So, any idea when we can start posting for this? My body is ready...
You can use Superman. I'm sure he's been involved with most every hero around. I can't imagine someone not picking Batman up so unless Grenade has a problem with it go ahead and do Nightwing. Shoot I'll take Batman myself if nobody wants him. Although having two of the big three might not be fair.

Do be willing to change some stuff if the Batman player asks you to.
Possibly interested

let's keep the New 52 bashing to a minimum.


Haha, the New 52 is over. Now I can complain about that stupid mech suit they have Jim Gordon in pretending to be Batman. I'm fine with everything else going on including the super depressing Superman situation, but that's just silly.
Map looks good to me. Much better than what I had done lol. I'm happy with Skavia as you have it now. Just needs to have the names put into it and I'll replace my old one. Thanks for doing that!

Just to add to this, I'm inclined to post the OOC in the Advanced section, assuming this gets enough interest. This'll be a high casual/low advanced sort of gig, so you won't be required to write a novel. However, if the majority of players want this to be in Casual, that's quite possible.


Sounds good to me. Nothing against casual, I'll just be doing what I always do with a minimum of three MS Word pages for a post. But that's just me.

I've kind of planned that House av Snaggasson has two warchiefs under their command with men that serve as the Duke's personal retinue. Tormund av Snaggasson, the last Duke's brother also maintains a host of warriors called the Hundred Names, who are people that House av Snaggasson sends to Vyntarland and brings back when they're seasoned and have "earned their names" so to speak, or earned their titles in combat. Their house is also known for a type of troop called the Blackthegn, which are basically Viking Navy Seals. They coat themselves and their weapons in black or dark brown paint, row down a river or creep through the forest to sneak into camps and wreak havoc.

If that's the case, House av Snaggasson could have sworn their allegiance to Skavia and quickly become the military house loyal to the King of Skavia himself and not beholden to a backwater collection of outposts manned by the King of Perhyr's cousin but instead within his own borders. Perhaps during the raiding season where House av Snaggasson sends the untested warriors to Vyntarland, before they come back, they let Vororborg ask any of them if they want to stay and swear themselves to the Keepers. That way, the keepers have a sort of tax of men that keeps the keepers stocked with hearty warriors, but also lets House av Snaggasson still be supplied with rough men at the Duke and the King's beck and call for those times when the Vyntics raid along their coasts.


Cool cool, just out of curiosity, what Duchy do you plan on taking. I want to get that Vassal information on my sheet finished up.
Hey guys, I'm going to be playing Superman and helping Grenade out as Co-GM. Just introducing myself. I've never done a casual RP before, I've always been in advanced but we'll see how this goes.

The Northmen do have allies on the coast of Vyntarland:

<Snipped quote>

There are two or three strongholds in this territory called The Rift, and Skavia would probably be eager to send men to aid in the defense against their feral cousins. Pretty malleable. As for "recalling them" I'm sure that said Keepers of the Rift would be not thrilled about sending men home but The Rift is not The Wall, it is not a sentence for life if so willed.

Surprised that the Vyntic raiders actually went around the guards and keeprs of The Rift and invaded Skavia come to think about it.


Well, that's quite a lot of territory for two or three strongholds to cover and guard. Plus I'm certain King Crach wouldn't mind it if some Vyntic raiders sailed around Skavia and attacked Erayis or Stormtir. (Not saying they are anything like my wonderful king but...) Perhaps they were even involved in that war somehow.
Would it be feasible for House av Snaggasson to keep their fighting men top-notch by sending them to Vyntarland to fight and raid before recalling them as fully-blooded warriors who've proved their worth?


Not sure. That's up to @Gowi but I would be okay with it as long as you were trying to be THE military house of Skavia. Plus the Vynts raid us all the time so your troops could gain experience just from defending our shores. Not sure the average house would do that but the house that strives to be the big time soldier producer would make sense.
