Pontus PBM campaign

[orcorama]

heres a thread for any pontus pbm related stuff

[Craterus]

Yes, I think we should use this thread rather than the "new PBM campaign" thread.

Craterus and Orcarama, I wonder if we should reserve this thread to be for the PBM write-ups? Maybe at some stage Craterus can edit his post above this one to insert a write-up? I can edit this one to write-up my 10 years? We could leave the other thread to go over logistics. The "new PBM" thread serves this logistical function already, so we could use this one for stuff that other people might want to read without having to wade through boring administrative posts.

Do you have to do write-ups? I did keep notes just in case but what are they for, just to tell people what it's like playing as a certain faction?

It's usual to do write-ups. Part of the idea is to let later players know how the faction got where it is. They can be fun to read and write if you try to get in character or find an interesting narrative approach. Here's an example of one of my write ups that I am most satisfied with (story starts on around post 25 in the thread):

Crumbs, re-reading that makes me remember how much better the battles were in MTW. I confess I'm finding write-ups a little harder to get inspiration for in RTW than I did in MTW.

Looks good, I'm going to try and write a story for the Mead Hall, regarding my next campaign.

Simon, all your write-ups are something you should be proud of
