20 July has passed. Five of you have submitted completed characters. I hope to receive characters from the rest of you, but we are beginning the campaign.

Please let me know where you are when the campaign starts. You may be the only PC there, but PCs may be in the same place too. Let me also know if there are any significant NCs

Most of you are participating in an Intro thread. Half of you are in a place where we can end it. Brynden, if your request regarding your next Intro scene remains, we can move that to the current time if you like. If that is your choice, I will decide where you start the campaign. If you rather would move on to something else, you let me know where you want to start too. But either way, let me know what you choose.

For Gyllen and Vandrose, there are still some things to do in the Intro thread for you. You may choose to focus on that until it is finished, or we can start a campaign thread for you too. If we do the latter, you will have two active IC threads for your character.

I am happy to wrap up my intro tread.

I guess I would start either in the keep or with Ser Corwyn.

Real Life has unfortunately delayed Gray in completing Ser Corwyn, but I hope he will be with us soon. So he won't be there until he is.

Is there anywhere in particular in the keep you would like to start?

I can do both, it is fine.

Gyllen, where do you want to start your campaign thread? And is there anyone significant you want there with you?

Hmm, what time of day will it be in game?

It will be daytime, in the afternoon.

I guess with Ser Corwyn away I’d be in the training yard.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 5):

God's Rest with one of other PC's and Sunbeak?

Gods' Rest is a good place, it would be up to the other PCs if anyone of them are starting with you there.

Maybe the sept?

The sept works. Though as the House didn't invest in one, the sept you have is of fairly poor quality. As is the septon in charge of it.

I will complete the intro thread first, please, before having you open another.

That works perfectly Vandrose.

Gyllen, it seems that none of the other PCs currently want to start with you at Gods' Rest. Do you want to start there with someone else or on your own?

What happened with the person who plays my brother? Is he still in?

He has informed me of some Real Life things going on and he hasn't completed his character yet. I still hope to see him do so.

You may feel free to wait with your campaign thread if you like.

I have no problem even coming in late, since I believe I've gone pretty far. :)

In reply to Gyllen Cragborn (msg # 18):

I hope I will be able to meet up with my best friend Gyllen!

You will. However, her intro thread continues to take us in directions I have not expected.

In reply to Sharra Sylvayn (msg # 19):

Your friend will have some great stories to tell.

FYI, Gyllen has decided to leave the game.

I don't think I am right for this game.  Given the role I had made for myself relied on another player character and they have disappeared I am unsure of what to do.

Thank you for all of your hard work, but I think I should bow out of the game.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 22):

Goodness, that was sudden.

Keeping the potential PCs out of the picture is becoming a nuisance and I was thinking about that yesterday. Considering if we should just turn them into Narrator Characters (NCs) and I had planned to bring that up with you today.

I have already brought it up with Brynden in PM and he is thinking about being a squire to a NC.

This also affects Daelor who was supposed to be our Steward, but he hasn't been around for three weeks. I've tried to get in touch with him, but with no luck.

How do you feel about turning these PCs or potential PCs into NCs?

I have no problem with turning them into NCs.

After considering, Brynden has decided to go ahead and leave the game.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 27):

Yeesh, we may need to recruit some new players

https://www.boredpanda.com/cha...utm_campaign=organic

Two new characters have joined the game. Feel free to introduce yourself and post IC with the others.

And one of them just bowed out for reasons unrelated to the game.

Keep ‘em coming. We will find a good fit.

Hello all!

My character profile is included below, but to summarise Ser Galad is a knight of noble blood who has served House Sylvayn for the last fifteen years [with the first five of those as ward and squire]. He is well-known throughout the keep and would have pre-existing relationships with most characters. He's dutiful, and perhaps a little haughty. He also has a baseborn daughter, Rose, who serves as a handmaid in the keep.

---

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)


Galad is impressively built and stands a shade over six and an half feet tall and strikes an imposing figure on the battlefield when decked out in battle array. His blue eyes and blonde hair denote an Andal ancestry, as is common to many of his brethren among the Vale Knights.

