I’m starting up a Burning Wheel game. I have two players already and am looking for one or two more. See below for info, and post here or DM me if interested. Me: Mid-30s. BIPOC- and LGBTQ-friendly. Generally friendly, in fact. Gaming for ~15 years. Playing and GMing Burning Wheel for ~3 years. Reliable scheduler. I like using Lines and Veils, although I’m happy to use other safety tools if desired. Voice and audio preferred. When: The game is Wednesday, 700 to 1030 or 1100, EST. Big picture: An old feud between two noble families threatens to tear the kingdom apart. Situation: It is two hundred years after the kingdom was forged, and the realm is preparing for a great celebration in the capitol. Noble families and throngs of commoners are descending on that city in anticipation of feasts, hunts, tourneys, mummeries, and days of court audiences. Along with splendid gifts to honor the king and engender favor among the masses, two of the most puissant and venerable families bring a feud older than the kingdom itself, and their accompanying knights, men-at-arms, attendants, and subtler agents, all extensions of the wills of the families’ heads. Confined within the city, engaging in martial competitions, and vying for time with the king and council, the two families are all but guaranteed to clash with both words and swords. The capitol will shudder and groan under the pressure, and with it, maybe, the kingdom. Notes: I like a good intrigue, but I don’t want to play a game of Varys-es and Littlefingers. I am hoping for knights, squires, tourneys, feasts, hunts, etc. Politics, sure, but hopefully in service to a story driven more by emotion (love, passion, jealousy, vengeance, grief, fear, etc.) than by power grabs and resource hoarding. It won’t be possible to eschew those things completely, but I hope they’ll be ancillary to the story rather than the backbone. More of Guy Gavriel Kay, less of George Martin. World: I am saving the world building for Session 0 and during play, but I’m using Arthurian legend/times and Westeros as touchstones. There is an organized religion that has, in the last centuries, supplanted a pagan tradition, although pagan druids still exist and sometimes advise the king and other nobles.
