Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Shalimar]

I think the crown would do what it can to put a positive spin on such a thing, media-wise. We support her, she'll do well representing the British people, learning about her new power and experiencing a new culture will be good for her, blah, blah, blah.

Seeing as no one really sees it as divine right anymore, nobles are people like everyone else, after all. She'll just have a bigger spotlight on her, especially back home.

Did she get an audience or anything? She'd have a bit of a crush on Prince Harry. Not really important though. Any informal reaction amongst her peers?

At this point, I'm just excited to get started, feel free to tell me shut up

I'm not sure if more material is needed or would satisfy your itch, but Wikipedia has a good entry on the upper class of the UK. The entries on the nobility are pretty good too.

I discovered them when trying to work out the aristocracy for a homebrew world a few years ago. Then I decided to go with a more Continental model instead, which was much messier.

I had read all of those aside from the one on Upper Class, good find, thank you.

Actually, looking through the Peerages of the UK, there was a Baron Dinorben of Kinmel created in 1831 for Edward Hughes. He was succeeded by his son who died shortly after his father. In reality there was another son who was disinherited, if we go with him not being disinherited, his status as a military man fits right into the family history I was going with for Clover. I'll just match Clover's family up with the Barony of Dinorben and the Kinmel Estate.

That's handy. The house even has a website.

Yeppers, I thought so too. Only a slight bump too, Baronet to Baron. It entitlesher to be called The Honorable Clover Hughes , yea, I don't see anyone actually calling her that either, nor would she ask for it.

I would have read this issue for the first and last time about early late 2000, early 2001. At the time, most backissues dating to the 80s were dirt cheap and a small chain of comic stores downstate was going out of business. So for about two years they were selling all backissues for a dollar each. Later on it got down to a dollar each and buy one, get one free. I plundered them shamelessly.

But yeah, I have very good long term memory too.

Oh yeah, forgot, I'm ancient. lol

S'okay, but really, stuff like this, go ahead and add it to your background. If you put anything in there that makes me go WTF? I'll let you know.

Yikes. Like I say, I'll let you do this research

BTW, I don't think I want to start the game until this is over:

Let me put it this way - everyone's about to take a 3-4 day vacation whether you want to or not

That's fair. Not that I'm not desperate for hot GL action, but it would be really annoying to just get going and then two days in the boards go offline for three or four days.
