If anyone is interested in discussing tweaks to mechanics for the Chronicle system in general (not necessarily for implementation in this game), shoot me a PM. I've been mulling changes to benefits/drawbacks and a few other areas for a possible future game, but could use input from others.

Anyone want to roll initiative and an attack or two against me, in case my mechanical interpretation is overruled? Boar fight

Anyone fancy a meeting with Roland now or once we move in to the next phase? Plus Alysanne has joined the cast now, so (subject to her pilot's availability!) I hope some other PCs can drag her in to various plots and schemes. With Attractive, Status 4 and a Great Bastard she's another mover and shaker, and hopefully Roland naming her Queen of Love and Beauty gives various PCs increased reason (an excuse?) to engage with her IC.

Maybe Daeron or other friendly Fire supporter could try to pull off a two-for with Roland and Davos - Roland having doubts about his Blood allegiance and Davos having never particularly had any to begin with.
I'm always open to having a meet-up with pretty much anyone, so long as there is a venue that makes sense - much easier now that we are (mostly?) back from the war - though I am even worse at small talk IC than I am OOC, so having a topic to kick off the conversation is good, too.
Also, while not quite as naive as Roland, Davos is manipulable in other ways, should someone want to embroil him in a plot...

I'm always interested in more meetings, especially with PCs that Daeron hasn't really had much interaction with. Just gotta find the right reason for them to cross paths.

I'm starting to get to boards more, and am open for interactions, but I'm right there with Davos. Small talk doesn't seem to be my strong suit, and Mikel may be a tad worse off than me.

By other Fire friendly PCs you mean.... lol No, I meant what I said - a Fire supporter that is friendly, as opposed to one that would rather spit on Davos than have a civilized conversation. Though I can see how someone might read it as 'a supporter of friendly fire'.

Daeron would be a good PC for that kind of meeting. He’s definitely a hot headed, super-partisan, but he’s not a knee-jerk racist and wants to persuade others to join the cause.

Current PCs who are Fire Supporters:
Hot headed, hyper partisan, dwarf puncher. Hot headed, hyper partisan, racist.
Talk about variety!

Active PCs who are Blood-leaning (IMO): Mikel (hardly an evangelist) Robyn (hot-headed, more anti-racist than truly partisan imo) Roland (only loosely, and I belive only because of a single intrigue I did because I was pissed with Balon at the time) I've done more Blood-aligned stuff, but that's because Fire people keep pissing me off & have plans that are fun to throw bombs into.
...Think that's it. Honestly, if he were to put his mind to it, Daeron could probably tilt the scales towards overwhelmingly Fire PCs in short order. I mean, who would stop him? (Okay, in the case of Robyn, I probably would, but only because I don't like conflict in the house that holds my chidren.)

(Okay, in the case of Robyn, I probably would, but only because I don't like conflict in the house that holds my chidren.) A good summary. Plus we know Roland listens to Daeron from several historic scenes, most recently Daeron dissuading Roland from volunteering to face Ser Normyn Flowers in trial by combat. There's a social taboo on kinslaying, but Roland was reasonably confident he could do some therapeutic wailing on his bastard brother without killing him. But Daeron is a trusted brother in arms - it doesn't take much from that kind of friend to get you to step down. Roland's political leanings were largely set in motion by Laena's intrigue: he was deliberately non-committal and a "Piece" for an intrigue player to move in a direction in Arc 1. Wanted him to have friends on both sides to help set up future tragedies should something as unlikely and awful as a civil war break out. He's racked up a decent pool of Blood points despite a late start, but is unusual in having a Fire point too! The other thing that pushed him to Blood was the actions of various Fire PCs & NPCs in story 1, which captured some of the flavour of the two sides: lots of Fire's partisan activities/outrages took place in public, whereas Fire's were better hidden/more subtle. This fits the bold knights of Fire and the subtle intriguers of Blood. It was a fun, organic result of the game. Blood having a higher war crime count in the Riverlands helps make Roland warier on his "side", which I've tried to bring through lately. He's a traditionalist/social conservative, so that plus taking his knightly oaths seriously push him to Blood, but being convinced the throne was denigrating knighthood/tradition chips away at his resolve. As do dishonourable actions by the Fire side and honourable actions on the Fire side. Whichever side took the credit for bringing Simon Tarly to justice would score big with him! Having dropped Romantic (effectively: Naive) at the end of Arc 1, Roland's a lot more ambitious regarding House Cordwayner now, so aid there plays in to his thinking too (not that either side has played that card yet). To the extent "Cunning 2" Roland can be accused of thinking at least.
