Is this game dead? If it is, can you put it inactive?
I only count 16 GB of income. provinces earn full value; law earn 1/3; temple earn 2/3; and guilds earn 2/3 You want a court, or you take negatives to diplomacy and other actions. Often assets have many seasons before payback. I didn't check your RP, but you need 2 ranks in the following skills to earn 100% of your RP collection: knowledge (religion), lead, diplomacy, warcraft, Appraise + Bluff + Craft (any) + Diplomacy + Gather information + Intimidate + Profession (any one) + Sense motive. cheers
Season 1 upkeep prior to domain actions DOMAIN COLLECTIONS
Treasury generated = 2/3 (total holdings = 26) = 18 GB
DOMAIN EXPENSES
Army & Navy
Court = 7 GB - 7 GB (Palace) = 0 GB Treasury 25 GB + 18 GB - 7 GB - 3 GB - 0 GB = 33 GB DOMAIN ACTIONS
Season 2 upkeep prior to domain actions DOMAIN COLLECTIONS
Treasury generated = 2/3 (total holdings = 26) = 18 GB
DOMAIN EXPENSES
Army & Navy
Court = 7 GB - 7 GB (Palace) = 0 GB Treasury 29 GB + 18 GB - 7 GB - 3 GB - 0 GB = 37 GB
I'll start to work through my turn hopefully tonight as an example. First thing we need to fix: Table 5-9 of Birthright.net uses ranks for the % of regency and probably other things. 1st level characters started with 4 ranks if it was a class skill in 3.5. In Pathfinder, the 3 point differential of the class skill is added bonus, so we need an official adjustment. The easiest fix would be to reduce the left column of Table 5-10 by 6, so it tops out at 4+ for 100%. However, Elton needs to rule and post the revised rules on the Campaign tab, so we don't forget. cheers
Season 1, Domain turn 3, Initiative 9 Moergan Neptuine issues orders to organize the faithful in the Erebannien. Representatives of the Eastern Temple of Nesirie, that is the state religion of Aerenwe, move to Banien's Deep.
I'm back. Post imminent.
I'm at a conference until next Friday with minimal internet access. Posts will be few and far between until then. cheers
Let's do all of the domain maintenance at the end of the season for Season 1. Then, we can do it again to start Season 2 if you want to lead with it in the future.
Alright nothing happens so far, but your colonizing effort happens without a hitch. Your ruling up your domain, correct? Me? Northvale is a different than Westmarch
Season 1, Domain turn 2, Initiative 9 Moergan Neptuine issues orders to organize the faithful in the Erebannien. Representatives of the Eastern Temple of Nesirie, that is the state religion of Aerenwe, move to Northvale.
Yes, please go faster.
Elton Is this game going at the pace that you expected?
Are you ruling up a domain? No. Creating a zero-level holding.
Season 1, Domain turn 1, Initiative 9 Moergan Neptuine issues orders to organize the faithful in the Erebannien. Representatives of the Eastern Temple of Nesirie, that is the state religion of Aerenwe, start with Westmarch.
GM Elton With all due respect, please master this game soon, or I have lost interest. thanks
yes When did you PM her/him and ask if she/he is still interested in playing?
This game is not meeting my expectations of coherency and pace. cheers
Elton
Still here, just giving anyone else a chance to say/do something while I'm talking on the terrace.You could answer Moergan's question ;p OK. Lilibet, please answer the question, so we can start the game. cheers

Moergan sincerely listens and replies, "No, I don't have pawns on paths, nor do I have any disagreements on tax money. My concern is of the organization of the faith of our people." After a comfortable pause, "However, people do die when their priests disagree. Many battles were fought in the schism of the Impregnable Heart of Haelyn from the Orthodox Imperial Temple. Followers of Rournil violently carved Medoere from old Diemed and the Orthodox Imperial Temple. So I don't think princes and barons have the monopoly on war." After a breath, "Your lordship, if I may, you sound bitter and trapped in the machinations of the great powers. I would have thought the Straits provided an excellent shield or at least cover from them. 'Out of sight; out of mind,' so to speak. What do you dream of doing that you see too many obstacles in your way?"
"Warned, your lordship? Dangerous? Surely, you exaggerate to make a point." Moergan shows genuine surprise. "What long game do you not have the luxury to play, your lordship?"
Moergan raises his glass to toast his host with a smile. When the count heads toward the music, Moegan heads to another entrance for the terrace and finds a private location to be seen, not overheard, and ostensibly to enjoy the breeze and beautiful view of Ilien.
On the dance floor, Moergan separates from the baroness with slight nod. He slowly circuits the room subtly looking for a servant with the vintage that he prefers.
"Of course. A glass of wine on the terrace in a few minutes, or something more prolonged later?" Moergan continues leading the dance as the man, but it's clear to both of them that the baroness has enough grace for both of them. "That would be a treat, Your Ladyship. I'll find a drink and meet you there." He purposely stays vague with a mischievous grin. The music starts the finale to give the baroness the last words.
The high priest is an average, untrained dancer and under no illusions that is any better. But the ball is as much about dancing as drinking, it happens but is not the main course. "Of course, Your Ladyship. I will do my best." As they turn on the dance floor, he nods and whispers, "That's the new Baron Roesone. He seems very militant. His politics have yet been announced." Then, he nods and whispers, "He's the Count of Ilien, our host. He is a wizard. I don't know if he enjoys politics." Then, he nods and whispers, "And he is the Count of Endier, a powerful guilder here on the mainland. He definitely enjoys politics, but I don't know what his current game is." He continues to whisper, "Those are the major players in the room. I thought more were invited. We shall see. When we have more time, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss our mutual interests."
