Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

[Aseaheru]

 A, methinks. Afterall, gotta plan for when our kids are boss.

[Haspen]

You ask them to go and fashion the Sky Iron into a necklace. They bow their heads, and then scribble down the contract in two copies, one for them and one for you, The leader backsteps to his group with their copy of the document and bows his head.

"Now we shall go under the earth of your castle and there we shall work for hundred days and nights and then we will emerge with the artifact you have hired us to make." You tell the guards to take the dwarves to one of the deeper dungeon cells.

1076 AD, End of the Year

While you're reciting poetry to your dearest wife, the Advisor stumbles in at the worst moment and brings those Scrolls of Kingdom Status of his, and one other large scroll.

Happiness: 5
Population: 3
Economy: 3
Army: 4

"As you can see, my liege, our peoples are few and our coffers are mostly empty. Mayhaps we should raise the tax for next year, to provide enough coin for our various expenses?"

A) "Aye!"
B) "Nay!"

He unrolls the other scroll and sprawls it on your table.

"The scribes have consulted with caravaneers and librarians of the Cloister of Tech, thus being able to create a map of the local kingdoms and domains."

[Haspen]

Forgot to put in the map, I hope you guys like balkanization effect as much as I do '<.

[Prophet]

A Also whoo! I love it when ever we get a new map. They're always wonderful to look at. 

[omada]

Holy fuck.

Oh, maybe we can together with Ceodwell and lametania secure a trade route  between Gutba with the... what? EMPIRE?

and...hehehehe, Domain of Donuth hehehehehe

A Raise the taxes, we can put this money to good use.

Also, the "kingdom boon" it's just in the first roll to determine the first numbers or it helps the kingdom in general later as if it were part of the culture?

[Haspen]

Naw the 6 is special roll bonus which gave you silver mines, kingdom boon just gets +2 to chosen stat.

Neither Luathbas nor Tven rolled a 6 on special so they haven't had any specials, duh.

[Haspen]

You decide to raise the tax for the next year.

1077 AD, Spring

A message arrives from Lametania.

Their king claims ownership of the Southern Territories, or rather the Methiant part of it, citing various old sources plus the fact that before your predecessor's savage and expansionist rule, the land was full of Lametanians.

King Salus IV thus demands the return of the land to his people, either by agreement or per show of force. You reply that...

A) He can kiss your arse and take it only after he bests your soldiers!
B) You can agree to give away the lands only for properly big monetary payment.
C) You can agree to give away the lands, but he needs to make a really good offer for it, and you're not talking money here.

[Draignean]

Give him the Zaporozhian treatment.

C We are small but we are diplomatic. We can raise the value

We always have time for A. later

[NRDL]

C see what we can bleed from him in exchange for this territory.

[Harry Baldman]

C

I'm curious about what he is referring to.

[Detoxicated]

We should go Rome. Diplomatically ally with northern and eastern kingdom to divide lamentia

[Prophet]

C As cool as it would be to go the Zaporozhian route of dealing with this we did pick a charismatic ruler. Hmm. If he won't offer us a deal or tries to give us a bad deal then we send him the vulgarly rude letter.
