New Players Look Here! [FAQ & Help Thread]
We want to make your sign-up process as easy as possible so you can join in the fun. Feel free to ask any questions here or to receive help.
Here's the Rules thread, which you'll need to refer to a few times while making your characters.
First thing to do is make a character, or multiple. You'll need to look at the "Traits" section in the rules to make sure you create characters with a legal set of traits. The first post in the Character sign up thread also contains a list of noble houses already signed up, so pick one that is free. The following parts of the rules will help you decide:
- "Land Incomes for Nobles" will give you a list of how much money each noble house gets in taxes from their land.
- "List of High Lordships and Minor Houses" will tell you your houses position in the feudal hierarchy. There are prominent houses that command vassals of their own.
- "Provincial Levy Numbers" will tell you what armies your house commands.
Second thing to do is create a home thread, this is where other characters can visit your own character. You can check out other people's threads for the sort of detail they normally put in their threads. In general they put:
- The income (from the sources I mentioned above)
- The trade routes (see "Trade" in the rules, every region in Westeros creates a certain good that provides a bonus, and every house can also get 2 other resources by asking other houses in Westeros to trade with them)
- The military they command (you have a Levy, from "Provincial Levy Numbers" and can also acquire a semi-professional militia force by buying certain things)
Third is making a Family bank thread, where you'll post your incomes and expenses every week. You can find out how much money you start with looking at "Starting Incomes/Promotion Money" in the rules.
Every week (on Friday) you get your yearly incomes, which are usually:
- Your province tax (see the rules, mentioned above)
- Your trade income (you get 10,000 Dragons for each trade route)
- Your stipend (everyone that isn't the Lord Paramount gets 10,000 Dragons a year as a bonus)
- Any other money you get (gifts, bribes, spoils of war, whatever)
You can look at what you can spend money on in the Bull's Wares (which sells you buildings and equipment) and the Barracks thread (which sells you professional soldiers). In the Bull's Wares are also the cost of some laws you can enact (called Edicts, so for example you can raise a semi-professional militia by buying the "Militias" and/or "Military Infrastructure" laws every week).
I think that's decent enough to get you started on. Ask any questions you may have, we're a helpful bunch!
