I thought it was time we had a Gazetteer for Midmarch. As always - let me know if you think I have missed anything or mis-represented your business / offer. Or if you want to change the name of your business. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Always fond of a bit of feature creep - would it be possible to set up links in the Midmarch Gazetteer for each business so we could navigate directly to the Fuzzy thread on RPoL, if available ? :> | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My wife's birthday party starts next Friday evening and runs through until Sunday afternoon and consists of a full-on Pathfinder Playing weekend. Players start arriving Friday afternoon - we sit down to play at about 7 pm for a four hour playing session. We start again at 8am and finish at about 11 pm on Saturday, and then play 8 'til noon on Sunday. I won't be online or posting at all next weekend. To make it worse, it is a 'campaign' game, with the same players & same characters each year - so I spent a lot of yesterday reminding myself of the setting. In between time I am converting a 1981 AD&D1 module for pathfinder to serve as the base for the weekend ... (and that helps remind me of the modules contents - when I haven't read it for about 10 years ...) Don't be surprised if my posting and comment is really sporadic over the next week. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1) Bags of Holding and the ring that increases the # of channels per day aren't resetting correctly so every day or every rest period it keeps adding to the previous total. So now I can carry something like ~4,000 lbs and can channel positive energy 31 times per day!!! 2) Harrim keeps killing himself. I gave him a magical club that allows him to cast vampiric touch on a crit with the caveat that if you remove it, it casts finger of death on you. I removed it AGES ago and had to resurrect him but the curse is still active. Every time he crits he still hits the target with vampiric touch and now he continually loses health whenever I skip ahead. It's really annoying because every 14 days I have to take him out so he can heal himself. I like to imagine that he keeps attempting/committing suicide but in all seriousness it's a super annoying bug because I had him as m high priest and lost 100 BP when he died in the middle of a project :( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

NWN 1 came packaged with some world building software. You could design your own map areas, place treasures, build NPCs, write conversations and write environment affecting scripts - so basically, you could build your own game world. The big problem was that when the character left - everything reset and they started again. Until a couple of bright sparks found ways to save the information within the game. This meant that when the character rejoined they could have exactly the same experience, equipment, location (etc) as when they left. The most sophisticated way used a MySQL database, less sophisticated systems used variables on a Character 'skin' - both worked. Then you could share them on the internet, and invite players to join through an interface built into the basic game. I was one of the DM/Builders on a world called Vydor (that take you from L1-L40) and wrote most of our custom social interaction scripts. You could get a title and all the NPCs would suddenly start calling you Sir/madam, Lord/Lady etc. I wrote a set of scripts that changed character alignment for breaking into houses, killing NPCs, making donations to good causes, making Lawful decisions etc. I also wrote a series of adventure areas, built a Dwarves guild and a few other bits and bobs. It was a nice cross between an Action World and an RP world. I still have a PC sitting under my desk with an old NWN1 persistent world on it - But that was only really good for levels 1-10 - it was one of the 'projects' that kept me amused after NWN2 came out. I used it to teach my 13/14 year old son the basics of coding :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am expecting everyone home fairly shortly (winter is drawing in and travel gets more difficult) so there is another round of Kingdom Building to prepare for. Actually two rounds of Kingdom Building, as Henry won't send you out in the freezing snows. Anyone who has not yet recieved 2BP from Henry will get a extra BP to spend. The rest iof you will have to work with the income from your holdings. http://rp.baileymail.net/doku...._land:midmarch:start Level 2 and level 3 characters will each go up a level (Fours and Fives will have to wait a bit longer) - so you might want to prepare for that as well. You will be entitled to an entourage follower, so you might want to give some thought to that (assuming you have time spare :) http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....gn_systems:entourage | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am NPCing … Silvius, Fiddler, Rose & Zirul - while poor old Gehon died when his player left. If you join a game and subsequently find that it isn’t for you, then it is proper to move on. And my games are a bit of an acquired taste – as I am sure you have all realized by now. For others, RL crops up and they need to take a break – perhaps just from the game – perhaps even from RPol as a whole. That is fine - that is how it should be. Those of you who have been around for a while, know that I like five or six PCs in a group – because it means the group doesn’t stagnate when a couple of guys are having a tough time posting. So the question for you guys - do you want me to recruit for players that come straight into your groups - Or would you prefer that I sent you guys out as two groups and recruited new players into a third group? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
~ Elkin NPC e, 8 posts Sat 12 Jan 2019 at 21:12 |
If I am seeing correctly, it looks like all 3 groups are currently running at 5 members. You could recruit 3 new characters and place 1 in each group. Or recruit 5 or 6 new characters and create a Group 4. (Would this be too much to DM?) Merging the 2 current groups would put 7 characters in 1 group and 8 characters in another. Would this sort of slow the groups down? Are there any current players who are thinking of taking a break from the game? Is there any truth to the rumors that Cass wants to form a sub-group of half elves with dueling swords? *wink* | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 2516 posts Sat 12 Jan 2019 at 21:31 |
TBH, I think four groups is beyond me at the moment. Work was supposed to get quiet after last year's IT Migration. Instead, my managers decided to completely reorganise the site - and forgot to tell me any of the details until quite late in the day - so now we are panicking (quite rightly) about getting IT gear moved to the right place at the right time. I have become a Very Important Asset (according to my new line manager). Just to cap it, one of my colleagues has got a new job, so I am liable to be double hatting for a few months, and then training up the new guy .... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
~ Jensen NPC p, 11 posts Sat 12 Jan 2019 at 22:12 |
In that case, I suggest recruiting only 3 new players and shaping the groups however works best. And maybe mule races. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Andalon de Lebeda Player, 698 posts Cleric of Abadar Sun 13 Jan 2019 at 15:15 |
My personal preference would be groups of characters of similar levels as I think that works better in terms of the game mechanics. Lower level characters mixed in with higher level characters are either extremely vulnerable or frustrated because they can't be as effective as the higher level characters. If that just doesn't work out in terms of a good mix of characters and classes in each group then fair enough, compromises are a necessary fact of life. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 2519 posts Sun 13 Jan 2019 at 15:33 |
I will look at how to balance that a bit better with different level parties, when I reorganize. However, I am not sure that we have a good balance of classes across the levels - but I'll check that before I do anything :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Adoven Player, 295 posts Rogue / Bard Sun 13 Jan 2019 at 16:49 |
Don't know if I agree with that. I had a 1st level fighter in a 3.5 game coming in as a hiring to a 9th level party. Even with minimal buffs, I was holding my own through clever role play and strategic thinking. Didn't take me more than a few sessions to start catching up, either. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I agree with Adoven's sentiments. As one of the lower level characters, I have been enjoying myself. I don't look at the characters that I interact with as he's a L3 or L4? I don't see levels while roleplaying. Combat is very much the same thing. I don't say... where's the L4? That L4 better get up in front and soak up the damage :) I think that this game works with having different level PCs in the game. As each specific group ventures out, I tend to look at classes and see if we have a good mixture instead of specific levels. The GM has done a good job of having new characters start out higher than L1. So whether it is L2 or L3 to start out, I think it has gone well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If needed to be "downplayed," maybe some of the less needed DM NPCs from abandoned players can be moved to Ringbridge to help in its growth. Everyone here is an exceptional character both IC and OOC*, and I am happy to role play with each and all. So I don't mind a party change up every now and then. Especially since the parties always have a strong IC story purpose. Varying levels can be a hard juggle, but usually as long as they are in a close enough range, they can be smoothed out. John/Henry has a good head on his shoulders. I trust him to arrange things nicely. Now. Who wants to invest all their BPs with Cass? He's an ambitious S.O.B. :) * Online at least.

