JA's - The Princes Own - Start Date 15 June

[Graybeard]

How many traits should I start with?

 

[Fenris]

Ok, I read the opening. Obviously we can start with 1,000 gp for equipment from the second warrant.
Can we hang onto the first warrant (for jailing/get out of jail)?

For the last warrant, can we use the royal portal network to arrive on the day?

And lastly: For the very first warrant: any item? What limits are on that, MW, magic? ? And if we can't tell anyone about the nature of the letter or choice of the item, how can we show it to the merchant since he will know what the item is and the nature of the letter since he will keep it as payment?

 

[Fenris]

I am really just thinking of two threads
The recruiting thread which will double occ and rg and an in game thread and an individual thread for those that wish one

I really see the individual thread as a way for the players to really run a solo personal life when they are not involved with the party. For example how do you spend your days off / nights ...

Perhaps i may be wrong but i think it could add depth to the main action, sow the seeds for potiential adventures and help fill the downtime while we wait for post from everyone in the main thread

Hope this made sense

Ok, I see that. That sounds awesome actually as I KNOW there will be lots of little side conversations, encounters, and predicaments. They can be handled asynchronously from the group without slowing down the main thread.

Graybeard - Very good question..i had not thought of traits lets say everyone can start with two of them ..one to represent each parent

Fenris - Actualaly there were two warrants from the Lord High Justice. The first warrant has no expiration date on it and there was not condition mentioned...your character will have to make that decesion on his own. The second one is for the jailing and it is only valid if used within a 200 mile radius of your home. Otherwise it is null and void. And sorry if I was not clear..You may only use one of the two warrants so you have to pick and choose which one you want to use. The other one then becomes invalid.

There are no specification or limits placed upon the letter asking you to buy an item. Once again a decesion your character must make based upon personality. (See the game is not already started and I am messing with you )The warrant for it's purchase was with the letter, similar to a check you put in a letter to someone. You can simply present the warrant and they will not know the reason why.

Yes your travel options are to use the portal network either 5 days before the intake or on the day of the intake itself..your choice

[J. Alexander]

Okie Dokie...enjoy the mini trip

 

[Scott DeWar]

Gah! beenn spending half of the day trying to understand the letters while wrestling with pain[broke a molar] will re- read tomorrow.

 

[J. Alexander]

Scott Dewar - LOL well I am out of practice gaming so they may not have been the most well written ones..but they are designed to be kinda vauge...its part of the testing process to see how your character interrepts vague commands etc...think of it in the conxect for Henry !! comment "Will someone not rid me of this vile priest" and three members of his household take it upon themself to Kill Thomas Becket... and of course Henry II says that is not what i meant ......

 

[Scott DeWar]

if I read H II comment right, it seems every one wanted to rid him of 'that vile priest' and he was looking for 1 who wouldn't. do I read that right?

 

[J. Alexander]

Actually that is one of history mysteries ..Henry denied meaning that he meant for them to kill Becket and they acted on their own initative to do what they thought was the will of the king.

So with that being said..the letters give some direction it is up to each character to interrupt the letter as he or she chooses
Dont you just like little quadries and vagueness like this
