So last knight pretty much ended Uther reign (I have the funerals to do, but I want to start the next period with that).

They were all a bit shocked, two of the knights joined the Lords in the hall, but one went off with a wench and the other was poisoned, but saved by drinking a healing potion the knight had obtained from killing a troll (still has to roll a stat loss). All in all they were a bit shocked.

I think when I start the next period it will be interesting as I think I will have a split in the party as some want to support Robert and other want to take control, I feel I may have a Civil War on my hands.

The only big improvement would have been an extra hour as I had to rush it a little, but I don?t think it suffered too much.

So that?s it till next time, which will probably be next year now! Running a supers game set in Regency England for a few weeks and then my friend is starting the second Orpheus Book.

Laters,

Sounds like the end of ours - a stunned silence in the room...

I wish I had let my players do a little more during the Anarchy period. They still for the most part tried to remain true and loyal knihts even though their Lord was dead and they acted as they would have if Robert had survived. While noble, the self imposed goodness was sad. It ws sad because this is the one real time players can forhget Fuedal rules and pretty much do as they please shaping things as they see fit. Some clever players may even change the face of britian mildly, and some boundaries might be difgferent when the dust setttles. Thats what count Edar did in his Anarchy period. He basically seized Leicester which made him greater nobility, and has made him what he is today. I am just advising u to let ur players who are clever have a good time in the anarchy. It can be very fun and interesting and soon enough everyone is back to regular old fuedal society rules. But have fun and good luck!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