Adoven, if my concern (that the players of lower level characters in a higher level party might not enjoy the experience as much) is misplaced then I am certainly not going to grumble about it. As long as everyone is enjoying the game I don't mind who is in each group. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My initial thought was to carry on in the way that I had been ‘Put every character up a level when we came in for a kingdom round and recruit at a level below the lowest level characters’. However, that would have given me a L2 to L6 split, and as Andalon implied in the OOC - that really would mean splitting parties by level. I am not a good enough GM to make a series of encounters that challenge a L6 Character but still leaves a good chance of a L2 staying alive all the way through. So I decided to advance the L2 and L3 Characters - BUT not the L4 & L5 characters, and recruit at L3. This gives me a L3-L5 character and means I can spread people out around the parties based on a variety of other reasons - rather than just level. Characters who are currently L2 will go to L3 when they get back to Tusk - and will not be worse of, in any sense, than new characters coming in.

Ahh. I think you have it the wrong way around. The birds are native to the islands, and very loyal, they have been trained as spies and set abroad to report back. The residents are descendants of Spanish Conquistadors - who conquered the canaries, and killed/displaced all the locals, on their way to south/middle America - way back when. They are still very proud of their conquistador fore-fathers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is also your chance to give me a short line of text to describe your character, or more detailed text to add as a 'personal' page. I am also happy to look at proposed coats of arms :) But I may well ask you to modify, to keep things in line with everything else that has gone before. This includes the newest people, who are expecting to be an integral part of the game soon :) Everyone is assumed to be based in Tusk unless you tell me differently, or there is a clear reason for some other location. ----- I am also going to be working on this thread again soon. link to a message in this game For those who haven't come across it before, it is where I track your personal (Player and Character) wants for the game. I pretty much put in a synopsis of what you tell me your character wants. For those characters with an entry - check and send me any updates. If you don't have an entry already - feel free to send me one (if you want).

