Lord Thalog,
Please click on some of the actions on the web page
and read some of the mail on board. This will tell
you a lot about how to write actions.
Essentially, you can play whatever parts you want
in the Kingdom from lowly peasant(his actions will
usually not have much impact) to King and mage. You
write actions for your society, build forts, trade w/
Aerephal, put down the rebellion, etc. You figure
out your bonuses and minuses and the GM reviews your
actions and the bonuses/minuses. The GM as neutral
party throw dice, add everything up and make up what
the dice mean. Since it is your society, you can
change the definition of what happened but not the
result(how successful or unsuccessful it was). The
fleet failed in its battle. Say w/ a -3, a serious
failure. I might write that the fleet was burned and
sunk. You might change it to the fleet taking some
damage from the battle and seeing the battle turn
against them fled into a storm suffering even worse
consequences.
This is now your society you dictate what happens w/in
its borders. The GM is here to make sure that you are
not writing actions for other player societies, handle
battles between players & societies and to make sure
that your actions have a certain logic and are within
reason. (i.e. - in 2 years your mages don't suddenly
go from making illusions to cracking the world in
half.) Cultural changes and changing determinants and
other facets of your society take time.
No one can write actions for your society w/o your
approval. If you wanted to start a rebellion w/in
another player's borders, they would have to agree to
it. If you wanted to attack them directly that is
different. And if you conquered them, they could
still write actions for the rebel forces w/in if they
wished.
Read the rules and the actions of others and things
may become clearer. This game is a combination of
gaming and storytelling. To make this game most
interesting, you should have some interest in writing
about the various characters in your society to flesh
them out. Here, the fun is in the details. Again,
please read the rules, web site actions and board to
get the flavor on celendra and decide if it for you.
Also turns are typically about 20 days apart, so there
is a bit of down time.
