For a long time now I've really wanted to gather a band of people together to RP gypsies. I see them as a rather neutral group who occasionally hold festivals and 'caravan' through different areas. Game mechanics give us a good deal of gypsy NPCs and it would be nice to create an 'extended family'. By no means would it be a PVP guild (though I'm sure the band would have at least a small number of adept hunters); more merchants, soothsayers, craftspeople, and the like. If anybody has any interest in a minor alt character to play this type of thing please let me know by PM here. Thank you! _________________ An artist is a creature driven by demons ~Faulkner

I also think it would be a wonderful way to bring thieves back as a RP group. Disguise kits, pick-pocketing...possibility indeed. A wonderful idea. |

Thanks Darrien! It would be a good way to do this. But there is much more in the gypsy lifestyle. I had the honor of living among the gypsies of southern Spain years ago. Yes, there are the thieves and scammers but there is also a wide array of RP opportunity. There are fortune tellers, soothsayers, those who are good with home-spun remedies, musicians, craftspeople, and persons who just want to live 'off the grid' so to speak. Yes it's great to be a super-character be it warrior class, mage, politician, etc., but sometimes it's just fun to play a down to earth traveling person with a song in the heart and a spring in the step.

I think it can go really well, interaction would be very enjoyable with them I think over-all, particularly since they will all be 'free-spirits" sort to say have their own personality, view-points, characteristics etc... |

Sounds like a great idea; no longer got my thief char; but if you need any assistance say the word. |

I'm all for it. Vampires have a lot of history with gypsies. It has great RP potential for many.

I am interested too. I have a few characters that have no roleplay at the moment. It would be interesting to bring them in. Soothsayer or Fortune Teller might be great fun to play. _________________ Grand Duchess Molly Kaldhel

I'm truly thrilled to see interest here. I've been roleplaying several gypsy characters for a few years now, and game mechanics alone give us gypsies!
When it's convenient for people who are interested, get in touch with me and I can start guilding people. I've contacted admin here to go about applying for a membership so the 'clan' can be more formally recognized here in ARPC.
I have a pretty good working knowledge of how gypsy culture works, having lived among them and learned much. I still have a deck of tarot cards given to me by an elder lady of the clan I knew in Spain. I'd be happy to help people understand these people as I do and coach anybody interested in picking up a personality. Unfortunately many of the stereotypes are true (thieving and scamming) but there is also a lot more to explore.
Here's to gypsies! _________________ An artist is a creature driven by demons ~Faulkner
