[Games] Royal Year Game #2
So, this is a slightly altered version of saphirdufeu's very enjoyable Royal Year Game (don't worry, I've got permission, aha.) If it's too complicated / too simple feel free to change the rules to make it suit you better. Anyway, time period is up to you! However, events assume a vaguely medieval time. You'll need:Dice: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htmI really enjoyed the political elements of the game so I'm bringing them back in full force. If you don't want to play the political parts of the game, you don't have to! Political statistics are Money and Popularity - roll d100 and add three zeroes to the number you roll for your initial treasury, and roll d100 again for your percentage popularity. (i.e. rolls of 85 and 67 would lead to an initial treasury of 85 000, and a popularity rating of 67%).If your popularity falls below 20%, you must roll a die - if you get an odd number, your monarch is deposed and executed, and their eldest child takes over. With each new monarch, roll for their initial popularity. If you get an even number, raise your popularity to 25% and continue the game. If you go broke, you have three choices:1) End the game.
2) If you have children you can choose to betroth one of them to the child of a rich but untitled person in your kingdom. This means disgrace for your family (remove 20% from your popularity) and the child won't be happy, but the wealthy person will be grateful and will reward you financially - roll a d20 and add three zeroes to see how much money they give you.
3) Spontaneously go to war. Decide on a country to attack, and roll a d6. If you are successful (roll 1-3), roll a d20 and add three zeroes to see how much money you get. Your popularity will also increase by 10%. If you are unsuccessful (roll 4-6), you will be deposed and executed and your heir will take over.Your starting couple can be either King & Queen, or Prince & Princess. The specifics of their nationalities (eg in the medieval period Spain was Castile and Aragon) depends on the time frame you've chosen, so select a 'nation' to govern from the options you get when you roll a d8. If you want to choose your own nationality, that's fine too.1: Great Britain, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland
2: France, Belgium
3: Germany, Prussia
4: Italy, Venice, the Holy Roman Empire
5: Spain, Castile, Aragon, Portugal
6: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia
7. Russia, Muscovy, Finland
8: Sweden, Norway, DenmarkName them accordingly - they can have as many or as few names as you like. Here are the titles used in saphirdufeu's original game, though if you're playing a country that wasn't featured, you may have to look it up:King/Queen, König/Königin (Prussia), Kung/Drottning (Sweden), Roi/Reine (France), Rey/Reina (Castile), Rei/Reinha (Portugal), Król/Królowa (Poland), Doge/Dogaressa (Venice)
Prince/Princess, Prince/Princesse (France), Infante/Infanta (Portugal & Castile), Królewicz/Królewna (Poland), Prinz/Prinzessin (Prussia), Principe/Principessa (Venice), Furste/Furstinna (Sweden)
Duke/Duchess, Duc/Duchesse (France), Duca/Duchessa (Venice), Herzog/Herzogin (Prussia), Duque/Duquesa (Portugal, Castile), Hertig/Hertiginna (Sweden), Książę/Księżna (Poland)
Earl/Countess (England), Comte/Comtesse (France), Conde/Condessa (Portugal), Conde/Condesa (Castile), Graf/Gräfin (Prussia), Greve/Grevinna (Sweden), Hrabia/Hrabina (Poland), Conte/Contessa (Venice)Then, roll for their appearances (or choose, if you want to make it more accurate to your nation):Hair colour:
1-3: White / blonde
4-6: Ginger / red
7-9: Light brown / brown
10-12: Dark brown / blackEyes:
1-3: Blue / violet
4-6: Green / grey
7-9: Hazel / light brown
10-12: Dark brown / black————Every year, there is an event. You can roll a d12 for the category of events, or choose your own. 'Pregnancy' means you've had a pregnancy, 'Mechanical' means an event that will alter your family (whether through death, marriage, or the money / popularity statistics), and 'Other' means an event that is just about story-telling. Once some of your children are married, you can choose whether to keep them in the game or delete them (I always do this with my girls that marry - they've been sent off, aha). If you do the former, you can either roll for an event for each mini family, or you can just roll for one event and decide who it applies to.Some of your children will get married through royal engagements, which are covered under events. However, many will not. If your child reaches 18 and is still unmarried, roll a d4 for them specifically each round. If you roll a 1, they are married to either a Count level or a Duke level noble (you decide) from your own country. You can choose the appearances of new people that marry into your family, or roll for them using the system above.Once your characters reach 60, roll a d8 for them specifically each round. If you roll a 1, they have passed away.If your King dies without having fathered a male heir, his eldest daughter will succeed to the throne. If he has no children, there is a revolution. If there is a male heir, he will succeed to the throne no matter his age - if he is below 16, advisors, or the Queen if she is still alive, will temporarily govern for him. Temporary governors have the same popularity as the heir they are governing for.————Pregnancy Events (roll 1 to 4)(If you roll for a pregnancy but there are no married women in your family of child-bearing age, or you don't want a pregnancy, you can get a pet instead.)

