Expedition rules

[lechat]

OOC  Just wondering if I am reading the rules correctly.  IF GC is accepted to go on a mission, as part of an expedition. does that means he is subject to all the normal mission rolls, then extra ones at the end for death and treasure?  Wont make a difference to what he's applied for, he'll still march with the RFG if they go on campaign first for his honour, and support his friends expedition if that fell through, Im just wondering if he is being particularly suicidal with the extra death roll.

OOC:

As the rules stand, you roll for storms and the normal mission rolls, but nothing else. You don't get a double death roll! Note that only one pirate and storm roll happens; unlike missions they aren't monthly.

Ummmm, i see the death roll for west africa is a 9.  Whats the safest way to couch GC's orders - is it still bravery to 12, or is it more complicated?

It's actually easier than that. With your rank, your Death Roll is 10. Unless planning poltroonery (not a good idea!) you can just sit back and hopefully wait for some good results.

Sorry for all the last minute questions.  But can GC still apply for a promotion to Abbe every month since that would improve his death roll?  Or does the promotion roll mean no, in case he gets promoted twice on the mission.

Also, for posts rather than ranks.  Is he exempt from applying for army chaplain in September (if he wangles a promotion) or scholar in october if he does take the mission?

I must say, just when i thought this game couldn't get deeper, its really awesome to be at he stage when it suddenly becomes so that decisions have consequences, up till now it was sort of just get enough SP to rise in SL and bait Jason.
O've has loads of questions and conundrums that don't merit being here because they aren't rules - is there a discord or the like for my much lower level queries than the experts, or are you happy for me to witter on here from time to time Sam, and try to break rules like I did earlier with the horses?

I think that one's a no. I agree it's unclear, so I'm applying common sense. And you aren't going to be given a position attached to a Church when you're overseas! (Well, apart from in a West African church and I assume GC isn't planning to go abroad permanently).

Same applies for positions. The way I say it is that these are largely French based positions, like Government/Civil positions. So a similar principle applies as soldiers at the campaign.

I must say, just when i thought this game couldn't get deeper, its really awesome to be at he stage when it suddenly becomes so that decisions have consequences, up till now it was sort of just get enough SP to rise in SL and bait Jason.

Glad you're enjoying it!

Keep them on here. Thing with a Discord is it becomes very difficult to find things in the future without having an unwieldy number of pins.
