Hi,
Due to the great amount of discussion/controversy arising from such unimportant issues as bloodline score, bloodline abilities, what the DDC for hiring a scholar is, what one of your henchmen can/cannot do und so weiter, I feel compelled to institute some changes.
All AAs are removed effective immediately. You can still make up names and such for your courtiers, but they will no longer have any in-game effect.
The same goes for regents; keep their names and such, but all stats beyond simple character class and level are removed from play. That should make things much easier.
We'll also drop interactive adventures and such; DM Jon has found a nice table that we'll use instead. He can post you the link. Once again much easier.
You will also be limited in the amount of IC communication you can do each turn. Dispatches are still free, but each dispatch recipient will count against a limit set by your court expenditure. We'll also limit the number of times a single dispatch can go back and forth. We're think three entries by each party is sufficient.
This should GREATLY speed things up and make the DM's life much easier. We feel that the game has derailed from the strategic focus that it should have, and degraded into an IC slugfest (Rune has invented a Norwegian word for it; but its too rude to put into print).
More later, but any questions relating to this matter is to be directed to DM Jon; I simply cannot wast more time on it.