He is competent at court, presenting himself politely, even assertively among the nobility, though he lacks the true refinement of the heirs and lords of great houses. He is literate, and versed in the standard reading of a Vale Nobleman – military histories and the Seven-Pointed Star. He is even a competent baritone singer, and has been known to lend his voice to rousing choruses at feasts and marching songs.

Despite this, Galad is more at home on the battlefield than at court. He wields a great-sword one handed and often fights with a huge tower shield in his other hand. He rides a huge white destrier and has shown some promise in the tournament lists, though he has yet to win a tournament.

Background
Galad is the only son of Ser Eustace Hunter, Grandson to Lord Eon Hunter “Old Lord Hunter”. As his father’s brothers are on bad terms, there was little opportunity for advancement in Longbow Hall, and Ser Eon arranged to have Galad squired out to House Sylvayn.

He earned his knighthood ten years ago, at seventeen, after a brutal and protracted battle with the mountain clans during which he was badly wounded - though he recovered quickly.

-Maeve and Rose-
At 16 he caused a minor scandal at House Sylvayn when Galad sought Lord Sylvayn’s permission to marry – a lowborn and orphaned servant of the house known for her beautiful silver hair. Lord Sylvayn granted permission on the basis that the girl, Maeve, was pregnant, though his father Ser Eustace was most wroth and refused to attend to small ceremony.
Maeve gave birth to a darling child named Rose who had her father’s hair and eyes, and her mother’s petite figure. However, within the month Maeve caught a chill and within two weeks she had died, leaving the infant in the care of a father barely out of adolescence.

House Sylvayn showed great magnanimity with Galad during this time, fostering his infant daughter within the keep while he completed his training and earned his knighthood. Rose now serves as a young handmaid to the ladies of House Sylvayn and is well-loved by smallfolk retainers throughout the keep. A rumour holds that her mother Maeve may have been a bastard of House Sylvayn but this remains unconfirmed.

In reply to Galad Hunter (msg # 33):

Welcome!

Thank you!

I’m hesitant to insert myself into your thread as it seems a rude thing for a knight retainer to do. I’m also a little perplexed by the quandary the house is facing, as it is hard to host a proper wedding without a proper sept!

Let's have Galad start somewhere else. What is he doing at Arrowmark?

We can start things on brand and have him training with members of the household guard?

Vandrose, are we rolling for House Fortune this month? If not, which resource do you want to increase by 1? If we are rolling, I'll have the Steward make the roll.

Do we have a steward as a player or has that position become NPC?

We had a PC Steward, but unfortunately, he hasn't been around. So it would be a NPC role. For now.

I am willing to do whichever is best for the house. My guess is that if it is to be a straight +1, we should likely use it to build up land so we can get a good Sept.

Does that mean that you want us to play it safe and take the +1. Or do you want to take a chance and have us make a roll?

We need to roll at least once per quarter, so either works.

Yes, please, let’s play it safe and take the +1 this round. Give us a sense of accomplishment, lol. We can be brave and risk a roll for next time.

Certainly. And place it in Land?

Yes, unless anyone objects.

As an FYI, even if you fulfilled all the requirements to build a sept right now, it would still take too long to build it to be of use for the wedding ceremony.

So you may want to consider a wider perspective when you decide where to put that point.

If my thinking is correct, we can’t build anything else until our land score is higher. Almost every aspect is about 8 or 9 points from reaching the next level. Land is 7 points away currently.

So we are in for a bit of waiting even if we do the monthly checks.

For future reference, there's 24.23% probability to get a negative result (Curse or Decline) on the House Fortunes roll. The other 75.77% you get a positive result (Blessing, Boon, or Growth).
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:40, Wed 05 Aug 2020.

Awesome. Thanks for breaking that down.

