Although I have posted information on a wiki which can be accessed from the links above, it won't hurt for me to post some information about the setting down here.
The Environment: The RP would be set in a desert, with farming areas around oases, rivers, and some other patches of fertile land near coasts and some irrigated fields. There are a number of large cities, populated by the Dracons, a race which will be described below. Sandstorms are frequent, although the desert is more rock than sand.
The Dracons: This race is the general population of the setting, although visitors from other races are common, at least in the major cities. The Dracons are partially human, partially Dragon, although their dragon side is by far the stronger of the two. Males are significantly larger, tougher, and stronger than females, although females are more dexterous, agile, and better balanced. Dracon males stand between 6'2-6'8, females are about 5'4-5'10. Males weight between 185-220 lbs, females weigh between 110-150.
The society of the Dracons is very unjust, with the poor being treated like dirt, and females being treated in a rather sexist way. Most inhabitants of Dracon cities live in slums and in poor conditions (about 60% of Dracon city dwellers), but some middle-class and rich Dracons exist.
I have more information on the race, if anyone wants it.
The Magic System: Essentially Dungeons and Dragons, magic spells in the RPG are only limited by being too powerful or being able to bring back the dead. Almost anything else is fair game, as long as a "fix everything" spell isn't used. Characters who use magic should list exactly what spells they have before the RPG would begin, so they can't just invent an ability exactly when they need it.
EDIT: Here is kind of an idea as to what the Dracons look like. I know that this is a Dragonborn from Dungeons and Dragons, so you should mentally add a tail and make the scales smoother:
