EMPIRE! CWBG XIII: F5: Document Spirits F10: Summon Balepig, Keeper of Oaths
EMPIRE!
Gods, Kings & Adventurers
A Community World=Building Game by Morph Bark
Now officially celebrating its one-year anniversary!
Current Year: 501-505
IC thread: click!
Dice-Rolling thread: click!
NOTE:
Every so often, the rules have small updates, marked in red. If you discover a hole in the rules, please report it so it can be looked into and taken care of. We try to make the rules as clear, solid and usable as they can be, so they don't need a GM to make rulings too often.
Welcome to EMPIRE! A game of gods, kings and adventurers. In this game, you will play a character, a ruler of a region. And once s/he dies, you will play their heir and so on, continuing on the family legacy. You scheme, discover and conquer your way towards becoming the most-remembered person in history. Respected, loved, feared.
This world will start as a simple one similar to the times of the Middle Ages, but through the actions of players and random events the scope of the world will expand, science marches on and magic may even be introduced. Magic is rare, though monsters may be abound in players’ regions, strange natural resources or the crafts of alchemy may be at their use and supernatural phenomena can take place.
Best beware if you want to ensure your legacy.
If you want to become a player and all regions are currently taken, don't worry. New regions can always be added in during play, and we can put you on the waiting list in the meantime if need be. If Empire interests you, but you don't want to play the game, you can always partake in the Freeform RP threads that are open to everyone, or even in its World-Building threads. See the list at the end of this post.
Be warned! This is primarily a game of world-building, but contains some strategic elements, secretive scheming, and both cooperation and vehement competition between players at times. It's all easy enough to understand once you've read through the rules, and GREAT fun to play in and talk with all your co-world-builders in this thread, but keep in mind that in the game itself, IC, it can be a very bumpy ride. Let us ask questions, help each other, communicate, cooperate, build and have fun OOC, even as we bash each other's brains in IC.
Also, if you have a question, and you can ask a player (about their region or people, for instance), ask them instead of the GM. If you can ask it in the thread, do that instead of via PM. The GM's PM inbox is regularly cleared and thus things can easily get lost, so try keep it to secret stuff and (IC) reactions to stuff you get in your own inbox.
Atlas
SpoilerBelow is the most current map of the known world. Here is a list of regions that has been claimed and by whom. It is slightly outdated, so if you aim to take over a certain region, it is always good to double-check in the main thread (this one) whether it is taken or not. It might even currently be in the process of being taken over by someone else. This is especially good advice to new players, because then you're more aware of the general situation of the area you'll be dropping into.

I'm here third! Also, I'm trying to grow my domain via aggression? Oh no! How horrid! Whatever have I done! It's not like the denouncer works for the largest military and territory on the planet who waged a massive war for a tiny strip of holy land! Oh the humanity (or lack thereof, seeing as humans are a minority in this game)!

As a request from someone who is diving deep into Trades soon, might I put out a heartfelt appeal that everyone check the Fluff Thread and make sure your trades are up to date, please and thank you?
I ask, partly because Snow and I are crazy, and partly because next Sunday, I will have several new regions (probably). Which means that I'll have more things to trade!
Speaking of (potential) new regions, TechnO, if you want to help with writing up regions still, I have a couple things I'd like done once Sunday rolls around and I get a confirmation of region acquisition!SpoilerBladeofObliviom said:

I put all my fixes to my trades in my action post under non-actions, so they should all be fixed next round.

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG XIII: F5: Document Spirits F10: Summon Balepig, Keeper of Oaths
It is indeed me. If anyone has any corrections it would be great if you could link the appropriate actions where the trade/cancellation in question was done, since as I've discovered in the past people often think they've done things that they haven't with respect to trades.
I will also reiterate for the general audience that each round I publish the trade updates on this thread and that's what I use to action the changes to the table, so if you've done any trading in a given round it really is worthwhile having a look at that to make sure your trades are being centrally recorded and correctly, as it's the central records that get used to determine if resource requirements are being met, for both technologies and population. Making corrections on a round-by-round basis is a lot easier for everyone than having to hunt through subactions that are potentially several rounds old.
For Gengy/Snow, I should note that the trades in my region post are quite a way out of date - I probably stopped updating them around the time I took over doing all the trades, I think. I might update them, but don't hold your breath: my trades as I understand them are on the spreadsheet.GITP Blood Bowl Manager Cup

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG XIII: F5: Document Spirits F10: Summon Balepig, Keeper of Oaths
I am currently at work, and work computers prevent viewing of anything in google docs. Is that the most accurate and up to date version of the trade tables?

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG XIII: F5: Document Spirits F10: Summon Balepig, Keeper of Oaths
Quinton, you should probably update the OP to include a link to the trade table, rather than the trade thread. And add in the [Project] thing in front of the name. (Editing the OP will give the option somewhere near the top.)

I've started streaming again.
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
I started my first campaign outside of an abandoned mine, just as soon as a meteor storm from the moon hits.

I copied it from our PMs, so I guess I copied it from an older one. Noticed that it also shouldna have been Tianshi, but Iulia. Got it right on the family tree, at least.

QUESTION!
Can I change an action that had a failed roll?
Also, I don't like the forum dice. I try to pull a power play and then everything goes to heck.Last edited by moossabi; 2015-02-18 at 09:58 PM.
