A nice set of rules, guys. This looks like it's going to be great.
A couple of questions:
1) Where shall we post travel/movements? Do we post in the thread of the region we are visiting, or the region we've left, or will there be a different system altogether?
2) How will movements from settlement to settlement work (without crossing any regional boundaries)?
3)Will we be able to affect the development of technology/magic ourselves (through obtaining a certain amount of resources, perhaps?) ,or will you and Proto determine how the technology of our world will evolve?
It might also be a good idea to register another account exclusively for this game. That way, you won't both get clogged PM boxes.
