Library it is then :)
Also I am working currently in Google Docs so I will be making it to be more understandable and workable + everyone can see it instead of going back all the time here in recruitment thread.
Will be done in the next 1h or so
Thank you for that. I was just thinking about creating something more easily referenced.
I'd be fine with a Library. Garran isn't much for reading, as he didn't really learn to read and write until after he came to work for the family.
I assume there isn't anything you can buy with law points...but otherwise I think we've settled into a rather lovely start for the house.
Also, I am fine with the coat of arms you came up with though I would prefer silver over gold for the motif. Gold tends to indicate we are generous...could be both a good and bad reputation for a house.
I think we don't have to pay for the maester as one of players is playing it yes? Same as the heirs.
Hmm hmm hmm, I am beginning to think we are coming close to having our house creation finished o.o...Hazzah
We're buying the Magistrate with Law. Otherwise, yes, we seem to have gotten most of it set up.
Did anyone see the history paragraph I wrote up, and if so, what did we think?
Ah, forgive me I missed that getting caught up in the whole trying to finish up the house bit.
It puts everything together rather neatly, though I am having a brain fart at the moment on trying to come up with names (names were always the hardest thing for me to come up with and to be honest I used a name generator for game of thrones to come up with this one ^^)
Google Docs is up and done with the House Naelareon resources.
Link will be under my name all the time seeable :)
Why not buy 2 Hamlets, you should still have enough for 2 Landed Knights, and 4 Population leftover.
I will create the Knightly Houses
You can also add Road to another Domain
Of course let me know for flavor, if the are specialist in some kind of military unit to complement your House.
As well as possible "matches" to marry if any, or I will add myself.
Adding 1 Extra Domain (Plains) with Feature (Road) on it since that seems to be what people want
What do others say about 2 Hamlets?
EDIT: If someone wants to have rights to edit, just say so
Should be fine to have a second hamlet. I don't see anything else we really were holding onto the population for.
@Warlord Is there anything else that we can spend law on or is that mostly a stat to determine crime and house roll?
Hmm...if we were to have a specialist unit, I wouldn't even know what to choose other then perhaps spear and shield.
Edit:@Warlord are you already with the Married Well and Happily Remarried?
@Cassondria Would you prefer your deceased mother to be the Well connected individual or would you prefer it to be my deceased mother to be the one who was well connected?
If we want to build a second Hamlet around the Trading Inn, it would make sense. The Hamlet doesn't impede on the upgraded functionality of the Inn, and people usually settle around Inns like that.
Bailiffs are helpful to a certain point.
But Gaol is worth only to reduce cost of Garrison units.
How much would they cost?
bailiffs cost 5 Law and 2 Power each, they have decent upgrades
Gaol I'll check when I get the book as we always get bailiffs in my gaming group lol
Ok just going over some silliness if in pickle moment.
In our house we have so far
3 Dedicated Fighters close range (Marcus, Garran, Lucen)
1 apprentice (Darne)
1 Dedicated Long range (Garran)
1 apprentice (Cassondria)
And one unknown Matthias...cause I haven't seen anything stat wise from the knight.
Then in the political side of things if stuff gets hairy.
2 Persuasive fighters (Cassondria, Darne)
3 Information Gatherers (Lucen, Garran, Marcus)
1 Deceiver (Darne Plans on add 2b to bluff as fast as possible)
Is that about right?
I count as an information gatherer?
Garran has learned enough of politics to get by, but I don't know I'd call him an information gatherer.
It does sound like a baliff if he offers upgradablity would be useful. I think we can hold off on the Gaol though until we start trying to raise a sizable army?
Ah, when I was going through the various things on the book I was looking heavily into the influence combat. For stuff like getting dirt on others through people of your own status/stature, you actually would make a good dirt digger (Forgive me having brain fart). For instance, out on a hunt with a visiting lord you could chat up the other hunters about their lord.
Should I add Baliff in our House list?
Hm, Information gatherer does sound ok regarding Marcus. I am thinking to get 1 rank off from Endurance and putting it on Cunning / Knowledge or Warfare.
Thinking which direction I want to go but I would consider myself more battle orientated so maybe Warfare. Depends what our 2nd Knight will do
You will need someone with decent warfare for mass combat or at least good specialties.
No jousters I see, good money making there.
Hmmm...do you guys think I should adjust for that? (Given that I do in fact have a horse)
Edit:Though I am a bit short to buy a tourney lance (40ss)
If I did, I'd probably drop the 1B sneak & 1B Decieve
Hmm...sure sure, I'll adjust to be a jouster. It'll just add more flavor to the character style. Plus...jousters get all the ladies. I'll remove the spear for now from my cost and pick up the tourney lance.
Well, I sure as heck won't be. Maybe an archery competition, but not a joust.
There will be plenty of competitions and places to use your abilities.
This is a couple of years before Dragons Dance events that sees the last dragons die.
well, I guess there is then time to improve our abilities (ranks) as we get further in game but I would say Marcus is more of type person who goes forward in
- Warfare
- Persuasion
- Fighting
- Cunning
and Awareness
Ah, who knows. Will have to play with him so far to get an idea/feeling on him, as how he will turn out
Would the house provide the styled armor or would I need to purchase that myself?
Going forwards I see probably a focus in Deception (Bluffing specifically), Stealth (Sneak specifically), and depending on if since his father can't go into combat himself and he is dragged in to lead the house probably fighting and warfare.
Purchase your own armors, you do not have the Wealth Holding for that, or castle forged weapons.
Hmm....that's some expensive stuff given I would need to lose my horse just to get it. I think I will keep the spear for now, try to earn a bit of gold in the grand melee to purchase the armor and tourney stick
Tourney lance you will get them for free to participate in the tourney.
