You likely have a few hamlets spread throughout your land in addition to a hamlet or small town around your primary fortification.

Okay, I'm rolling two dice. First is to see when your house was founded, second roll is see how many events it has experienced.

Oh shit, this is getting real!

>>22638857

Rolled 2

Can we coordinate first?

How many people do we have in here and what do we want to bump up?

Rolled 5

>>22638923
That sounds fair, I think we should land+power since they're the weakest links aren't they.

>>22638894
>6 = New
Shitson, your house isn't even a generation old. Hell it likely isn't even 10 years old. It was most likely founded during or immediately after Robert's Rebellion when he, Arryn and Stark fought against the Targaryens.

>6 (-2 events for being newfags) = 4 events
Despite your recent founding, you've already gone through... well, a lot.

I need a 3d6 to decide what event brought about your founding thank you.

Rolled 3, 1, 1 = 5

>>22638941
There you go mang.

Rolled 5, 4, 3 = 12

3d6 here.

>>22638920
>>22638923
>>22638935
>>22638940

I think there's only two of you here, still enough to get this going. So either +2 to Land and +5 to Power, or co-ordinate and roll again.

>>22638923

Well, I'm here.

Lets do a headcount.

Rolled 1, 6, 6 = 13

>>22638953
Another one to the count and yeah, I think we're 2 + DM

>>22638951
3 actually, I may not post to much mind

Rolled 2, 2, 1 = 5

>>22638950
Land + law then? Land is pretty useful.

>>22638969
Sounds good to me.

>>22638969
Fucking dice I forget to take them out.

>>22638962
Looks like it's four. I'll be leaving soon, though.

Okay my +2 to land stays and the +5 goes to law instead I think we agreed that didn't we?

>>22638995
I like that plan.

>>22638995
We have four guys, can't we do four rolls?

>>22639001
He does an average if everybody rolls I think.

>1: (Founding Event) = Catastrophe
FUUCCK.

Your house most likely came about when the War of the Usurper was at its peak. You were a lesser branch of the kin who previously ruled here, likely a strain of bastards of a very distant cousin.
During the war, when the the Battle of the Trident appeared imminent, your kin's lands were invaded and their lands razed. They were, to the last babe and maiden, put to the sword. Your House took their place because they were literally the last ones left alive who had any relation to them whatsoever.
>Person who rolled this please roll another 4d6

>>22638950

>2: Ascent
Peace followed for a time after the Battle of the Trident and Robert took up the mantle of king. Your land went through a steady period of recovery.
>Person who rolled this please roll another 4d6

>>22639004
But then which stats would get boosted?

>>22639020
2 stats no matter how many rolls. We players agree which 2 stats and the 2 most voted get boosted.

Rolled 1, 5, 3, 6 = 15

>>22639019
>Ascent
Here you go.

>>22639001
If there are 4 people here than I have to take 4 rolls. Two more rolls (can only double up rolls once), first come first served thankyou.

>>22639112
Okay don't panic, I can explain to you. Whenever he asks for a roll he's getting the first rolls. If he asks for 2 3d6 rolls then the first 2 3d6 rolls are taken, not averages, now you got that?

>Treachery
One of your family members, perhaps the ruling member himself, committed some foul act of treachery, or was victim of treachery themselves. This could be anything from a younger sibling of theirs murdering them to take their place, or a plot against the liege or king that one of your House was indicated.
>Person who rolled this please roll another 3d6 (and also give a genral idea of what the treachery involved if you would)

>>22639070
>Favour
Your family gained the favour of the King during the Greyjoy rebellion. Though still recovering, your House sent what men and arms they could to the fight against the Ironborn at Seaguard. Your murky past was overlooked somewhat and your family members enjoyed several favorable marriage prospects and positions.
>Person who rolled please provide another 4d6

>>22639126
Pretty much this. Sorry if I hadn't made that clear before.

Rolled 1, 3, 3, 2 = 9

Oh, and 3d6 for Treachery.
If you need a description: some jackass tried raising a rebel army to seize power. Didn't end well for him. Ended on the top of a pike, to be precise.

>>22639139
We have 4 and a half more or less, one of them was gonna leave soonish.

>>22639143
That was actually me. I'm off in about half an hour to an hour.

