Alright so I'm gonna do my first actual roll, not gonna talk to guards or nothing.  So it takes 1 season to produce gunpowder, how much do the materials cost, and how is gunpowder used when it comes to guns and cannons?  Do you simply need gunpowder to make a gun, then never need gunpowder again? or do you need gunpowder and guns, and gunpowder is used up every battle? or every volley? or .1 every volley?  same with cannons?

Its still 1d/barrel to produce

And gunpowder is treated more as a good than a usable item. It would be required for the training of ballistic units. Upkeep is normally the factor to determine 'constant need' - same applies to say archers and their requirements for replacement bowstring and arrows.

About that training, it only extends to personal use? Or does it extend to personal Regiments for their own benefit?

Does upkeep matter on your first regiment?

Thats personal use. Regimental training doesnt really require any facilities either, but does make the regiment unusable during training.

Upkeep always matters, but isnt paid till the following spring (for simplicity's sake).
-You also require Manpower, and thus Land, to recruit anything other than naval units. Personal Guard have been increasing ruled as 'anyone' can recruit a regiment of troops without manpower (at 1/year) based on the concept of finding like-minded, or simply greedy, manpower to fuel it.

Alright, I have 2d, so no biggie.

Is the one week span enough to train both the regiment and the character?

[CyberGenesis]

what do you mean train? Train in what? I think im missing half the conversation here

[Tiruin]

Train as in do we have a certain list of things to pick from (like the skills in the rules) or anything else? As I saw the Swordsmanship skill in some of the character sheets and wondered what that implies.

And by 'study'

"Training at rank 1 doesnt require any special /place/. Its more of a study sort of training, you can do it anywhere and any time."

Are all new characters starting at rank 1 and we can just study by stating Study [skill]?

Swordsmanship gives a +1 to combat with swords or blades.
All characters start at rank 0 in a skill unless one of the three char creation ducats was spent on a skill. Reach means that you receive no bonus to a roll pertaining to that subject.

Uh...we really don't have a specific list...there's engineering, charisma, swordsmanship, probably blunt...probably heavy and light armors...or something...

Training takes a few seasons to complete...or it might take one, depending on luck.

[Tiruin]

I asked that as I'm guessing my skill in my character sheet must pertain to unarmed combat.

And now that I know the time span...

Thanks!

If I am not wrong, there is also the three magic skills and leadership.

[CyberGenesis]

Make what you want to train known each season and the rolls will be done.

I asked that as I'm guessing my skill in my character sheet must pertain to unarmed combat.

Basically if you can justify a skill and some idea of what you want to see it do/used for - i'll try to find a way to get it in the game

Recruitment,Upgrade and updated Trade orders:
Upgrade base PG regiment with Archer I,II, II and Heavy I (Heavy I and Archer I applied first, then Archer II and III) (Cost: 4d)
Recruit new PG regiment With Heavy I and Ambush. (Cost: 3d)

Set up the following trade route:
Polca to Aching: Buy pigs (Full Cargo)
Aching to Galam: Sell Pigs (Full Cargo)
Galam to Polca: Buy Glass (Full Cargo)
Polca to Veruna: Sell Glass (Full Cargo)
Veruna to Polca: No Trading.

Tari i dont think we ever handled this - the trade im working on, but the recruitment/training is my issue. Given all your traveling lately, your regiments would still be in Galam doing their training and would also take more time than i think you want them to. Lemme know whats up here or in a private on IRC and i'll get this handled

I don't think Gavin know William goes by the name Blackrose.

[Ardas]

I think its implied by Cain about whom are we talking about. I don't think its relevant either way.

Gavin may not, but Cain would.

CG, have you rolled for my resolution training? I guess that you could bundle it with the book search requsest. I will reply to Eurika/Sky once I have that training roll. No rush though.
