The Persian Review
Welcome to the first edition of the realm’s newsletter! Pearls of Persia is a historical fantasy world and story that has been running for almost two years, and the subsequent realm has almost reached its one year anniversary. The goal of this newsletter is to highlight any updates to the realm, future projects, and our goals for progress.
I’d like to start off by thanking all my players in both the original Persia story and the following tale of Enterprise! GMing two stories in the same universe is a big feat for me, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my immensely talented players. I owe it all to you guys!
Without further ado, let’s take a look at:
- What’s New
- Upcoming Projects
- The Current Realm Goal(s)
What’s New
December 18th saw the advent of our first player-run side saga The Princess and The Blades, run by our very own @rissa! Shout out to rissa for doing a wonderful job of curating a tale within the deep reaches of Nubia. Interested in joining? Reach out to the GM and see how you can play a part.
Last month marked the first run of a monthly sandbox rp A Turkish Delight. A sandbox is a jump-in, quick and short post style rp that requires no character sheets from players and runs for a limited amount of time! Unfortunately, this one did not garner much success, but there’s always next time! Shout-out to @Nemopedia for giving the sandbox a try!
Are you new to the realm and have no idea how to start? Check out the handy Introductory Guide to get a good grasp of the subforum layout and its rules; there is also a realm discord available for those who prefer offsite chatter (and memes). Joining it is not a requirement for being involved in the realm, but it is handy for quick replies and collabs! Have a question that you just can't find the answer to? Check out our handy Help Desk (a.k.a. Ask the Shah) and ask away!
Upcoming Projects
Last summer, I promised: a new main saga, a new lore addition, and a sandbox event. We’ve managed to accomplish two of those goals; the focus for the next few months will be expanding on the realm lore. New topics that will gain more info are:
- Persian myths and legends
- Expanded lore on the Nubian kingdom
- A new mystery race??? More details to come!
- A new map that isn’t horrible (hurray!)
What does this information mean for you? Nothing! Just sit back, relax, and indulge in my nerdy ramblings at your leisure.
The Current Realm Goal(s)
For the duration of the next few few months, the goal for the realm is to get more 1x1s. That’s right; we don’t have any running 1x1s right now, and I’m hoping players can change that. Don’t be shy! You’re free to explore and write within the realm’s lore as you see fit. I’m always available for questions. As an added bonus, you can even tag me in your 1x1 at any point and enlist me to write a short scene if you and your partner would like outside stimulus. Unsure of what stories to start? Not to worry! Take a look at the History of the Ages thread for sample plotlines. All requests for sample plotlines can be made here.
Happy roleplaying, everyone!