Pretty much :) I think my last post left you just outside Ringbridge - but was vague enough to let you guys get stuck into any conversations (etc) that you wanted. Once the party is back in town, I'll kick off another couple of RP threads where people can talk and socialise between themselves and across groups. For you newer characters, it is also time to start thinking about how (or if) you want you get involved in the Kingdom building side of the game (it isn't compulsory). At the same time we can look at entourage members etc. Some of the characters who have been here for longer, are already planning how they are going to develop their holdings and entourage :) I am always happy to discuss plans and give advice on using the Kingdom Building Rules, in PMs. I have a few things planned for when more people get into town :) This message was last edited by the GM at 08:29, Thu 21 Feb 2019. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think it is probably fair to give you the context behind that last post. Some of you know already, others don't. Nearly 10 years ago I was diagnosed with chronic Post Viral Fatigue. This is similar to ME and CFS - and means that every so often I run right out of energy. The effect can range from that stuffy head, can't think feeling, you get during a bad cold - that might just last for a half a day or so. Through to an absolute lethargy complete with aches pains and a need to sleep 13-14 hours a day - that can last for a couple of weeks. Initially, I was unable to work at all, then went part-time for 3-4 years, and now I am back working full time, and holding down a reasonable job, in my professional field again. In part this is because the symptoms have reduced over the years, and partly because I can recognise triggers better and then manage the things that cause the worst effects. However, sometimes things get away from me and sometimes (such as really busy times at work) I have to work much closer to my limits than I am happy with, and get pushed closer to 'the edge'. Yesterday was one of those days - and I suspect there might be more in the foreseeable future. We are going through a really busy time a work with three out of four posts unfilled - We are working to fill the other posts, but at the moment there is just me .... But you know what they say "There can be only one ..." :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In some ways this is a much quieter life to the one I used to lead 10-15 years ago. I have become more of a willow, bowing before the winds that blow around me - rather than the solid old Oak tree that stood in the middle of everything and invited the world to 'come and get me if you can. But as I say, we all have to find our own compromise with everything that is going on around us, inside us and to us. A time consuming game on RPoL makes up for some of the other hobbies I can't do quite so much, anymore. Feel good soon mate :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you haven't already done so, it is time to start planning. This might include looking at your Entourage Assistants as well. I have been thinking about the next set of tasks, and have decided that I do want to differentiate groups more by level this time. For that reason all of the characters in groups 1, 2 & 3 will go up a level during this kingdom phase. http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....gn_systems:entourage Under the Entourage rules you are allowed to have [(1/2 your level)+(Cha bonus)] Entourage Assistants at any time - and they go up as you level - however, they are restricted to half your level and will 'top out' at level 5. Entourage Assistants are very minor characters intended to help you out by running businesses, running your home, or in any other small way. They represent you getting a bit richer, more influential, more powerful etc ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From what I recall, Percy is quite happily ensconced in the V&A Merchant House in Tusk, and looking after that part of the business on your behalf. Vik also has a long-standing Entourage-Assistant, called Lolli. Lolli has previously served as squire, assistant and helped run the business in Tusk. She is now probably doing service as a Lady's Maid / Companion. I think you might have to slow your plans slightly :) a Sword School alone costs 3 bp - and that is before you have negotiated with the Town Council. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 2631 posts Mad, bad and slightly sad Wed 27 Feb 2019 at 09:51 |
Nor are Entourage-Assistants compulsory for running businesses - each business comes with all the staff they needs. The Entourage-Assistants are there to give you more RP options - If you want them :) The only downside to not joining in with those parts of the game, is that Kingdom Rounds might be a bit quiet - although there uis generally plenty of opportunity to get involved in some of the social RP that goes on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fixed. I had the private set wrong :(
Some individuals might also be interested in borrowing BP from you - however, if you lend to an individual or Town, you might want to ask about Interest rates :) If you don't want the hassle at the moment, you can defer your BP to Henry - and he will use them to help fund Community Development - while he is looking after them. You can always claim them back when you are ready - BUT there is no interest paid :) Some of the most successful enterprises come about when characters have found common purpose and pooled their resources towards a common aim. RRingbridge (Cyrus and Val), V&A Shipping (Adoven and Vik) even Iomedae's house in Tusk (Mariam and Borric). It needs a bit of work when it comes to splitting profits - but it does help an enterprise grow faster. Especially if it is a means towards an end. You can use your BPs to start building a noble estate, a town, a business, a cathedral, a university or many other things. Although you have to start small and work up ....

City Base Minimum Requirements are city location Land: Merchant House, Large Warehouse, Caravanserai and at least two Caravans Water: Merchant House, Large Warehouse, Pier and at least one Trade or Merchant ship (Keeler or Sailing Barge). If you need to buy a Keel Boat or a Sailing Barge from somewhere other than Midmarch - there will be a premium added to the price.

All - Henry has just made an announcement concerning the future development of Midmarch - in each of the Development threads. I recommend that you check it out, if you aren't following one at the moment. In OOC terms, it lets me move the game on a bit, and build parties that are more based on level. It also facilitates some 'Wish List' items that a few of you have put forward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Only problem I see is that paved roads ONLY influences a single district. To cover the whole city, you need to invest in paved roads for 3 Districts. Now, does that add +2 Loyalty/Stability to the entire city, or does that add +6 Loyalty/Stability to the city? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This might be a good option for newer players with just1bp, who haven't yet developed a plan on how to spend it yet. It might even be a whole new business model - set up a 'hedge fund' and ask the bank to manage investments for you (for a share of the interest of course) I saw Adoven post a similar request (somewhere) for people to lend him BP as well. People have negotiated interest payments on loans, and it might be interesting to see what both are offering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

To some extent she already does - but only within the Kingdom rules. For example, when someone build a Sword School, watch tower etc ... Rikka or one of the other smiths makes the weapons / armour etc. Exchange of services is the basis of the BP economy. However, there is no exchange between BP and adventuring items priced in GP :P | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Adoven, I wish to speak to you about a project that the girls and I have in mind ..... OOC: I was going to have that sort of distinction for the boat yards, but dropped it. Size of vessel created should be the only distinction now. (if you see any text that says different, please link for me and I will amend it) And probably masterwork quality as well. Large Boatyards can make small boatyard vessels at masterwork quality. Shipyards can make Large Boatyard vessels at MW quality. No real advantage - just they look prettier and you can enchant them .... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From the perspective of LAW - those character's and Henry should probably be ordering or working to arrest Duma and his crew, and take the bag of wealth as confiscation of stolen goods. Otherwise Midmarch and Henry might have political issues. I don't know what Henry's inclination to law is, but I know he's inclined to second chances and such... hence the pickle. I'm interested to see which way the different points influence his official response to Duma. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As an extra 'special' offer, she will swap a magical weapon for one of the same enchantment for the cost of a masterwork weapon - she wants them to decorate the walls of her smithy. She doesn't care if the items, are Large, Medium or Small. Note: This is a once per lifetime offer per character.

New Kingdom Building turn at the end of the winter and as spring rolls around. Make the most of it, it will be the last one for a while. I haven't updated the Character Information Thread with the new figures yet - so just planning, shopping for clothes (if you need them), completing equipment lists, etc ..... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Safiya Vallani player, 147 posts Wed 20 Mar 2019 at 21:03 |
While failing to save some gnomes from becoming kobold chow, Safiya acquired a neat magical item, Amulet of Natural Armor +2. Sadly, because I have all the foresight of a lemming, I did not realize when loot was being divided that there is a potential character option available to me that would make this item completely useless to my character. I apologize to my fellow players from that misadventure for hogging this item then. Long story short, the amulet may be up for grabs, and I'm putting this notice here to see if there is any interest in it. One thing though, my currency of choice are BPs. So, is there anyone interested? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

According the the rules, I am officially old, and closer to venerable than I am to middle age.