1-5: Boy
6-10: Girl
11: Miscarriage
12: MultiplesFor multiples:
1-8: Fraternal twins
9-10: Identical twins
11: Fraternal triplets
12: Identical tripletsIf you have multiples, roll for the gender of each child - odd is a boy, even is a girl. Of course, if they are identical, you will only need to roll once, and the same goes for appearance later down the line.Names: Roll for each first and middle name
1: A or B
2: C or D
3: E or F
4: G or H
5: I or J
6: K or L
7: M or N
8: O, P, or Q
9: R or S
10: T or U
11: V or W
12: X, Y or ZHair:
1-4: Mum’s hair
5-8: Dad’s hair
9: White / blonde
10: Ginger / red
11: Light brown / brown
12: Brown / blackEyes:
1-4: Mum's eyes
5-8: Dad’s eyes
9: Blue / violet
10: Green / grey
11: Hazel / light brown
12: Dark brown / black————Mechanical Events (roll 5 to 8)1: You go to war with a neighbouring country. Roll d6 - 1-4 you fail, 5-6 you succeed. If you succeed, add 15 000 to your treasury and 15% to your popularity - if you lose, subtract 5 000 and 5%. You may choose the country or roll for it.
2: The ruler of another country dies, leaving behind only an infant heir. You can try to take over the country by force. If you choose to, roll a die - an even number means you win, an odd number means you lose. If you win, add 5 000 to your treasury, and 10% to your popularity. If you lose, subtract 5 000 from your treasury, and 10% from your popularity. You may choose the country or roll for it.
3. An opportunity for a royal marriage is presented - if you accept, your eldest unmarried child will be engaged (if under 16) or married (if over 16) to the Prince or Princess of another country. You may choose the country or roll for it.
4: The ruler of a country with whom you have a royal marriage dies. If the marriage has produced children, the eldest child succeeds to the throne. If you do not have a royal marriage, an offer is made for one. You may choose the country or roll for it.
5: A famine strikes your country - your popularity falls by 10%.
6: An adult member of your family is assassinated.
7: Your country is experiencing a period of economic success - your popularity rises by 15%.
8: Angry peasants surround your palace, making demands. If your popularity is below 40%, roll a die - if you roll an odd number, they storm in and kill your monarch, passing the throne on to their eldest child. If your roll an even number, you have two choices - either appease them monetarily by spending 10 000 on reforms, or let your popularity fall by 10%.
9: Your palace has largely fallen into disrepair - it will cost 20 000 to repair it.
10: One of your children falls ill and dies.
11: A person in your family has either fallen pregnant by, or impregnated, a commoner. If they are unmarried, you may choose to force them to marry them, but you do not have to. If they are married, you can choose to abandon the child or adopt it into your family.
12: A member of the family wishes to leave to join the military, a nunnery, a monastery, the theatre, or to marry a commoner. If you choose to let them, they leave the family. If you do not, they stay in the family, but this will affect your relationship with them.

————Other Events (roll 9 to 12)1: One of the children falls very ill, but lives.
2: Two people in the family have an argument.
3: Someone discovers a talent or calling in life.
4: The royal family go on a tour of their territory.
5: A member of a married couple is unfaithful.
6. Two people in the family become closer.
7. An important advisor dies and must be replaced.
8. War is narrowly averted through diplomacy.
9. The King appoints several new noblemen.
10: Some political reforms are carried out.
11: A group of rebels are caught and killed.
12. There is an unsuccessful attempt on an adult's life.————Well, that's it! Feel free to alter the rules however you like, have fun, and thanks again saphirdufeu :)*"That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys."

