i, personally, was trying to think how to fit the IOM into Castlequest.
CQ has its base in gaming, but it is meant to be like the iom, and castleworld.
live long enough, you can have your very own city which you are gamemaster of.
however, i was thinking this, which would get more interest in both CQ and IOM:
Have the IOM on one island, or isle, and have the coast of the CQ world across
from it. this would be an ocean of, say, eight hundred miles. this would
provide people torn with pirate and castle (like me) to put pirate to use. you
could have pirate ships, or evil ships, or merchant ships, or whatever. there
would be limitations, of course, such as flying, or sailing. no motor powered
boats, i would think. you could have trade between the two, and perhaps
establish rules for you to either have your character on another persons ship
or get your own ship, which you could then add on and add on and protect it
from elements and enemies. (another main part of CQ.)
What do the rest of you think?