On the right of the options, you'll see a window labeled RPoL Preferences. At the top of that list is "Your Control Panel" with an option on themes. Click "create one". This opens up the option to custom-create your own color scheme. If you're just looking to replace the eye-biting April Fool's scheme, ignore all those color codes and head down to the bottom, where it says "load colours from". Open the dropdown menu next to this, and select your favorite default or holiday RPoL theme (I prefer the Dark Blue motif, it's easier on my eyes). Click "Grab Them" and wait for it to grab all the colors and things. Then click "Create". That gives you a custom skin that overwrites the usual holiday skins. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DM GM, 2902 posts Mad, bad and slightly sad Tue 2 Apr 2019 at 12:07 |
The Group 0 map shows the roads and settlements of Midmarch - It is the standard Kingmaker map (with overlays) that is divided into hexes that are 15 miles across. I generally assume 2 hexes per day of travel for most travel, horses can move three hexes, but wagons and carts can only move one hex. That isn't exactly RAW - but it is close enough and keeps things simple. On horses you could do Tusk > Hunter's Rest > Olegs in two days - although Hunter's Rest is a 'camp somewhere safe' option. Mule trains and general travellers go Tusk > Silverton > Ringbridge > Outpost > Olegs and take 4 days. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/background-skills/ GM, would you give any thought to using the rules for background skills? As more of a writer, it always seems a little funny when I look at character skills, and there's little or nothing that reflects life before being an adventurer. A rather light thing that helps flesh out a character, you know? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zelona player, 143 posts Half-elf Druid HP: 21 - AC: 17 Tue 2 Apr 2019 at 23:17 |
The idea of "skills before adventuring" crops up every now and again and then goes away again in D&D rulesets. 2e had "Secondary skills", PF has Background Skills, 5e has backgrounds. Personally I like those kinds of rules too as it lets me do more well rounded skill characters without sacrificing key class skills. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cass might have spent a year or two helping build houses, but not have a full Carpentry profession skill. I could still role play him helping to build houses in his spare time. (I won't of course. Because like Monopoly, Cass and I prefer to buy houses, and hotels, instead.

However, I have a couple of other thoughts that affected my decisions as well. Traits cover early character background - as do L1 feats and Skills :) For most people in RL - Hobby and amateur skills are generally quite low-level when compared to professionals - although they are higher than 'average' or even on a par with low level professionals. Properly trained professionals are always much better. For example - a few years ago I used to run pub-quizzes and Karaoke sessions, and I earned a small but, regular, income for doing it. I didn't invest a lot of time learning how to be an 'entertainer' but I ran a good local quiz. However, I wasn't good enough to be a TV quiz show host, or even a half-decent local radio presenter. Had I spent a few extra skill points learning the art - who knows :) With this world's demographic - an 'every day' professional entertainer (maybe a cast member in a touring show) is liable to be a L3 expert with 12 Cha. So Class Skill = +3, Cha = +1, skills = +3 - Gives a +7. Someone dedicated (the lead performers of the touring show) might take Skill Focus - to give a +10. A bard can use extra levels and bonuses - but they have the chance to become the 'in game' equivalent of a star:0 At the same time the average musician playing his bone-flute in the local bar for the villagers' entertainment - will likely be a L3 commoner with Cha 1 - so a max skill of +3. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Background Skills:
There is no question that if you are playing a skill heavy class like Rogue or Bard, you need this less than if you are playing a Cleric, Fighter, Sorcerer or Wizard, but honestly they are just not going to break the balance in either case. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ironically - Traits were were supposed to allow a player to give flavour and enhance their character background as well. But that soon got re-purposed to add adventuring skills. the same happens with background Skills. At the moment, if you want to enhance your craft Skills, you need to make a conscious decision to do so - at the cost of some other skill that might be useful. That is why I am trying to work out a solution to crafting/creating in game. If a player chooses to enhance adventuring skills over social or other non-combat skills - even when there are options (Traits) to do that in the system already - should I penalise those players who build a rounded character? One of the reasons I stick close to the CRB :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stanislav Wolkov player, 99 posts Wed 3 Apr 2019 at 15:20 |
Sure, they been used. Players do not always optimize their skill builds.
Their purpose was never to give skills outside adventuring. They can add flavor or be used to mini-max. The issue is as always in D&D3+ flavor vs optimization. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DM has said how they feel about the background skill variant option. We as players need to say "ok", and move on with the game part of the game. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 2920 posts Mad, bad and slightly sad Wed 3 Apr 2019 at 16:02 |
A fighter with 2 skill points has a shed loads of feats to make up for it :) OK - they are fixed by class, but that is the exchange/sacrifice. The same is true for most other character classes. Ironically, the class with probably the most in terms of feats, skills and abilities is the bard - and is generally considered to be one of the least powerful classes, least able to take a leading role :) Actually, something I have never really agreed with :) the class just needs playing properly. I spent about two years doing analysis of equivalence between Classes, as I investigated the possibility of a classless system. I decided that while I could get a system that worked, it lost the 'feel' that went with D&D style games. Just as important is the average skill level of the world - across all of the characters that live in the game world. Knowledge(History) 6 makes you a good amateur Historian. That really isn't hard to achieve. One trait, a decent ability score and one point spent. It is generally only PCs who have skill modifiers much higher than that. How many hobbies, extra social skills should a 'rounded' character have? Personally (in RL) I think I probably have three or four non-work related skills that are above 1 or 2. But that is because I have concentrated on developing Professional or (in D&D/PF terms) class skills. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is a fairly basic overview at a level you would expect to find in modern news reports or 'interested' pub conversations. Every character with any ranks in Know:Nobility is aware of this, and it is id freely available from all low level information sources. You can all know it IC. However, remember that this is part overview and part speculation. None of you are senior enough to understand how your houses actually feel about any of these things - nor to have any more detail on any of the specifics. It provides the framework for me to work out background events and some influence modifiers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes. Anything in the 'National Titles' column has a fairly direct effect. Anything else that adds to your Midmarch Influence has a smaller effect. In simple terms the formula is :- Highest National Titles + (Other_Midmarch_Influence / 5) + Local Links. EDIT: Then modified for distance, size of town & relationship The quickest ways for you (specifically) to increase your influence in other cities is to increase your defence score to 5 (or more) which gets you the Lord-Dominus title, upgrade to a City base in Tusk and a Town Base in Ringbridge. http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....nes:ranks_and_titles This message was last edited by the GM at 21:07, Tue 16 Apr 2019. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I know I don’t always specify when we move for a general phase of play to something that requires a combat rounds. A good rule of thumb is that if anyone makes any sort of attack or physical Skill Check we are in combat rounds. This particularly applies to stealth roles - because unless a character has spent feats your movement rate is halves when they move stealthily. When I put up a map with a co-ordinates grid, please specify a destination when you move -especially if we are in a Combat-Rounds situation (see above). The grid does two things – it allows you to work for tactical advantage - but it also helps me adjudicate enemy actions, spell effects and skill rolls. I can sometimes spend twice as a long summarising a thread, when people move around without telling me where they are going. And, if I am feeling mean, I can choose to put you right in the middle of the fire ball …. If the party splits into two or more parts - respect it. If you are separated by more than a few feet, groups can’t share information without shouting to each other. Remember that while you can see people on the map –they might actually have moved stealthily or hidden since you moved away. I have three ways I can handle it when a party splits into groups.
I tend to swap around between the three methods. Please try and respect them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Check out the BP related links in this section .... http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....s:start#build_points There has been a 'GP/BP conversion' chart in that section of the rules for ages. I brought it in-line with our earlier discussions, using a large town as our base setting. This is how I THINK it will work - although I haven't fully worked it through yet

