In the 5.2 rulebook there's a discussion of this by Greg in which he concludes that Dames already has a given meaning which is definitely not that of a knight, and so the correct title for a female Knight is also "Sir".

>>>rec.arts.literature.arthur >>>11.26.1996??23:47pm >>*horselover69* ok guys I have a question. Was Sir Dalen actually a member of the poet knights? I always thought he was but my friend says that he wasn’t part of the starting line-up so he doesn’t count.

The Medbourne Mosaic Now that the demonic knight who held Medbourne has been vanquished, the new owner might wish to make a feature of the Roman mosaic pavement. This was originally part of a Roman villa on the site.

Hunting, Saxons, and a near-death experience 511 was of the most eventful and tumultuous years in recent memory. The quiet calm of Winter was a much needed time of rest and reflection. There was much to discuss at the Spring Court of 512.

I've been taking a look at the Book of the Estate and trying to work out what the rules-as-intended are for Advowsons and Endowments. My understanding is as follows. (I'm going to use an Abbey for the example, but it should still hold for Priories.) Section: Abbey, p86 Build an Abbey which can hold 20 monks for £54 Endow a minimum of £9 worth of land to support those 20 monks Any extra endowment above that £9 comes back to me every year; so let's endow an extra £6 of land for easy sums So I now have an Abbey which brings in £6/year Section: Advowson, p87 A lord who founds an Abbey "often" retains the right to the Advowson. An Advowson requires building a Church or Abbey... ...but Advowsons can be bought and sold Purchase price for an Advowson is 20x the Endowment. I can see two possible ways to read this: I build the Abbey, and I get an Advowson through building it, for a total Glory of 15/year and no extra cost. If, on the other hand, someone else had built the Abbey then I could (assuming the GM or player who built it allows) buy the Advowson for a one-off payment of £300, and collect the glory each year for it. The original builder would keep the benefits of the Abbey itself, and would lose the benefits attached to the Advowson. The Advowson does *not* come as part of the cost of building the Abbey, and I would need to pay for it separately (who to?) I think it's the former, but was wondering if anyone else had any Advowson experiences, and how they'd interpreted it.

The Adventure of Machine Learning Sir Bryn, Sir Pellandres, and Sir Gilbert are three brave and noble knights. Write a story about them having an adventure in a mysterious and magical forest. -- OK, technically this is not an Actual Play, but it meets my requirements for an experience roll on the Wiki. 🙂

Ah! I was wondering how the reading of 7-20 as a critical success happened. @Brown's correct - it would be much clearer if it was written as a So rather than an Also. 🙂 Or if it instead was written "If Yvane's modified roll is 20 or above."

My players are still trying to get their heads round criticals and skills > 20. From what I've read of it KAP6 seems to make it more obvious by splitting off the extra - so a skill of 33 is now written as 20 (+13). Because the skill is 20, that's what you need to crit (and it replaces the fumble that ordinarily lives at 20). You can also now see at a glance what you need to add to the roll - but it can't take the number above 20 (because that's the maximum skill you can have). And any modified roll of 20 for a Knight with a skill of 20 is a crit. Knight A: A roll of 2 + 13 = 15. Under the skill of 20, not equal or above it. A normal success. Knight B: A roll of 16 (+0). It's under their skill of 17, so a normal success. 16 > 15 so Knight B hits and Knight A gets to use his shield to defend.

Also, @SaxBasilisk: if the maps are new interpretations (ie your player made them themselves rather than making changes to the maps in the books), then I think you can publish them under item 7 of the fan-use policy as long as you put a disclaimer up and don't charge for them? "[Y]ou may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps (as long as these are original interpretations and not simple copies)." - https://www.chaosium.com/fan-material-policy/ I don't think it's a goer if it's just eg shading the counties the Saxons have taken over on top of the original maps in pencil though (my own current solution to this problem).

Winter Phase document removed from public display and a Fan Policy disclaimer has been added to the page for the other two.

With no definitive responses one way or another I'm going to split the difference and say that all sorts of useful information - including my battle, entourage, and (soon) manor trackers can be found in The Liminal Blade Wiki PDF downloads page at (removed). No doubt a mod can remove that link if it's felt inappropriate. Would be interested in thoughts on some of the house rules in particular (eg I've simplified Entourage Death Tracking).

The March of History

Doctor Who Season 16 Blu-Ray special features (excerpt) Mary: Of course, it being a location shoot, naturally we all piled into the hotel bar at the end of the day. I was chatting to various people, but Tom spent most of the time off in a huddle with Beatrix Lehmann.

Just One Knight He was a knight in shining armour. She was a lowly kitchen maid.

I was getting bored of turning between half a dozen different books every time the Winter Phase came round, so I've made a document for myself and my players pulling all of the relevant rules from all of the supplements I have into one document for the Winter Phase to make everyone's lives a little easier. What are the rules of the forum on posting it here? I think it might be helpful (as a starting point to put together your own version, if nothing else) but obviously it uses parts of the rules and their supplements for its basis, so might be inappropriate.

Sadly I don't think there is such a thing. Agree that it would be a help.
