Kingmakers: The Throne Alone (A Medieval Fantasy Succession Crisis)

@Cohors Okay since its entirely possible to create new marriage alliances without having bethroed at a young age. Daymian was still unmarried and he was early 30's. Otherwise, move them over.

Long may you defend the west!

@Zoldyck I like the loyalty to King Colyt II aspect! The only thing I want to point out is the "lack of feudalism", I know the real life historical inspiration you're going after though so one idea I had is that maybe Gelderecht was more feudal but between having to put down revolts and getting on the Mad King's bad side, a lot of nobles ended up dead so now its more in a transitory state because its lost so many noble houses and now having to find a new way to stay stable.

Also I would probably tone down the industrialization a little bit and bring up the farming capacity a bit more, even the capital is only so industrialized and the Crownmark does have decent farmland all around. Could be something Elise works on on the side during the RP, working towards increasing clothier workshops or something by trying to import more wool from the North/West to pay for more soldiers or gain the wealth for recognition. Would work well with the "transitory" state mentioned above.

@Cohors Just checking you're okay with playing two characters. Also, Elay's current husband is just an NPC right?

Okay GM post time. In 24 Hours (3:30 PM US EST) I will be closing applications and more or less locking in the current roster. This includes anyone who has shown interest but has not posted any type of character sheet/application. There are enough players in this at the moment that I want to see how it goes with this large of a group. If more spots for characters open up in the future, I will announce them once I have an idea on how this RP will run.

AGAIN, SHOWING INTEREST ALONE DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL GET IN. YOU MUST HAVE A CHARACTER SHEET IN THE OOC OR CHAR TAB.

Also, because everyone and their mother wants to play as the notGolden Company/a mercenary company, I will only be allowing one mercenary character for now.

@Zoldyck Probably, the discord is for quick messaging.

@Zoldyck You can't do a 1 to 1 translation of the Golden Company with them actually supporting another third option pretender to the throne. What can be done however if you really want to is that you play as the family of another PC who went out and made their own mercenaries. You could even be one of the Mad King's bastards (but unlike Anyamara you wouldn't get your own claim).

If you really want to just go for something more martial, being a vassal of the Western Marches is an option as they're the ones who see the most actual combat in the kingdom, fighting off nomads and such.

@Zoldyck Welcome aboard, you got any character ideas?

Kingmakers: The Throne Alone (A Medieval Fantasy Succession Crisis)

@Dark Light Looks good! Although just to check, you sure you don't want any lands or noble titles?

Kingmakers: The Throne Alone (A Medieval Fantasy Succession Crisis)

@Crooked Knight Yes, please send me the worldbuilding stuff over PM or on Discord so I can look at it.

@Dark Cloud Discord is just to make rapid fire planning quicker, its not a requirement and a few players aren't even on it or all that active so don't let that stop you!
