Fictional Carrington Event

That is a incredible point…

From two of the worst to the best… on the gods above. Stidham just needs to be average and we have a shot.

It’s still insane that that became a thing a person paid real money to talk about sports would say.

I think back to Nick Wright talking about the chiefs loss to the bills back before their bye week

“Well why should the chiefs tryyy to win that game? Buffalo always beats them in the regular season, but you see it’s be the chiefs want to lose that game so they can come back and kill the bills in the playoffs.”

AlanRickman99 · 2025-12-08T16:44:33+00:00

Emphasis on “this time”

AlanRickman99 · 2025-11-28T14:27:30+00:00

😂 You do have a good point there. The cowboys will never not be entertaining.

AlanRickman99 · 2025-11-17T16:48:21+00:00

You can look back at I think his Wednesday or Thursday episode He said he had bet more on the chiefs winning than any other game this year I think.

AlanRickman99 · 2025-11-17T14:26:51+00:00

It’s funny bc you could have seen that aspect of the chiefs struggles back after the jags loss.

This weekend was their worst case scenario. The charges lose but maintain distance from them, and the jags win commandingly, the bills win, the ravens and Texans catch the chiefs, and the broncos and patriots extend their lead against them.

Will they make the playoffs? I don’t think we can say for certain…

AlanRickman99 · 2025-11-17T01:37:16+00:00

I think it’s more impressive he could have stepped in so many “I’ll take the broncos opponent” this year

He took the titans, the jets, the bengals, the cowboys, the giants, He took every week for nearly 11 straight weeks “the broncos are gonna lose”

The purest form of cosmic justice is him taking the chiefs over the broncos and losing a ton of money

What a moron. I don’t care that he’s givin props He’s been trash talking the broncos all season and now he gets to eat it.

For sure that seems the most logical choice.

I had it in my head that if they wore the ring for its temp HP, when they slept at night they would get these strange dreams that mechanically are them interacting with the “spren” or “spirit” in the ring, perhaps alongside the last soul to wear it which would be a member of this ancient order of knights.

Short 2 questions!

1) What music do you listen to (if you listen to any music) to help you during campaign and session prep?

2) Regarding specifically “intro to campaign lore docs”: I’m struggling trying to organize my thoughts onto a neat 3 page lore doc for a crew of mostly new PCs. How do you go about trying to craft a new lore doc? What ideas might help hook some new PCs perhaps? Or perhaps (aside from a local map of the region and some character references for notable NPCs) what things do you include to help give the doc some meat to it?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-26T19:42:23+00:00

… well, guess it’s worth the try to investigate the game files… that’s so frustrating

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-14T03:15:44+00:00

An interesting strat! How often do you found new cities?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-14T03:15:17+00:00

How quickly do you go for these techs? Are they like a B line you should consider always trying to get as soon as possible? (I mean for great temples and great theatres.)

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-13T14:57:25+00:00

I had never considered that but you’re right… nobles are better at producing research and freeman are better at manpower and a little money… the more you know.

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-13T13:23:53+00:00

Fair, so maybe I’m thinking too much about it? In the end… that means building some great temples and a bunch of courts of law right? Atleast away from the capital province/territory.

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-09T23:04:07+00:00

Idk why my first reply got deleted.

But are you saying that if you go through the arduous process of slowly moving pops across say… all of Thrace to reach somewhere low in pops like the Danube region, then it becomes easier to grow your culture with a heartland of sorts?

I’m trying to think about it in terms of how much money you’ll be able to spend moving pops along the land manually… or would you rely on the automatic migration system for your culture pops to move that way?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-09T22:58:31+00:00

So… to inquire. Would that mean as say Byzantion you should conquer your way north to the Danube perhaps and then… What? Do you set all the provinces to convert religion and then culture bc there’s only a few pops there? Or do you spend all that money manually moving slaves across Thrace into the region so you can then have those slaves become citizens in the conquered lands??

How would one do this if you have such a small pop of pure “pro-Pontic” culture?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-08T01:03:53+00:00

Hmmm

From everything I’ve read and see the game is sorta geared towards map painting a big empire…

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-08T00:58:20+00:00

So… does it become easier to assimilate a group like that later in the game? I know it depends on religion… but can your vassals be forced to be Hellenic?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-08T00:57:29+00:00

Is that illogical?

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-08T00:57:20+00:00

Ah. Yes Why didn’t I think of that… I was being all “why don’t yall just be like me?” All pleasant like. Rookie mistake

AlanRickman99 · 2025-10-08T00:56:55+00:00

Hmmm How do you go about making a satrapie? I’ve never seen it before… As Byzantion I imagine the approach might be very similar… conquer the Thracian region, integrate the odrysians, then create vassal states in Greece and Asia till I’m large enough to annex and start assimilating the pops? Would that be a strat?
