Successor game rules, draft one.

[ULC]

I have an objection! What about new houses? Are they going to be subsumed by the Royal House as well? Honestly, leave it up to the Dukes on whether or not to pass on their Ducal title to a member of the Royal Family.

We have Noble Houses, and it doesn't make sense to me to hand it over to some twerp who has no idea how to govern a House just because the rules say so - that's an immediate civil war brewing. If I had contorl of a House, I would not, under any circumstances, surrender my title to the royal line.

And if a RBG wishes to make his House hereditary, he has to marry into the family or be adopted, which already takes care of keeping the Houses in the family.

Houses wouldn't be hereditary beyond Duke #1, and RGBs that fight their way to attaining a Dukeship would have nothing to fear about being replaced by some royal brat.

It's part of the reason I didn't think the neatened family tree would matter in choosing a system, since it may or may not last long.

So just let it be and stop trying to clutter the rules

Hey I didn't suggest it.

At any rate it would all climax (or not, if the handover goes smoothly) with the coming of age of the two young Princes. One fairly short paragraph in the rules and the effects would end in under 16 years into the game.

Funny idea, say people vote for the Stewards. Well, unlike KOTR all rules are changable, so a very, very powerful steward could not only refuse to hand over the title, but have the rules changed so noone could do anything about it.
