I totally agree with the legacy point you put it very well! In my last campaign my main players were all squires who had become knights after losing their last character (i had a lot of one-on-one games) so trauma and the legacies to live up to played huge parts in their character stories!

Yes, I agree. That’s definitely there. I was also really moved by seeing the way the game incorporates the idea of aging, and legacy. The idea that time changes us, and no one lives forever. I think it focuses players on heroic deeds, more than endless progress and acquisition.

This is very cool i wish i had more to add but i just love it

I read it as being about the irony of Knights as a concept. On one hand, they are honorable nobles held to a moral code. (Seeking the myths, protecting the realm) On the other, they are brutes who do extreme violence to uphold feudal rule (the combat and realm-ruling rules). Curious what you think!

This would look really cool in the modern horizons 3 sketch frame! The texture on the body is really good i can feel how patchy and gross it would be just by looking at it

A recent read-through made me realise Richard is telling this story in a way that absolves him and his favourites (Francis, Camilla) of alot of wrongdoing whilst pinning blame on Charles, Henry, Bunny and even Julian. Seems pretty convenient for people who did murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

My read is that Theo's oddness is that he's forced by trauma to become an adult too early, so he can't think like a teenage boy. Richard is doing a talented mr ripley in the hope that in the long run it'll just become normal for him.

I love both those books and in retrospect that is maybe why i connected so much with the main characters!

Whatever happened to "ooh you can't disagree with the courts you damn activists don't you care about the rule of law???"
Will the courts pull a starmer on this i wonder (tacking right to appease the crackpots, then just staying right wing) at least we know its working very well for him

Love the bit about the OSR being more of a conversation rather than cultivating an audience and the final point about making the players the protags/prime movers is also a big part of my enjoyment of the game. It's the empowerment of being able to affect change if only in a fictional space!