>>22639151
Well then yes, 5 or so people are in here, rolling for the might of Pimping mcgee

>>22639133
Lower than you might hope, but you are a minor fledgling house after all. And King Robert is made famous for his inattentiveness.

>>22639139
That's actually a damn good roll for treachery (the 4 ADDS to your Power). The story suits the roll as well, after the attempted coup the House may have invested in more loyal troops.

So (as far as I understand) the +2, +2 was to land and the +5, +1 was to Law?

>>22639161
Yup, that's correct.

>>22639168

No objections.

However, remember that above all else, we are the Pimp. We need to lay down the law, and keep that Pimp Hand strong.

>Defence = 48
Excellent natural defences are made all the more formidable by your towering fortifications. You most likely have a castle, possibly a big one.

>Influence = 36
You have the influence of a minor house, equivalent to House Mormont or House Clegane. It's likely that most nobles of Westeros would have a decent chance at recalling your colours.

>Land = 23
A modest stretch of land. Comparable to what House Frey owns, but with mountains instead of swamp.

>Law = 14
Mountain Bandits plauge your territory, but you manage to keep their raiding low and at the fringes of your land.

>Population = 22
Typical population size. Most smallfolk live in scattered villages throughout the region, you might have a small town located outside your castle.

>Power = 22
Modest force of soldiers, including a cohort of trained troops.

>Wealth = 30
Fairly prosperous, your House has all the essentials and can afford comforts fitting to their station.

>>22639161
Or rather the coup failed when the pimping lord turned the usupers own men against him. The men turned their swords on the traitor at a key moment, earning their pardon. The biggest betrayers (kin and old friends) while the rest learned the lord was a better man to work under. OR, the traitor arose during the rebiellon, and when the lord returned from the campaign he brought with him southern/northern knights and freeriders who sworn themselves to him

>>22639250
Oh my god that defence, holly balls. First thing we're gonna have to do though is upping that law, that law holly shit...

I was going to ask for a name for your House, but it seems that you've already agreed on one. I approve most heartily.
However, keep in mind you may not necessarily even end up with a character in a position to govern the house.
>inb4 toothless peasant-law-unto-himself

Right now, I'm looking for your House Words. Either a saying or battlecry that your fledgling Lords try to live by, or at least feel captures the spirit of their house. Your house is young enough that it could be used to describe your ruling lord himself.

>>22639250
I can dig it. Gotta get lawmongering fast though.

Also, new player here. Hi.

>>22639250
>That defence

I'll take the precise details of the treason for myself to work out, but the general events are up to you guys. It's happened WAY too recently to not rear it's ugly head again in actual gameplay. Rest assured it'll come back to haunt your House.
>what-a-tweest.jpg

>>22639266
Yep, pretty much the law loses most of its meaning as soon as you step outside your town walls.

>>22639305
I would accept "In Law, In deeds"

Guys, I have to wonder. Why are we going law-mode, when law is our weakest stat?

>>22639272
Or "Punching Death in the Face"

>>22639313
Because we need to up that law as judge dredd would do.

>>22639318
But surely as law was weak at the house founding, our words wouldn't be about law?
Or it'd just be highlighting a flaw.

>>22639305
In law I like, in practice lacks, we're getting there guys.

>>22639322
Now thats a fair point...

>>22639322
Its actually highlighting an aspiration

>>22639322
I think law probably dropped after the treason, where most of our troops exhausted themselves fighting each other. As a result, our resources are stretched thin covering our moderately sized lands.

>>22639339
.>>22639322
Holly shit I'm ping-poning around with your fair points. This is gonna be a fun quest

>>22639339
But our power increased from the treason, meaning our troops only got stronger.

>>22639322
Actually I can see a hard ass law giver like Stannis given some unforgiving shithole that needs taming

Its also possible that over the years his heirs have been somewhat slack in there duty

UNTIL NOW

>>22639250
>Fairly prosperous, your House has all the essentials and can afford comforts fitting to their station.

Not good enough.

Time to start digging into the mountains to discover the wealth hidden within.

>>22639354
Time to start pimping the bandits, law up, money up, we bitching

>>22639351
>Its also possible that over the years his heirs have been somewhat slack in there duty

What heirs? This House was founded during the War of the Usurper, the House Founder is probably still quite alive...

