[CLOSED] Interest check & Recruitment - Prince Valiant

Hi everyone!

Recently I have started to write a short scenario for Prince Valiant RPG, and I have realized it could fit well in pbp game, due its storytelling aspect, and the simple rules system.



The main genre of Prince Valiant RPG is Adventure, which is generally combined with doses of romance, humor, drama, violence, and action.
The setting will be the same as in Harold Foster's comics, medieval at the times of King Arthur. (Around VI century AD, with some anachronisms of later centuries)

The scenario is not yet fully written, but these are the main aspects:

- A powerful Saxon leader is raiding the shores of Logres and defeating Arthur's armies one after other. His latest daring act has been to camp at the mouth of the Thames and lay siege to an important city.
- With King Arthur in the North fighting the savage Picts he is not able to handle this threat, and needs a quick alternative solution. That's when the PCs find themselves involved in a diplomatic mission to negotiate a ceasefire with the Saxons, or some kind of agreement to stop the hostilities.
- The PCs could be in Arthur's service or another important knight of the Round Table, or they could be traveling friends wandering around England and Europe (depending on the type of PC the players decide to become and their possible backgrounds).
- I don't have the scenario finished yet, but I wanted to ask here if there are any interested players before I continue working on the adventure.

I'm looking for 2-3 players, with a medium pace (2-3 messages per week).
There is no need of knowing the rules beforehand.
The game would begin aorund August 4th-6th (next week)

So, if you are interested or have any question please let me know. :)




PRINCE VALIANT, THE STORYTELLING GAME is an exciting multi-player game in which you act out the part of a character in the lawless, romantic medieval world of KING ARTHUR and PRINCE VALIANT.

♦ The game is social and cooperative, not competitive like poker or chess. So the rules are short and simple (about the length of a magazine article).
♦ The players take turns as the STORYTELLER: the group leader/moderator. Most of this book is not rules but suggestions, pictures, and stories, all designed to make the Storyteller's job easy and fun. The Storyteller awards FAME POINTS to the players based on their performances. Fighting dragons, solving mysteries, courting damsels; anything can gain you fame.
♦ So if you like acting out a part, and you like to see your character become more famous as you play, you'll like Prince Valiant, the Storytelling Game!

Brings Hal Foster's great epic to life! Includes over 40 superb Foster illustrations, many unpublished for a generation or more. Extensive Storytelling and Reference sections to help you create your own Prince Valiant stories, including information on every major character from the comic.
A family game suitable for two or more players, ages 12 to adult.
Simple rules and complete explanations. Includes everything you need to start playing immediately, including over a dozen exciting Adventures ready to use.

Interested! I really like this setting and the pacing

Hmmmm. I'd be interested.

Yes, I'm interested! I have the latest edition, I played in a game (on this very site) a few years back, plus I read the Comics every week! ;)

Not expressing interest and just here to say that I ran a Prince Valiant game a year or two ago and it was awesome. Love the setting, and know you'll have have fun with it!

Thanks for the interest, happy to find players for this scenario. I will create the game and recruitment next week.

@Qralloq, thnks a lot :)

Q, I was just thinking of that game and Sir Wolstan of Glengrave, the past-his-prime knight. =)

Good luck with the game, Edmund! There are backups lurking in mead halls if they are needed!

Thanks Harrigan!
Noted in case a back up is needed when I open the recruitment. :)

Please let me know if you are still interested to invite you, or look for other possible players.

Thanks kwll, I've sent you an invite

Should there be a place free on your table, I'd be excited to join as latecomer. ;-)

I'd still be interested, yes.

Hi Kier01, ok I've sent you an invite.

@ Dominic, thanks for the interest. I will wait a couple of days for possible confirmation of Witty_yam or Harrigan, and will let you know.

I would like to begin the game beginning next week.

I'm meant to be a last-ditch stand-in. I'll cede a spot to Dom!

That comes unexpected, Harrigan, and is appreciated a lot - my thanks!

Hi, Witty_jam contacted me yesterday to confirm availability, so I close recruitment.
