The Band of Fools - A Medieval Mercenary Company Roleplay

[Enigmatik]

Probably going to play a returning crusader. He indebted himself whilst away, and returns to find his wife dead, and whilst the Church has looked after his holdings, he really has nothing to hold him back anymore. Probably has some decent armour and a blade, and the experience to use them, but is sort of depressed and certainly now in his early 30s, wondering what exactly he should be doing for his life.

I've made a Discord server for people to chat in if you have lots of questions/want to start discussing plot/characters/worldbuilding, come by and hang out with me.

Gonna have lunch and workout then I'll start on the OOC

Yeah longbows can and will be a thing. However, there is a debate about how battlefield longbows are used. Very little period art shows it raised for the volley, a lot of historians think it was designed to be used as the enemy closed in to maximise penetration.

But consider the fact that "With work scarce they became little more than glorified thugs and many even turned to banditry when hard times struck," so our combat method may be a bit more unorthodox. I guess it depends on our orders and to what extent we follow them.

My interest is yours, I do love some medieval shenanigans. Expect to see me on the Discord server!

[Kassarock]

Oh wow, there sure is a lot a people wanting to join this - I may have to be a little stricter than normal with entry requirements.

[Kassarock]

The OCC is up!

Get thinking about those characters every one!

Since you're looking for feedback... this is purely to do with my personal taste, since it looks like you've put some good thought and good work into this. I prefer a goodly smattering of magic in my role-playing, and military take-orders stuff does not sound terribly appealing to me. I think it'll be a very good game, just not one I'd personally enjoy.

I am incredibly interested in this. First game that I clicked on since I joined the site. Probably going to be blown away by the others applications, but I am still going to throw my tiny hat in the ring.
