Oh!

A picture of a red dragon standing between a group of smallfolk and the army of demons and monsters while robert and the lannisters are crying monster while pointing at the dragon while a pair of silver haired infants lay broken and dead at his feet.

The caption being "Who is the Monster here?"

Shielding you from threats imagined?
Good one!
 
Only issue I see with this is that it might be a bit too provocative against the Faith of the Seven. We're trying to do the whole truce thing with them at the moment and this wouldn't help that effort very much.
Maybe some but the one about the golden shields would work well.
 
With the anti-faith poster I would suggest waiting on releasing them till after next month. If next month negotiations go well and we get what we want then using them is unnecessary. However we can simply add them to the collection of propaganda being released the month after if negotiations fail.
 
@Crake, here's what I've got for the pro-Imperium propaganda centered on our Imperial Institutions. Feel free to adapt and alter as needed.

[] Make pro-Imperium propaganda along the lines of recruitment for the the imperial institutions—Legion, the Scholarum, the Inquisition, the Imperial Administration, the Diplomatic Corpse, etc. These will come in the form of illustrated posters captioned by truespeech.
-[] For the Inquisition the posters will be along the lines of security and trust, focusing mainly on the need for citizens to cooperate and share intel for the good of the empire. (the Inquisition recruits on their own, that shouldn't be messed with). The themes of this poster will focus on the various threats that the Inquisition regularly squares off against -- mainly fiends, but also Deep Ones.
-[] For the Legion the posters will focus on the need citizens to cooperate, but also on recruitment. These will be images of glory and righteousness, of liberation and justice. Your basic army recruitment stuff, but embellished as much as we can. They'll illustrate how the Legion defends the Imperium, brings law to godforsaken cities, frees whatever slaves they come across, etc. It's a rallying cry to join in, to see the nearest recruiter, etc. //OOC: Fortunately there are literally thousands of posters to adapt for this part.
-[] For the Scholarum again the need to cooperate, but this one is more an advertisement that they're a legal and certified means of magical expertise, be it for crafting or other things. This could be split in two different approaches—the first being like some university's advertisement, detailing the courses and the resources (geared towards those who are more interested in learning and research), and the second being a call to duty for all eligible mages to rise to serve (this would mirror the Legion posters in a way, with an obviously arcane bent to it).
-[] For the Diplomatic Corps & the Imperial Administration the general idea is to portray how vital their jobs are and what lives they touch. For the latter, for example, focus on the imperial works in progress, how the materials are being shipped there, the roads being built to connect the Imperium in full, etc. "One Empire". It basically writes itself.
 
A large man, grotesquely fat sitting upon a fake throne made of blades in a jesters outfit while tywin lannister looms overhead with a puppet rack and strings attached to the jester king's limbs.

The caption being "Upon their strings he dances"
 
We need a Viserys/Planetos version of this for the top of the broadsheet.

Unfortunately, we know that Robert isn't grotesquely obese now. Some of that has to do with how we're earlier in the timeline, but most of the blame is our own. Robert has been training to get back in fighting form now that he thinks he has an enemy to deal with.
 
You're a level 20 divine caster, and you're saying you can't make him immortal?
Or are you simply admitting defeat just because your enemies include multiple eldritch abominations and Elder Evils?
:p

The enemy is the Emperor's own capability and desire for self preservation.

Unless you make him the equivalent of a Dollar Store Dorian Gray nobody is going to enjoy the lifelong escort mission.
 
Just finished reading the quest so far and it's been a blast!

I've never seen a dnd game played quite like this, you guys probably have a plan for everything 😀.
 
A man in ill fitted armor with the gut protruding magnificently from any opening holding a tankard in one hand, a hammer from the wrong end in the other, while he thrusts into an obvious whore and a crown hangs lopsided on his head. Behind him golden haired men are beating small folk, stealing gold, and generally doing cruel and unjust things while the robert parody indulges in his desires.

It is captioned "Behold your King"

It is meant to be a parody and an exaggeration. Most small folk never see their king after all. Skewing their perceptions seems smart

This is going to be good. I like that the message has unique regional elements, because from a commoner's perceptive that will be much more important.

