[Roboson]

Swift to act, the Duchy of Oboson, lords and ladies of the hills, the veadar of the vale, and masters of all things mountainous, began this year with action befitting of their eccentric family lineage.

Count Ryan of Oboson was sent forth post haste towards the kobold encampment! The Oboson's have a long a colorful family history, and fraternization with the "lesser races" has long be a family tradition. Monsters, magic, and mysterious beings unlike ourselves have interested the mountain lords for generations, and this would be exception to that rule. Ryan, the most benevolent of the knighted Obosons would venture forth to the Kobold camp to broker peace with the kobolds and attempt to incorporate them into the dominion of the Oboson line through peaceful diplomacy and cooperation. Ace of Hearts.

Duke Robert of Oboson would shortly begin managing the quarries directly in order to increase production of resources. The duchy of Oboson has long tilled the earth and mined the rocks of these lands, and under the watchful eye of the mountain duke, the workers would bring forth bountiful materials. 10-o-Clubs. This left him two months to organize and host a festival tournament of various military skills. 4-o-Spades (2/4 months)

This left Regina to be in charge of exploration. She had always been a wanderer and explorer at heart. Which is likely why she was so adept at breaking sieges. Not even an invading army could keep that countess indoors! For 7 months she was tasked with coming to understand the new area we found ourselves in 7-o-Diamonds. This of course left her plenty of free time to do with as she saw fit.

Weirdsound, you created all this system from scratch?

(I am beginning to understand the system, I think I will join a small character next year in game)

[Weirdsound]

@everybody: Its unlikely to happen this turn, but you will eventually have means to use or avoid discarding cards during the reaction phase, so lets not get in the habit of saying we discard our unused cards during the action phase.

Weirdsound, you created all this system from scratch?

Pretty much. Got about 11 single spaced pages worth of rules and a dozen or so spreadsheets on my drive. I was working overnight security a few weeks ago, was bored, had no internet, so I popped open a blank google doc and started writing rules.

Its loosely based on something Milamah did a few years back called When Gods Play, and even more loosely based on Haspen's stuff. (or D6 rtd stuff in general)

Thank you for the example. I am now writing my turn. However, I'm not sure which construction site is my camp, and which is my village. Also, what zones on the map are already explored?

You can pick. Nothing is explored yet.

So Nuke is dropping out of this. Anybody want his duchy?

[piratejoe]

His duchy still have the same names and stuff or can it be renamed and all that? If so, you are probably stuck with it for a while.

[Weirdsound]

Yeah. The replacement can change Duke, Count, Castle, and Location names if they wish. If nobody claims the opening soon, I'll just find a way to write the whole Duchy out and go on with four.

[Maximum Spin]

If I can still have my minor character, I'll take it.

[Weirdsound]

If I can still have my minor character, I'll take it.

Nah. Gotta pick one or the other.

[piratejoe]

Figured as much. If I didn't take Monica, I would have gladly taken the opportunity, but I kinda like what I am planning with my current countess.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

So Nuke is dropping out of this. Anybody want his duchy?

I am interested. Though the sentiment of rebellion and instability I would ask my rise to power be of overthrowing the old duchy.

If possible I declare myself Duchess Ivanka The Usurper and my flag fly with their colors. Soon to be changed within the coming years to fit my glorious rule.

Would that be acceptable?

Sure, just quote Nuke's Duchy spoiler, change the names as you see fit, and make your move. Talk to Roboson if you want to actually change your duchy color; He actually does the map.

Excuse me for this, but I'm not really going to be able to work on my post until tomorrow evening, but I'll be sure to post then. Still trying to get used to the rules of the game, and I'm currently busy, at the moment.

Alright. Thanks for letting us know. I was actually just about to PM you.
