Question for y'all:

Have you ever played: A Legionary life.

I love that game and while we are not in the time period of the game it did inspire me…

So we might meet some legionary legend trying to live up to the rep of his family.

Was a fun game but I got so irritated with the RNG I quit playing. But if we make it to a point where we meet a successful run character, more power to you.

    -[X]Yes: He is your uncle, he will be a free man.
    -[X]Academic: You have 25 scribe slaves, who are well versed in Latin and Greek. You have thousands upon thousands of stories that can be transcribed to text, send out to the highest bidder, and even work for certain… individuals in Rome. Unfortunately, with your myths not fitting Rome's official canon (or the Priest's ideas that keep them in power) you may find yourself into a blasted war with the priests.

On the model of your current signatures?

"In Fine, Solum Est Tibi: See your Republic fall, and the great birth of something more. Suffer a thousand deaths from life and love until the four are three, the three are two, and the two are one."

Adapted from our prophecy.

"In Fine, Solum Est Tibi: In which our Roman character was blessed by the dice roll gods, make choses that either ascend us to greatness or fall to cringeness, btw this take place during the eve of the Roman Republic's collapse"

Legionary Life is a blast, one of the few games I have hundred percented before, if you get a great character going by the end you are single handily breaking pike formations and winning the consulship just by how badass you were in your prime.

A little less memey, but I'll take it.

+5 to the rolls this turn.
 
So... Any questions?

Comments?

Wishes for things to happen?

What are the stated nature of Gods anyways? Are they bound by worship and myth?

They gain power from worship, but they are more...

Primordial. ancient and far more then just beings that do not understand hummanity.

But they are not the most powerful beings in the universe.
 
[X]Plan Pirate Hunting

My main draw is the Academic direction for our estate, but boats seems fun, also lets us travel the state more, and likely makes it much more simple to make it back to our estate and Rome proper than joining the legion in the East (not that that is bad). I think having a ship at our command gives us the most flexibility and means our accomplishments will be seen as our own and not potentially taken by someone above us.

Edit: Also, clearly the highest being in this universe is the ALMIGHTY DIE!

One thing I like about this quest so far, is that every vote has been competive. Sure I want the plans I support to win but it's neat seeing things be up in the air for basically every vote so far.
