Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I seem to be getting through my personal writing block in general, but I’m still glaring at a blank screen in my word processor for three hours on some days. I love writing but sometimes writing does not love me.

Great post, still reading it.

Caught up to LoK

Because I like the franchise? Apparently you think I'm not allowed to like it if I'm not 100% happy with the entire series? lolok

Thanks for answering my questions guys.Of course. However, just because he's older doesn't make him a more suitable candidate for the throne, perhaps my character is on the furthest branch of the family tree. It's possible that you, or any of the other Blackwaters, wouldn't even know that he was part of the Blackwater lineage he's so far removed

So you're totally my cousin who was the same age? Sounds like typical marriage material for monarchy's back in the day (if your character is male). Also, even if we rule that out we might've been childhood friends when we were like 5-8 or something. I think my character was like 8 when the coupe happened, so there's a lot of potential for story there.

2. Would you be willing to accept a new Blackwater? He’d be about 25 years old, and before the treachery he was something like 92nd in line to the throne. He wouldn’t be eligible to reclaim the throne as there are still a few Blackwaters that are closer in line.

That would make you one year older than Edessa/Ilayna! I recommend reading her CS if you are making a Blackwater of that age area.

Ahh, I was kinda playing for sarcasm. I've been map making for about 7 days - basically just because I wanted us all on the same page when it came to Valarian geography.

Well that joke went over my head.

I'll see what I can do at any rate, I'm going to re-read and PM Brand and see how he wants it in vision.

Heh.I think my work speaks for itself vis a vis how much of a passion cartography is for me.

You and me both, I've been playing with mapmaking for sometime now (started in MSpaint about ten years ago and now am competent with flash, photoshop, etc) and I think i have a similar drive for cartography. Though I haven't touched my Cartographer's Guild account in years which makes me right now sad that I haven't kept up with the site.

Why do I get the impression you are going "Yes, I don't want to do the map! Do it! Do it now! SALVATION!", haha. Anyway when I'm on my desktop I'll see what I can do.

I got bored and (with permission) made this...resolution isn't everything I was hoping for, there are probably some errors (though I tried to be as accurate to the opening post as possible) it's a bit lacking a detail and the rivers are really fucking stupid... but it's the best I could do with the time I had. Hopefully it should make understanding the local geography a little bit easier for people.

I can turn this into a "real' map if requested, btw.

Example of what I can do:
