I figure there would be adventurous choices along the way. We have a long way to Marienburg.

What would you prefer? Us writing about how we leave Middenheim towards Marienburg?

Oh, of course. But I have to think of things to happen!

Don't worry - I'll handle that. Soon!

Updated the thread regarding an inn available to buy for Klaus, and Julian's business. Also Admund's house.

If anyone else wants to buy anything, say so now.

I think Mortus will be happy enough once she has left Middenhiem.   I was considering having her invest in a wagon herself [lets not forget she still has two servants] but I don't think she would do that and she has plenty of money at the moment.

I thought we agreed to pretend the servants didn't exist.

We agreed that they weren't able to do anything.   Now they don't exist, well they do exist but they aren't with her anymore.   I'll even take them off her charachter sheet :)

I had to work out which settlements are meant to be on the road, and how far it was to each! Not that easy. But done now.

To do: think of things to happen along the way.


Oh, and I think 'The Stonebridge' is a nice name for Klaus's inn. It not only trades off Julian's name, but also evokes the four bridges that lead up to the city.

That was my thinking...regarding the Stone Bridge...

 :::cheers:::
Middenheim...Dwarves...famous party member. So all the nationalistic Elf haters can gather at the inn and plot how to sink Ulthuan.

How is the party splitting up the cost of buying the wagons etc?

Stonebridge is a good name!

Yikes! I need to post! Ulrun beat me to the information post tree.

I feel bad for making Admund go to Marienburg.

Wow. Each map I've looked up is very different. We're going to get lost and end up in Ostland.

It's about the journey lads, not about the destination.

Don't bother looking at any maps other than ones I post! You might not be looking at ones I'm using, and so will be wrong.

I'm using the WFRP v1 maps with some extra details from the Mad Alfred ones. I'm not using any maps from later WFRPs or post 3rd ed WFB.


Also, it's evening, Admund!

Okay! The only ones I was looking at were the ones you posted and the Mad Alfred ones like this one. I knew that some of those were edited. Was using them more for scope.

Can Ulrun wear a big grey hat, so I can pretend he's Gandalf?




Edit - I meant dinner!

I think Mad Alfred's ones are a sort of compromise between 1st and 2nd ed WFRP, with some additions of his own. So I'm only using some features from his maps. I quite want to use some of his adventures though, so don't read those! EDIT: maybe not actually.

Ulrun can make himself look like Gandalf with an illusion if he wants. Empire Grey Wizards are Gandalf cosplayers.


Also: there's no need to stay in this village for long, in terms of posting. If no one wants to do anything other than stay the night, we can move on.

I've actually never seen Mad Alfred's adventures. Only his maps and gazetteers.

I'm not sure if I like them or not. A lot of them have very specific location requirements.

Bah, just take ideas that you like and make your own thing.

I'm fine with taking our time and doing interesting things on the way to Marienburg. I think being out in the wilderness is an exciting change of pace from being in the big city, and would be sad to just blow through it to Marienburg. Not saying we need to role play, but more like there can be exciting things to do that are very different than city adventures.

There can be plenty of things to roll dice on as we traverse the empire.

You did say in this thread what you'd spend it on (I forget what) but you never actually did.


Karl: don't worry, I'm not intending to speed all the way to Marienburg! After being in a city so long it will be nice to do something different.


Fandir: the village inn is called The Graf's Beard. The Crossed Lances (the one in the bounty notice) is a roadside inn further along the road. Sorry, I should have made that clearer!
