Social Events

[Ymbert Montgomery]

This is the next big thing up for the rulebook. Feel free to make suggestions. Some of my own observations:

The more events the merrier here, to be quite honest.

Court

This feels clunky and needs a pretty big rewrite.

I'm thinking of having grand balls occur randomly less often, but also have special specific ones that have particular qualifiers for invitation.

Possibly more use of abilities other than just etiquette. Say admin for government meetings. (I know this is likely to be controversial among those of you who have buffed etiquette heavily, but it's already by far the most useful ability at higher social levels).

Reduce the chance of His Majesty hitting on mistresses.  Funny though it is, the chance is too high for those who attend court reguarly. I'm thinking of making it both a) less likely for married women (even his Majesty has some respect for the sanctity of marriage) and b) a seasonal roll (on the grounds that his Majesty isn't likely to get that much more likely to want someone just because he sees them a lot).

Make hunts not shit and boring.

Ambassador events

I've been winging these anyway, but they could do with actually writing up.

Horse Racing

Needs a big rewrite.  I want to make it so results allow for a shock, but feel less arbitary then currently.

Possibly a Director of racing appointment.

Hulluame; can you send me a copy of your proposed breeding rules again please?

Other Events

Suggestions welcome, especially for those targeted at the lower echelons of society who have less of these currently.

Of course:

My own suggestion (after a little research, and taking some of the ideas above):


Any racehorse 4 years (sexual maturity for horses) or older may be dedicated to breeding. This must be announced in May.

Racehorse mares dedicated to breeding become pregnant on 5+ (2d6). If so, they are out of the racing circuit for at least 4 months after giving birth. Along this time, the mare will not roll for improvement, but will lose 1 SR/month (for lack of training) and give no SPs to his owner (nor they do count to the maximum of 2 racehorses)

Birth will occur next (march +1d6 month), and will bring a foal (50% for any gender). A roll of 2-3 on 2d6 will mean there are problems either with the Dam or the foal.

December after the fola reaches 2 years, its SR will be determined, adding 1 per 10 SR Sire and Dam had over 30 at their best moment and +1 additional per win in an official race each of his parents achieved.

(optional): Any racehorse that dies due to the tables will have a possibility that is not really dead, but only incapable to keep racing, but still useful for breeding (a broken leg that can be healed but will not allow it to race, etc.)


NOTE: of course, any roll numbers given here may be altered if you think other will be better.
