You mention at one point in your highly amusing 'Knight of the Medlar' campaign blog, that you've got some unpublished houserules for appointments and graft and I was wondering if they were likely to be made public at any point.

OK, I'll answer this once. Please do not keep asking though. I'll put notice on the announcements pages. :)

I work on a lot of little fiddly stuff for this game and my campaign, and I would love to share it with everyone. That is my plan.
But I can only do one thing at a time. I literally feel like I have to spend some time recovering from the effort of doing the BoA and BoB, and plan to take a break from KAP afterward to concentrate on some other creative effort that will likely exhaust me again and make KAP look like lightweight fun again. :)

The appointments and graft material is in what I tentatively call the Book of Honors. It includes a batch of material that is " beyond" the economics of the Book of the Manor. Much of the material is the kind of thing that would take a knight off the adventuring path, more like a position to retire a successful character into.

It contains other information for similar activities, some of which will be in it when I've had a chance to make sure it works better than, oh say, the Hunting rules in KAP5. :o

So, patience please! And thank you.

Cool! But this "Book of Honors" would not be the same thing as a "Book of Nobles" (titles, gentry, etc.), I'm assuming ... ?

It will cover some of that, but with plenty of other stuff too, especially the Appointments, Resources for upper rank nobles, and maybe some other.

Hi Greg,

Sounds fund.

Would be good to be able to play your retired character and you new young knight, but both with different objectives.

So while one is killing Saxons, the other is trying to stop the county going bankrupt.

Although for me, playing a Treasurer is of little interest in the game of adventure, and I do not make any game system for such accounting purposes.
These are more like a position into which a character can retire, or perhaps (as in Cynfyn's case) a temporary task that offers opportunity for wealth or virtue (though never both).

So player knights could be retired from active, 'adventuring' play to become officers of their liege (Butler, Seneschal, Chancellor, Commissioner of Array etc)? Sounds very interesting and I'll look out for it down the road.

Thanks for the info.
