Possible LotR Successor Game discussion thread

Sicily and the Danes sound great as faction choices in my books. For my part I'd probably be interested in starting off the same way I did in LotR, with a princess or another supporting type character, if everyone is agreeable to that. I promise to try to promote some sort of conflict.

Does anybody not have Kingdoms? I think a faction in the Britannia campaign would be very interesting.

D'oh. Well, so much for that. Obviously, we can't leave anybody out.

I don't have Kingdoms because of the DRM protection. I've heard some nasty things about it and since my TW computer is a family computer I don't want to risk putting anything like that on it. However, I'll get a shiny new Mac with both Vista and Leopard installed sometime in May/June. The vista portion would be almost soley for gaming so I'd be willing to put Kingdoms on that.

So in short, don't let me hold you guys up if you want a Kingdoms campaign. If you go that route I'll join later once some more avatars are available.

Milan and Venice have pretty good starting family trees, if I remember.

I think that Venice isn't a viable option because Crete is so far away from the rest of their provinces.

My issue with Milan is that I imagine all Milanese to be max dread backstabbing pschyco loons with a taste for assasins and human flesh. Also, their crossbowmen look like turtles. I would be willing to play them but they aren't at the top of my list.

I'm fine with Zim being GM

As for Zim being the GM, I trust him to be fair and creative enough for the job.

It's good to see the discussion going.

As a side note, what do people think of me being the gm? I have some experience doing so for hotseats, as well as experience with the console. I've had a taste of running pvp battles. I've also talked a bit with TinCow about it.
