[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5771999, member: 28487"] I htink that the problem is that generally the PCs get to talks to the Duke. In the fiction and reality nobody got to talk to the Duke with out talking to pretty much all his flunkeys and getting them onboard first. Now nobody really has the time to roleplay 50 encounters at parties, court sessions and what not with every flunkey. So some way of meausring the sucesses of the trivial encounters, with the option to play out all or some in full combined with a way that is more engaging than a skill challange. In a movie or video game it might be done as a bunch of short cut scenes. In a ttrpg there need to be someway spend and accumulate the necessary social resources to overcome the obstacles. In the final audience with the Duke the deal is pretty much done only the degree of cooperation is to be decided. At least that is what I would imagine as rules for the "talky bits". [/QUOTE]
