place in hierarchy: Self proclaimed defender of the Alliance Equipment: sword and shield Looks: you can insert a pic here or just describe how your character looks like Post example: O-12; Foxey Inn (we'll need a map first of course :-P ) Falcorn did something and talked to someone. That someone was very short and said his name was Dimple-Chubb Bobbins. Cookie for the person who knows who I based the example (Falcorn, that is) on X-D . I hope that helped clear things up a bit. As for the factions, to be honest I'd like it better if there were more than just the Fantasy (Crownie) ones, it just offers a lot more possibilities.
