Offseason 2 - Personal stories and a few official events
Firmer mechanical framework for offseason 2 will be pasted here once I've cooked it up. Similar to offseason 1 for those familiar with it (basically similar to my official events: various rolls with a sliding scale of success depending on rolls, plus maybe some combat).
Lots of the below will effectively be run simultaneously, even if they occur chronologically in game. Not everyone will be involved in all of the below, freeing some for grander/more time intensive offseason projects.
Tentative Schedule - subject to change, I'll update this as I go along, adding months and moving things (will announce in thread)
1) Daleford resuce/personal offseason if not devoting it to this
2) Ser Jorah’s Ascension to the Kingsguard [some of you will be present at this]
3) Campaign again House Wyl [some PCs will be involved, not all]
4) Official event choice [canon events resolved in-game!]
a. Coryls Velaryon illness
b. Arrest of Ser Vaemond Velaryon [Ser Jorah will be allocated to this]
5) Market town ownership resolution [offseaon's 2's "
House Event"
brings everyone together briefly]
- Plus potentially Ereth Redwain's wedding (and tournament) to work in for those invited!
Link to old offseason stuff to help inspire newer players:

Re: Offseason 2 - Personal stories and a few official events
Here's what we used for offseason 1's non combat challenges to give inspiration. I'll be tweaking this, but it should give people ideas (as should the official events).

- Ability (Speciality) TN 9 - Each DoS = +1 bonus to later roll
- Ability (Speciality) TN 9 - Each DoS = +1 bonus to alter roll
- Ability (Speciality) TN 9 - count DoS
- Ability (Speciality) TN 9 - count DoS
DoS cashed in for
- 2 DoS for 1B in a speciality [can be chosen once]
- 2 DoS for 1 glory [chosen once]
- 2 DoS for 10GD
- 2 DoS to improve an NPC's disposition towards you by one step [status <
=7]
- 2 DoS to contribute 1VP towards gaining a quality
- 1 DoS for 2GD
Apologies to those of you lacking something personalised.

Re: Offseason 2 - Personal stories and a few official events
Should note that the above is the "
basic"
framework.
Loreia, Yoren and I cooked up a truly intricate series of challenges and a combat for their "
Voyage beyond the Wall"
with NPC recruitment, various parties to attempt to please with the treasures gained and significant house power and wealth at risk (and the chance to win more). You should be able to find both of their threads in the forum linked in my post above.

My offseason had a different format as well with a complex intrigue to gain VPs which then were translated into power points for House Marsten, so mechanics involving house resources are possible as well (with input from reader obviously)

Well... There is the finding of the smiths hammer also and subsequent return to the high Septon at old town. I know I've invited a few people to do that.
There is the manderlies/Bolton's.
There is also finding of the eddard peake
Also Finishing of the research /testing of my "
poison "
to develop
So many plans, so few months

Re: Offseason 2 - Personal stories and a few official events
Can we join the scheduled events freely? Will those who don't want to parttake against Wyll get other options?

Short answer: those who don't want to partake will effectively have other options by having more time to devote to offseason events.
Long answer:
These two (well, three as one of them is a choice between two) are indeed open to everyone:
4) Official event choice [canon events resolved in-game!]
a. Coryls Velaryon illness
b. Arrest of Ser Vaemond Velaryon [Ser Jorah will be allocated to this
5) Market town ownership resolution [offseaon's 2's "
House Event"
brings everyone together briefly]
For other events it may be a shorter list (many of you aren't suited to some of the events).
Therefore I suggest longer, more intricate events for those involved in only a few of the events at the top. This makes sense IC too, as if you're not involved in 2 or 3 (and even want to dodge 4-5) you'll have more time to devote to other pursuits.

Hope that suits everyone, nobody should miss out. Direct your character based on what they would do - if Yoren wants another Great Voyage, he can skimp on the other stuff.
Ser Kevans comment is an important note on the flexibility of the format: this is all just a skeleton and I'm normally pretty flexible on what you can plan. Whether you pull it off or not is up to your plans and the dice.
Ereth - I'm looking forward to your tourney too.

Those 2 of the 4 official events I can participate, after all the arrest and healing is not my thing, but the wedding/tournament and warfare stuff with House Wyl is.