Currently, we fulfill the prerequisites for the following

* Lifestyle Wealth Holdings (that we don't already have): Chapel, Court, Crypts, Festivals, Gardens, Greenhouse, Library, Observatory, Solar, Townhouse (maybe), and Trophy Room.
* Estate Wealth Holdings: We already have as many as we can currently have.
* Personage Wealth Holdings: Artisan Craftsman, Assassins, Bailiffs, Engineer, Master Artist, Magistrate, Saboteurs, Scholar, Spy Network, Steward, and Tournament Master.
* Settlement Wealth Holdings: Abbey, Black Market, Gaol, Healing Site, Military Academy, Minstrel's Seat, Salvage Operation, Tolls, Tournament Field, Trading Inn


Actually affording them is a different matter.

I agree that storing land for an upgrade to small town is a good long term plan, and a good way to spend our first month working toward.

For house fortunes rolls, trying to work on wealth is probably the best bet, since our mine makes that more lucrative (with luck it would  be quicker to focus wealth and then buy the land through a resource swap).

Given that we get a discount to artisans (from the smelter) they seem like a really good idea too! Perhaps a weapon smith (admit my fighter bias here)

Perhaps we can store glory for land and use wealth that we earn through fortunes for other wealth holdings?


Just my hot take.

Thank you for the insight. Rolling might bring us wealth more quickly each time, so it might not be a bad idea to pump into faster than others.

Regarding Character sheets, I see that Vandrose has a very impressive template. Should I be using the same one, and if so, how?

I've rolled up starting wealth and equipped Galad. He doesn't own a longsword, but I presume the training ones are supplied by the house [his own greatsword is a vicious weapon and probably not suitable for simple training].

I'm also guessing that Galad and Ser Westbook will start a couple of yards apart, so that they will need to close the distance with a move or charge before attacking?

The character sheet template is in the Rules thread. Please use it.

Please post your starting money/equipment in PM, for my review.

Yes, they will be provided for training.

And yes, you will start a few yards apart and would have to get closer before you attack.

I'm sorry if I was unclear. What I meant was plan and host. I've updated the pertinent IC post. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've started filling out the character sheet. It's gorgeous, and presents well, but I'm finding it a bit counterintuitive to actually fill out so it may take some time.

Just a quick bit of feedback on Sharra's thread - changing the original reading of the letter appears to make it hard for Vandrose and Sharra to respond, since they have now both made suggestions or asked questions that don't quite make sense in the context of the scene [i.e. "can we host it somewhere else"].

I would recommend that rather than editing a previous post, the Maester could clarify that since the letter has been sent to House Sylvayn, Lord Arryn's intention is clearly that they should both organise and host the event, even if the wording of his letter is ambiguous.

Apologies for the unsolicited feedback, but I didn't want to see the thread derailed!

That is a better way of handling this. Thank you.

It seems like there really is no perfect solution to this wedding business. I guess it's best to hold it on our lands, so that we get credit?

Ser Galad would be a strong advocate for a tournament to be held with the wedding! But that's not necessarily his decision to make [huzzah for retainers].

Are both of you going to the Septon to ask about the location of the wedding?

Yes, I think that would be a good idea.

Dirty ol' Septon.

Galad may lose one of his opening fights!

I guess either way he might cross paths with the Sylvayns soon if he gets his shoulder checked out by the Septa?

Oof, Gerold's definitely wiping the floor with me. I also made a slight miscalculation with action economy.

Just checking those numbers, is the 16 damage before or after armour? [I presumed the previous 12 was after armour]. After armour means it was a base of 24 damage.

On action economy, he's used one to move and one to attack, and I presume one to stand? The rules are a little unclear on standing [page 164 says it takes a greater action in armour over 5, and a lesser with 5 armour or less, while page 56 says you can stand in heavier armour as a lesser action if you pass an acrobatics test of 9. The knockdown rule on 174 just makes it a blanket rule of "lesser action to stand" with no mention of heavy armour].

I would suggest that it's simplest if we use the wording of the knockdown rule on 174, and just make it a blanket lesser action to stand, but I wanted to clarify with you before this fight finished.

I'm happy for Galad to lose here, I just want to clarify our knockdown rules before I'm fighting someone who wants to kill him.



