Hopefully that leaves enough time and flexibility for various other meetings - give me a shout if you guys think that eats in to your roleplay/negotiation too much.

Doesn't cut into MY day in the slightest.

Life is always about choices.

I'm sure you won't get up to any trouble while everyone else is occupied.

You can't possibly have written that with a straight face.

But Nathaniel looks so angelic!

At least Theomore has the good grace to looks troublesome.

Further - moving in, attacking and moving out again is silly and I'm probably going to make it provoke passive attacks (so you can do this if you've got a high defence or strong armour, otherwise it'll let your opponents get lots of free hits).

Can you even pull that without resorting to fatigue or DP for extra actions?

My initial post I though we started close enough to strike, but edited once notice the error and just moved in to attack.

Nope.

What about moving away if your first and only other action in the round is an attack? I.e. does disengaging in general provoke attacks?

It does indeed take DP, fatigue, or need to be spread out over multiple rounds. It hurts my sense of verisimilitude if it can be done without exposing yourself to an attack.

Ser Jon - Disengaging should generally provoke an attack if you're engaged, yes. That's the way we played it in Southron ambitions and I'm borrowing it.

That angelic face hides a sexual tyrannosaurus. He'll be dry as a ship's biscuit by evensong.

Theomore's Avatar is Cullen Rutherford, whom I have always thought was adorable.

Although I am not sure Theomore would consider 'adorable' as a compliment.

He's especially adorable in Inquisition. <

And even more so when he's loosing the Wicked Grace!

My sister was more of a Blackwall girl, but I'll hold off on commenting further to avoid spoilers!

Oh my yes!

I did all the romances except Sera because she annoyed me too much. I loved all of them, though I think Iron Bull's gets special points for being so bloody progressive. Only time I've ever seen a romance option in a game check for consent. Massive thumbs up.

True. A fine moment and executed well.

Wait, what? That means that a fight will basically always consist of "
walk up and hit each other"
till someone's down. It hands the reigns of the fight to people wearing the heaviest armor and biggest shield, because anyone trying to walk away from them is just going to get smacked. Sounds excessive to me.

Why would it expose yourself to attack? You take an action to tactically move about the battlefield.

The disengage houserule from SA was something entirely different if memory serves. You could still be engaged and move away. What you're proposing is to hurt those who invest in greater mobility.

My memory is different - I think this is functionally the same? As ever, happy to kick the idea around, but if so let's take it to a separate thread.

Really? Was that check exclusive to the Bull?

He's the only one I noticed doing it explicitly onscreen.

Have you determined the results of the NC-pairings?

These three, anyway:

Ser Florian Greysteel v Ser Bryndon Hightower
Ser Erryk Cargyll v Ser Jon Roxton
Ser Warrick Wheaton v Lord Owen Fossoway

May be relevant for evening/night slots.

Our winners!
Bryndon
Jon
Warrick

Next round of the joust &
pairings tomorrow, hopefully still on D6 but some risk of a move to D7. What do people think?

I can at least do the draw tomorrow, there will just be some "
x or Y"
v "
Z"
pairings.

Day 6 would keep us in schedule, but we could say final 8 is mostly now 4 PC vs. 4 NPC, then last 4, then the final, so I believe is rather quick if you find the way to manage so many jousts in 1 day

I'll probably have thread lagover from D6 either way.

This week has been rather tiresome.