Buy splint armor or mail, shield and weapon.
Destrier are not as good as you may think, coursers are cheaper and better all-round horse.
That would be my suggestion. Save some money for an overall faster horse, and get some decent armor. Maybe a shield.
Well, I could get all that for now
11 GG = 2310 SS
- 600ss Courser
- 600ss Scale/Coin
- 600ss Bastardsword
- 30ss Shield
- 1ss Backpack
- 30ss Tent, Pavilion
- 16cp 2x Waterskin
- 3ss Travelers garb
- 100ss Nobles garb
- 46ss (Miscalleneous)
- 300ss Far-Eyes
0 SS left
EDIT: I will add 2nd Hammlet to House Naelareon list + 1st Bailiffs
If I dropped to the Corser that would give me 400 (450 if I dropped the spear as well) I am not near my computer at the moment. If that plus the cost of soft leather could upgrade me to a proper armor and shield, I think I would be all for the joust. I could probably be more modest on my garb as well and free up another 100ss there if needes
Mail is 800 ss. Shield is 30 ss. Not sure how much you'll be able to free up.
Hmm...I need 630ss to manage entering into the world of jousting. I just can't come up with that with my starting gold. I'm gonna stick with my original posting of gear. I'll be an exotic stylized fighter in the grand melee with my net and spear. I'll earn up the right to joust, it'll make for good flavor RP wise anywho.
This is Gendo. Sorry for the delay with Matthias. Other than figuring out wealth and equipment, here he is.
I may be delayed with posts for a couple of days. I am celebrating my 8 th wedding anniversary with my wife, heading to Niagara Falls over the weekend. I will do my best to peak in and post this weekend. Let me know if something seems askew.
Not a problem finish touching up characters, as needed we will move on once everyone is finished.
What character concept do you have in mind Eponine?
|
I am contemplating a Dornish bastard noblewoman on her way north, to the wall, unaware it is called the brotherhood of the night's watch for a reason. She learns somewhere in the Riverlands, and . . .
Mostly diplomacy skill focused with a splash of light weapons. Arya Stark crossed with Verys cast in a role as one of the Sandsnakes. . . I will flesh out the concept more on my way to the con and try to post something more soon!
Lots of posts while I lie sleeping as usual, welcome aboard Eponine, looks like we're just finishing up house creation, so you've missed out and that part, but we're glad to have you aboard nonetheless.
Throwing notes out, but at the moment, we're a Riverlands county without without any rivers or streams. That's probably not a problem, just pointing it out.
Anyone got any suggestions for gear I'm likely to need, as at the moment, I'm inclined to throw money into "clothes" and "Jewellery" and worry about the specifics later.
Cassondria, not too late to get your opinion on the domains!
We can still change some features before we are finalizing our House. We do have 2 Plains now and one of them is with road. Second plain with River then or what others think?
Well, normally I would suggest horse, but since your character is afraid of them...
You're a politically savvy character with minimal martial ability. Since words are your weapons, clothes and jewelry are all you need, I think. Save the rest for during gameplay.
Marcus, I'm good with the domains as they stand.
So, looking at our troops, do we want to switch the Cavalry out for Infantry? As a small minor House, having 2 Landed Knights and 2 other Knights (Marcus, Matthias) sworn to the House may be all it makes sense for our house to have as far as Knights go. It would give us 1 extra Power left over.
What does everyone think?
Hmm, it would be interesting to have someone not tied to the house (at least for now,bwahaha) in the game. That would throw a rather interesting kink in the mix.
Well, Marcus is so to say from Stormlands and ended up in Riverlands during his youth.
Or you mean during "recently" and not in "grown up / spent most of his years there"
Important questions:
1) Do we add all the Resources we gain from the Holdings after we start the game or we should include them already in the options?
---> I completely forgot this one and at the moment not sure (I blame not sleeping enough!)
2) Do we gain automatically Maester Holding from the CRB or we have to purchase it normally like everything else? (This is because we have PC who will be playing as Maester)
---> This will affect our starting House Fortune and all the plusses to that are nice to have
Sidenote->
1) I have included at the end of DOC House Holdings Fortune & Resource Tabelle.
2) I have also added 3rd Sheet to the DOC "House Fortune & House Action Rolls" so we can note and write them down there in order to keep track what happens each Month
Hmm, well I mean you serve the house so you would be tied to the house as such. True you may not be family or honor bound to the house so to speak but I assume you pledged loyalty to it so you are as a part of the house as any of the rest of us. Given what Eponine offered up, she would have no direct ties if any at all to the house so it would be intriguing how she would work in.
I believe we only have a plus 4 to the roll, unless you didn't add in a positive modifier I'm unaware of. Holding (Timber +1, Food Agriculture +1) | Resources (Population +3, Law -1) =4
Understood! And thanks for the notice. No idea how I missed that (damn elementary school mathematics!)
Also, is it easy to read like that or should I make some changes to the format?
I find it easy enough, but generally I don't complain when others do work for my benefit ^^.
In our house we have so far
4 Dedicated Fighters close range (Marcus, Garran, Lucen, Matthias)
2 apprentice (Darne,Eponine's character?)
1 Dedicated Long range (Garran)
2 apprentice (Cassondria, Matthias)
Then in the political side of things if stuff gets hairy.
3 Persuasive fighters (Cassondria, Darne,Eponine's character)
3 Information Gatherers (Lucen, Garran, Marcus)
1 Deceiver (Darne Plans on add 2b to bluff as fast as possible)
That sound about right now?
One good thing about being a spear fighter, it gives you a lotta versatility can work two handed, one handed, on horseback, and on ground.