I

You're right. I forgot to take armor rating into account for both your and his attack. But I've updated my post. I did take armor rating into account in all the previous posts.

I find it interesting that they have three different rulings for something like standing up. It would definitely have been conducive to ease of play if that hadn't been the case.

I would agree with you that it would be simplest to just use the lesser action to stand. So let's go with that.



As you didn't suffer any injuries or wounds, the septa don't have to check you. Damage is only "little more than a few cuts and scrapes." And when combat ends, all damage is removed. But combat hasn't finished yet, so you could decide to take an injury or a wound.

You'd also have to rest to remove your fatigue.

I could keep fighting, but I probably shouldn't deprive the house of three effective fighters for the whole day.

It was a fun introduction for Galad!

I know this is a very belated offer, but I see a previous player made a squire but then withdrew because his liege knight was also a player that left the game?

If the player was still interested in the game, I would be happy to take on the role of his mentor/knight.

Unfortunately, he isn't around anymore.

Unfortunate. Oh well, it was just an idea.

Do we have a Sylvayn family tree?

Not really. Though we have some names.

Founder: ???
Female Sylvayn: Married into House Stormwood
.
.
.
Grandfather: Derrick Sylvayn
Grandmother: Alysanne nee Stark
Grand uncles: Vance Sylvayn and Rodrick Sylvayn
Father: Devon Sylvayn
Devon's first Wife: Unknown.
Mother: Alicent nee Graceford
Uncle: Corwyn Sylvayn
Lord: Vandrose Sylvayn
Brother: Vardan Sylvayn
Sister: Sharra Sylvayn

So Corwyn and Vardan rode out alone?

That is correct. They were supposed to be PCs, but their players had real-life issues that delayed them, so I made sure that they weren't around. Until they were around. And now it seems that they won't be around, so, for now, they will be NCs instead.

So this isn't a hook for he me to ride out into the mountains alone looking for them?

That wasn't why they left. But things change. And you're the PC now.

Any NCs you want to involve in the planning/preparation for the wedding? The Steward, the Master of the Hunt (as a hunt was explicitly requested), whoever is responsible for the kitchen, whoever is responsible for making room for all those visitors, or someone else?

Lol. We will probably need to speak to everyone we can think of and get the whole household involved. I am up to role play as much of it as you like, but don’t want to wear you down playing all the roles.

Any new prospective players?

No one new on the way at the moment.

In regards to what we roleplay and what we skip, that is up to you. Let me know what you want to do on camera and off camera.

Thanks. I am thinking talking with the steward and kitchen first, then seeing where we stand from there.

Cool. Feel free to direct the IC thread in that direction.

Your mother might also have something she can provide in regards to the wedding preparations.

Where do you want to talk to these people? The main hall? The solar? Somewhere else?

Oh, yes, we must talk to mother!

I hadn’t even thought of calling a gathering. Great idea.  How about we do it in the solar?

Vandrose has chosen to leave the game.

That means that we don't have a PC Head or Heir for the house.

Any suggestions?

i have 2 separate ideas. one is to have him be npc for a short time then when the game gets a bit more stable have his death be a whole arc for our characters to try and find a way to deal with. Or have him die off now and decide a PC to be his "bastard" or "chosen heir" to take over the household.

The problem with that is that he has an heir. A younger brother that were a PC too. So if we are going to have deaths in the House, we'd have to have two.

And until then, there are decisions that the House needs to make. Decisions generally made by the Head. Decisions I'd prefer were made by players.

well we could do double deaths or we could have players vote?

Could the remaining players advise an NPC Vandrose, essentially the game-version of us deciding together (maybe with Sharra having extra say)? Then the players are making the decisions. Then, when it makes sense in-game, something can happen and we can all deal with that?

Is anyone interested in playing Vandrose? I'd like to avoid having my entire family die if possible. That would be hard on me.

