Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 8798891" data-attributes="member: 67338">blood seems a very antiquated idea. if the king/queen is doing a good job (metaphorically the trains are all running on time) why would anyone want to change... and as for 'family' the 3 kids are still a ??? in my mind, what happened when the 1st born came of age to rule at 26? what happened years later when the twins did... there there children. I just assume that when you marry you BECOME family (on a legal and spiritual and mental level) if we are not in Birthright or similar with blood line powers, does it matter who's blood you have?of course but I am at this point looking for ideas to work WITH the idea, not just shoot it down.this reminds me of the Mummy movies where the priest was punished with immortality and super magic and locked in with bugs to eat him forever... but if he ever got out he would be all powerful.     Was it dumb to give him almost god like powers, yes, but if you rewrite it so they didn't make him all powerful and immortal, then the movie never happens.   What I am looking for is ideas to make the game run not ideas why not to run the game if that makes sense.  So go ahead and poke holes so I can fill them, but don't just keep saying 'its not what happened in real life'</blockquote>