... Unless we're going to roll for the Character now.

>>22639339
That, and with the ascension of the new family branch to power I say we have enough reason to have low law, and to aspire to uphold MORE LAW. Also, pimpin' and money

>>22639350
In law our might.

How bout that?

>>22639350
Our troops got more experienced, is what I read it as. However, they decreased in number. Otherwise why would law and power be two separate stats?

>>22639370
But that's just admitting that we're weak as fuck right now. And that is far, far, far from what we want to do.

>>22639371
>The story suits the roll as well, after the attempted coup the House may have invested in more loyal troops.

Troops =/= lawkeepers.

>>22639332
Eh, I'd rather have something more material. Besides, a more general aspirational words would be better, I think, if we're going for aspirations.

>>22639371

Just as a head's up I guess; Power is Force Projection (how many boots can you get marching to the enemy, and how good they are.)

Law is your ability to police the realm. You can have a bandit-ridden shithole with a large military, just like you can have a quiet realm, a quiet people with barely any soldiers at all.

Sheriffs =/= Soldiers.

>>22639370
How about "Mightier by the law"

>>22639383
>Troops =/= lawkeepers.

>>22639386
>Sheriffs =/= Soldiers.

Lawmind.

>>22639383
Our motto is gonna be "Pimping ain't easy"

>>22639351
>>22639366
The War of the Usurper was only a few years ago. The founding lord is definitely still alive as it is (if we're going with the failed treachery line).

>>22639019
Ok so heres how I see it

Founding
Josephus Dredd was a knight in service to Stannis, we fought against the main branch of the family who held these lands in the war of the Usurper

2) Dredd did well and the land prospered

>>22639128
3) The main branch of the family attempted to return, there was much fighting and though our forces were bloodied Dredd was ultimately triumphant

4) Dredd kicked some arses with his veteran troops with his bro Stannis and the Greyjoy rebellion

>>22639392
"Keep that pimp hand strong."

>>22639404

"Sturdy as our bitches"
"In pussy we trust"
"Our might our cock"

>>22639387
In Law, We serve

>>22639408
No wait...

In Law, Our Service, Our Deeds

>>22639401
>>22639399

We should pick the House Motto after we roll the stats for our House Founder.

Since you know, some of the things you roll for include life aspirations, virtues, vices and motivations, which would have a *huge* impact on the mood of the House.

Castles cost 40, small castles 30, halls 20, and towers 10.

>Influence 36
We have status 4, and our heir status 3. We're a fairly minor house.

>Land 23
You have a base terrain and add features. In the mountains of the moon, you can get a league of hills for 7 and mountains for 9.
Being coastal costs 3 more. A hamlet costs 10. Having it be grassland costs 1. A road costs 5. Ancient ruins cost 3. Woods cost 3 or 5. Water costs 1 for a stream, 3 for a riverl, 5 for a pond, 7 for a lake. A domain can be an island for 10 points (or you can have two coastal domains making up a bigger island)

>Power 22
Green units cost 1, Trained 3, Veterans 5, Elites 7. Pic shows unit types which increases cost. Mercenaries also cost the same wealth as their training level costs power, and peasants reduce your population by 2.

>Wealth 30
Artisans like blacksmiths cost 10
A Maester costs 10
A Mine costs 10
A Port costs 10

>>22639420
I agree with this guy.

Also, non-law words, you gaylords.

>>22639401
You are sworn to Jon Arryn of the Vale, not Stannis.

It is entirely possible that the founding lord (Josephus Dread, if that wasn't the name you wanted for your own character) squired underneath Stannis or one of his men.

>>22639390
Not necessarily true. For the most part you're right, but your basic garrison function as both lawkeepers and soldiers in times of great threat.

>>22639415

How about "Etched in Stone."

>>22639429
In law we pussy out

>>22639433
Anyway boss, whats next?

>>22639433
Yeah that was my intent, we were Stannis men then here came the war and suddenly all these vacant positions

>>22639429
Screw you, we are the law

>>22639420
I've actually already got the stats for him written up. Getting your our own character written up is going to take long enough as it is.

He's missing a goddamn arm.

>>22639447
Give him a boost in cock then...

