Technically, the book says I can negotiate with the Storyteller for more skill points / different Fame if I'm not playing a young buck, but eh, I figured let's just roll with it. I'll have age and injuries keep his skills in line narratively. :)
I apologize friends. It's is going to take short while for me to develop a character here. I come in with a less Arthurian flavor out of the box. BUT be not worried, I am simultaneously watching Prince Valiant episodes (apparently on YouTube) as well as a King Arthur: History and Legend lecture series on Amazon Prime. So...soon I should be a lot more fun ;)
King Arthur: History and Legend is on Prime but part of the Great Courses channel. There's a 7-day free trial.
Prince Valiant is free on YouTube it's like 1980's Master's of the Universe type animation.
There is also a not-too-bad Prince Valiant motion picture from the '50s, if you can find it. And another one from the early '90s that I watched but don't remember much...
We're largely at the wrap up stage of the adventure now.
I can take direction on the witch confrontation. Would you prefer to confront her on screen, as it were, or have it montaged as something that happens in the readers eyes if not solely from the PCs? Based on comic book logic that is.
The earl's trial will be handled narratively, rather than RP the trial.
Up to you. It being a RPG, I am always more comfortable if it is told from the point of view of the characters, but I am curious of what you have in mind with regards to 'readers eyes'.
