ah yes, Tizun, but which mythic Arthur do you mean? Mabinogion, Geste, or Morte d'?

Romanticise, not romanise! Romanisation has stopped by this period. I can't see how you are aiming for realism when you ignore the historical sources that are relevant to Logres while bringing in unconnected ones from elsewhere. I don't think there is any way we are going to agree on anything on this thread, so have a nice day, y'all.

Sorry, but I am more interested in adapting historical material and original sources, which pretty much narrows things down to the Mabinogion. If you want to romanticise, that is your choice, as I have said throughout.

No reason at all that they couldn't. I never suggested that. Simply that such historical evidence as there is gives no support to the idea that they did. If you want them to in your Logres, then make it so! As I said earlier, in 'Monty Python ik den holie grailen' "Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." Unfortunately not the case in Logres in the RW. If you want such in your Logres, that is fine.

I don't think you are nitpicking, but I do think you are in great danger of romanticising non-egalitarian social structures. That, however, is your right.

They're the bad guys? Noooooo......

The Romano-British were a blend of the Romanised urban dwellers and large land owners with the less Romanised rural tribal groupings. The urban societies still functioned under Roan-style magistrates and bishoprics, and the rural under kings and warlords. The Anglo-Saxons had their own kings and chiefs who claimed descent from a variety of Biblical or other religious beings (depending on their degree and immediacy of Christianisation!) or historical characters. Significantly different, IMHO, and easily simulated using KAP. However, as I have said from the beginning, Your Logres Will Vary. That is a good thing, not bad, and I wish you well in your campaign.

Whereas my post related to the Romano-British, therefore not feudal. The Romano-British weren't Anglo-Saxons, and would dislike any comparison with them! As I said, YLWV.

Both read widely, and GRRM has certainly acknowledged that his inspiration was the War of the Roses in Britain. I have no idea whether the same is true for Herbert.

Surely naught😁

Your Logres Will Vary, but the Romano-British functioned under local tribal kings and 'strong man' warlords. Despite Python's 'King Arthur and the Holy Grail' there weren't anarcho-syndicalist communes studding the land.

Villeins were tied to a Lord, and whilst having more freedoms that a serf had fewer than a freeman. Slavery was normative on this island until around 1200 due to the Norman (not Arthurian!) influence. In 1086 the institution of freeholder communities being manor holders was frequently due to the distinct minority in which the Norman nobility found themselves. Expediency often triumphs over intent! This would not be normal practice in either Norman England nor Arthurian Logres. It is worth noting that serfdom had disappeared in Normandy by 1100, although it remained in England into the 1600s.

All you can eat salad bar. What's not to love?

If you meet Monrogh on the road, kill him.

I have a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, which makes migraine (which I have also suffered) look mild. It has resurged, and I didn't realise how negatively that post could be (and was) read. 😢

Very sorry, I wasn't intending it to be read that way. Please put it down to a day spent in pain and poor judgement resulting.🤐

It used to be that because they weren't blue any more they used blue paint rather than tattooing. Probably no longer valid.😞

Badly written Tolkien Knock-offs? Sooo much better than the Mostali.....

Both are foul creatures of malign forces

I think there is definite mileage in having an Issaries-worshipping giant who keeps his ass in a sling.... Personally I seldom use anything written after Greg's passing. I'm even suspicious of my own output.😁

Particularly if you are playing an Ulerian...

Or, the struggle is to cleanse a cursed rock on the tula, or to successfully prosecute a lawsuit in front of the tribal chief, or to steal the maguffin from under the nose of Tatius, or to carry the document undetected from Pavis to Seshnela, or to.... Scenarios don't need to be about combat, and climaxes don't need to be about violence and destruction.

Hmmm.. I should point out that my parents weren't wealthy. This was all paid for by the missionary society they worked for! What it is to live in humble Christian simplicity, hey? Oh yeah, I forgot the gardeners... more servants. English Common Law has indeed been the foundation for modern Indian jurisprudence, but that isn't why it was introduced. That was to make matters simpler for the English magistrates who were imposed upon the Indians.
