  1. Tatch What's all this then?
  2. Tatch Wait, is this the right channel?
  3. Tatch Hrm.
  4. NevinKash Hey!
  5. NevinKash Uhh...The DM left something like an hour and a half ago.
  6. Tatch Yeah.
  7. Tatch I'm a slow reader.
  8. NevinKash But he'll be back tomorrow in about twelve and a half hours.
  9. Tatch Hmmm.
  10. NevinKash That's a weird way to say it but I'm not too clear on GMT and Pacific-Eastern and so on.
  11. NevinKash You're here for the game, right?
  12. Tatch Yeah.
  13. Tatch Looked interesting.
  14. Tatch How many people are you looking for.
  15. Tatch for?
  16. NevinKash A gorillion.
  17. grenadierman hi tatch
  18. grenadierman well
  19. NevinKash Naw. Basically anyone you think would like it.
  20. grenadierman we only have myself nevin and birgitte and jord that play actively.
  21. Tatch Oh, so you've already been playing for a while and you're picking up new players.
  22. NevinKash The DM runs EVERY DAY and has for like the last three months so that's pretty special.
  23. Tatch Wow, really?
  24. NevinKash Yeah, but it's not a laser-like campaign. We're still in the stages of kingdom building so it's really malleable.
  25. NevinKash Yeah, dude.
  26. NevinKash And he runs for like five hours a day.
  27. Tatch Damn.
  28. NevinKash Have you ever heard of such a thing?
  29. NevinKash It's rad.
  30. |<-- grenadierphone has left irc.rizon.net (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  31. Tatch Shit.
  32. Tatch That's flabbergasting tbh.
  33. NevinKash I know. I don't know how he does it but he's pretty cool.
  34. Tatch Uh, I'm assuming that it's alright if someone can't play everyday.
  35. NevinKash Don't feel pressure to show up every -
  36. NevinKash Right.
  37. Tatch So how do you establish a consistent narrative if not everyone can show up for every session?
  38. NevinKash Well...To be honest, me, Birgitte, grenadier and Jord ARE here every day.
  39. NevinKash We've also got people that drop in every once in a while.
  40. Tatch I see.
  41. Tatch So, how does this game work?
  42. Tatch I know Dresden.
  43. Tatch But I'm not familiar with Kingdom Maker.
  44. 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.
  45. NevinKash It's not 'Kingdom Maker' in the mechanical sense.
  46. NevinKash We ARE making a kingdom, though.
  47. NevinKash But it's by character action.
  48. NevinKash Should I expand on that or are you curious about other things?
  49. Tatch Uh sure. I'm just curious as to how you guys play this game.
  50. NevinKash Hmm...Trying to think of something to compare it to...
  51. NevinKash Okay, imagine a normal game.
  52. NevinKash Because for all intents and purposes that is what it is.
  53. NevinKash But the overarching 'theme' of the campaign is the slow building of a kingdom.
  54. NevinKash Initially, the 'kingdom' was just an orc tribe squatting in an old abandoned castle.
  55. NevinKash Then there was some hubbub with a nearby tribe of wild elves and they were assimilated into a tribe.
  56. 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.
  57. NevinKash Into THE tribe*
  58. grenadierman when two tribes go to war
  59. grenadierman one is all that you can score
  60. NevinKash We freed some satyrs from control of a fey woman and they joined us as refugees, so we expanded further.
  61. NevinKash Do you see where I'm going with this?
  62. Tatch Yeah.
  63. NevinKash Slowly more and more people and creatures are absorbed into the kingdom and more building takes place.
  64. Tatch So do you manage construction and stuff like that?
  65. NevinKash In what sense?
  66. NevinKash Oh, do you mean are we RPing overseers and foremen and stuff? Hah, no.
  67. Tatch Is that a mechanic in this game?
  68. Tatch Managing and building your kingdom?
  69. NevinKash Nah, just a narrative.
  70. Tatch I see.
  71. NevinKash No dicerolling takes place to see how many crops the villagers took in, if that's what you mean.
  72. NevinKash Is that good 'I see' or a bad 'I see'?
  73. Tatch Neither.
  74. Tatch It's just something I say when I understand something.
  75. NevinKash I see.
  76. Tatch Oh u.
  77. NevinKash :3
  78. Tatch Hmm.
  79. NevinKash Yeah?
  80. Tatch I'm trying to think of more questions.
  81. NevinKash I should mention that we houseruled Dresden pretty heavily.
  82. Tatch So the game is mostly narrative based.
  83. NevinKash There's no social track anymore, for instance.
  84. Tatch Ah.
  85. Tatch Can you explain the house rules?
  86. NevinKash I...I'm sorry, I can't. The whole thing goes way over my head.
  87. Tatch Ah, you're like me I see.
  88. NevinKash The underlying...Underline...?
  89. Tatch Crunch was never something I was good at.
  90. Tatch You should have seen me trying to get the hang of Exalted.
  91. NevinKash Underlying thing here is to simplify and uncheese Dresden mages.
  92. NevinKash Which is almost impossible, I realize, and we still didn't quite manage it. But fuck me if it isn't an improvement.