Create a series of politically charged caricatures: Varied by region.
-[] 1. The Warlock of the West
Description: The picture shows Tywin Lannister sitting on the Rock. In his hands is a small person in robes, standing for a mage, to which he wants to affix a collar with chain. Nearby stands a huge cauldron with many mages chained to it and reluctantly tending to it. In it bubbles a repulsive liquid, with bones and skulls being seen inside, and it splashes goop all over the Westerlands, with a large glop landing square on Lannisport.
Caption:
"They will do as they are told."
Locations: Lannisport, Kayce (trade harbor), Crakehall (trading city on the Ocean Road)
-[] 2. Thirst
Description: Tywin Lannister and Robert Baratheon loom over the Red Mountains, looking down at Dorne. Both of them carry a goblet from which Robert drinks, while Tywin holds his one down to Gregor Clegane, who stands there and lets the blood running from a peasants severed head drip into the goblet.

Caption: "We will get our fill!"
Locations: Sunspear, Hellholt, Godsgrace
-[] 3. Stolen Legacies
Description: Looming like a giant, his head sticking out of a lion's mouth, the head mounted upon the shoulders of a Golden Shield knight, one giant brazen hand lifts the top of Dragonstone's castle and reaches down and up to pull away a fistful of tabards, tapestries and keepsakes marked with Targaryen heraldry and regalia. Dragon Eggs fall between fat fingers and smash themselves on top of Duskendale, King's Landing and Storm's End lain upon a tableau like a map, tiny figures scurrying around and chased by stampeding stags and prowling lions.

Caption: "The legacy of a thief."
Locations: King's Landing, Duskendale, Dragonstone, Driftmark
-[] 4. Important Matters
Description: Robert Baratheon sits in a tavern hall, which is richly festooned in hunting trophies and with various frippery. He is busy ogling a whore that fills his wine cup. Behind his back, Cersei sits on the Iron Throne and torments various people with sorcery and laughing at them, while a few of the people in the hall are dragged away by demonic figures reaching out of the shadows. Beneath them all, there is a scene of starving peasants knifing each other in the streets.

Caption: "What could be more important then this?"
Locations: Kings Landing, Duskendale, Dragonstone, Driftmark
-[] 5. The Great Rulers
Description: A large picture of the whole Riverlands, with three giants standing on it, their steps having left deep craters in it. One can only see the legs of the giants, but they are clearly marked by the house sigils of Tully, Lannister and the Crowned Stag. Meanwhile, the peasants and lords look upward in fear for where the giants will step next.

Caption: "The dance of the high lords."
Locations: Riverrung, Saltpans, Maidenpool, Harrenhall, Seaguard
-[] 6. Absent

Caption: "Everyone for himself."
Locations: The Eyrie, Gulltown
-[] 7. No Help Coming
Description: A depiction of the North, including the Wall. There is a massive breach in the Wall and the Night's Watch rushes to fill it in, aided by what is clearly Legionnaires under the Targ banner, and is trying desperately to close it off, while directly ahead of it a forest with clawed hands and slavering jaws peers southwards. To the South itself, Jon Arryn, Hoster Tully, Tywin Lannister and Robert Baratheon stand opposite of Ned Stark. Robert clutches a Targ banner and is clearly yelling at Ned.

Caption: "How dare you to let my enemies in?"
Locations: Winterfell, White Harbor
-[] 8. Dragging You Down
Description: A depiction of various smallfolk interrupted from seemingly idyllic work and ordinary life, dragged screaming into the sea by tentacles and enormous webbed hands, while distinctive figures in their heraldry gather around a witch's pyre to burn a small girl, with tears in her eyes, a golden-haired witch holding back their mother nearby.

-[] "An Exile's Journey, Part One" In addition to the mentioned free informational document section, we will produce a serialized re-telling of our adventures, putting our utter genius with words and public address to use.
--[] "Greetings, gentlefolk of Westeros. My name is Viserys Targaryen, though I am known by many others. If you would give me but a moment of your time, I would like to tell you a story, a story of a young boy and his infant sister, cast out into the world to fend for themselves."
---[] In short, explain how we were forced into exile by Robert Baratheon, carried to safety in far off Braavos by the loyal Ser Willem Darry in order to avoid the horrific fate which befell our kinfolk when King's Landing fell to Lannister treachery.
----[] We grew up in Braavos, untroubled by the events of the world as children so often are. Eventually Ser Darry passed and magic returned to the world. We struggled, faced hardships and monsters, but grew strong. We gathered friends, loyal companions all, and we helped to defend Braavos from inhuman threats which now plague so much of the world.
-----[] And then we had to leave our comfortable home in Braavos, not for any wrongdoing on our part, but due to threats levied against the city that had welcomed us. Jon Arryn, the Hand of the Usurper, threatened the well being of Braavos, to block its traders from all Westerosi ports. Rather than force our friend the Sealord to decide whether to defy the Usurper and watch his city wither, or cast us out of our home, we voluntarily departed, going once more into exile.
------[] All was not lost, however, and soon we set foot upon unfriendly shores, the pirate's haven of Torturer's Deep. Through force of arms and powerful magic, the island was cleansed of the cutthroats infesting it, so that a new city could rise, one founded on principles we learned growing up in Braavos. We had a new mission, to rid the Narrow Sea and Essos of slavery.
-------[] Our successes came quickly, wiping slavers from the Narrow Sea that had previously gone unopposed for centuries. That success attracted the Usurper's fearful gaze once more, and for a third time he sought to chase us from our home, this time with a grand fleet, one bought and paid for with Lannister gold. This time we chose to make a stand.

