1. Please copy in Matt if you send them to me.
2. Where I respond, please note that I am generally doing so without Matt's input, so things may still change.
3. If you have ideas for treaties, tributes, etc please put them in even though they aren't agreed with the other side.

If we submitted a DD, should we wait for Matt's comments for adding new stuff?

I'm not sure if he's planning to amend them himself, or simply tell you the changes he wants - unless he countermands, I'd say send in your updates, but don't go OTT with multiple revisions as he's got a lot on.
-
Ok...In that case, I will stop sending stuff, let him get through the backlog and then perhaps try to negotiate for other changes. :)
-
Firstly apologies to those who I, inevitably, miss out.
I've not seen draft DD's for everyone, DD's that I've seen are:
Alan The Dragon (?) / Ohlaak the Dragon / The Rising Fire
Bob (RP) Lord Commander Otmar Messer / Thurazor Regained
Bobby H Countess ( / Sorceress) Clumine Dhoesone / Silver House of the North
Brandon King Fulgar the Bold / Rjuvik
Linde Thane Thuriene Donalls / Talinie
Milos Guildsmaster Bannier Andien / Andien and Sons
Niels Earl ( / Mage ) Torele Anviras / The Stone Circle
Viktor Master James Ardannt / Haelyn's Bastion of Truth
Apologies if I missed anyone out, please send me any o/s DD's so I can take a look at them over the weekend and start pulling threads together, comparing looey's, assets, agenda's, etc.
Thanks all.
-
is it possible to update James' title to Master? Marshal is a sub-title in the Bastion.
Viktor Marshal Master James Ardannt / Haelyn's Bastion of Truth

OK, I will try to stop adding details, but it won't be easy - I get bored, and one thing leads to another and before you know know it - its DD v3.2. ;)

Please keep them coming, any expansions, suggestions (for yourself, others, villains, etc) welcome.
-
That, Andy, is what I am pretty sure falls into the category of "Seemed like a good idea at the time." ;)
-
Actually I am sort of at a dead end, I want to detail the individual captains of the FFC, but need to know what the troop types and numbers are before i go too far on that.
Villains I might think about some, but they would by necessity be pretty generic cut outs

Fair point, but we can just ignore stuff that doesn't fit "the plan" or re-skin/point at another target etc.

Units: I think that Matt may have some plans but I suspect that those relate to Taren, the Valiant and Ksog only (if not I'll do something) so your direct units are probably good to go.
-
You probably haven't seen mine either. And that's because I've put it aside for a while to do other nonessential things. But I will throw myself into finishing it this week.
In any case, if you're in dire need of information, just take a look at Rune's. It probably has more information about how to Cariele and how to exploit it, than I could hope to write down in a lifetime.
EDIT:
I'll send you the rough draft I have so far, so you have something to work with. The things already written wont be changed, it's just lacking a some provinsional descriptions and the likes.
-
Sending mine in now. It's not complete, so I am labeling it draft v1, but it's fairly robust (28 pages). Probably another ~3-4 pages to be "complete", but this way you have what I have put together up till now.

I am just going ahead with sorting out all the various units, etc. for everybody. I'll send you a list of what I am assuming so far.

I'd love to, but you'll notice that he isn't on the list. The elephant must have eaten his homework.
-
Hey Andy,
Are we allowed to work of pre-game diplomatic arrangement with realms that weren't in the P&H?
-
As far as I am aware Matt's plan is for some treaties to be agreed pre-game in at least skeletal form, so I don't see any harm in exploratory talks now.
Andy

