If you're missing an offseason challenge mechanics thread and need something, please use this.

Combat/tournaments &
intrigues can be worked in too if desired. This is just a basic framework.

- 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

- Please use four different abilities
- Remember that only the DoS from the final two rolls count.

DoS cashed in for:

- 2 DoS for 1B in a speciality [can be chosen once - this should be linked to the abilities used and your offseason activities]
- 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
- X DoS for VP towards a quality (DoS required for VP dependent on negotiation with narrator)

Spent destiny points refresh at the end of Story 2, consistent with Story 1 and for the avoidance of doubt.

One destiny point refreshes between now and the start of Story 3. A bit tougher than last time, given that there are more events, but things are getting fiercer and your characters are more skilled now.

[Theomore Tullison]

Just putting it out here now that my downtime plans are beginning to take proper form:

Theo's marriage will likely take place at 126/3 for those who doesn't want to miss that. Then there is another event that likely will come out of Theo's downtime scheming which we maybe can put tentatively at 126/4? (Must be after Dorne, should be before the Velaryon stuff), and the Coldbrooks definitely do not want to miss that one. I imagine that quite a few PC's will have an interest in being around for that one, too.

Neither thing being confirmed, yet, though.

On Saturday I will post rules for one of the listed offseason events.

If you want your glory investments and house fortunes to take effect for this event (as house statistics will influence your success or failure) please do so by Friday evening uk time.

If you're late you can still take part and roll fortunes/invest glory, but your updated stats won't be of assistance.

[Kevan Lyras]

Can you tell us which event, so we know until which month we have to roll house fortunes?

Do we get all our DP back after story 2 or just one?

[Ser Jorah Holt]

read that as all DP back when story 2 ends and if you use any during the off season, only one will refresh if you use more

This is correct. All back after story 2 (in line with core rules). Thanks Ser.

I hope you are permissive with 'evening'... all my summary notes are on my home computer and I will not likely make it back there until 9 or 10 UK time... but I'll definitely have it up tonight.

[Ereth Redwain]

So we can use our final House stats from the off-season 2 then?

Or updated to that date?

Just making sure I got it right.

Should be set, I'll check things tomorrow.

Various questions on using NPCs in the Sick Sea Snake/Velaryon arrest events.

- Will allow NPCs to be used but:

1) it uses up a PC's event slots (you accompany them) - remember you can only be involved in one of these two events and the NPC must make all the appropriate event rolls.
2) they can only assist a PC.

Hopefully strikes a balance between letting people use their NPCs and keeping the spotlight on PCs.

A gentle reminder to everyone - offseason activities should be linked to the abilities used.

People like Lord Marsten who choose the narratively appropriate abilities (even where they're weak) are encouraged.

Those who just choose their four highest dice pools are not a source of fun and entertainment, even more so when they then nominate an unrelated activity for their experience.

Unsurprisingly, these experience requests are turned down.

Announcement to all: Theo and Loreia are pairing up in the Velaryon Arrests thread.

To kill/betray each other? To start an unlikely romance? :;

Looking forward to it.

Most events should now be resolved with the exception of the Coldbrook and Bartheld tourneys.
Those require more than easy calls or summation, but are too low of a priority to deal with at the moment.
