Suddenly: We're going to go ahead and get things started.
Why? To raise money for extra life, and also to play some Ruins of Empire & Burning Wheel.
How? People should create a character (ruler or non-ruler, blooded is an optional trait that every player can have if they so choose, at this time). The following app makes it easy, but it does have some errors. For the ease of play, I'll just accept those flaws: charred-black.herokuapp.com/
Limitations: Max 3 lifepaths (you can still make some pretty good characters), except that we'll allow a little bit of "pay to win" in the form of for every $50 you (or someone on your behalf) donates to one of the people in this team www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.team&teamID=51123 you can add another lifepath. I do not intend to do play to win within the game itself (i.e. no automatic holdings or anything like that), but if you do have concerns about donations messing with the game, please let me know and I can reconsider it.
Goal: Each realm (represented by a ruler and 3-4 other regents of their respective domains) should be made up of 2-5 players. Realms will be further defined based on how much interest we have by July 10th (and on a running basis after that). As mentioned above, you can choose to limit yourself to just a character, in which case you can still participate in adventures and won't have to deal with holdings.
Things people can do now: Mostly rule holdings and provinces, and of course go on adventures.
Things I need to do: Work on the "P&H" excel sheet, so that it's ready for people.
Things that we will deal with in the future:
War & Armies. (to avoid bogging things down, this will be abstracted in some form)
Diplomacy (to avoid bogging things down, this will be abstracted in some form where you don't get to micromanage diplomacy)
Magic (the BW system has a complicated magic system that I am not ready to adapt. The faith system is easy to adapt).
