Greetings and salutations everyone! I’m just dropping in to advertise a little Redwall roleplaying site called the Vulpine Imperium which was one of the most fun and entertaining places in my childhood, and which still provides the same amount of enjoyment for me today as it did when I started on there eight years ago.
What is the Vulpine Imperium?
The Vulpine Imperium is a fully interactive decade-old PG-13 roleplaying club loosely based on Brian Jacque’s Redwall, as told from the vermin perspective. Does this mean you have to have read any of the Redwall books in order to fit in and roleplay there? No! It is set in its own vast and original world, with its own legends, history, events, governments, lands, and a wide array of characters ranging from the most whimsical poets to the most dastardly pirates. New players will be assigned to one of the three ships of the Imperial Navy, where they will submit to the whims and wishes of their captain, partaking in humorous and entertaining distractions, battles, and all other sorts of adventure on the high seas.
When not at sea, they may stick around and adventure in a large, sprawling coastal city known as Bully Harbor, where all sorts of domestic perfidy and prosperity is open to those who keep their eyes open and their paws quick, and join the numerous factions and ministries which fight both in the open and behind closed doors for the blessing of the Emperor, to overthrow him, or simply for coin and their own power. If one is artistically inclined, there are numerous rewards for your efforts with the site’s own unique gilder system, where one can write poems and prose and draw art for in exchange for in game currency, which can be used to run shops, buy equipment, and even own real estate. There are many ways to move up in the Imperium for the skilled, ambitious, and active!
So then, what do you need to do to get started on your adventure? Simply visit the URL provided below and create an account! All of our members are extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful, and can be reached either in game through the Misertross Poste system or out of game through the Skype chat to help you get settled. Just add me on Skype or message any of the other members and get their username and do so if you wish to be added to our chat, my username is hobiehomecat, and I can introduce you to the rest of us!
Sincerely,
Talinn C. Ryalor aka “Falun”, member since 2005.

And lastly, just a message from the site’s administrators on our ten year anniversary:
“As of this month, The Vulpine Imperium, a website that has become one of the last bastions of activity within the ROC, has been running for a decade.
Together as players we have created and maintained a world of action, adventure, intrigue, emotion, and good, rollicking fun. We have all made characters we are heavily invested in, characters who have become inseparable from the history of the Imperium, each playing an active role in how events of the past ten years have played out.
We have gone through ups and downs in activity and have weathered our fair share of bugs and hacks, but still here we are, writing together and making good, lasting stories. Because that's what we're about here: Storytelling. Together we have created legends, our characters heroes and villains within the constantly intertwining mythos of the Imperium.
And there is much more to come. A new age of the Imperium is beginning, new plans set in motion as we sail into a vast world of discovery and expansion for both the setting of the VI and for our characters. I look forward to sharing in this discovery with each and every one of you, our dedicated writers.
A special and much heartfelt thanks to Retto, our Minister of Innovation, for keeping this site up and running as long as he has. I also thank our admins, both past and present, for preserving a consistent setting and keeping the VI true to its purpose.
Lastly, to all of you who make up our community of players: This place would not be what it is today without your inspiration and creativity. We built this place as a community, and that is how we have endured-- not through the will or power of one, but through our work as a team of writers who are, in my opinion, one of the most supportive, friendly, and close-knit online communities I have encountered.
Let's hear it for the VI! Huzzah!”