>>22639423
Thank you, phew.

>>22639445
But we're not yet, so building our house on the idea that we are is seven shades of retarded.

>>22639390
you know. we could make wandering law-keepers a feature of this house.

you have wandering preachers coverting and shit, why not wandering law-keepers who deal with most minor problems and help bring to attention more serious problems throughout the land.

Maybe that's what we could do with our Power; spend it all on 2 crazy experienced units, and break the units up even further into squads of Lawmen

>>22639467
You, I like you

So... Are we going to roll for the House Founder? We shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves before discovering just what this guy's goals are.

It's kinda silly going all, "WE ARE THE LAW" without seeing if this guy even has Law on the mind.

>>22639423
I'd say we get a castle, if this ends up being a quest it shouldn't take long to get the defence to build a tower, if we need more fortifications

I think we should have mountains and a road in our main domain. That leaves us 9 points to either add on more stuff, or get some grassy hills for our smallfolk to graze livestock.
Definitely take a mine. Maybe get maester and a blacksmith, so we can have superior weapons

>>22639521
You get one background even for each age category, by the way.

>>22639423
Can we have Coastal Mountains with a big Forest, Ruins and a River?

>>22639526

Why are we going mad with the Law if Law might not even be a concern for our guy?

We could roll a founder who's concerned with Knowledge, and his motivation for said knowledge is lust.

Replace ruins and downscale the forest to get a road and I'm all for that.

>>22639526
>-Hard as the hills
>-Sturdy as the hills
I go for one of these two. Preferably the first one, because alliteration is ace.

>New guy here
Since the House is based around one guy, the founder, we should roll him up and get an idea of who he is. If he founded the house, the words should reflect him.

>>22639542
Something with hand involved just to piss our main character everytime he sees his own coat of arms.

>>22639526
The motto of our mounted cavalry will be "As a horse, to be ridden as hard as possible whenever possible."
Their unofficial motto will be "As a whore, to be ridden as hard as possible whenever possible."

>>22639543
>Replace ruins and downscale the forest to get a road and I'm all for that.
Sounds more sensible. I'll agree then.
Although I'm curious if the ruins give any good bonus or opportunity?

>>22639554
>coat of arms.
>coat of arm.
FTFY

>>22639554
So the house motto would be "The MIghty Hand of the LAW"

>>22639531
Only worry there is how much warships cost. Though if we don't have a port, that's not a big worry.

>>22639542

I go for Sturdy as the hills, 2 for that and winning so far.

>>22639570
>Words: The hand is strong

Arms like Stone.

>>22639595
This sounds better

Can our motto be "The hand remains eternal"?

>>22639595
No law, but acceptable

>>22639467
call them judges make them our elite troupes fuck yea

>>22639595
Isn't Stone the name they give bastards in the Vale?

>>22639488
Maybe an Elite Garrison and Elite Personal Guard.

>>22639604
Too long. Any more than five syllables doesn't fit for a motto.

>>22639613
Not even on the coat of arms? Manus Aeternus Est?

>>22639587
"Sturdy as the hills" just feel so generic.

>>22639620
Does Westeros even have Latin?

>>22639587
This, just to get this show on the road


or "The hand that Guides" or somesuch

>>22639620
That sounds awesome just because lathin, you cheeky bastard

>>22639624
Indeed

Also I still say we go for a law based one already mentioned or the good old fashioned

"Hande Hoche"

>>22639611

Exactly, a good motto is one where you can use it in other contexts.

Like a guy jabbing our House Founder about how he should've changed the arms to arm, or someone accusing our House of taking to our motto nicely (lots of Bastards.)

>>22639570
yes yes yes my body is reedy

>>22639635
I think "The hand is eternal" sounds pretty awesome even if it's not in Latin, but apparently it's got too many syllables.

Rolled pretty lovey-dovey with this guy
Role: Leader-Warrior
Status: 4
Background: Fought in King Robert's (Either at the Trident or Storm's End). He led his forces personally at Seaguard, losing his shield arm to an awkward blow from an Ironborn's axe.

Motivation: Love, being only recently raised to the rank of true noble, Lord Dredd empathizes with and has a great fondness for the smallfolk who he lived amongst.

Goal: Good, he wishes to see the people of his land live healthily and in peace.

