Empire! MW Creative Corner

The location for the MW Empire! Creative Corner community and rules, tips, tricks and discussions not related to a specific MW Empire Game.

Empire is a Collaborative Worldbuilding game originally based on the Crusader Kings II video game and adapted to a play-by-post environment. It has undergone multiple changes through its play on GitP, tuning, wide sweeping changes, and adjustments and will likely adjust as it is played; however, at the heart of the game remains its competitive nature. As said by a veteran and GM of the game on GitP:

Quote

“Empire's whole goal is a possibility space where there are enough voices that you don't just have one or two people dictating the course of events, that eventually comes to a natural conclusion that leaves you with a compelling story.” - TheDarkDM

Just like CKII players get out of Empire! what they put into it and will tell their own stories. Most of the time the story one player wants to tell will conflict with a story another player wants to tell, sometimes they cooperate. This conflict and cooperation is to be expected and even embraced with Empire! just like any kind of Player vs. Player interaction.

Like any other game, be kind and courteous and understanding of the people you are playing with, roll with the IC punches, and try your best to remember it's just a game. (Chimi)

This creative corner aims to explain the Empire! game as well as provide a central location for the community on Myth weavers to discuss the rules, recruit players, provide suggestions and feedback as well as ask questions to run the rules themselves.
