[quote=HazmatMedic]Random events can be bad things - barbarians attack, bad harvest, floods, things like that - but they can also be good things - rare ores uncovered, bountiful harvest, the capture of a highly wanted criminal - and they test a leader's ability to control the country. But, as always, I am open to suggestions and ideas.I'll edit the list now. Anyone in the list can post IC whenever they want.

I am not open to Random Events at all, as that takes away significant story elements that normally the players are in control of. More often than not, these events are used very poorly by the GM to make what they call "Story potential" with other players that usually ends up with one person being at a significant disadvantage to the other nation.
