Spoiler: GM note (click to show/hide)

In case you have noticed, I had put up this game a few days ago, as a prototype. It looks like that development will be longer than I expected, mainly because of the lack of any testing on almost every single mechanic.
Instead, I'm taking another approach on development. Instead of making mental calculations and lots of different things on paper, I'm trying to run a suggestion game using the tentative set of rules, so I can have a better grasp of how my mechanics works while also having fun.
As said, the main purpose for this game, as of now, is to test and polish a set of rules. I make no guarantee of how often I update, how long this will run, and I reserve the right to alter every single rule without prior notice, though you should expect at least something once a week. Otherwise you should just treat this game as dead.

You are now proclaimed king as you united three tribes in your area. Before you start to govern your realm as king, please fill up this sheet:

I genuinely hope that I need not use this.

High fantasy, low fantasy, or historical fiction?

High fantasy, low fantasy, or historical fiction?

I tend to prefer my background as "largely mundane".
i.e. I'm okay with non-exotic fantasy races, but I don't really like magicians raining fireballs on a daily basis.

[GreatWyrmGold]

~Low Fantasy, then.

Alright, let me get some time to ruminate...

[GreatWyrmGold]

My name is Garrick Royson, of the Kimkoa Tribe. I recently united them with the Gorezpat Tribe and the Urdinaka Tribe. The Kimkoa are famed for their alchemal* and medical knowledge, surpassing that of all others, as well as their homeland's rich soils; the Gorezpat are renowned for their warriors, who will never flee a battle nor yield while they have an ounce of strength; and the Urdinaka are well-known for their hunters and marksmanship, gained by intensive training of all Urdinaka boys as they become men.
When I was young, my main education was in matters of court, how to lie while telling the truth, how to bind the disparate, how do use words to turn enemies into friends. A major figure in my court is Alden Rorikson, the head of the local religion, which reveres Abiekia the Sun and Jakilargi the Moon.

*If there is actual magic in alchemy, okay; if not, just assume it's like real-world alchemy (ie, little but a precursor to chemistry).


Does this work? And does anyone have any other ideas?

[GiglameshDespair]

GWG: I think you get two famous things, rather than alchemy, medicine, rich soil, warriors, and hunter marksmen. Otherwise you've just got boosts to pretty much everything.

So this is one-character suggestion, rather than multiple players? Imperium Renovatoo gave me the impression there'd be multiple players. Maybe I was wrong. Hmm.

[GreatWyrmGold]

1. The tribe gets two things, the province one.
2. The stuff for the other tribes can just be flavor. I wanted to give at least a little substance to the two other tribes.

Because the main point of this game is to polish the system for the mp game (and possibly act as a kind of ad).

Its okay as long as it don't make too many distinct and special bonuses which I have to write rules for.

[evilcherry]

Kimkoa, then. Writing things up. It is now draining my energy; hope that the real game will be less hard because of this.

Map of the area.

[GiglameshDespair]

Looks good. Remember that your map can be used for mp, with a little modification. The important thing is for running something liek this is that it shouldn't feel like a chore.

Actually updates aren't a chore. Writing rules and all stuff out is tiring, and its 3am here.

Three questions.

1. What did you use to make that?
2. What do the symbols mean?
3. Why are you staying up until 3 or after?

1. Hexographer.
2. Nothing for the moment, just flavour. Maybe useful for military planning though.
3. Because I've been dancing on the keyboard for a few hours. Now I need good sleep.
