infrastructure: 2#1d6 3 5 population and power

: 1d6 2 - law

basically a house created by the founder invading another area and killing lots of people in the process. A brief period of rebuilding before a lengthy period of collapse and madness and misfortune before the current ruler has managed to stabilise the problems
Area is beset with bandit problems, mostly being blamed on the Dorne and not really in a state to influence the area, being regarded generally as a problem area.

work got a bit heavy, I'll sort my rolling tomorrow aka technically today just now.

[Kolbrandr]

Okay, rolls!

Sooo...

Defense: 16+2+1+1: 20

Influence: 29-5+4+5+1: 34

Lands: 33+10: 43

Law: 14-5-1+6: 14

Population: 25-4:21

Wealth: 25

Power: 25+10+6+4: 45

Age: 6, so, raised up during the Blackfyre Rebellion or just before it I suppose http://orokos.com/roll/418865

Events: 3 http://orokos.com/roll/418866

Event details: infrastructure, villain, victory. Well at least we ended on a high note even if the founding was boring as eff. http://orokos.com/roll/418867

Infrastructure: http://orokos.com/roll/418869 6 and 1, I'm going to put the 6 into law because yeesh, and the 1 into defense

villain: +4 influence, -1 law, -4 population, +6 power http://orokos.com/roll/418870

victory: +2 defense, +5 influence, +4 power http://orokos.com/roll/418871

And then the 1d6 player preference whatevers: a 1, which I will put into defense because hooray we can have a hall now. http://orokos.com/roll/418872

So hm, probably been a house for 10 some odd years, and also either the immediately preceding lord or current one is some kind of unspeakable villain (prooobably immediately preceding just for ease of not starting off the game with my lead character as some kind of monstrosity by default). I will noodle this and flesh out an actual writeup and such.

[Corrigon]

your house is generally doing an awful lot better than mine though :P

[squadfather40]

Ehhh....just ally with my house. We have the power to back our play....lol

[Corrigon]

what area is your house is?

[Kolbrandr]

your house is generally doing an awful lot better than mine though :P

Only by comparison, and certainly nowhere as well as the other one ;p It's like we're on an ascending (or descending) scale!

Eh, I enjoy coming up with fleshed out backstories for roll results all the same, just takes a little bit to put together.

[Corrigon]

yeah, I've come up with something which explains all the bad events and certainly gives a reason to interact with my house depending on what side of the equation you are

[squadfather40]

what area is your house is?

Stormlands

Follow up questions, comments:

So, if we're making one character per 10 points of influence, do we still bother with that spending chunks of influence for heirs thing?

Annd is their any chance that when making the house head they can either get their house's status or at least head of house gratis? My view on campaigns is that if everyone is making a main character who are all required to buy the same things, those things are probably best not charged for, as they more become the same tax everyone is paying on their character, as it were.