Virtue: Courageous. Lord Dredd has never been one to shy from risk to his own person, especially for those he loves.

Vice: Prejudiced. Angered at Robert's lacklustre recognition of the efforts of him and his men at the battle of Seaguard, Lord Dredd is tired of having his people dragged into the wars and skirmishes of foreign rulers. He views all foreigners with suspicion, they have only ever brought pain and conflict in their wake.
(Your character may not be from beyond Westeros OR Dorne)

>>22639645

Also remember that our House Motto =/= "House Motto. The Lannister's House Motto is "Hear me Roar!" Yet everyone sees their motto as, "A Lannister always pays their debts."

Arms like Stone for our official motto and one of the Law ones for our "Official Motto" might make sense.

>>22639526
tbh i like >>22639436
the most.

>>22639645
But we are a very small cadet branch (probably from some bastard) that came into power recently, so Arms Like Sotne would fit that

>>22639647
This, we get the hand pun, a reference to strength and something that can be used in context of both lawenforcing and pimpin'.

Robert's the kinda guy that'd also get a huge laugh out of someone with only one arm taking a motto about armS.

"The Hand is Here."

>>22639678
>understated but quietly threatening
I can dig it. Also it gets the hand joke in because that seems like a must.

>>22639671
Also a reference to hand of the king

Motto:
>The Hand is Strong

>>22639695

And at the time of founding Jon Arryn was the Hand, or liege-lord.

Just to let you know, if your House Words focus around the word Stone that's prime material for other nobles to use it as an insult.

You could either not care or embrace it and have bastards everywhere (They're free!).

>>22639706
>Just to let you know, if your House Words focus around the word Stone that's prime material for other nobles to use it as an insult.

Beats having dull words that're only there by technicality.

>>22639658
With only one arm, I propose our motto be

The strong arm of the law

I'm trying to create a coat of arms with a hand involved, brb

>>22639706
I think it kinda fits the theme from >>22638941
and >>22639019

>>22639733
The hand thing can still be used for that, but we also get to act cocky about it, because fuck yeah we lost an arm but our Hand is Strong!

>>22639706
"Loved by smallfolk" A Lot.
Maybe A bastard, before he was a lord. The boy already a man grown at the time of game start? We love him dearly, but we may yet have a trueborn heir (so we work the stannis angle to try and convince his brother to legitamize him)

>>22639754
Hmmm
Works for me, I guess

Definitely get ourselves a castle.

I think we should be in mountains. We don't really need a hamlet, our smallfolk will either live in and around the castle or in individual homesteads. We should have a road. That leaves us 9 points. I'm thinking have some grassy hills nearby, and spend the last point to either get a stream or put grasslands on our mountain domain too.

Land. Mountains will bankrupt us on land, but lets take that, roads and woods? Plus a coast, never want to be too far from the sea, even the seige of dragonstone and the ironborn did not wain our sealegs.

Rolled 5, 5, 1, 4, 4, 3, 5 = 27

>>22639880
Agree with this except the artisan, I prefer a port instead

>>22639923
And fuck that I forgot to take the dice away sorry

>>22639923
We are missing 5 points to get the port

>>22639903
Oh that's right, how old is Lord Dredd? So we know the age of the heir.

So it looks like the three main land types are
>>22639867
>>22639903
and >>22639915
Essentially, do we want mountains+grassy hills+extra stuff (road, streams), mountains + 2 grass plains, or coastal mountains+extra stuff (road, woods, river)

>>22639903
Can an Artisan be something law related? Like a Damn good bountry hunter or a master torturer. Lessens impact from law rolls/adds to it.

>>22639848

Elite Personal Guard, the one Karban had was a ridiculously good investment

>>22639963
A HAND IT HAS TO BE A HAND

>>22639976
This is a given.

>>22639971
Agreed, fucking steel guards.

>>22639963
A hand.
I say white for the colour, silver second choice.

>>22639934
>>22639927
And you'd need to invest in a coastline on one of your lands.