He is a kind and compassionate young man, like his mother, but one that let his heart rule over his head. Knowing this, the former Roi and Reine were cautious as to pick a fine wife for him in advance. As such, they chose the poised and elegant Duchesse Onorina. The new Reine is very refined and slightly snobbish, and Roi Espan is hesitant when around her - plus, there are still rumors about him illicitly meeting with a commoner named Joane.

Reina Sence Alejandra, 26 years old [black hair, light brown eyes]Rey Didacus has been murdered. His eldest son, Ximeno, grieves, but his Ximeno's wife Sence tells him that he must carry on with life. The people need a ruler. And a better one than Rey Didacus, for he was quite nasty. He scammed people out of their money, didn't listen to the concerns of the countrymen, and was did as much wrong as he could get away with. Castile's treasury has been drained by his frivolous spending. Ximeno is nothing like his father. A generous, sensitive, thoughtful soul, Ximeno yearns to do what his father could not. But to be king, he needed a queen. Sence is quite different from her husband. A out-spoken, clever, sometimes greedy soul, she seeks to make Castile the most powerful it had ever been. It was an arranged marriage, and not always a peaceful one. But even if the two cannot be the best rulers, they will be better than Didacus. 1231

King Augustine Albert Ellis - 25 years old, light brown hair, blue eyes
Queen Christabel Maud - 24 years old, blonde hair, grey eyesAfter the tragic death of King Albert II, his eldest son, Augustine, is crowned King of England. We are told the old king died of sickness, but there are rumors. Some say he was killed by a power-hungry rival. Some say it was suicide. Some say it was Augustine himself who did the deed, but most agree that this is nonsense. The new King is met by mostly acceptance, but he is a peculiar ruler. Too quiet, most agree. Perhaps it might not be a bad thing, however. The kingdom's ears are quite sore of Albert's lengthy, unintelligible speeches by now. Whatever the matter, Albert is dead as a doornail and his quiet son Augustine is King now. Christabel, the new King's bride, was the youngest daughter of Earl James Nigel, a man most know of by his wealth. She is as quiet as her husband, and terribly shy. For Augustine, this is no matter. The new King and Queen are very much in love. And if they are not ready to rule the kingdom, they have each other. 1586

FINALLY FINISHED - 15 roundsI rolled a 1 and decided I wanted to start out with Scotland and Wales, set in relatively medieval times and more toward the late medieval. I’m not going to worry too much about historical accuracy with the titles since things were in flux back then. I might try to incorporate political things, but we’ll see if I keep it going . ;) Also, I chose to roll each year from year 0 to 5, then rolled every 5 years until the end. And, if you’re interested, I used random renamer for spouse names (except the original king and queen) until I hit on one that I fancied enough.

Treasury: 95,000
Popularity: 55%[23] King Talfryn ap Macsen
[20] Queen Ealasaid (Countess of Mar)
Talfryn has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has just succeeded his father, King Macsen, who was quite popular and made the kingdom prosperous. The nation’s grief, and the fact that the young king has just married the daughter of a Scottish nobleman, means his reign is beginning with a tenuous popularity level. His new queen Ealasaid (formerly the Countess of Mar) is lovely, however, and has brown hair and grey eyes. YEAR 1

Talfryn and Ealasaid got to their duty of populating the royal family straightaway and have proved fertile. They had fraternal twins! The first child was a girl, but the second twin was male so they have a proper heir on their first go. What joy! Princess Llewella has dark brown hair like her father and hazel eyes. Prince Rhydderch inherited his maternal grandfather’s red hair (hence his name’s meaning) and his mother’s grey eyes. They were going to use Scottish middle names, but given their subjects’ current uncertainty with the new couple and direction of the nation, they decided to make them firmly Welsh for now.

