Raise a goblet and herein allow your musings, conversings, and merriment which hath naught to do with the chronicle of tales be commenced.

Well, I think the rules part of my character sheet is covered. We just have the social and background details to work out.

I do have some questions.
Do you want to use Traits? If so, any limitations you’d like to put in place outside what the book spells out?
How do you feel about the various optional rules on page 88 in the old book? I may make some adjustments to the sheet if some of these are in play.

Thank you, very much, for making this possible. I look forward to seeing what stories we come up with using this game.

Welcome, Sir Gerod and Torah! Thank you for joining the game. I'm looking forward to what we make happen here.

In regards to Traits: I like the concept quite a bit, and I think it fits the Arthurian mode perfectly. So I will allow each player to select up to three Traits to begin play with. You'll have opportunities to earn new Traits through your characters' experiences in gameplay.

Your character sheets should only be visible to you and to me, not to each other, so you may list your Traits there. Don't tell the other players what your character's Traits are - reveal them through roleplay!

I'm going to rule that you may not begin play with an Obsession. That strikes me as something that would be more appropriately "earned" through your character's experiences in the campaign.

As for the Optional Rules, here are the rules I think I'd like for us to use:

• Increasing Skills with Complete Successes (on Complete Success, throw again; another Complete Success means an immediate Skill increase of one point)
• Specific Brawn and Presence Descriptions (define your Brawn and Presence with descriptive elaboration and earn modifiers to related tasks)
• Increasing Brawn and Presence with Fame (increase Brawn or Presence with 5,000 Fame)
• Partial Combined Numbers (a relevant Skill may be combined with Brawn or Presence, adding half of the less-important attribute to your total throw)

I think that I'd prefer not to get too in the weeds with Variable Fame, instead assuming that, as a heroic knight and his companions, you'll all share in relatively equal amounts of Fame for your collective deeds.

And while I like the fiat of Storyteller Fame, I'm going to stick to what the rules have outlined for Fame awards, at least to begin with, since this will be my first time actually running this system.
