You can skip the House Fortune roll two out off three months for a +1 to one resource. The rules unfortunately doesn't give times to change Land holdings. As if they don't change.

And Madness.Family definitely has a Targaryen somewhere...

In reply to Purple (msg # 285):

About the only way to add land is conquest...maybe marriage, or having it gifted to you.

In reply to White (msg # 288):

One can buy it as well?

That is +1 per skipped roll. It seems as if it's there or not. Communities don't grow. And no one builds roads.

Maybe, if another family was desperate enough to need to sell.

So not in set mechanics like House creation, but by role play?

That is a mechanical choice made by the head of house.

If the Head of household is wanting to manage the house I will play something besides a steward.

My bad. The rules say you must choose, I assumed that meant the head of house.  But perhaps it is the group. If there is a House Fortune roll it is made by the steward.

We should focus on getting a maester instead of ports and inns and whatnot. There'll be time for that and if someone gets hurt, port won't help much.

So for every 200 gold dragons, we can increase a resource by +1.
Merchants and Mercenaries!

Soon there'll be Lannisters to raid, ahahaha

Some players were interested in the sea and may disagree. I'm just bringing it up for that reason. You are the ones who have to decide on how to invest your resources.

Also, we shouldn't forget that banner clan gets their own resources to allocate. They might they what we cannot afford.

If you decide to invest in a banner house.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 301):

No one was against that so far.

So two sons and two daughters requires an investment of 45 Influence points. More than I thought when I made my comments about more daughters. Ate we saving the rest?

Nor have we officially come to the point where we decide Power holdings. And everyone hasn't had a say yet.

For now we have:

1.Purple as young head oh house
2.Green and I as his sisters

No sons and daughters were defined so far.

Last I heard,  Purple was a son. And so is Gold.

I think they are saying daddy died recently and purple was just elevated.

In reply to Purple (msg # 266):

Purple said son or Head of House depending if the legendary Head of House is living or not. Since you are saying you have no use for last legendary Head of House alive, we kinda assumed he is head. We hadn't heard from Gold in a while so I forgot what he suggested.

That hasn't happened yet. And we don't know that it will or even that Purple would be the one to take over. We haven't gotten to the point of assigning roles yet.

What I said was if a PC was the glorious one, there would be nowhere for him to go. I didn't say that an NPC couldn't fill that role.

And if a PC was heard of House he would need the permission of three narrator and the other players.

And if you think you can have four family members and not invest any Influence,  that's not going to happen.

Honestly, let's just start assigning roles and be through with it. Some of us have ideas, we developed them, are developing relationships... It makes little sense being there at a standstill just because someone might have had different idea 15 pages ago. In one similar game, everyone who played just added one House aspect in  order that was determined by a die roll. Here, I feel like I am constantly being stonewalled by "what if someone does something else..." and I am not sure what are we waiting for.
