Of course he has.

Voted yes, but would not be shocked if he quit the character before we got the faction launched.

Think this has moved on in a different direction. Doesn't seem like a goer from where we are now? Moved my vote to a no. Any other comments?

Due to IC events, House Braerwinter is currently closed for application. The story is ongoing and this is subject to change, however we will not be accepting any applications until further notice.

Thank you.

Over the past few hours Orc movement has died down significantly in the mountain peaks, the pilgrimage ends as we enter, perhaps, the calm before the storm…

Patrols in the Storm Horns will have observed a rise in Orc activity in recent days. Forces seem to be emerging from the depths of the earth and gathering...

I don’t have particularly high hopes for this myself, but the fact they do a lot of things we like in terms of player involvement and pushing their own story independently means something I feel. Despite the content maybe not being to our tastes.

And while they don’t particularly tick the sort of boxes I personally look for, we as DMs we should try and accommodate all styles. Burton has their niche. Has their crowd.

I’m willing to try with them, use this as a springboard to help them with some direction and purpose. Might it blow up in our faces? Decent chance. But our job should be to nudge and encourage and develop our player base.

Were this to go anywhere, I’d use the Dwarves as a cautionary tale to let them know it can be taken away for inactivity, or should they fumble the opportunity. ”We don’t rent this basement out to just anyone, we can get gold from any Tom, Dick or Harry, if you’re working out of here, you best be working.” etc.

Following on from the conversation yesterday on Discord, currently the Dwarves have access to the Manticore basement as a legacy reward to Spiffy when he was actively pushing things in December.

I am proposing we “change the locks” and give access to Corianne and her budding group of thieves.

She was recently caught, or is suspect at least, in the theft of a noble house in an event Sooth and I ran around the Rogue Creator collecting rare components.

They have a history of trying to involve people, having had multiple factions based around the character with a decent membership.

Yes, they’re awkward to deal with and risk averse, but they try, I think we should be in the business of giving people opportunities and facilitating them to grow and develop.

I’m proposing we take the keys off the dwarves, who aren’t doing anything with it, and taking a chance on Corianne, with a view to her embracing more criminality.

After a time in which the ethical merits of Necromancy has been hotly debated, Sir Malcolm DeSchurr took a defiant stand in the courtroom today, personally executing the famed Necromancer Seren with a deadly blow.

In a hearing in which both Houses Delzuld and Braerwinter were heavily fined for gross negligence, Sir DeSchurr made it clear a zero tolerance policy would be exercised on the animation of the dead.

This is to take place Saturday evening.

I have received a handful of questions to be answered on the day, but please do keep sending them in and I'll look to address them.

The Events function in our Discord channel has been set, same as before. Hopefully there's a good attendance and people get as much out of it as the first Town Hall.

Thank you.
