Should BtSH call it quits?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Here is an Idea, how about have councils of all the tribes be called if Two tribe chief call for it, like each tribe can call its own councils, but to get a council with all the tribes then two Chiefs have to agree to it.

also for things like Economics I believe we may have to have each chief responsible for their own Income and upkeep (similar to WoTB rebels) then we can have one player be responsible for sorting out how much money each tribe gets (and if we have to use the console).


Really I think that the system we are working out will be similar to KoTR, but with no king. And we will have to use the Personal income system of TVS. This new game will just be smashing all these features together (Each tribe will have its own income and upkeep) If we just pick and choose from those two we have the basic rule structure. Although we will have to work out how we choose each person tribe. (do we follow the family tree or allow everyone to choose the tribe they prefer)

• So do we want to have some kind of elected position to deal with all economic issues? Or should we have each tribe elect their own?
• Do we want some kind of dueling system? (That is going to be a B!t<h to write, with EB’s trait system.
• We need to actually make the rankings. How much power should each chief have. How influential should Thanes be?
• How are we going to handle the creation of new tribes? How will we allow rebellions?
• Do we allow each chief to handle their own console work or have the GM do it?

sorry if I sound stupid, but I think these are a few questions we need to get out of the way.

see this actually would be a good system. good show. again tho if were gonna put this through i will need you guys help in recruiting a larger player base.

I think Bean had a good point when he said that this is pretty new. it is a completely different Idea to most of the other games out, and I think we should not have a huge problem recruiting from the EB forums. (perhaps Choosing Rome, the MOST hated Faction in the game, led to a problem finding Players... :p )


(I am going to try and figure out the basics for a dueling system, in case we do want to use it. Dont expect much, I dont have the time to really go through all the traits and assign bonus's....)

I wouldn't be able to do console work on my own.

And what if two chiefs decide to form an alliance, or if three chiefs gang up on the remaining tribe?

Would it be decided through PMs?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

That is all up to each player and Inter tribe politics are not actually Binding, so yeah go ahead and go through PM.


It is perfectly acceptable to gang up on other tribes, but Trying to keep this alliance together is going to difficult. Most tribes are going to want to have things divided, as it means each chief will get to keep their huge amount of influence. But I can see two tribes ganging up to take on a larger tribe
