IC ThreadFear No Gods | A Low Fantasy Succession Game
Hello everyone ! As I was roaming in the alternatehistory games subforum, I discovered the awesome concept of succession games, which I think might very well interest you.
To be clear, this thread is for rules, claiming and general discussion around the game.
IC thread is for Game Master and players' posts, plus for votes if needed.
The principlesYou most probably know the bloodline games in Dwarf Fortress. This is a bit like this. The GM will give context, and issues, and players,
one each turn, will describe the ruler, his personality and his goals to solve these issues. You will understand what I mean in the character sheet. For each rule, I will roll dices (mostly D100) to know how successful a reign is, how long it last, how many children and so on. The game end if you lost all control over your lands (becoming a tributary, being on losing side of civil war / rebellion, or end of dynasty are not game ending, being conquered and absorbed is).
To have a chance to give a ruler in the game, the players need to claim a place in the queue. Thus, when your turn is on, I'll give you a few days to post your own ruler sheet. I will give probably
give a week two weeks to respond, so the game is not stuck by an inactive player.
For those who are waiting, I will sometimes give polls for events.
ClaimsPlayers can claim whenever they want by a post
in the OOC. The order for the first 5 or 10 (depending of how many claims in the first days) will be randomized, next will be first come, first serve. Once the claim list is done, we get back to the beginning.
VotesSometimes, votes will happen at the end of a post to create an event for the game.
Everyone can vote, players and non-players. You can vote in IC thread.
The characterYou are quite free to tailor your ruler, aside from some restrictions that I will specify at the end of a post. More generally speaking, please stay consistent with what happened with previous rulers. Also try to not make perfect characters and rulers, those are not the best material to create good stories.
RP pointsIf you want to create some roleplay texts and articles, to flesh the lore and the world of the game, you can post them in the IC thread. The lore created need to be about the past or present, and in coherence with other lore and events in the game. Though you don't need to be a player to post lore texts, you need to be a player in the queue if you want to get RP points from it. One point is granted per RP text, with one RP point giving you a +5 to a roll of your choice (for a goal, longevity, effectivness...). You can only stack up to 5 RP points, and use up to 5 RP points for your character.
The character sheetAvatar : (Optional. A picture found on Internet, with coherence towards the era of the character)

Age when becoming leader :

Leadership Style :
Leader Personality :
Biography : (Explain your character's background, occupations, rise to power and beliefs)
Goals : (What your character wants to achieve during his time as ruler. Better deal with the most pressing issues. Can also be more personal and minor goals. Please try to restrain between 3 and 6 goals per character)