What we have on the wedding so far:
* Planting flowers
* Make it as beautiful and wonderful as possible
* Lighted tent pavilions with bright color tops, sheer curtains, and open-air swaths
* Cheerful
* Entertainment, at least music and dancers, but not jugglers
* Strong wine, but not too strong
* Arrival day with food
* Hunt and dance day
* Wedding and bedding day with more food
* Everyone leaves day


Anything we're missing? Anything we should remove?

No highborn wedding would be complete without a tournament joust, surely? Especially with another house chipping in for the costs. Great way to meet the knights and nobles of the realm.

It's likely some who travel further would arrive a day ahead of schedule, making sure not to arrive late, so I could also see some smaller stuff the day before, though nothing nearly so formal as the wedding itself.


Having juggled professionally IRL, I'm saddened. But I danced professionally, too, so I'm over it. ;)


A small tournament could certainly make more room for the more martial characters to have some highlights, I would think. Probably a good idea.

If you want a tournament, it can be added. It would add at least a day to the schedule depending on how large you'd want it.



That is what Arrival day is for.

Given how Vandrose has been RP'd so far, it seems fine to have him lean of Sharra for advice and counsel, as long as that permits the story you had planned.

As a player, I don't mind the story shifting to lesser figures in the house, as perhaps we can then undertake some secondary missions together [Galad is looking for a more defined role in the house].

Ooh, tournament for sure!

Oops. Somehow I missed that multiple times.

Now that it's planed, it seems like a good time to skip ahead to the wedding and the tournament.

Arrival day.
Two days for a small tournament with 100 knights or so.
Hunt
Wedding

For a total of five days.

As it's about two months ahead. There is a possibility for two House Fortune rolls. As we didn't roll last time, at least one of them has to be a House Fortune roll. Do you want to roll once or twice?

I'm easy. I'll go with whatever others prefer. (I also don't know that part of the system well yet.)

i mean they can be good or bad but lets do the full i think to kind of get a taste for them as a group?

House fortune is a Status check?

Yes, with Steward bonus dice. And we have a NC Steward with 5+2B

No one else seems to have an opinion on the number of rolls. So if any two players please roll seven dice and drop the lowest two to see what we get.

19:39, Today: Catelyn Harlaw rolled 22 using 7d6, dropping the 2 lowest rolls with rolls of 3,4,6,5,3,1,4.  House Fortune.

21:04, Today: Lucas rolled 27 using 7d6, dropping the 2 lowest rolls with rolls of 6,6,3,6,6,2,1.  House Fortune.

Seems like a good result!

Growth and Blessing. Growth will improve one resource by 1 point. Which one would you prefer?

We'll get into exactly what Blessing gives you at a later stage.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 105):

If we invest in land, can we spend it right away?

What do you want to invest the Land point in?

When people start arriving, do you want to RP meeting and greeting each family? That will be a minimum of 14 houses. That way you get to interact with your guests and the Corbray and Melcom families who are binding themselves together in marriage as they arrive and get your first feeling for them IC. On the other hand, it may feel a little repetitive. Some options:
* Meet and greet all of them in the main thread for the wedding.
* Meet and greet all of them in a secondary thread or several secondary threads.
* Meet and greet some of them in the main thread.
* Meet and greet some of them in a secondary thread.

You will over the next few days have the possibility to interact with your guests as you choose.

It all depends on what you would find interesting.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 107):

Grassland would be my idea.

I'm fine greeting everyone, what say you fellow house members?

I would appreciate a bit of narrator guidance in terms of which characters are relevant to the upcoming story - i.e. I don't think it's necessary to meet all of the families "on screen" if ten of them are going to be irrelevant to the forthcoming tournament.

I there are particular houses that players have a reason to meet with [family relations, rivals, nemeses etc] then it might be worth meeting them even if they aren't relevant to this chapter of the story, as they may become relevant later on.

I think scenes should ultimately serve the greater story in some way, or why have them?

I think Galad Hunter's comments are good, which would lead toward the third or fourth option. As for main or secondary, that would probably best be based off how much other stuff the main one will hold and if secondaries are needed for related things (such as tournament stuff).

I will be posting today. My allergies have just been killing me lately.

Lost of good chunk of my internet connection for well over a week. Back up and running now.

