You are right about Disney movie .... historical rp is not one, you don't need to be loving history and social history, but if you want to rp at least try to learn the basic and what was happening that year or that month in whatever year you are. I once wrote a bunch of characters' backstories, no one wanted to play the impoverish countess, or the clebtomaniac marquise ... I think what is interesting about a rp character is also her or his shortcomings and faults.

thank you for your comment Mercury, you are right, there is a need for action in a rp, if only two different "clans" helps ... and giving people a storyline and a way to rp is a good think too.

Dont be sorry for your speech, it is an interesting point of you. I think in a way the further back we go in time, the hardest it is for us to grasp what people were and how they tought and acted. Late Victorian and Edwardian time are interesting indeed. The Rococo period was not all about court, many grand nobles or less grand ones, spent only 4 months a year at court, enjoying their estates or visiting nearby friends, hunting, and the craze was in France theater, some were build in estates, most ofen a stage was set up in a big room and nobles will act plays. Thank you for you comment Viscount Malden, and you can spend you life travelling, some people never showed their face at court ...

Very interesting ideas Shalimar. Bringing some fighting is not a bad idea. I thought once about Louis XIII, the dislike between the Musketeers and the Cardinal's guards. Families interacting with each other is also a nice idea, you need more people to start the rp though if you want to receive for house parties, hunts etc ...

I love history and social history from 16h to pre WWI. That is why I started this discussions, to see what time and place people were more likely to like. What is important is to have a good build, a good rp and people who are willing to immerge themesleves in the era, lean a bit about it. I always said if you do a rp keep it open 6 months at least to give it a chance to get its public. Thank you for your comment Tiamat.

You are right about that Count Sheremetev, people don't take enough time to dig into social history of the time and place they rp in. I am a big history fan, especially of the way people live, I have numerous books about the English, French and Russian way of life in the past, some also about Italian and German states. I think to create a good rp you have to involve a bit of the political turmoil or what interested people in those times ... tea parties, dances and dinners can be part of it too of course, but there is more than that. Thank you for your comment.