No. What I am asking is If Tusk becomes a Small City next turn, can I exchange 1 BP in Tusk at standard rate for 5500 gp, then turn around and purchase 1 BP of product, like a Jetty, in Jovvax (small town) for 5625 gp investment (since I am an outsider)? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
~ Findlas NPC e, 8 posts World Weary Wary Gnome Tue 4 Jun 2019 at 23:55 |
My understanding was if you're converting BP to GP then it's sold at 50%. And to buy BP in another city/settlement you have to use gold to buy that BP. So if Tusk ups to Small City, you'd sell a BP for 5500/2 = 2750 gp. Then you'd have to buy the BP in Jovvax for 5625 as an outsider. So you'd need to come up with another 2875 to cover the difference. Or convert 2 BP from Tusk to 1 BP in Jovvax + 125 gp. I will let our illustrious GM correct me if I'm wrong on my understanding though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

When you 'sell' a BP you get the sale price - which is 50% of the standard price. So currently 'selling' a BP in tusk gets the equivalent of 2500gp. Outsider rate in Jovvox is 5625 gp. However, think of this table as an "equivalence" rather than an exchange rate. Think of a sea-side shop where everything is really expensive for tourists, but all the locals have a 20% discount - and the shop owners mates get 40% discount. Your very first development in a new area is still going to attract a 'permission' fee (where you pay for building permission) as well. So, under normal circumstances, you might need to 'cash in' 3bp in Tusk to get your first jetty in Jovvox. If you upset the Jovvox boss, it might be 4bp - Sweet talk him and it might be 2.5bp. If lots of people want to invest in Jovvox, the 'permission' rate might be higher - supply and demand is a marvellous thing. If it helps you can think of this as a sweetener, a bribe, or a 'fee for residence'(*). No - you can't just regularly 'cash-in' BP for GP. BP is based on goods, barter, knowing people and a variety of other non-cash things. When you convert BP to cash it puts a strain on the local economy and annoys the people you do business with.

Things are improving at this end. I have moved to working 3 days a week, although at least one more day is taken up trying to find work for when I am 'technically' unemployed from July 4 - which is now my personal Independence Day. The family and historical landmark events are over. The last week (or so) has seen my wedding anniversary, my birthday and the D-Day commemorations. D-Day might seem s a strange one to put in there, but I work at the site were the D-Day landings were planned. We have the original room and map they planned and managed the landings from. At one pojnt we were supposed to be hosting all the world's leaders who were at the Portsmouth ceremony (May, Trump, Macron, Merkel etc) and their entourages. At one point I was even down to help host a dinner for some of their hangers-on. As IT manager for the site - I was busy reworking rooms that could be used as a multinational Security Centre right up until a week or so before the visit. And this weekend it is Father's Day and my son has come to visit ... However, I can see the end of the tunnel and I will soon have more time to spend on RPoL again :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

No missing PMs on this end. Glad you are getting your workload, semi-retirement figured out.

None :) There is no XP / BP Exchange rate - I am already concerned about the GP/BP exchange rate - especially when I am going to give you a public space to buy and sell stuff. Kendrick - the XP reward for downtime participation will be fairly small. It is a nod towards the player's participation, rather than a primary reward for the activity. The main reward for downtime skill based activities is the gold you earn or the items you create. So comedy juggling on street corners should work well for The Marshal ....