Grand Duke and Duchess of Muscovy - wflOkay, let's get crackin'!1499H [26]: Faddei Ermolai Arkhipovich Riurik, Grand Duke of Muscovy, "Черный Принц / Chernyy Prints" (Black Prince)
W [18]: Grand Duchess Emilia Iosifovna of Muscovy (formerly Princess Kriemhild Emilie Kunigunde Ardennes-Metz of the Holy Roman Empire), "Kreema"; red hair, violet eyesTreasury: 96,000 dengiPopularity: 46%The Grand Duke of Muscovy, Arkhip Ermolaievich of House Riurik, has died unexpectedly, leaving his only son Faddei without a regent as his Grand Duchess had died many years before. It is true that Faddei is a man, but he is a young man who has never ruled on his own, and to the people he has always seemed lanky, effete. Weak. Not like his father, who had the valor of ten crusading knights and amassed great wealth and respect for Muscovy. Faddei is different: he is more scholarly and adept at mercantile efforts. His dark hair and hazel eyes, inherited from his mother Ustinya, also contrasted heavily with his father's angelic features. It may take him time to win the people over.Luckily, a betrothal had already been in the works for years: Princess Kriemhild of House Metz, from Vienna, just turned 18 and reached her majority - thus she was now eligible to wed. So shortly after Faddei's coronation, young Kreema set off for Moscow, a bundle of nerves the whole trip. She had never even met Faddei, and her Russian needed improvement, how could the people not hate her?It was a different story, however, when she alighted from her coach. Her blazing red hair, said to be inherited from her Danish grandmother, caught the eye of everyone in the crowd - as did the princess' violet eyes, which seemed unnatural in their hue. News spread like wildfire that the Grand Duke's intended was the greatest beauty in all the land... but Kreema worried. This was only her physical appearance. The people didn't know her at all.The wedding was a lavish affair to herald future security and prosperity for the Grand Duchy. The bride's new official title was "Grand Duchess Emilia," as that was the least "foreign" of her names. Though with her charisma she did get the nickname "Kreema" to catch on at court. However, Grand Duke Faddei still found himself a recipient of the side-eye.

This all happened just a month after his marriage to Austrian Archduchess Marie-Amelie, daughter of the Austrian Emperor Joseph III. The two of them have been promised to each other since Marie-Amélie has been born and rumor has it that she did everything in her power to change her father's mind and call the engagement off, but nothing helped and she had to marry Louis and move to France to start her new life at the French court.Year 1652

Her husband, Karalis Raimonds, has written to Kung Josef's advisors to ask that she be made a ward of the Swedish court - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has stationed troops near Latvia's borders, and the rulers of the small country want to make sure their first-born daughter is safe whilst they and their sons prepare for war. She has come to the court, and though she is not taking on a full Swedish name as she will hopefully be able to return to her homeland one day, the people of Sweden have affectionately nicknamed her Sonia av Lettland. Josef does not know that his ever-efficient mother had been communicating with the Latvian royalty for years, making arrangements for exchange of wards if either of the two vulnerable, pacifistic nations were to come under threat. Josef thinks Sonia is sweet, but has been spending most of his recent time with his advisors, as next year he will begin to make his own governing decisions.

Johannes Philipp Andreas, König in Preußen [26 - red hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Amalia Sophia, Königin in Preußen [24 - blonde hair, brown eyes]The great King Philipp I died peacefully in 1625, leaving the Kingdom of Prussia in the capable hands of his eldest son, Johannes - at least, that's the story the people are told. However, the circumstances surrounding Philipp's death are murky, and Johannes is clearly unprepared for leadership; he had only been the eldest son for three months when his father died, following the tragic death of his older brother in a hunting accident. He is a kind man, deeply religious, but with none of the steel required for effective kingship. This is where Alexandra comes in. The new Queen is young, but intelligent and determined, and her husband relies on her for advice in all matters of state. There are some who resent the position of the Queen, who think she has too much power, but Johannes will hear no criticism of his wife, of whom he thinks the world. Despite his weak nature, Johannes is a popular king, a reprieve from the ceaseless cruelty and suspicion of his father.Year 1 - 1627

In an attempt to distract himself from the reality of his kingship, Johannes took up the study of religious texts - he finds that it speaks to him, and he fervently wishes that he could be free from the trappings of his royal duties to pursue a life of study and religion. He says as much to Alexandra - she laughs at him, and tells him not to be ridiculous.Year 2 - 1628

King Fernando of Spain passed away suddenly - he was only 23, and left behind only his infant daughter, Maria. Alexandra believes it would be the perfect time to invade. Johannes, however, overrules: always the pacifist, he believes they must give the Infanta Maria a chance to establish her rule. Alexandra rolls her eyes and comments that the Infanta is not even a year old, but knows she cannot sway her husband's will on this matter.
