[House rules] Tell us about yours

[Basileus_ton_Basileon]

I usually don't use strict rules, but I tend to orientate on this "master rule":

Don't do anything without in-character reason.

This may lead to derived rules depending on faction, family member and mood.

I second to that. I would do things that would coincide with the character's traits. Other stuff are based on historical common sense.

For RP purposes, I also make the new basileus stop whatever he's doing and run back to the capital (with his army in tow...heh heh) to 'solidify' his claim to the title. If he's in the middle of a campaign then it makes the pacing of the campaign a lot more fun...