Good to have both of you back!

Cat, feel free to interact with both the Corbrays and the Manderlys if you like.6

All the guests have now arrived and things move on to the great hall and the first meal.

Who are seated in the High Seat?

What do you want to do?

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 115):

I'll be posting today!

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 115):

The High Seat is for the family, right? My brother and I will be there, and probably Cat too.

Yes, it is generally for the family. Letting guests sit there is a way to honor them. During the feast after the wedding, it would be where the newlyweds would sit.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 118):

Then I think the heads of the two families who are getting married and our new Martel guest should be invited. I'm really curious what she's up to. Would it make sense to invite the bride and groom? I'm not sure if they are supposed to meet beforehand.

Having the couple meet before the wedding is not a problem, but having them in the High Seat before the wedding would be out of the ordinary.

I noticed that I accidentally skipped the Melcolm family in my list of families you were to be introduced to when they arrived. That's why I seated several of you with members of that family.

This seems to have turned into a solo game for you Sharra. Let me know how you want to proceed.

Well, I'm willing to continue as a solo, but I'd prefer if we could recruit some more players.

I need to do a few things and my character should be ready.  Pretty busy today, but should have it done by tomorrow.

Welcome!

Well met, everyone. I hope you will pardon my absence, life has been... well... *gestures at the state of the US*

In reply to Gray (msg # 126):

Lovely to have you back!

It is nice to be back. I see we have lost many of our kin along the way however. Still open to the idea of having an uncle Corwyn?

Well I'm joining the game I need diversions an attractive, wealthy Braavosi whose merchant trading family leader might be an Iron Bank Keyholder she's not in that level more a third cousin. But her allotment of the trading is 'substantial' and she's a Mummer (more a serious hobby). But was born disabled some.

Eh... forgive me but, but what do you mean?

You're playing a Braavosi merchant looking for a diversion, who has a family member who might be a Keyholder for the Iron Bank but she herself doesn't have that sort of clout. She does more than a fair share of the family's trade, but is also an actress on the side. Is that right?
This message was last edited by the player at 20:19, Wed 13 Jan 2021.

A serious hobby but could be a Mummer if she wishes, one should have a hobby. Swordplay is not ladylike.

  Corwyn is a bit progressive. He's seen a lot of combat, a lot of cultures, he'd rather share drinks than swords with someone. He also dearly loves his family, and would have absolutely taught his neice the ways of the blade should it have interested her. Probably a secret he'd have kept from his brother.

Well a ,later on with a teacher, paired daggers looks cooler at some point - I can't fit in everything at first but she'll have some combat training. But she might be able to hire a few swords if needed, later on.

If you can't fight for yourself, coin bought is fine.

Show me a lass who wasn't taught something to defend her honor, some. A husband whose a knight  or men-at-arms is better.

Hello!  New here, just making my introduction.

I will be assuming the Role, of Vardan Sylvayn.  Much of the character is done, just working out the fine details.

Look forward to gaming with you all :)

Ooh, welcome! So who is Vardan?

Vardan is the heir presumptive of the house. The character Gold had started creating. This Vardan will obviously not be the same as that Vardan. So there may be things posted in various threads about that character that no longer holds true when this Vardan joins the game.

I'll let Magenta talk about him beyond that.

In reply to Magenta (msg # 136):

*Hugs* Big brother!

*Hugs*sister!  So glad to be joining you!

Alright, a bit about me.

Big things:  I love Swordfighting.  Swear I will become someone Jamie Lannister is compared to, instead of the other way around.  Also been known to have a tussle or two in the bar.

Some other things the observant might notice:  I like finery, and I always travel by coach. I never join Jousts, and am hardly ever in the stables.  Will fight in Melee's all day though.  Also, I tend to be proper.

  Well, my character is Ser Corwyn Sylvayn. Brother to the late lord Devon and thus uncle to Shara, Vandrose, and yourself. He is a knight of renown, known for competing at the Tourney of Harrrnhal but more so having saved Lord Jon Arryn in battle during Robert's Rebellion. He's decent with a sword but really shines with a spear in hand. May have been the first to give the siblings lessons in combat so they could protect themselves and others.