Despite his humble origins, Moergan Neptuine dresses like a prince of his church. He wears a jewel-encrusted gold pectoral holy symbol of Nesirie over classic, elegant clothes covering fine breastplate. His shoulder-length brown hair, which would look comfortable beneath a ship captain’s hat, and his neatly groomed beard are streaked with premature silver. His eyes are steel gray with a twinkle of mischief. He casually approaches the Baroness of Mieres and asks, "Lady baroness, it's not often we are at the same place and the same time. We could have many mutual interests. May I have the pleasure of a dance?"
Ah.... in that case, apologies for the interruption. El Hadid is/was regent of the Port of Call Exchange Not yet... Ask, and ye may receive
Elton I would suggest reposting your domain rules post in the campaign info tab with liberal use (lots of) spoilers to minimize the wall of text. You mentioned earlier that we'll use the original GB collection rules. If we want to start domain turns, we need to post the basic rules (GB collection). I would be happy to post whatever you want here, such that you can cut-and-paste into the campaign tab. cheers
Moergan how do you hide your stats like that Spoiler in the class line
ETN is here
I missed the Discussion thread until now. cheers
Q1: No rolling necessay. Pick your starting age. Q2: You rolled your starting gold above (2,600 gp). That is your current personal funds. Elton hasn't set any limits for magic. The amount effectively sets those limits. Birthright is generally a low magic setting. Q3: I don't know if Elton will have an opinion about inquisitions. He's converted a bunch and stopped at traits. Here are Nesirie's domains and the specific subdomains for the Eastern Temple of Nesirie. I changed the favored weapon from net to trident, because trident is one of her two symbols. Let me know if you have any additional questions. cheers
OK Ketomir I'm back looking at your questions. My PC is the high priest of ETN the state religion of Aerenwe. I wrote the character creation guide post. Feel free to summarize your current list of questions for me to answer. cheers
@Ocean If you need any support to accelerate your character build, please let me know. See my character creation guide on page 1. cheers
Published Aerenwe starts with provinces and law holdings, so a martial character would be best to maximize regency point collection. Follow the link to review. My PM to Squee to confirm his interest in Aerenwe has been unanswered for 48+ hours. Wait for Elton to give you a green light to start building a character. To prepare, the character generation rules and guide are on page 1 of this thread. cheers
READY PLAYER CHARACTER
APPROVED PLAYER CHARACTER - Need complete avatar profile
UNAPPROVED PLAYER CHARACTER - Need approval and avatar
MAYBE LOST INTEREST
For the unapproved characters, is it clear what you need to do? Do you need support? I've PMed Squee to offer help or confirm his departure. @everyone
Yes, I want to start playing as soon as possible. ;D cheers cheers
Yeah I had imagined him as neutral but willing to do evil. He doesnt seek opportunities to do evil, but he isnt opposed. pragmatic. If you want to avoid evil, then you could rewrite your background. Maybe your character led a coup against the previous evil Guilder Kalien, in order to balance the evilness of Endier with more goodness: Neutral. The obvious, overt evilness was bad for business. Or go neutral evil, like the published leader of Endier. cheers
So would anyone have an objection to coming to the ball? Would kind of ley us rp a little and stuff Not at all. It's a usual starting place (diplomatic event) that gives the GM a place where all PC's can be in the same place and the same time. The adventure in the back of Ruins of Empire is very similar. cheers
I assume that, as Moergan has a cathedral in Mieres, Lilibet has probably met him. (He may even have performed the investiture ceremony when she declared herself Baroness.) I rather doubt that she's met any of the other PC's unless they're in the habit of taking long sea voyages. Chapel of Rain (cathedral) in Serien, Mieres I made sure to select Investiture as a Realm spell for just such an occasion. Ordinarily, it might be difficult to sail, but Moergan can teleport across the sea daily facilitating more frequent visits to Meires. I'm thinking Moergan spends 20% of his time there looking for places to expand. Feel free to develop some ideas on their relationship and PM me. cheers
The early part of his background did not scream Lawful Good. And poisoning someone to death on purpose is premeditated murder. Just saying.
Sounds fine to me. Feel free to develop more details and PM me. cheers
Tenro I don't know how Elton rules, but in my games using poison (especially to kill) makes the character evil. Jaris's alignment is Lawful Neutral. His background states that he poisoned the heir to death. IMHO, those two things (alignment and poisoning) are mutually exclusive. As for languages, Endier is in the south of Anuire. By sea, clockwise is Rjuvic, and counter-clockwise is Khinasi. Overland, way north-east is Brecht, but they are big traders. Endier neighbors a BBEG goblin province, so speaking goblin might be worthwhile. cheers
The center of Eastern Temple of Nesirie is in Calrie, Aerenwe with a temple of 6, specifically the Ursaline Chapel which is technically a cathedral. ETN has two other cathedrals in Ilien and Mieres. Moergen travels around. He would probably be in Ilien 20% of the time. Your daughter has some rank in ETN, but she is not an official lieutenant of Moergan's, yet. That needs a cohort or a Lieutenant domain action. Moergan has been high priest for three years, so they could be friends, acquaintances, or know of one another depending on Rogr's background. I got lucky with many of my character creation rolls. That has not been the case in other games. I'm just looking forward to play. cheers
Try again with the first link. I was having problems with it. It took me several minutes to edit it correctly. The link works for me now. Province rulers have a significant advantage over non-province rulers. When we start playing domain actions, I think we will find 'power' will be defined by the domains and not the characters. cheers
Wow Moergan, was your character constructed using different rules than the rest of us, or have you played him since level 1? He's super powerful, not to mention wealthy... I guess Rogr could be your sidekick! I rolled like you. Here are my original rolls. Elton let me have a major bloodline for abandoning the Sielwode, in order to play a non-province domain nearer to the rest of the party. Here is my major bloodline roll for abilities. cheers
@Gaius
@Squee & Elton
