The new King has been decided! Rickard Arryn, after the passing on of his uncle, is being crowned the new King of Westeros. Several people in King's Landing aren't too happy with that. In fact some talk of the Starks being the rightful kings, as the current Lord Stark had stronger blood ties with the old King than Rickard.

I'll be playing a Lannister called Mychael Lannister. You're free to play whoever you choose from any House (or a Snow, a bastard from any house) as well as taking over Rickard Arryn (if not I'll just do him). Feel free to have several characters, though keep in mind at some point Chapter 2 will be somewhere else, where you'll need a new set of character(s) (or juste one) unless you send your KL character to the new location.

Combat will be played with RnG, using https://www.random.org/

Nude characters will be played by you rolling a 0 to 20 and aiming for a body part. Then you have to roll their attack on your character. Scoring is as follows:

0-Miss
10-Bad/Light hit
20-Excellent hit (for people wearing only light clothing, this means a death on any body part and a full dismemberment on say a hand).

For medium armour, it switches to this:

0-miss
10-very bad hit
20-bad/light hit, light bruising under the armour
30-Good hit, dent or damage on armour
40-Excellent (see light armour variation)

For heavy/plate armour:

0-miss
10-very bad hit
20-bad/light hit, light bruising under the armour
30-Good hit, dent or damage on armour
40-Excellent, armour pierced
50-Excellent, armour and bones underneath broken on that body part

When on foot you can aim for a body part, but on horseback or when shooting a bow or crossbow you must roll a die to 10 to decide which area you hit:

1-Head
2-Right Arm
3-Left Arm
4-Right Leg
5-Left Leg
6-Torso
7-Waist
8-Neck
9-Right Hip
10-Left Hip

On several of these there are sub-rolls to decide other factors. Say if you hit right arm, you then need to roll a 0 to 4 die to decide WHERE you hit:

1-Hand joint
2-Elbow Joint
3-Shoulder Joint
4-Finger(s)

Then you do the relevant light/medium/heavy roll and see how hard you hit in that area. Find all the info in the Hider below.



The game starts during this feast, and will move on to the tourney. Feel free to send in a CS! The first chapter is King's Landing only I'm afraid, but as he is King of the Seven Kingdoms you can start off your Character's story in say, Dorne, and describe his journey KL for the crowning ceremony and/or joust.

There! If you need any clarifications, post in OOC. Please PM me your CS or post it here! I'm eagerly awaiting them!

Thanks alot, Hope to RP with you soon

Template for the CS?

Edit: Also, if we're playing noble characters (which I assume most of us are), how are we to handle our retinue? A lord wouldn't travel from Dorne unaccompanied, of course. We should make other lords/servants/knights/etc. that we won't be using as our principal POV, correct?

Yes, you may make non playable characters (or non POV if you prefer). Feel free to make a CS for the most important (or all) of them, but it's not necessary if you don't want to.

Here's the CS, sorry:

Two questions, one, what happened to the Targaryens in this alternate history, and two, any prerequisites for joining other than just posting a CS?

No prerequisites. There was never any mad king, so you can write whatever you want if you write the first Targaeryen!

Alright, in that case if it's alright with you I'll have the Targaryens have been overthrown by the last king, due more to the kings weakness than insanity like the case of Aerys.

Also, will there be any dice-roll modifiers for characters who are notably good fighters?

I was thinking of that. I suppose you could just roll from 10 to 20, for an assured hit.

Great! Once we have four people I think we can probably start in the IC ;) This is going to be great

Also, for Daemon since he has had contacts within the court at Kings Landing, he should probably know who is on his side. I guess just send me a PM if your character is loyal to the three headed Dragon, if that works.

Hopefully we'll get some more people into this soon, it'd be a shame if only two of the great houses are represented. If there aren't any new characters for awhile I may make a Martell.

Your cue, Little Mx

Honestly we should probably wait for more people before continuing too far into the coronation. Also there isn't much for my character to react to yet.

Agreed. Besides, I have to get some sleep. I'll have an early morning coming.

It may be worth PMing the people from the interest check who haven't said anything yet.

Agreed.

Working on a post. Was a bit busy today.

Next time you're online RP, if you haven't already you should definitely send PM's to the other people from the interest check.

Come on guys, it's the opportunity to do the IC ^^
