I think you could have a lot of fun with the Norse myth cycle.

Kevin Crossley Holland wrote a wonderfully readable and entertaining version.

Well gor should not be all about sex anyway. I would think you need to work out a story frame so you can have some guide lines, if your looking at gor well panthers were not a major part of it not like they seem to be in the RP of gor in here. Why not try for something away from the gor line since in Gor women dont fight. If your having it gods and goddess you could maybe look into greek mythology

No sex in a Greek God sim? I seem to recall Zeus being characterised as the most unfaithful husband in history! :rolleyes:

True - much safer to stick with the Norse. It was too cold for them to take their clothes off very often.

Oh, hang on, there was that one time Freya slept with four dwarves in exchange for a necklace (it was a very good necklace). I also seem to remember something about Loki and a horse ...

The trouble is, I think, whenever you get a good pantheon going, they're going to ... um ... The only way to avoid it is to go for a monotheistic god, but that severely limits the RP opportunities, added to which, it might upset a few people.

Well, we know which one *you* made yourself in the image of, but what which one would everyone else choose to be? I'll take Hermes, who may sound like the God of sexual disease but . . . ;)

Sorry Lara, we didn't really help much with what is a sensible, if rather open-ended question.

Your attitude appears to be the same as that of most women towards sex; you need a reason to do it. Actually you have to take into consideration the corresponding attitude of men: all they need is a place.

You need a place to rp which corresponds to the chosen environment. That shouldn't be difficult, as all you really need for a Greek Gods rp is a public access parkland/forest type sim with some central gathering place that looks like the Parthenon. If you can't find one in Search, or no-one here can suggest one then you are going to have to create one yourself.

Once you have a location you need to draft some rules of rp (you can't just have Zeus jumping on every female he sees shouting ambiguously "I am omnipotent";) then set up a group - with appropriate role titles - and promote it. Once you have a few members away you go.

Pep (IANAE)

PS Best of luck with an rp that doesn't offer sex in its scenario. :D

It should be noted that most of the Greek goddesses didn't "mess around," unlike the gods, who seem to have been constituitionally incapable of keeping their equipment in their chiton where it belonged.

So, were you to RP Athena, for instance (my personal fave), or Artemis, you need never be bothered with that whole sex thing if you don't wish.

But watch out for horny swans if you decide to rp a mortal queen. :D

It has often occurred to me how very unsatisfying it must have been for Leda . . . I mean, a SWAN? Seriously, can she have even noticed that it was happening?

Now, EUROPA, on the other hand . . . :D

And we don't "mope." We engage each other in serious and meaningful conversation.
