(IR) 1st ooc-thread of the 5th IR (open)

[Serpenteye]

As per William Ronald's advice, I will extend a couple minor claims to lands already within or adjacent to my borders, these being the Hraak and Suss Forests, and the Blemu Hills.

The Hraak and Suss forests are yours. The Blemu hills are a part of the Bone March. You can claim the whole area and either come to an agreement with Knight Otu (who I just suggested could choose it, but really you are just as eligible) or you could fight it out.

--
Generally, minor natural features are not claimable. They are generally parts of a larger area. Major forests and mountain-ranges, or minor areas that are in an isolated location that can not easily be designated as a larger territory can be claimed separately.
For example, Adri Forest, or the Hellfurnaces are claimable (or claimed) as separate territories, Veluna City Park is not.

After some consideration I think I'll take up Ye'Cind the elven demigod of music, magical songs, and bards as my PC if that's alright with Serpenteye. He seems to be a good match with what inklings I initially had about the IR and my actual faction. If he were only the patron of elvish pirates, ninjas or dinosaurs as well it would be perfect.

What's the course of action for defining NPCs and NPC organizations in your factions? Is that post and gain approval as well? I've been busy with formatting the compilation documents, but I've got lots of ideas for defining my ill-defined territories further?

Pirates... So, your faction is also going to be Evil?

He's yours.

You can define your PC and NPCs freely. Just keep in mind that you (most of you) have few druids and don't go too overboard with high-level NPCs, because your Epic PL will be limited.

 

[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

Serpenteye, I have a rules question. I understand that Industrial Capacity is cumulative, if I invest Power Points in it on 1st turn, it will affect the number of power points I can spend in 2nd turn. But if I won`t put any PP into IC on 2nd turn, it will stay the at the same level on 3rd turn, right?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Alright, then, I will indeed place a claim on the Bone March. And Melkor: [sblock]If the reason you're wondering where the Hellfurnaces are is because you wish either to claim them or to enter the surface world through them, be warned that the Wolf God does not brook competition. If you're just idly wondering, they're in the southwestern Flaeness, marked in yellow on Guilt Puppy's map.[/sblock]

Yes, that's right. The only way of losing IC is to ruin the province, by scorched earth warfare, massive pillaging, High Magic or natural catastrophies.
Your effective IC (the amount of PPts you get out of the province each turn) can also be reduced by reducing the population in the territory. When the required population-level has been restored you will again get the maximum PPts from the IC.

Serpenteyes, I'd like to append these "notes" to my claim:

Instead of Psionic Demons, it will be Psionic Fiends (Demons, Devils, Yugolloths, etc).

In addition to my beholders and illithids, I'll add a share of Aboleths to my legions. With them come more low level slaves.

I'd like to add various Psionic Aberrations to my claim.

And (per William's advice) I'd like to claim some Illithid spelljammer vessels. Though there numbers should be really small (a handful at best), as they are relics of ages past.

 

[The Forsaken One]

No trolls either? Or maybe there are trolls in Zindia?

Don't feel bound by the (rather lame) names of the territories. Your faction can be anything you want (though not obscenely powerful), and doesn't necessarily have to have any Indian or Japanese characteristics.

Wait for the history, there will be plenty of trolls and little oriental

That's all good. Ehm, you know what I mean . It adds even more flavour, but is not really a huge power-up for your faction.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Okay, I have a basic idea of what I want to do.

Firstly, I hereby give permission for my e-mail to be posted in the megapost, it is: estickgold@gmail.com

I was thinking of running a group of small, relatively nondescript nations that are a front for a circle of powerful psions. I'd be looking at playing a high level psion, having relatively few territories, and large quantities of magic (possibly also something like the infiltrator trait in reverse to represent the trouble with trying to infiltrate a nation backed by very powerful telepaths).

This said, my problem is that I have really no knowledge of greyhawk, so I'm looking for suggestions on where I could place myself. Thanks all.

Also, what is the ruling for how much population/power points/IC/PLs we have at the start?

 

[Serpenteye]

These are reasonible inclusions. I Would like to claim (with Serpenteyes aproval) The Adri Forest, Gnatmarsh, Celedon Forest, Gamboge forest.

Eh, sorry. I was mistaken before, confusing the Gamboge with the Phostwood .
It does look like Edena has claimed the Gnatmarsh, or perhaps the lower Nesser river-valley, but the other territories are yours.
