Hello, potential player.

This is a game of court intrigue (as you may have seen in the title) set in a fictional world based on real life medieval Europe. You are given the role of courtiers or maybe even feudal lords. You have no set goal. You are going to start your dynasty, marry have children, and the interesting quirk of the game is that new players can either plop down their own people, or join in as one of your children. There will be next to no usage of dice, in the extremely rare situation where I have to use it, it will be d6.

This is a fairly serious game. Act accordingly.

Spoiler: Char Sheet. (click to show/hide)

Just write down whoever you wanna be. Unfortunately, you can only start as a man, due to how things ran in medieval Europe.

Traits: (Only the dynasty starters may do these. Stuff like Wrathful, Lazy, Talkative, etc.)

Name of Dynasty: (If you are a dynasty starter, go and make your own one. If you join as someone's child, you get this from your ancestors, unless you wanna start a cadet branchm which is a big biggie.)

One more and we're good to go.

[StrawBarrel]

Maybe I'm being a little hasty, but I think it would be a good idea to start the game now. If people see the game in action, they might join later.

Kassire, Pig & BJ Wilkins: Some history, current situation and marching.

You are courtiers under Duke Guillem, a childless man in his early fifties. Most of his rule was marked by (reasonably) just law, high taxes and rebuilding the land after the disastrous raid by Bølværk Hødersonne, an adventurous raider who own a large island just north west of the Duke's demesne. During the said raid many churches and cities were burnt down, and only the folk who ran to the Caerborg were safe. Currently, you are in his personal bodyguard squad, marching north with the rest sixteen hundred men army to the barony of Hexin with the goal of conquering it. Guillem has long had a feud with Baron Monhaude, a minor lord with a token force. You are almost there, ready to stom the puny walls of Mont-Sauvier.

If you want more story about a certain person, event, location, religion or culture, just ask.

Kassire:
You are currently riding a  horse, one of the few that the army posseses, accompanying Guillem with poetry and small talk about current court gossip. You realize yet again how poorly educated is the man, and how little knowledge of the outside world he has. Unfortunately, he found a liking to a certain Plavic song, "Masoor z Pragee", a tale of a warrior overcoming a cruel and mad king.
You have no idea a grown man could listen to the thing once, let alone pester somebody to sing it sixteen times in one day.

Elias Pig:
You are riding tight behind the Duke, following him for what feels like an eternity, when he suddenly turns around.
"Elias, could you and Bill scout ahead and have a look out for any people? This place seems awfully quiet...."
Well, at least now you got something to do other than feeling the awful stench of twenty horses and fifty men.
You rush forward on your horse and start looking around.

BJ Wilkins:
Man, did this trip make you thirsty. You are wearing a mail shirt under a heavy cuirass and oh boy, if you have toride for a fay longer, you will kill somebody.
Suddenly, some guy tells you to go to Duke Guillem. After a few brief minutes of picking up speed and getting around other cavalrymen, you get to see His Highness. He is talking to Elias Pig, but you realize you should listen too.
"Elias, could you and Bill scout ahead and have a look out for any people? This place seems awfully quiet...."
You quietly sigh, and start riding forward with  your new friend.

Post to watch.

Kinda want to join in when people start making kids.

[Kassire]

"Would you rather a different song? Or perhaps I could create a small tune, or poetry of your strength, capability, justness, and law to divine rule."

What is the local religion? The culture of the region? And perhaps more about Duke Guillem?

[ZalkozDestbro]

(( Still up for more people? I got a sheet ready to post if you'll have me. Being the gracious host that you are.))

Edit: ((Maybe I'll just put this here))

"Aye, my Lord," Elias replied "I'll look ahead."
Elias' steed sped up and took them away from the head of the army. Soon Elias began to scan the landscape for signs of human life.

Genetics:
If you have babies, I will do some scary science and raging rolling to determine what sort of beautiful genetic defects, traits and other cool things could be transferred to the child. You start out with a blank genetic card, but with time, head of dynasties will have the possibility to eugenically selectively breed his kinsmen into being the tall, muscular, strong and genius group of men or not.

I prefer not, it makes the genetic game much funnier.
