Shield revision incorporated, on the Larkwood page. Also has a new background style with a little more structure. Let me know what you think. There is also a map of our area now.
Just one thing, Ad: In the bit about lessons, could you change “Alarion often struggled” for “Alarion was an indifferent student”? He’s not actually stupid, after all, he just doesn’t care all that much.
Ok, Micka’s background is in a state that I’m happy with. Dave, could you check it to make sure I haven’t put anything in you’re unhappy with. I’m going away soon and won’t have internet piped into my brain for a while so hopefully I’ll see other people’s characters when I return. If anyone wants to change a few details while I’m away, do so and we’ll discuss them when I’m back.
I’d say that if the shields are being used as is, the third one looks best. If we were to add a flight of birds or whatever to the shield, I’d say we should use the first one. I think with any more adornments the third shield might end up looking too busy.
Gah, damn thing ate my post. Anyway, yeah, as Ad said, it’ll be a few more months still til the game actually gets off the ground. I’m using this for some prep work, though, to whet your appetite til then _ And knowing my players, it should be entertaining when we start playing. Great to see more Song of Ice and Fire fans here, anyway.
This game isn’t due to really start until August/September time, so a blog isn’t likely until then. In the meantime Dave seems set on biulding the up the background for important charaters and the rest of us will start to do the same for our charaters in the near future (or when we can be asred, whichever comes last). Thank you (and the other guy I don’t know) for the vote of confidence and I hope you enjoy what you read.
Just a quick note from another fan of Mr Martin’s work to tell you that your campaign looks enticingly promising : I look forward to read your adventure’s log.
Keep up the good work !

Bloody cats, all of them are attention freaks !
I’ve started putting some pictures up for NPC, please fell free to take them down if anyone thinks they don’t fit, or fit someone else better. Lord Owin is a little young I think, and did someone have an image for Lady Mayra?
Hi,
Just been browsing the internet in search of more images of the hall Dave posted a picture of. Well, here they are:
http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/Image_Library/section.php/1653/1
Unfortunately I haven’t found a floor-plan yet, but I did discover what I think is a plan of the construction phases of the hall. For those who are interested. Please stop me if I’m going a little overboard here…
Gah, Combat Defense should have +shield bonus -armour penalty on the end there, but my bracketing seems to have been taken as an HTML command or the like.

Put a bit of extra stuff about Alarion’s birth family.
I have uploaded Martyn’s heraldry to his character sheet.
I like the second one.
Personal shield for Alarion is up on his page. Also, there is an extremely cool map of the whole of Westeros that I found online, you can see it here
Also two possible shields for the Sorbannon family on Alarion’s page. Comments welcome.

Photoshop.
Also I agree with Pete about the shields.
Johannes, what did you use to make the shields? It occurs to me that I get a coat of arms that I should design.
I think I still prefer the one I went with before. On the Shield front.
That fine, yeah. Thanks!
It now reads: “While Alarion was an indifferent student and often impatient,” is this ok?
More shields are up now on the Larkwood page. They have bird v’s. Look at them and comment please.

I’m in complete agreement with Pete.

grumble grumble I think you get the idea anyway
Except using a symbol that doesn’t result in creating a bizarrely formatted post….

I like the third one. The individual leaves look cool. I was considering 7 birds in “V” formation Over the tree. Kinda like this:
T ^
There are now three shield designs on the Larkwood page. They only differ in type of tree. Comment here which one you like best!
Put my stats up and added a fair bit of description on the wiki page for Alarion, if anyone wants to look.
Just updated Micka, more to follow, and I have to go out so I’ll fix the bits that don’t work later.
Ok, what are the words and what consequences? Did I miss this?
Just so long as you realise what the consequences are.
Well, I can’t guarantee a total embargo…
Just remember that we said there would be consequences for use of certain words.
Just dropping a line here to say that I’ve added some details to Alyn’s bio, if anyone’ wants to have a look. _

Gah, Combat Defense should have +shield bonus -armour penalty on the end there, but my bracketing seems to have been taken as an HTML command or the like.
Perception: 4xAwareness (You have Keen Senses, so for you it’s [4xAwareness]+Cunning)
Intrigue Defense: Awareness+Cunning+Status
Composure: 3xWill
Combat Defense: Agility+Ahletics+Awareness+shield bonus
AR (Armour Rating): By armour
Health: 3xEndurance
Since I can’t use the Forum and it would be handy for people to know, how do you work out your characters:
Perception Intrigue Defense Composure Combat Defense AR (and what is AR?) and Health
