Successor game faction discussion thread

It's okay AG. Arnold's vassals understood him, although in Becker's case that was only until that whole Illuminati business was made public.

I've got a sketch started out, something like this perhaps?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I've been doing some thinking recently (I work overnights in a tollbooth this summer, so my mind's had a lot of time to wander) and I think KotR would be translated very well into a TV series. It could be set up Battlestar: Galactica style, with a focus on the main generation of characters (Lothar, Arnold, Becker, the von Kastiliens, et al.):

Miniseries: Heinrich's Papal affair
Season 1: Coming-of-age of the characters to Jobst's death
Season 2: Succession dispute to Illuminati's putting a hit out on Siegfried
Season 3: Siegfried's death to Bern
Season 4: Bern aftermath to Trent

I would be wonderful if the whole thing couldn't be compiled into a book first - should be to hard, just take fairly long. I wonder how big it would end up being?

I always thought KOTR's later years would make a good Shakespearean tragedy. Although admittedly, I came to that conclusion while thinking about what would have happended if Sigismund had lived.

KotR was a cracking good story.

At face value the story was excellent even without the Illuminati stuff happening in the background.

That was the best part about it for me. There was such a good depth in the narrative and so many contributors.

The characters were strong enough to run the story. The exception being the cataclysm.

[Zim]

I thought the game was pretty character driven during the Cataclysm. At least from my standpoint of a lowly newly recruited RGB it seemed to be all about conflicts between larger than life characters like Hummel and the loyalists, Becker and Arnold, etc.

[AussieGiant]

I didn't write that statement very well Zim.

What I meant was that the cataclysm was an "event" in order to "up the tempo" however even then the characters were still driving the story.