Personality I keep envisioning is akin to a knightly (and younger) Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Though replace tea with alcohol, haha.

  Apologies if I have been holding things up. I had a busy weekend, but I've submitted my character sheet to Dragondog finally. I am excited to get to play with all of you.

EDIT: So we've got my knight, uncle to the lord of the house and his siblings, we have two of said kids as players, and an interesting sounding Bravosi merchant?  I also see Vandrose was on just the other day, as well as White, are they rejoining us as well?
This message was last edited by the player at 14:43, Mon 18 Jan 2021.

White is working on his character.

I noted that Vandrose was on too. His character is obviously done and he could post IC if he wanted to, but he hasn't reached out to me.

Awesome! Good to know.

In reply to Gray (msg # 141):

Uncle! I'm sure you'll always protect me.

 So Corwyn has a cadre of veteran squad of cavalry. With Corwyn having the Famous quality and them as personal guard, I feel like they should have a moniker or some title for the unit, something that shows they stand out. I'm kind of drawing a blank though. While they answer to Ser Corwyn, we all serve House Sylvayn.  That being the case, anyone want to help me name them?
This message was last edited by the player at 16:58, Tue 19 Jan 2021.

Well, Uncle.  I can think of a few.

Stone Crushers
Wildling Widowers
Mountain Tamers
Dreaded Thunder

Suppose it is what their purpose really serves.

Sylvayn Shields
Sylvayn Stompers

What kind of posting etiquette are we holding to? Should I wait for others to get to post or do I just keep going, letting them jump in wherever they can?

When we started we set a pace of one post every other day.

Right now the PCs are spread around the hall so you can post more frequently if you like.

Sorry for my delays.  Life been kinda rough.  Got this weekend off.  Might do some work tongiht before work, to finish the character and get RPing.  Sorry again :(

No worries. Real Life is always more important than the game.

Sorry my character should be done this weekend, I finished my cancer treatments so am recovering but in good spirits and kept my hair. Anyway need to round her out and get some help on gear choices.

Awesome! Good to hear that everything worked out and that you got to keep your hair.

Feel free to PM me and/or ask here about gear choices.

WOo, I am also free this weekend.  :)

Whew my character is done! yes.

Looking forward to interacting!

Oops got to do combat stats can do those later, unless you plan to come at me with a blade at the wedding. But I must play a song for the wedding with my double mandolin.

Well is that an introduction that is satisfactory for everyone especially knights and lords unwed and who might fancy her.

It seems the dinner has slowed down. Is there anything you want to do after dinner?

I have separate scenes in mind for Auriel and Corwyn.

Hrokar may want to continue his current scene with a visit to his dogs.

Garth might want to catch up with Sharra to make another play for sitting next to her during the tourney. And the princess wanted Sharra to introduce her to Galad.

These things obviously don't have to take screen time unless you want them to. They don't have to happen at all.

Let me know how you want to move forward.

Mingle ask older women for whom is available for marriage especially older gentleman of good quality not too older but seasoned but have a lust for living.

What would you consider too old?

Well low 40-ish but must love life and be of good quality.

Despite all my efforts in keeping this game alive, I don't seem to be able to do that.

So I'm closing the game.

I'm sorry. I especially apologize to Auriel who just joined the game.

Maybe it's too big ever think a smaller concept like Smallfolk Adventurers and Soldiers of Fortune would be easier?

What do you mean?

I'm really sorry, I was about to post, this week has just been brutal for me

Real Life is always more important than the game.

And this doesn't seem to be the time for this game.

Things should be better for me now

I appreciate that. And I'm grateful that you stayed with the game.

Think DnD no House folks like a Wildling game, one Merc group a House game rarely works.

That is not the kind of game I wanted to run in this setting. Having a House is part of the experience of a game in this setting.

Yeah, I think the House mechanics are what make AGoT unique from other fantasy games.
