GM Xan Nes- Song of Ice and Fire Back from the Dead (Inactive)

Game Master Xan Nes

Hey all

Here to help bring back the campaign Timekeeper was talking about. Dot in here and discuss

I have sent out the PM! Now we wait. Also dotness!

Hello!

I am glad to see that we did not manage to completely die out with that game thread. Shame that our game came to end so abruptly but that is life.

Its nice to see that we have a new chance to give it a go. Thank you GM Xan Nes!

No problem. I ran the system in a rl game. Glad I get the chance to run it again. I took a quick look at the old campaign and am pretty surprised seeing as how the house rules were almost exactly the same, so it should be fun. I recommend just starting from the beginning, MAYBE redoing the house though that isn't nessesary.

Just as a heads up I am in school, but will try go for about a post per day atleast, and have weekends be a bit slower. Pass your thoughts along and I'll get to them ASAP

Dotting in.

I am fine with a do over. Not sure what concept I want to run just yet.

Any idea what time period you are thinking of running DM?

I'm good with starting over. I'm thinking about being from House Dayne. As I really like the family crest and how the members of that family are described.

And most likely go very social focused again.

Time Peroid would be between the Blackfire Rebellion and Roberts Rebellion. as for Dayne that sounds good.

So anywhere from 196AC to 282AC that is almost 100 years for us to play around with. I'm sure we could settle somewhere in There nicely.

Just to get the ball rolling if you guys are good on a new game the House was established. Just getting this out of the way.Establishment: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 Ok so that would be during the Andal invasion. Where as the time you would be playing in is between 196 AC to 282 AC

Knowing that, do we want to roll for the area where the House is from? Or pick?

Also the closer to 196 AC, the more interesting it will be for my character, as Dorne only joined the Seven Kingdoms in 187, so that is only 9 years if we start in 196. Just pointing that out.

I was thinking about 200 AC, just for a decent number.

location: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6) = 9

Acually you roll 3d6. And I wouldn't really count Kings Landing or Dragonstone however, As they both belong to the crown and I do not know if they have lesser landed nobles there.

Edit: Aaand... We end up back in the Riverlands...

Acually you roll 3d6. And I wouldn't really count Kings Landing or Dragonstone.

Read the PDF I have wrong :p

I won't lie, I was kinda hoping for the Stormlands!

Hmm well I'll leave to to a vote between the storm lands and the river lands. That die roll will count as a vote, so 1-1.

And finally for number of Historical events... number of Historical events: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

-EDIT- Wait a second. There are five of you. Everyone gets to roll 1 historical event. The Events will follow the order of posting

Ouch... Defeat... That be painful...

I pitty whoever takes the head of the House or Heir for this.

Ouch... Defeat... That be painful...

Defeat? I just rolled for the exact number of historical events. I will leave it to you guys for those rolls. :P And now I have decided you all just get to roll a set of historical events.

Oh that's a lot better then! XD

I guess I will be rolling with Marcus again but will be changing him a bit :P

I guess I will get him to be fully northren as well tweaking some of his skills around. Might push him more towards getting his own house or person, who strives for power (I admit though, I liked him being akin to general to house naelareon and striving to improve it as well being loyal)

And that being said.... LET DICE ROLLS!!

First historical Event: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12... which gets us Ascent

+1d6 to Influence, Lands, Power and Wealth! Woot woot

Sounds good.

+1d6 to Influence, Lands, Power and Wealth! Woot woot

Interesting. Alright.

Ohh and for base results

Defence: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 3) = 25
Influence: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 6, 5, 5, 1) = 25
Lands: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 6, 3, 6, 5) = 30
Law: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 3, 1, 5, 3) = 22
Population: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 6) = 27
Power: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 5, 1, 6, 1) = 27
Wealth: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 6, 1, 4, 6) = 26

Everyone gets to reroll one stat, and the better result is chose. All modifiers from location and historical events will ofcourse, be applied after.

Do you want to stay in the river lands or move to the Storm lands? Or no real care?

I would roll, but knowing me I'd get a really bad roll.

Not sure if I want to go with Weyland or perhaps change things a bit.

For now, I'll roll a Historical Event. 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) = 13 Favor

Hmmm... lots of different ways to go here.

Ok so two positive things in a row.

Just to keep things organized:

Historical Events:
Ascent
Favor

Oh we get to reroll a stat!

Well then I'll try to reroll Law since it is the lowest... No one gets to laugh the really bad roll that might follow...

Law: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 1, 1, 3, 2) = 19

Well that isn't terrible but... It's still bad.

Think I should try for a Historical Event? XD
I'm going to try!

3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6) = 13

... Are we aloud two Favor?

Mhm. Depending if we are also in the same house again or how we get things out but this will be quite interesting.

Reroll: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 3) = 25 so I guess I will choose to improve our Law as it is our lowest stat and only thing I can get up at least with a little amount of stuff

I think so, since it can take many different forms. but GM will decide :P

I'll say yes on the second favor. Just for a different reason than the first.

No third favor though.

This will be my character name and such... I can't really do the crunch till I get home in a couple of hours but she does have a picture if anyone cares! XD

Edit: Then what happens if someone rolls favor again? Reroll?

Yes on a third favor it's a reroll.

Historical Events
Ascent
Favor
Favor
?
?

Whip or daggers?

Dammit, I was actually designing this guy until I saw your message again regarding houserules being almost similar to our old game.

