So it seems in a close fought competition it seems it was the Tael Firth that won out. We are not entering Phase 2.
Phase 2 - Outline setting - continue RG work - Outline potential domains.
So I will begin to work on broad brushstrokes of Setting itself and while doing so also work up the likely player available domains. My aim is to juggle the numbers for the next 48 hours and present a draft to the DM team for review.
The current hope is to drive for publication and probable opening of applications by the next weekend. I am well aware this is a tight time scale for the amount of heavy lifting that is needed but if we don't maintain momentum we'll lose it.
There is also some thought to be done on DO submission and what gets presented to players each turn - I have some radical thoughts on that so we will have to see how that pans out. :)

I am not sure where you want this type of info but if you need some help with excel let me know. I am by no means an expert but I do work with on a daily basis. I am willing to help where possible.

On a sliding scale of 'Vanilla' <-> 'Green Knight's raving madness' would you put your intentions for the game w.r.t. holdings (manors?), domains (micro vassals) and classes (nobles)?
-
Manors and Trade holdings I think we would intend to keep; I feel they balance some of the numbers that otherwise get a bit too reductionist in tone.
Micro Vassals - they will exist, though we may flatten some of them out. I would not recommend them for players :)
Classes? Dear gods not got there yet. I will probably include the noble class in the list, yes. But frankly it is not top of my list for defining characters. It is on the list, but not near the top yet.

What!?!?! I'd already started making custom prestige classes! ;)

I have not no. I have instead been building project plans and reading through everything I can to assess various strengths and build strategies for the launch domains :P
