Description:

We are still looking for more players on for a wargame about noble
dynasties in a fictional medevial setting.  Based slightly on GW's classic
"Blood Royale", Royal Blood will be about Major Noble Houses rather than
fixed nations and will have the following features:

* Hand moderated and using some common sense.
* Much diplomacy between players, set up marriages to safeguard an
alliance and continue your dynasty
* Some RP elements where you must see how to best use your noble
characters.  Send them to fight with your armies, send Knights to go
"Questing"
* Simple economic engine (only five types of commodity) and simple tax system
* Simple, bloody and expensive warfare system. Royal Blood will have wars
but isnt a normal wargame
* Interact with Minor Houses who control the unoccupied regions of the map
* The map the game will use will be the LOTR Risk board but the game world
IS NOT middle earth.  There wont be any Elves in Mirkwood.
* Two week turnaround (at least at first)
* Friendly atmosphere
* Totally free (tho if you want to send me money I'll accept!)
* Excerise your creativity!  Choose names your palace, nobles and design a
house sigil.  If your as artistic challenged as Iam, leave it to someone
else to do!

Please come along, lurk for a bit if you like.	Read the rules and stuff
and join in as soon as you like.

This game has been heavilly influenced by the "Song of Ice and fire"
series by George R Martin so if your a fan of them, you may find this to
be a game to your tastes.