Could you please add them to your Campaign info or make a small spoiler wall to explain them? Was going through Marcus (revising him as well changing his name) depending on the House. Waiting also for others to tell their opinion

~shows up~

Yosh, I have arrived. I have no idea what's going on as of yet. So we are going to be House Dayne? That's fine. Is this a homemade House or an actual House?

Hmm, I guess I will reroll...

Defense: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 1) = 14

Well keeping the original obviously. Terrible rerolls but the originals were not awful.

I'll have to think a bit once we get started.

I enjoyed Darne a lot but I may go with someone older cause the stats were rough...we shall see.

We're not going to House Dayne, my character is from House Dayne.

We where actually building a House. Or we could keep House Naelareon since we rolled River lands again. Unless you're like me and want to move it some place else! And make a whole new House with an older character. Since the House we where building still has no Lord or Heir or anything when it comes to family or name...

Would you like to roll a historical event? We need another.

Athera you need to roll aswell. Made a gm call of five events. One for each player. :P as for the house rules adding it to the campaign tab now.

I already did. This is Timeskeeper! :P

:P misread on my part.

Alright house rules are in. New addition is that whips can't damage people in metal armor, a rule that has been enforced at mist of the Larping events I have been at. And removed the chagest to XP cost for abilities that were in your old campaign.

Gm opinion on changing from the river lands to the storm lands: It's up to you. The stat arrangement is similar enough it doesn't bug me. If you said the north it would probably be a no, but I don't see any issue in the storm lands.

Okay, I do have a question for my fellow players. Athera doesn't really have the best fighting skills, and doesn't have a lot of health. Should I take the Cohort quality or would one of you like to be her guard?

Edit:
Also here is what I have for her so far.

Oh...I suppose I should roll an event yes?

Event: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5) = 11 Looks like Infrastructure. If I could I would choose Influence and Power. I like the idea of having roleplay working the lawlessness of our Lands.

It depends on what the other players want to do. I enjoy an intrigue character so I might be a little on the weak side but I'm gonna try and be a bit better then I was last time as fair as strength is concerned.

That said, I don't have to be the ruler, if someone else wishes to be the heir or whatever I can be a Maester or something of that nature. Otherwise....100% fine playing another heir. I found Darne fun.

Edit: If everyone else is fine with it. I wouldn't mind recruiting one or two more? I don't know how many we have...I think 4 players currently?

I'm fine with you taking the Heir or Lord slot again. Darne did well!

We have five players. Just I think DarkestHeart(Tristen) is in the middle of moving which is why he hasn't replied.

Hmmm let's see what the dice decide for me.

Age: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) = 12 Middle Age...I may adjust that to just Adult

Status: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8 I don't know why I rolled this, this will more be determined by role/whatever.

Role: 2d5 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 Expert/Schemer...That is basically what I wanted anywho. Will lean Schemer

Background: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 [ooc]Significant Deed...ooo fun

Goals: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 Love...BWAHHAHA, again... I play flirty characters anywho so it fits my wheelhouse.

Motivations: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 Hatred...Hmm, works well with a significant event!!!

Virtues: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 Devoted, works once again with Significant Event.

Vice: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 Greedy...damn that word I couldn't figure out it. Hmmm, power hungry, lusty for money...works well ^^

You can bring in a friend or two to f ya want. This system works a bit better with more players. If you guys like the general lawlessness that is good with me.

As for the guard situation, but if I remember correctly there is a benefit that gives you a character with lower status as a option to tag along. I don't mind seeing that, though if everyone takes it it could be annoying.

Historic Events
Ascent
Favor
Favor
Infrastructure

Starting off with ascent sounds awesome, though you guys have ALOT of boosts at this point :p Hopefully there is atleast a decent story for this apparently mighty House.

Which we should really name... The house needs a name. Suggestions anyone?

Hmm since we aren't getting any more votes on location, I'm saying just let another set of dice do the talking. If it rolls river lands again then that is where we are. Results of Kings Landing and Dragonstone are rerolled.

I do understand the desire for a change of scenery. The game I ran irl happened to be river lands aswell.

permanent location: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14 Well.... Looks like you are residents of the Reach.

I am not great at names to be honest, that's like the last thing I think of.

Ok...I think I have an ok idea for my character at least stat wise..Ugh, here he is.

Do we have an idea of what our House's Starting Status is?

Edit: So here we go, 25 starting Influence, Reach gives +10 to Influence, Ascent gives 1d6, Favor gives 1d6, Favor gives 1d6, Infrastructure gives 1d6 (if I get my way...mwahahha).

We I guess need the last event to see what the ending total will be but starting it looks....Status 4 but possible Status 5 house.

Ok...I think I have an ok idea for my character at least stat wise..Ugh, here he is.

** spoiler omitted **

Nice. Good to see Shadow Cats getting love. :P and a water dancer aswell neat.

So I may have to possibly Adjust down to a Status 3 as a possible Heir (I didn't want to spend a Destiny point on it...it seems something that should be roleplay reward not a forced thing. If I win against a family member so be it, if I fail. I deserve to be second best).

But otherwise the character should be reasonable. Oh for the love of potatos..I forgot Language >.<. Can it just be 3 for free. I feel reading is something every PC should be able to do >.<

Yes and depending on how good those bonus rolls turn out to be you have a slim chance of Status Six.
