- Tatch What's all this then?
- Tatch Wait, is this the right channel?
- Tatch Hrm.
- NevinKash Hey!
- NevinKash Uhh...The DM left something like an hour and a half ago.
- Tatch Yeah.
- Tatch I'm a slow reader.
- NevinKash But he'll be back tomorrow in about twelve and a half hours.
- Tatch Hmmm.
- NevinKash That's a weird way to say it but I'm not too clear on GMT and Pacific-Eastern and so on.
- NevinKash You're here for the game, right?
- Tatch Yeah.
- Tatch Looked interesting.
- Tatch How many people are you looking for.
- Tatch for?
- NevinKash A gorillion.
- grenadierman hi tatch
- grenadierman well
- NevinKash Naw. Basically anyone you think would like it.
- grenadierman we only have myself nevin and birgitte and jord that play actively.
- Tatch Oh, so you've already been playing for a while and you're picking up new players.
- NevinKash The DM runs EVERY DAY and has for like the last three months so that's pretty special.
- Tatch Wow, really?
- NevinKash Yeah, but it's not a laser-like campaign. We're still in the stages of kingdom building so it's really malleable.
- NevinKash Yeah, dude.
- NevinKash And he runs for like five hours a day.
- Tatch Damn.
- NevinKash Have you ever heard of such a thing?
- NevinKash It's rad.
- |<-- grenadierphone has left irc.rizon.net (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- Tatch Shit.
- Tatch That's flabbergasting tbh.
- NevinKash I know. I don't know how he does it but he's pretty cool.
- Tatch Uh, I'm assuming that it's alright if someone can't play everyday.
- NevinKash Don't feel pressure to show up every -
- NevinKash Right.
- Tatch So how do you establish a consistent narrative if not everyone can show up for every session?
- NevinKash Well...To be honest, me, Birgitte, grenadier and Jord ARE here every day.
- NevinKash We've also got people that drop in every once in a while.
- Tatch I see.
- Tatch So, how does this game work?
- Tatch I know Dresden.
- Tatch But I'm not familiar with Kingdom Maker.
- NevinKash Don't think we're the stars of the show, though. He's pretty cool about giving someone one-on-one attention and often splits off into PM's for that purpose. Guy's like a machine.
- NevinKash It's not 'Kingdom Maker' in the mechanical sense.
- NevinKash We ARE making a kingdom, though.
- NevinKash But it's by character action.
- NevinKash Should I expand on that or are you curious about other things?
- Tatch Uh sure. I'm just curious as to how you guys play this game.
- NevinKash Hmm...Trying to think of something to compare it to...
- NevinKash Okay, imagine a normal game.
- NevinKash Because for all intents and purposes that is what it is.
- NevinKash But the overarching 'theme' of the campaign is the slow building of a kingdom.
- NevinKash Initially, the 'kingdom' was just an orc tribe squatting in an old abandoned castle.
- NevinKash Then there was some hubbub with a nearby tribe of wild elves and they were assimilated into a tribe.
- NevinKash Then a kerfluffle with the orc chieftain's dragongirl concubine and a fertility potion ended up with him siring something like a hundred kids at once.
- NevinKash Into THE tribe*
- grenadierman when two tribes go to war
- grenadierman one is all that you can score
- NevinKash We freed some satyrs from control of a fey woman and they joined us as refugees, so we expanded further.
- NevinKash Do you see where I'm going with this?
- Tatch Yeah.
- NevinKash Slowly more and more people and creatures are absorbed into the kingdom and more building takes place.
- Tatch So do you manage construction and stuff like that?
- NevinKash In what sense?
- NevinKash Oh, do you mean are we RPing overseers and foremen and stuff? Hah, no.
- Tatch Is that a mechanic in this game?
- Tatch Managing and building your kingdom?
- NevinKash Nah, just a narrative.
- Tatch I see.
- NevinKash No dicerolling takes place to see how many crops the villagers took in, if that's what you mean.
- NevinKash Is that good 'I see' or a bad 'I see'?
- Tatch Neither.
- Tatch It's just something I say when I understand something.
- NevinKash I see.
- Tatch Oh u.
- NevinKash :3
- Tatch Hmm.
- NevinKash Yeah?
- Tatch I'm trying to think of more questions.
- NevinKash I should mention that we houseruled Dresden pretty heavily.
- Tatch So the game is mostly narrative based.
- NevinKash There's no social track anymore, for instance.
- Tatch Ah.
- Tatch Can you explain the house rules?
- NevinKash I...I'm sorry, I can't. The whole thing goes way over my head.
- Tatch Ah, you're like me I see.
- NevinKash The underlying...Underline...?
- Tatch Crunch was never something I was good at.
- Tatch You should have seen me trying to get the hang of Exalted.
- NevinKash Underlying thing here is to simplify and uncheese Dresden mages.
- NevinKash Which is almost impossible, I realize, and we still didn't quite manage it. But fuck me if it isn't an improvement.
