The Patternfall War was a mere two years ago. The Black Road has faded, the realms of Shadow have largely settled down to normalcy, and King Random reigns with a growing wisdom and experience. But, in a wave of inexplicable disappearances, almost all the Elder Amberites have vanished without a trace! You, the next generation of princes, have been summoned to Castle Amber to both hold the offices of power and to investigate these disappearances. But are your loyalties to Amber...or yourselves? The princelings of Amber (PCs) are thrust into the spotlight as their parents and uncles have disappeared without a trace. Can they overcome the traditional mistrust of the family and discover the cause of these sinister events? Or will this Interregnum prove as bloody as the last?  Blood Loyalties is an ongoing Play by Post game, run by SisyphusX, on the RPG Crossroads Board. The game is currently full and not seeking any new players at this time. For historical sake, here are the character creation guidelines:
Mechanics: Amber Diceless Theme: Mystery, possibly Intrigue Location: Amber, Shadow Time: 2 Years after Patternfall War Character Creation: Standard as per Core Rulebook Players Needed: Full Posting Frequency: As possible based on responses from players, guaranteed 1/week Character Creation and Submission Guidelines: 100 Points Silent Auction - One Bid Only No rules used from the Shadow Knight supplement All Characters must either have Pattern Imprint or Amber Devotee Bad and Good Stuff top out at -10 and 10, respectively Bonus Points Available: Trump Sketch - 10 Points Character Background - 5 Points per 500 Words, Maximum of 20 Points Narrative of your character fighting off some thugs - 5 Points Extra Bidding Items Available: Admiralty of Amber's Navy Guardianship of the Forest of Arden Mayor of the City of Amber Greyswandir I will accept characters all the way to February 29th, and then announce the final party. This is NOT first-come-first-served; I am attempting to put together the best writers and role-players of the available applicants. Of course, if I only get -five- applicants, you're all in. I might be willing to run with four and the reserved slot, but dropping below that would probably not be doable. I may add to these items, but will not remove or change any item posted. (However, if your character concept is absolutely based on breaking one or more of the guidelines, let me know - but it'll have to be a compelling reason, I warn you now.) After the final party is selected, each player will have a final opportunity to modify their character based on the most current terms. |
