Stuff remaining: -Secrets tally from Vintage -Possibly going after Simon Tarly (but could be delayed to chronicle 2, maybe for "day 0") -Crakehall joust and that melee (although seems to maybe not have much potential left for things affecting chronicle 2). -Summing up events, and some unresolved effects. -Rumors. -Getting up a full record of rocks thrown by PC's and NPC's that might cause splashes.
Probably other stuff I can't remember.

House Fortunes I'm sort of feeling like letting fade into the background, although some aspects can have hooks into chronicle 2 like financing the Delia dowry will have some creative solutions involved.

I think some/most of it could go away but I like certain aspects of it. Raising money is a simple and straight forward use. Curry Favor too. Outside of special events or Faction point usage I'd probably steer clear of Long Term Projects as I don't think that has a place in a game with a fairly short time span. Take House Blackbriar e.g. Finding a metric shit ton Coffers for a dowry is a big deal. Raising the Wealth level by 1 is a pretty big deal too. I don't think there should necessarily be a hard wired mechanical effect but there should be something especially for raising a House resource as it doesn't scale linearly (iirc). Plus look at how badly Lord Blackbriar handled the last House Management. Considering how much Shiera claims Erena and Jon are incompetent rulers those rolls provide ample RP material. Combine that with Balon increasing the Wealth by +1. Maybe I'm sleep deprived atm but that seems like a good well to go to for future scenes or plot points.

Yeah, it feels like the game has moved on from them as each house has kinda developed its own plotlines and challenges unrelated to them.

It's also down to capacity, there's just too many plot threads created to keep track of them all, giving each one actual attention...yeah, not possible.

I certainly have no attachment to house fortunes. Maybe retroactively reward those that contributed to them with something else? I'm not sure how many of us actually did that though.

Tinkering away at the oldtown stuff, I'm leaning towards having a day 0 to bridge a few things, still need to wrap up lots of other stuff also.
This game turned into a bit of a tangled mess that may need some streamlining going forward.

I think bringing everyone together back in the same location will help with the streamlining, especially as opposed to half a dozen PCs running around the Riverlands, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, Dorne, and the Reach.

Yes, I think this works well. I'm biased as it is how I ran a similar game (much briefer "offseasons", but big things bringing everyone together are what makes the format special and different from table games, so I miss that. As frequently noted, a more formal schedule around destiny point refreshes/experience etc would also be helpful and much appreciated.

If I have time and energy, I should probably do this:
1. House Fortunes, boil it down to something that sort-of retains the features that have been interacted with but being much less book-keeping. 2. Have active chronicles have "Day 0", "Aftermath", have house fortunes sorted in between chronicles. Use Aftermath to resolve story threads that were opened during the chronicle, use Day 0 to set up story threads going into the chronicle (although some might just carry over into the next chronicle directly, but with the possibility to influence them in between). 3. Decide that the big war will never occur in the actual story. 4. Glory, Chivalry, Fire/Blood....some adjustments due to lessons learned, maybe.
Odds are I'll just scramble forward without doing much about 1 and 4. Except Day 0 is most likely on the agenda. The problem is that it's slightly easier to have downtime phases where one thing can be tossed in at a time than to have a chronicle set up with an actual schedule to conform to.
Chronicle 2 XP gains may have to be reduced from chronicle 1 given PC power levels, but that I can worry about later.
Other things on agenda is to restructure my "hidden rumors" in a more organized fashion so that I know whose the source of each (if any) and whether its actually true, and the good thing about spreadsheets is that I can add info on who is aware of it, too. This kinda ties into the Redwyne event because of all the secret points gathered up.