If we do add this maybe add something showing the Old Gods fighting against the Demons and Devils while the faithful try to cut them down. This will give the idea that the Old Gods are protectors, but this will go towards antagonizing the Seven so maybe we should emphasis the idea that the Septons and Septas are unknowing pawns. Still bad but it gives the idea that they aren't trying to actively kill their flocks, and are just being deceived.

Another idea.


A red faced septon in a westeros city screaming about demons and evil while demons wearing masks of his clergy stand behind him smiling wickedly.

The caption being "From poisoned council hate springs"

(Meant to be a warning to the 7 that they are being manipulated and to their followers)


A picture of a bunch of smallfolk being dragged into the sea by tentacled monsters screaming for help while members of the golden shields burn a small girl with tears in her eyes.

The caption "Shielding you from yhe threats you imagine"
A group of men before a serene faced heart tree having their wounds heal in the deep while a priest of the seven beats down a blind crippled begger with a fanatical rage on his face.

A smallfolk family looks between the two in thought.

The caption being "Which should they choose?"
Oh!

A picture of a red dragon standing between a group of smallfolk and the army of demons and monsters while robert and the lannisters are crying monster while pointing at the dragon while a pair of silver haired infants lay broken and dead at his feet.

The caption being "Who is the Monster here?"


Good one!
A large man, grotesquely fat sitting upon a fake throne made of blades in a jesters outfit while tywin lannister looms overhead with a puppet rack and strings attached to the jester king's limbs.

The caption being "Upon their strings he dances"
A man in ill fitted armor with the gut protruding magnificently from any opening holding a tankard in one hand, a hammer from the wrong end in the other, while he thrusts into an obvious whore and a crown hangs lopsided on his head. Behind him golden haired men are beating small folk, stealing gold, and generally doing cruel and unjust things while the robert parody indulges in his desires.

It is captioned "Behold your King"

Nex one looks like one of mine moddified. Not sure how i feel about it since it doesnt seem much like the original which was more about the golden shields ignoring the real threats while focusing on imagined ones.

@Crake, I think this one by @lockingbane should be used along the coastal communities of Westeros that aren't being targeted by other messages;

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, on the contrary it is a good way to weaken the faith in the hierarchy in the priesthood. It's just that the way you described it was rather vague, by adding the Old Gods fighting Demons and Devils while being chopped down we show that their hatred is actively harmful. While also subtly planting the idea that the Old Gods are a force for protection.
 
I'd like to add a poster of "Red Leaves, Red Wings" at some point, firmly cementing the idea that the Weirwood Heart Trees are Imperial Trees. The people are already saying it, may as well slap it on a poster.

In all seriousness it makes for a great poster, it's just a tad premature. I'd wait until we get R'hllor into the fold, and we get started on hammering together an official pantheon.
 
-[] 8. Dragging You Down
Description: A depiction of various smallfolk interrupted from seemingly idyllic work and ordinary life, dragged screaming into the sea by tentacles and enormous webbed hands, begging for help to packs of Golden Shields who butcher them with a smile, while distinctive figures in their heraldry gather around a witch's pyre to burn a small girl, with tears in her eyes, a golden-haired witch holding back their mother while some dead relatives are piled nearby.
Caption:
"Get back into line."
Locations: Coastal Communities, North, East, South and West


@Goldfish?

@Goldfish?
Damn, yeah. That'll work.

It will resonate really well in those places close to communities the Golden Shields wiped out for some sort of Deep One collusion.
