Sorry, I'll admit to not reading all the posts from the last two weeks or so thoroughly, were you planning on playing the Yronwoods? Like I said I don't wanna get in the way of anyone's plans, I can pick another House if it's easier.


I'm not serious. Be Yronwoods.

He's shitposting, don't worry about it.


I mean, I'm like, 70% shitposting. Maybe I'll plot with Blitzy about it how bout da'?
I'm fairly sure I'd like to play House Yronwood, a personal favourite of mine, as long as that doesn't interfere with anyone else's plans. I may possibly pick up a second house elsewhere like the Mallisters or Manderlys but will focus on the Yronwoods for the time being.


Hastily tosses out the potential Stone Dornish Supremacy plot.

Gods I'm running out of backup plans for Lyanna real quick.

brb, calling the Reynes.

Ah. Nice!

I should probably ask if female knights are possible or even a female sword of the morning? I know that it's still Westeros and so it would still probably be a stretch but with Dorne being pretty progressive on its own and Daenerys as Queen could that maybe be possible?


322 AC: Daenerys declares the first of her major reforms now that her small council has been adjusted and recovery has stabilized for the time being. The entire realm is declared to follow Dornish succession laws -- women inherit on the same grounds of men. She announces this at a Grand Tournament of King's Landing where all the Lord Paramounts are present.
The OP


I imagine with this and Dorne's generally progressive attitude female knights have become less of a "Literally never brought up." thing to something that happens, if a relative rarity.

Dunno about a female Sword of the Morning though. If that's how far House Dayne has come along, then who am I to judge?

I'm still waiting for George to reveal to me which of the Stone Dornishmen follow Andal inheritance laws.
Ink's got me out here answering questions just so everyone knows I exist, apparently.

I suppose I should first ask if a House is available. Would House Dayne of Starfall be playable? As descendants through Edric Dayne I would imagine.

Also if I was playing a House would I be able to play multiple characters in the House or would it be just one? For example maybe the Lord of the House and a member of the family who joined the Queensguard.


Nobody's stated interest in House Dayne so far, so they'd be more than welcome.

Typically playing multiple points of view from within the same house is expected, so no problems there. Lord, member who joined the Queensguard, random bastard hanging out in Starfall. You name it.
Ink insisted.


- various people have switched houses (outside of Sloth who is the MVP)











Ever since man has been capable of hitting other man with a rock, the world has been divided with power, between those who have it and those who do not. On this world, perhaps even more than ours, this division is more important than any other. Some secure power with the right mechanical gadgets and the years of study necessary to build them. Others seek out power at the bottom of a chemical vat, with the handshake of some otherworldly evil, or in the bite of a genetically unstable exotic pet. A few with enough money or federal funding simply strap six tons of bulletproof power over their chest and call it a day. All of these people, designated by their power, are known as Supers. Some are heroes. Some are villains. Universally, they're all pretty dramatic.

The powers that be reigning in these powerful persons are known as the United States Department of Hero Regulation and the Villain's International League of Evildoing -- they are the respective equivalents of a high-ranking government agency and an international labor union working in tandem to ensure the other side follows roughly the same rules. The fleshbound VILE Codex of Cruelty, for instance, shares no less than 500 identical pages to the official DHR Federal Mandates & Regulations Handbook, and this is no strange coincidence. Both sides have inscrutable teams of lawyers and investigative sub-agencies, and both sides are just about as scary as the IRS when you're on their bad side. Every ten years, they hold a summit to review and revise the rules, and the 2020 summit is to be held only seven days from our story's inception.

Supers!, which I am already regretting stylizing with an exclamation point, is to be a semi-sandbox story -- that means I am giving you a fair amount of freedom with your individual stories and themes -- with two overarching subplots going on for Heroes and Villains. I expect probably two people to apply to this, so accordingly, there are a bunch of rules (not in the annoying "i'm the GM i reserve the right to shit down your chimney" way) in order to ensure that these two people have sheets that demonstrate an understanding of this difficult-to-understand world. With that, I'll drop my GM voice and get down to it.

The madman actually did it.