Most religious buildings have a group of Collegiate Adepts who live in, serve and maintain the building. Collegiate Adepts have the ability to perform rituals that enhance the Caster level of their lead priest - ie the PC Cleric who 'owns' the temple. When casting spells, using scroll and performing other similar tasks, the PC cleric gains the following bonus caster levels so long as they in their own church and take an hour to prepare. +1 - Holy House, Chapel +2 - Priory, Temple +3 - Abbey, Minster +4 - Cathedral http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....:religious#buildings | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Groups 2 & 3 are going into more difficult areas than you have been in recently, so I would advise you to plan properly :) Just in case you are under any misconceptions, characters can die in this game - Ethankos was within 1 point of death recently, and was only saved by a fairly dangerous rescue attempt (that brought another PC to very low HP) AND a couple of good dice rolls. Next weekend I am away (leave Friday, return Monday) and the weekend after that I am hosting my wife's birthday party. For anyone new, that is a full weekend table-top dungeon that starts Friday evening and ends Sunday afternoon with almost non-stop play. So I need to spend a lot of time next week prepping for that. That doesn't mean I forget about you guys, just that I might be (even more) sporadic and confused. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fuzzy threads, such as Winterfest and the Dragons Den are there (in part) to let characters from different groups meet up, chat and (perhaps) form some sort of posting partnership. Think of them as a night out in the local pub/bar/club where you have the chance to meet new people :) They are also a good way to get XP :) Under the new system I give out RP xp in chunks. There will certainly be some XP for every character who makes an appearance. More when characters get into a conversation that I don't have to be involved in :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

December and June Campaign Turns mark the in-game year changes - that is when your entourage-assistants will go up a level and when your PC gets a year older ... When characters all went up a level at the same time, it was easy to just have the Kingdom Turn them - but now I need to be a bit more structured.

All Locations as per the Group 0 map. The Group who went West have discovered (and are currently clearing) an abandoned villa in Hex Blue F. This could be used as a Stronghold Base - and could become a Fortified Villa at half cost. The Group who went West also visited Bogside / Drowned trees - The village at Hex Blue H. Once run by bandit/pirates it was liberated. Since then it has been taken over by Captain Kressle and her not-so-merry Men. The group intend to warn Henry that the current rulers are as bad as the last lot. That might also be available as a stronghold base - or as an addition to any stronghold centred on Hex Blue F. Assuming he has money left, Governor Henry intends to build a road from Bar-z Through the forested hex to Hex Blue D. Lord Henry intends to claim Hex Blue D (on behalf of Lady Bai) and build an Outpost there. However, he has no plans to claim any of the surrounding hexes. The group that were tasked with exploring the Narlemarch - has discovered an Old Keep at the head of the Skunk River - but it appears to be occupied by some fairly nasty fey-folks. That might be available as the core of a Forest based stronghold later.

Are there any players with BP who are not sure what to do with them? We would be happy to make suggestions. Tusk town finds itself in the middle of its largest growth cycle yet, and is still in need is some economic infusement. And there are always civic interests that you can donate to at the moment if you aren’t really looking to concentrate on economic (or BP) gain at the moment. And it isn’t just Tusk, Midmarch is growing everywhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It all depends where your interests lay. Usually, that is commercial to accrue more BPs. But there are also civil aspects and role playing aspects as well. For instance, one well known merchant has not only requested to increase his business, but is starting to build a villa for himself, and is also putting forth the future prospect of a military academy. There is no real economic gain to a military academy, but it would help protect merchant interests as well as all of the citizens of Midmarch. You could enquire about joining in on such a venture or a number of other opportunities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Conditions of the loan: - 50% interest (i.e. borrow 1BP, repay 1.5BP) - To be repaid over the next two Kingdom turns (repay 1BP next turn and the final 0.5BP on the following turn) - Subject to the proposed development being approved by the relevant Council or authority in charge of the settlement where the development is proposed.

When considering boatyards, I decided that all the larger vessels are actually built to MW standards - I (personally) wouldn't want to go racing down river on a vessel that wasn't of top quality manufacture :) Smaller row boats, skiffs etc don't need the same build quality. RL Note: You should see some of the plans that are available on the internet for building dinghies and skiffs out of light timber and plywood! I have been almost tempted to try making one. But I certainly wouldn't trust a larger vessel built in someone's garage using those techniques. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Over the next day or so, I am going to be playing with the relationship between troop types and Kingdom Buildings (ie watchtowers, Sword-Schools etc). Those of you with strongholds, Sword-schools, mercenary Barracks etc - might want to have a look. HOWEVER - you do not need to. The basic rules won't change. You will still get the same number of defence points for your troops as before - but the changes will let you skin them differently, if you want too. Most of the changes are taking place (ATM) on http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....shelf:military:start as I work out CRs and tidy up the Unit level blurb. Feel free to PM me if you have any relevant thoughts / concerns. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unfortunately, you only get one AOO in this instance. You are allowed one AOO per opponent per 'event' - and in this case the event is the Quickling leaving a threatened square. While it looks like he leaves a number of squares - it is the same event. While this comes from Roll20, rather than any of the official sites, the interpretation runs through the other FAQs I have looked at. https://roll20.net/compendium/...0Opportunity#content Good job the first one was so good :) (even if it didn't crit) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This isn't meant as a dig - because I suspect that I am guilty of not making public descriptions for all of the NPCs that I run too. Most of the time it isn't an issue, but if NPCs will be in a position where they will interact with other Player's character, it seems reasonable that the public descriptions say something about the character. Perhaps what they look like, their equipment and the role they have in Midmarch. At time of writing, Yolen's says
But by the time you read this, it will contain another line about her job as Henry's main caravan leader.

Your entourage are your folk. The system assumes that you provide them with food and lodgings of a reasonable standard etc etc. The automatic 35 gp /level is a bit arbitrary - and just represents the basics (which they are generally happy with) As your PC go up in levels, there is no reason why you can't give discarded items to entourage members or buy them things they need from the PCs own money :P | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A little while ago, I changed it so you could only see your own groups - in response to a couple of comments that there were too many posts. Recently, I have come across a couple of occasions when people have lost access to past posts, or felt they have missed something. In light of that, I am prepared to add people back into all the adventure groups - on an individual basis. I am happy that you won't meta-game across threads - so it is OK, even if you just want to follow the other story lines. PM me .... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For various reasons, I have been at Entourage Assistants and other NPCs - and I have realised that we now have so many that I can't always remember (or work out easily) who belongs to whom. Nor is it clear if some of them have a role in Midmarch Sure, I can go back and look at ownership though the GM menus, but that takes some time. Please will you look at the background sections on your Entourage Assistant character sheets and put some brief detail in there - as well as a line about who they work for and where. I know some are my creations - and I will put in background / histories for those guys. Can I ask you to look at the Biography lines as well - a public note of their role and location /allegiance in there would be helpful for all of us :) Brother Bartholomew and Gandred are both good examples of how you can do this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It hasn't been too much of an issue, until recently - The Entourage count is getting high, and they are starting to pop up more in Fuzzy threads ... I love the concept of people having lots of RP opportunities - but the admin is getting complicated :P And, if it doesn't involve spreadsheets and numbers, I am (at best) a mediocre administrator. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The relative strengths of the houses and regions are understood by anyone with Knowledge nobility - or can be found out by asking Brother Bart. DO NOT take these as absolute values - rather they are ballpark numbers that let me put houses and regions in an order across the whole of Brevoy.

