The Slaughtered Lamb - 0fficial SPQR Thermopolium

[Khryses]

Any suggestions for possible game turn events are welcome!

Since we'll be playing with a Western and Eastern Empire I will need twice as many events as I did in SPQR

Keep in mind that we'll be playing in the last decennium of the 4th century AD.

Any problems facing the Empires (religious, social, economic) in between 350 and 450 are welcome...don't make the tasks too easy for the Emperors.



Thanks,

Greets,

Outstanding, and great to see

Will put my oar in tonight/tomorrow, once I clear the strategic updates for Overland

[Khryses]

A few suggested event seeds...

Rise of Christianity
Resurgence of the Classic Gods
Edict of Toleration
(Even more) Civil War
Praetorian Guard (not literally, but soldiers choosing the new Emperor)
Britannia under attack
Frankish Invasion
Visigoths
Ostrogoths
Gepids
Alamanni
Vandals
HUNS! (Scourge of God)
Magnus Maximus
Increasing levels of Foederati
Personal allegiances
Landowners' private armies (refusing to pay tax)
Diocletian's Reforms (inherited careers)
Doctrinal Strife (Schisms and heresy)
Collapse of the large slave-worked farms
Baccudae
Localisation of the Limitanei
Plague? More the 3rd and 6th Centuries, but could have happened...

Rome is not usually my cup of tea, per se, but if you have a role for me, and are taking new players, I will volunteer.

Rome? Did someone say Rome? Rome IS My cup of tea. I am a Rome fanatic. Lead me on say the word. I can be quite uhm scandalous

Perfect. Rome shall leave tea to those heathens from the Far East.

No tea! Learn to enjoy wine flavored with plumbum and served in lead vessels.

You have non-alcoholic wine???

The blood of barbarian children. The blood of barbarian adults are alcoholic.

Is Attila the Hun open for business?

Everybody will have an opportunity to play SPQR II. Either as a full-timer or a side-character later on in the game...this time, we will start with 14 full-time players.
What I do need - something that is essential for the succes of the project -is that the full-time players will be actively involved most of the time. Of course this is also something that they can expect from the GM.

How many nights have I not stayed up from dusk till dawn the last time? What a 'rush' it was...and I hope it will be so yet again.

Be advised that the game could take up to 9 months to play...

I still check the Diplomacy thread waiting for some action. Is that active enough?

If it ends up like the Diplomacy game...I'll resign immediately!
I don't know what happened there

[Khryses]

I just missed the end of SPQR last time around - definitely not going to this time... even if I do have to organize a stand-in for a certain 3-week period early next year
