Argonor's CHIVALRY thread.

Yeah, I saw the pulp project, good stuff.
I'm not trying to rush you, don't worry.  I'm just glad this project hasn't been abandoned, but is just resting. It's been an inspiration, as well as a useful point of reference for me.

Oooh, I'll check that viking project out then! Great way to have some family time like that...

Yes, being able to combine gaming and family time is really great (check out the girls bashing the hell out of me in D&D Attack Wing, too, on the blog   )!

We haven't done that much, yet, just created characters, some rudimentary background, and started a small adventure.

I also got some minis to use for it, but as I am trying to finish my first DreadBall project (1 team, 1 ball, and 1 referee) alongside the Pulp project (and recently started in a new job), they are just standing in line atm.

OK, it's been over a year, but I have returned to my plan about making some rules to use instead of Crossed Lances'.

No piccies, yet, but I have assembled a couple of lance-wielding knights and the first playtest was done this past Saturday.

It is my plan, for now, to assemble another 6 knights, and then start painting them; They will not only make it possible to do a small participation jousting tournament, but also provide the first 2 points of 'Hearthguard' for a C&C warband.

I'll start posting more regularly (I hope), and with pics of WIP, as soon as I get stuck in (have a couple of tasks to complete in and around the house this week).

Sorry for the meager info, but I had to squeeze this post in between a lot of real life business.

[Argonor]

So, a piccie of the WIP knights we used for playtesting.

I expect to make a blog post about the testing session this evening or tomorrow, and I'll give due notice here when done!

Some useful stuff, there, especially for the bigger picture of this project. 

I may well get some of those.

I made a little progress lately - having outlined my jousting rules and actually playtested the draft.



I have moved away from using CL as the base, and am now working on a system using dice-pools - but more to follow somewhen later!

[Ray Earle]

That looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing what you've come up with. 

[Modhail]

Yes, what Ray said...

[Argonor]

It is a bit on hold, again, while I struggle to get some Vikings painted (and then I have to prepare for Attic Attack IV), so we shall probably se autumn before I make further progress.

[Argonor]

Now that I've finally found a cavalry basing solution I can (sort of) live with, I may very soon be doing some medieval stuff, again.

[Argonor]

I think, I may just have cracked how to make Tourney Archery work...