Rogarvia themselves would have had most of New Stetven (including the current independents), Sky Watch, House Khavortorov as well as a lot of Rostland under their control. perhaps 4-5000 on that scale. Muuch that power has been split up and spread about ... Surtova and (perhaps) Jamandi have benefitted ... As for Midmarch - it has grown very, very quickly. Tusk is a small city in its own right, and Midmarch a lot of small towns. Restov is little more than a single city state with a few rural hexes to help support it - Tusk on steroids! Or what Tusk will become (in a few years) if they claim a few local hexes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am going to keep moving threads on at the standard rate, even when people aren't posting. I'll make 'safe' assumptions and less active moves on behalf of players who can't get here (for one reason or another) If it goes on for a lot longer, I'll reorganize parties into faster and slower paced posters. I will shortly close down the Tusk PM threads, and fetch everyone from there home. However, I'll keep the Jovvox / Mivon thread running for another couple of months.

Please post a grid reference when you move. It gets really frustrating for me when don't use the grid, as I have to try to guess where you want your character to be. It can take a long time to get the grid scales onto maps from scenarios. Some maps I have to go through and delete existing grids and clean by hand - for others it can be a real problem getting the letters/numbers at the right scale for existing grids ... A few I can just slap my standard grid over the top and scale - but those are few and far between! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As it stands, I can make two sensible adventuring groups - one group dealing with Varnhold and a second group in the Narlemarch.

However, my blog now has a post on settlements and settlement types. You might have noticed by now that I use an iterative development process - think about something, implement it for a while, then start the process over again. It helps me refine and develop my thoughts. This means that some parts of the Stronghold system will change Very Slightly as I implement some minor changes. I expect the changes will be 'cosmetic' or very minor, and won't really affect primary settlements (villages, towns, cities) at all. Any changes will mainly affect secondary settlements - and particularly those used to drive a Rural/Wilderness stronghold. the Blog Post is here :- http://galinia.org.uk/settlements The Secondary Settlements page :- http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....nts#single_dwellings | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cu Chulain appears on the other side of a ford that an enemy leader needs to cross - and a one-on-one duel takes place in the ford. Another story has flanking and scouting groups attacked and killed - eventually damaging the enemy army's morale. Most of the heroic combats from the Siege of Troy take place in an open area outside the city - sometimes right in the middle of the battle that is raging around them. Those are just three stories that I can think of quickly. Even in RL battles units were held in reserve and deployed to fill gaps, or specialist units were sent to cut supply lines or take out a machine-gun post that commands part of the battlefield. In these rules both sides will have their heroes - the few characters who are significantly better than the bulk of the army - higher level, more skilled, better equipment etc. Which actually represents Adventuring Parties quite well. So the heroes of one side are deployed to neutralize the heroes of the other side. For example the members of group-3 might be sent to deal with a bunch of heavy crossbow men on the left flank. Group-2 could be sent to deal with a mercenary Minotaur and his followers. Group-1 might be sent to free the hostages held with the enemy baggage train. So Heroic Combats are really just D&D/PF encounters written to fit a war zone environment. Or, we keep playing pathfinder (rather than switch to wargames rules) while the battle goes on around us - BUT the outcome of your encounters has an effect on the outcome of the battle. OR - that is what I am trying to achieve. This message was last edited by the GM at 09:26, Tue 12 May 2020. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic...pell-into-a-Spellboo So it should be: 1st 10 gp * 7, 2nd 40 gp * 6, 3rd 90 gp * 4, 4th 160 gp * 2 = 990 gp + 15 for the book itself = 1,005 gp total and then probably 1/2 for sell value? not sure on that one. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kendrick Winters player, 451 posts Marshal-Dominus Knight Paladin of Iomedae Tue 26 May 2020 at 03:06 |
Sure. But that's for writing a spell into a spellbook. But did the spell come from another spellbook or from a scroll. It would be from one of those two sources. Ultimately I'm hoping for GM guidance on that one :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
~Findlas NPC e, 16 posts World Weary Gnome Woodcarver of Olston Tue 26 May 2020 at 03:16 |
I mean, DM can chime in but PF RAW the value of a spell book has nothing to do with source of the writings originally (i.e. a free level up spell vs. bought scroll vs. found scroll). Then sell value is usually 1/2 that like for everything else, barring DM wanting to do something else :) There are official Paizo pre-constructed spellbooks: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spellbooks/ and they all use the math I showed to give spellbook value. The only thing I think I was short on was I forgot the 20 cantrips at 5gp for another 100 gp. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think I have added spreadsheets for all the major settlements at ( http://rp.baileymail.net/doku...._land:midmarch:start ) Look in the RH column of the table. So towns and settlements should be able to plan as well. At the moment it is just planning - I'll open up the threads on 21 June. Note that Zelona has laid claim to the Old Keep in the Narlewood - but there is a Villa in West Midmarch that might be a suitable place for a settlement - and there is a 'village' called Bogside that could be rescued from the hands of the evil Captain Kressle ...