Hi all.
Matt's going to be RL'd for a month or so, but he's ok'd me to proceed with the set-up in the interim. I understand if you'd rather wait to see if we get rolling properly but where possible I'd like to give it a go with the following:
1. Get the draft domain descriptions done, so far I have (apologies for any I've missed):
Alan The Dragon (?) / Ohlaak the Dragon / The Rising Fire
Bob (RP) Lord Commander Otmar Messer / Thurazor Regained
Bobby H Countess ( / Sorceress) Clumine Dhoesone / Silver House of the North
Alex (Lurk) King Fulgar the Bold / Rjuvik
Linde Thane Thuriene Donalls / Talinie
Milos Guildsmaster Bannier Andien / Andien and Sons
Niels Earl ( / Mage ) Torele Anviras / The Stone Circle
Viktor Master James Ardannt / Haelyn's Bastion of Truth
2. Agree draft domain aims - I'll send out some suggestions at the weekend, be warned that not all may be readily solvable in the expected lifetime of the game, and in practice they will be whittled down to a manageable number, replaced with idea's you or Matt have that are cooler, etc - these are just suggestions that I've seen in draft DD's, or come up with on my own.
3. Agree draft characters, main lieutenants, key domain assets - likely a fleshing out of the draft DD.
4. Agree draft outline treaties - nothing to complex please - just a framework that can be filled out when the game gets going properly.
-
I sent my DD for Stjordvik in again (once in July and again a couple days ago). Have you guys received it?
-
Yes, I have one for 29 July, didn't I respond?

Hmm, having thought about it I was waiting for Matt's input before sending any back, so actually they are all outstanding.
I'll try to get them out over the course of the coming week.
-
I'll try to do Cariele and Talinie over the week, and the I'll do mages next week-end - they need more thought.
-
If anyone is waiting for me to get back to them regarding their draft domain description - or is staring aghast at the way I've desecrated their beloved DD / given them ridiculously easy aims please let me know, along with any (printable) comments.
If anyone is in contact with the missing players, please nudge them to say if they are in/out:
Dhoesone Marco Player granted extension

Replied yesterday to Andy's mail ;)

I nudged JP over the weekend and he responded back. I will keep nudging him about once a week or so until he sends in a DD or tells me to buzz off! :)

Marco's been somewhat unresponsive all along. I'll try emailing him, though.

Look up ;D

I'm writing my DD now, sorry I'm late 8)

No worries, glad to hear from you. Getting the band back together

I was afraid the ship had left port without me. But I we are a band then I'll have to come up with something else

Still in port, just with a few crew changes and outstanding deliveries.

There is even room for a last-minute passenger.
Hi guys, I'll be taking on Three Trees Traders or maybe Svinik (if we're unlucky and Quentin lapses).
-
JP has swapped from OE to Svinik, so we are lacking in spiritual guidance along the Rjurik side of the Taelshore , but have a full rack of rulers.
-
Well that bodes ill for the ethical side of things. ;)
I guess we'll just have to convert them all to the true church...
-
Who needs spiritual guidance?
Scanning forbindingly the crowd in Viborg, where no one raises his hand.
So that's that!
-
Some of us are... blessed, yes, that's the term, some of us are "blessed" with an over abundance of spiritual guidance, though how much is needed I don't know, what more does one need other than get your opponent on disadvantageous ground, close with him - and kill every last one of them.
I find this basic principle applies to most things in this world.

Initial discussions with Matt re: troops and structures: 11 Nov.
-
If the players who have not sent back DD's (JP, Mark, Even, Geir and Alex) could give me an idea when they'll be sending them I'd be grateful.
-
Oaken Grove vacant
If you want to send me the section on holdings etc for the OE I can do the write up of holding descriptions, minor points of interest, etc for the OE so that the incoming player (or GM) has less to do.
-
I've been thinking about doing some of it myself - I've got draft aims for everyone already for example. I think that Matt wants people to write their draft DD's though to make it more of a co-created world and give a feeling of ownership in the output though so I've been relucatant to do so.
I think that once Matt surfaces from catching up on all the stuff I've emailed him he's going to have to make a call on the outstandings (has anyone heard from Mark?) and probably advertise for players - the timing will probably impact whether we ask for help with writing the currently empty domains - but thanks for the offer.
-
John's withdrawn from Svinik, he'll see if he can send me what he started on OE, depending on the shape its and discussions with Matt on the other empty domains we'll either do them in-house , farm them out, or skeletonise them and wait for a player/npc them.