I'd say spend 5 points on Trained Garrison, 11 points on Veteran Guards (apart from high discipline, they start off with good armour and weapons), and either some green archers or two units of green penal legions

>>22639992
I guess they haven't got dry ports there

>>22639948
Dredd is Middle Age, so it is likely his heir (haven't rolled for him yet, if he's not you) is Young Adult or Adolescent (anywhere between 10-18) and was born before the house was even founded. Sort of like Davos Seaworth really, but with a much less shady background.

>>22639992
Invest! Also, unmarried with a bastard son of age, gives us time to find a wife.

Maybe... A Dornish one. (or firey northern wife)

>>22640027
Law first, tits later.

>>22639785

>>22640027
>Maybe... A Dornish one. (or firey northern wife)

This isn't Karban; we don't have the insane "rising star" appeal nor are we geographically situated to make a Dornish wife lucrative.

Odds are we'll have to settle with either a woman from the Vale, a Northwoman, or a Storm Girl.

>>22639963
One hand in the center. It's palm is facing forward. It's a right-hand.

>>22639953
An artisan can provide any ONE of the following:
*All weapons forged in your house count as castle-forged
*+1 Cover benefits from your fortifications
*+1 to House Fortune

You can propose an alternate bonus, but you'd have to justify to me.

>>22640040
>>22639915
>>22639903

What if we just started with Artisan and Mine? We should have some money to work with considering Random events (both good or ill) will probably be occurring, and a Wealth of 0 leaves us with absolutely no wiggle room.

Plus if we get 10+ by the end of the "turn" we can window-shop for Maesters rather then have a pre-built one.

>>22639987
>>22639971

2 things.

1: Mountain Bandits are on your doorstep and an Elite personal guard will be pretty much all of your power.

2: The Elite Guard will be protecting the Lord and, to some extent, the heir if you end up as him.

>>22640075
This sounds very reasonable

>>22640040
Oh, or this, a hilly island with extra stuff (woods somewhere? Maybe a river? Grassland and a stream?)

So, I think we should decide. Inland mountain with nearby hills or plain for grazing, coastal mountain, or hilly island?

>>22640027
I think I have to reiterate. You are NOT Lord Dredd. You may be related to him, possibly even the heir depending on your subsequent rolls, but you are in his service.

For now.

>>22640078
Sounds about right.

>>22640107

So when are we going to roll for our character?

Castle's name is Justice.

>>22640105
I wanna go with coastal mountain.
Coast is good for trade and fishing. Mountain is good for masonry / mining / defense.

River would be a good idea for travelling / water / irrigation.
Roads would be nice to have.
Forest for hunting / so we don't have to import lumber.

Otherwise some grassy plains or hills for fields / grazing would be nice too.

I personally don't really like the island idea or completely inland mountains.

>>22639785

Power
>Elite Personal Guard, 13
>Two Trained Garrison 10 (Station them where the bandits usually raid, which is at the borders, right?)

>>22640046
How about, Mountain tribe turncoat. A fairly important raider of a near large hill tribe, chooses to kneel before Lord One Fist, gold? Protect his family he brought with him? He offers large imsight on the movements, tactics, and the whose who of the hills. A good fighter and scout at that.

>>22640105
>>22640040
Wow. I was about to go against this, but yeah. The rulebook says that you CAN have Islands in the Mountains of Moon.
Sure. Okay.

>>22640121

>>22640168
That's a great idea for a huntsman. But not really an artisan, and I need a solid bonus to keep track of.

I'm definitely against an island. We'd need to have warships to be able to do anything, and those are more expensive than guards.

>>22640177
Have a couple of streams with the land spare?

>>22640168
Also phone posting so sorry for typos

>>22640174
I'm againt an Island. It makes us rather shut-off, and also means we HAVE to rely on expensive navy.

>>22640046

I like the idea that House Dredd is known for superior arms and armor compared to the Mountain Tribes.

>>22640198
>>22640208
For the time being I'm gonna have to agree on this but in the future we're gonna have to open to sea to trade anything, roaming through mountains filled with bandits is probably not gonna be good for any possible trade.

>>22640174
If you choose an Island it'll be one of the Three Sisters, north of the Vale.

>>22640202
>>22640177
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Two streams at +1 each.

Question. What's the benefit of more domains? I guess it's just for flavor, I suppose...

>>22640105

I'm kinda digging the idea that no matter how lost you are, you can always just look on the horizon to find home.

Inland mountain with plains for me.