Andalon de Lebeda Player, 926 posts Bishop at Cathedral of Abadar in Tusk City Tue 9 Jun 2020 at 14:59 |
There was a letter from a priest of Hanspur asking Midmarch to implement the River Freedoms as followed by The River Kingdoms. (Fuzzy: The Midmarch Council - msg #17, 29 Dec 2017) More recently I reminded the party heading south down the river about Hanspur and the River Freedoms (Fuzzy: The Lady of the Lake - msg #13, 15 Feb 2020): "Lord Henry and the Midmarch Council decided those River Freedoms are not suitable for Midmarch and we have our own charter instead. What's more, we have banned the worship of Hanspur, the patron deity of the river that runs from here down to Mivon and beyond, mainly because one of the rituals of Hanspur requires his followers to drown someone in the river. "Then there was that unpleasant fellow who made a nuisance of himself at the bar at the Naming Day ceremony last year. He was nosing around to see what we are doing here in land he claims belongs to Pitax. He was upset that we have banned the worship of Hanspur and that we will not acknowledge their River Freedoms." I haven't managed to find the old thread where we actually banned the worship of Hanspur. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 3721 posts Tue 9 Jun 2020 at 15:21 |
However, I am fairly sure there was a discussion at some point.

Head to the thread you want to search. In between the options to pick your page number, there's one called "all".

DM GM, 3724 posts Wed 10 Jun 2020 at 05:56 |
Just remember that they are commenting in the name of their faith. Nor is a problem if another cleric of the faith has spoken already. They speak their version of the word of their god. There can easily be other takes. For example there are three different Pharasmin Monasteries in Midmarch (run by Beatrix, Marceline and Ethankos respectively) - each will have a slightly different take on their faith. Think of the variety of different Christian denominations there are in the world. There are even Churches from three different denominations with within a few hundred yards of my house - but they are all Christian! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Reading the religious council thread, a thought strikes me: what about gods or goddesses that could have evil followers? I mean, I don't have a dog in the fight, but all this has got me pondering. I mean, OOC, the solution is obvious- forbid evil intent. That pretty much takes care of what the dragon in the room is. There are gods and goddesses out there who are evil, that's easy enough- Asmodeus, Lamashtu, Norgorber, Rovagug, Urgathoa, Zon-Kuthon, etc. all get the boot, because, well, evil, like Gyronna, which is the easy one out of the three currently up for debate. As far as Hanspur and Besmara, well... here's where things are going to get complicated. You're going to need to be cautious on picking and choosing, though- especially on deities that have the possibility of going all sorts of ways. Would you, for example: - Turn away priests seeking a temple for a deity that is some form of neutral (think Abadar, Calistria, Gorum, Gozreh, Irori, Nethys, Pharasma, etc.) because it might attract evil practitioners seeking them out? - Send away an evil practitioner of said religions- would the current church of Abadar in Midmarch show the door to a LE priest of Abadar? - How's about a LN/TN-aligned priest of an evil deity? Just some stream of thought stuff, figured this was the best place to put it. :P | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alisa D'Medvyed player, 282 posts Half-elf Cleric Thu 11 Jun 2020 at 00:50 |
And I'll toss in my .02 coppers. Here's where Alisa is coming from: It is what each of those religions endorses - not that they might have evil adherents, per se. Gyronna - a member of this faith is pretty much trained and expected to prey on the innocent, steal babies, and commit murder if that happens to be expedient. Hanspur - a bit sad this one, I think Hanspur is a bit of a tragic figure - but, that still doesn't make it okay that murder is a central component of their rituals. And it presents a perpetual risk anywhere they happen to set up shop. Besmara - kill people at sea, take their possessions - and the goddess shall smile upon you! Sure, yeah! Yes, Irori, Abadar, Calistria, and others could have an evilly aligned adherent. But, their faiths don't mandate that they steal, murder, and prey on people. So, any such actions fall strictly on the individual. I don't personally think (and neither does my character) that banning evil wholesale is a viable thing. Banning religions that mandate their followers doing reprehensible actions is a different matter. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kendrick Winters player, 460 posts Marshal-Dominus Knight Paladin of Iomedae Thu 11 Jun 2020 at 01:24 |
I'm taking this from a viewpoint of what is it mean if the opposite of a religion ban. So if the religion is Ban, then they do not get to build a temple, etc. So what DOES it mean if a religion is allowed to build a temple. Tell me what it means... And what does Lord Henry get out of giving them a place to build said temple. These temples can provide resources when Lord Henry calls them. Men at arms, priests, healing, potions, wisdom, etc. Now if a religion is banned, then Lord Henry will not gain the benefit of any of the above. Or maybe he has a secret relationship with the demon-god of whatever, and we'll have to overthrow him. :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DM GM, 3727 posts Thu 11 Jun 2020 at 07:43 |
Now this is me giving context / playing Devil's advocate / joining in - rather than representing a GM Opinion. :P 1) How does one ban Evil, when the only people who really know who is evil are paladins? And they only know if the subject is strongly evil. And the only way to prescribe evil acts in, really, to enact a law to make each individual Evil Act illegal. Midmarch already has a legal structure ( http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....and:midmarch:the_law ) - and it can be enforced quite well in urban settings. But it is less well enforced in the countryside. If you look at the Group-0 map - every hex not shaded in Orange is wilderness and only patrolled occasionally. So is large swathes of Rural hexes. 2) There is a difference between banning a religious establishment (ie Shrine, Holy House etc) and banning individual adherents of a particular faith. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It also lets us build a version of a Roman Pantheon or Greek religious site with shrines dedicated to a number of gods. it couldbe a way of representing the 'official' deities on Midmarch, and be the meeting place for the Religious Council. That would give us the potential for three tiers of Deity - Official, Others, Banned. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am also in favor of encouraging halflings to settle in Midmarch, and Cass needs an IC post about them with anyone who has particular information regarding them, and maybe Andalon specifically.

That's probably going to be the best option, though Henry has ties to Brevoy so may get pulled in on their side.
