Politics are fine for me.
Coming late into the game I am still learning who is who but I'll get the hang of it soon enough!
Refer to the Campaign Info tab. I do all the time! There's quite a bit of information there, that you may find useful...

Ah yes, sometimes I forget that they're there despite my own prodigious use of them as a DM! :-)
The particular information you are looking for is in the Belcoo spoiler. I'll make sure to create a Boho spoiler when I write a synopsis for the chapter...
Prodigious indeed! You seem to GM a ridiculous number of campaigns!
Oh I was just making a joke at Thorun's expense. My favorite kind of fantasy stories are the ones that have intricate politics in them.
Note that I added a spoiler about the titles of Bards in the Campaign info tab.
Very fun chapter! Gear job on moulding the story – it makes GMing so much more interesting!
As usual, this is when I ask: everybody still in? Want more of this or that? Also, more importantly: continue with 4 players, or find a 5th given that Padraic will be staying behind to help Fintan and deal with his wonderful wife?
Duh! I told you, you'll have to kick me out.
As for adding another... Anyone have someone in mind?
I am just getting started why would I want to leave now?!
So many good players here on the boards I'll pas on specific suggestions. I say get a 5th!
I'll write a discreet post on the recruitment thread, and see who is paying attention. There are a few players who expressed an interest in the last few rounds of recruitment, who didn't get in... If you have players in mind, invite them to post, and PM me with your recommendation, which obviously will help the application :)
I am online for a few hours now, then off for the weekend. Back on Monday!
During the time you're gone do you want us to answer questions if we can?
Absolutely! Not sure what I am looking for insofar as specific character, but you can certainly guide applicants with regards to tone and character creation. And while I don't expect everyone to study the Campaign tab in depth, a quick read will help applicants understand where we are and how it all started...
Thanks!
Oh, do you want them to have a connection to an NPC or PC this time or no?
Probably best, but depending on character I'll see how they tie in... You're all on your way to find the King of Fermanagh who probably rides with the Kings of Airghialla and Breifne, so it's entirely possible that you will meet kinsmen in the army that is marching the circuit...
Urm... I don't see a King of Fermanagh in the Campaign info tab...
He's the Belcoo spoiler. I'll create a Boho spoiler, refresh the Tuaim spoiler, and add some details to the Breifne and Aighialla spoilers soon-ish...
I posted a synopsis to Chapter 4. Have a look, and don't hesitate if you want me to add or correct certain details!
Hi all. Don't worry! Just waiting on Kassidy who was sick in RL, I believe. And on our 5th player who should be ready at the beginning of next week!
I'll update tonight, not 100% but hell of a lot better than I was...
Sorry for the further delay folks, had a coughing fit that took me out last night ;-(
Suggested marching order:
Thorun
Kassidy
Ó Máille
Aoife
Thorun is happy to lead!
Aoife is use to being in the back.
Just to say hi! Profile is done on paper, but sick kids (nothing serious) has stopped me getting the profile and background all added to the alias. I am hoping to get a background synopsis up tonight (and finish the crunch bits) and fill out the background fully on Wednesday/Thursday (pending Amergin's approval obviously!)
Welcome to medieval Ireland! We'll get you in the mix when you're ready!
Urm, I forget, where on the map are we?
To be clear: Aoife wouldn't know, and neither would any of the other characters (unless they have Knowledge, Geography). Thorun now has a map of Ireland, which he can show you if he so wishes. And on the map, you can see Largay, the kingdoms, some topographical details, etc.
Bear in mind that this is an extraordinary treasure as maps and books remain extremely rare.
In any case, if you – as players, ooc – are curious: Tuaim is in fact situated across from Boho. Look for the village of Blacklion in Ireland.
Ah sorry. Yes Thorun will be open about his new map, and anybody can use it as needed.
Will get you all on the road soon! Been busy a lot, and preparing the next steps of the adventure a bit...

Keeping you up to date: I won't get a chance to get everything ready and to post properly until next Monday. Apologies!
No worries, I've been busy with my classes and such anyhow.
Sorry guys, life kinda threw me a curve ball! I shall get on and reply when I get home tonight!
Hope everything is ok?!
Mom's back surgery was, well we found out she's been bleeding into her spine. It seems to have stopped for now, but it was causing her pain so... Yeah.
That's tough. My dad went into heart surgery two years ago, and suffered minor brain damage during the operation, leading to mild memory loss and some difficulty focusing... Hope she recovers well.
Medieval Ireland will always be here for you!
She's done very well since we found out and have been helping her. She's well enough now to move around on her own which is why now I'm back! But I'm at work right now and have so much to catch up on I don't fully trust my phone.
And as I told you, you'll have to kick me out of this first! XD
Sorry I have gone a bit silent, background is almost finished, will finish it in the morning. Looking forward to getting stuck in.
The others will be arriving in Armagh in a few RL days...
I'm not totally sure if the Saxons surivied into 1166 but I know they where still around in 1066 so it might still be a thing.
Ah, gotcha. I've got a range of thirty feet, so do you think I can hide somewhere that might be closer to the action? Has he approached from a similar direction so I'd know where(ish) to hide?
Your party will attempt to predict his next position. It'll amount to a luck roll modified by good ideas and common sense, perhaps a Survival roll, and...?
Indeed, the luck roll will be in your favour, given that he has already attacked twice from more or less the same direction...
Cool, perhaps we should spread out a bit so we have a greater chance of one of us being close enough to engage our attacker.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know I've been down with the flu these past few days. I feel like I'm on the tail of it so I'm going to try and get to a few rps tonight before I head to bed early since I have to go back to work tomorrow. If I don't get to our game tonight I will do so tomorrow if work doesn't exhaust me.
No worries! On my end, I've been swamped and fighting a cold, so I get it...
Also, note to all: I'll be away all weekend!
Hi all! Unfortunately, it'll be another couple of days before I can get the ball rolling again, as I am working ridiculous hours these days and I feel that the next few posts will require some care...
Apologies!
Couldn't wait!
Haha, Amergin, feel free to give me some penalties on that diplomacy roll since I got a little power-gamey there. I'm just too curious!
Does anyone else hate being an adult some times?
Against all odds, despite being a dad and playing by all the rules, I try not to be an adult as much as possible!
But, yes: sometimes being an adult is a pain!
All full of responsibilities and s~!$... *sighs* oh well, "all part of growing up".
