Thanks!

Lovely, those are very evocative.

In reply to Gerhard de Colmar (msg # 39):

Nice! Feel free to put them on your character sheet as well as additional information! Thank you all so far for the quality and willingness to research stuff on your own. You are clearly having fun doing it and so am I. At the moment it’s midnight, but in tomorrow I’ll see how to advance the story. I’d say in the morning, but if the day is gonna be as hot tomorrow as it was today I’m gonna use the mornings to get some chores done before roasting in the sun. Lot’s of windows is fun yes, but even with the double glazing, the sun roasts us. (airconditioning is not a standard thing over here in Europe)

Sounds good, I will drop a post in within the next hour or so - it's been a bit of a hectic day of late, so just gathering myself and getting myself in the right headspace to right something properly.

I'm gonna wait today to see if Roland has something specific he wants to do before typing out a reaction to all excellent feedbacks.

About money and coinage. Of possible interest to our local merchant, Helena, and perhaps someone else:

Executive summary: total chaos, money from everywhere, my head is spinning.

Also here's a decent map, because who doesn't like maps (consider only the orange and light green parts, the rest is later).

Taken from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundian_State

which is the key article for the real, I think.

Hey! Good find.

You even got Colmar on there.

can't think of anything specific right now, though it doesn't help that i got like zero sleep last night. feel free to move ahead.

In reply to Anne de Arras (msg # 46):

You will find that this map is in the map section for this game as well :)

For the coinage, feel free to post it in the historical context thread/topic.

Noted, though I’ll probably not have the time today anymore. This is a quick check on the toilet. Going for a walk with my wife next and then we’re watching the desolation of Smaug together so she can get all upset with Peter Jackson’s take on her favorite book.

Fair enough

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 49):

Ooops! My bad, I never thought to check that section before I posted.

Sorry for the late reply. I cannot seem to find my focus today, so the post was a bit rushed, just to get it out.

Don't worry, this heat is messing with my head too :) And I have an enemy now in that Catherina I guess, which is good. Always have an enemy. They are a great help.

Today got away from me unfortunately, but i'll post tomorrow

Having a bit of the same issue, will post this evening - it's been a bit of a draining week so just need to recharge the batteries before I can get something onto paper!

Weekends have a way of vanishing...

I realized it was sunday evening all of a sudden and I hadn’t checked yet. I will reply to whatever needs replying tomorrow morning.

I will try and get something in shortly - it's an unfortunate side effect of coming slowly out of lockdown that suddenly everyone starts putting on social events at the same time, and it's quite exhausting if you're a natural introvert and aren't match fit (so to speak) for extended social interaction. It's lovely to see everyone, but also does take it out of you!

I did not get to posting today. My apologies. I will try in the morning!

I will be getting my second vaccine shot today so I might be out for a few days.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 61):

No worries!

Pray tell, what is a 'vacsin'? Some sort of alchemical cure perchance?

Nay, dear lady. Tis the new release from the Holy Father, a new and most disturbing encyclical on the sin of vacuity.

Prithee, thankest thee, I shalt remain in this place until the dawn. Rememberest to tippeth thy innkeepers and their daughters!
