(Blood & Honor) War: First Draft
For those who are interested, this is what the first draft of the War mechanic looks like for Blood & Honor (my new samurai RPG using the Houses of the Blooded rules).

I'll be posting a video shortly (probably tomorrow) about my thought processes behind it. We'll be testing it on Friday.

Enjoy!

Warfare is an important part of samurai tragedy. In nearly every tale, characters are either at war, go to war or suffer the scars of it. The system in this chapter provides you with a way to present warfare in a way that is narrative rather than tactical. Yes, tactics can come into play, but more importantly, it allows the players and Narrator to tell the story of the conflict. There is also an element of arbitrariness in the system—which players can modify—allowing for a sense of real danger and helplessness in the midst of epic struggles.

THE WAR RANK
Your Daimyo does not live in a vacuum. He has neighbors. Living on a tiny island with very few resources, each neighbor represents an opportunity for expansion. His lands are rich and well-developed. You could take them and make them your own. Of course, your neighbor is thinking the very same thing about your Daimyo's lands.

War is inevitable. It will happen. It's only a matter of time.

To represent this fact, each of your neighbors has a War Rank representing how close you are to outright warfare with that neighbor. The lower the rank, the further you are from War. The higher the rank, the closer you get to War.

You only have a War Rank with neighbors you meet and interact with during the campaign. If you have no contact with samurai from the Bizen Province, you have no War Rank with that Daimyo.

ESCALATION
Once you have established contact with samurai from another Province, you automatically receive a War Rank 1 with that Province. Every Season, that War Rank increases by 1 unless you take direct actions to stop it from going up. You can also take actions to decrease the War Rank between you and another Province... but the samurai from the other Province may do the same—both increasing and decreasing the War Rank.

During your game, when you interact with samurai from other Provinces, your actions may (or may not) increase the War Rank with that Province. Listed below are all the ways you can increase and decrease the War Rank with another Province.

Duels
A duel with a samurai from another Province can either increase or decrease your War Rank with that Province.

If the samurai face off in a Friendly Duel (see Violence), the War Rank decreases by one.

If the samurai face off in a Deadly Duel (again, see Violence), the War Rank increases by the Giri Rank of the samurai who died.

Failed Espionage Actions
If a Province sends a Spy into another Province and fails in his mission, the War Rank between the two Provinces increases by one.

Gifts
If you send a Gift to another Province, the War Rank between the two Provinces decreases by a rank equal to the rank of the Gift.

Gifts can include Resources. If you send Resources, decrease the War Rank equal to the number of Resources you send.

Insults
If you insult the Honor of another Clan, the War Rank increases by one.

Murder
If a samurai from another Province is murdered in your Province, the War Rank increases by a number of ranks equal to his own Giri Rank.

Other Actions
During the campaign, a samurai may commit an offense that justifies increasing the War Rank. You know those pesky players; always coming up with something you and I never thought of...

DECLARING WAR
One the War Rank between two Provinces reaches 10, War is inevitable. It will occur the next Season.

War is a Season Action. It is the only Season Action a Daimyo and his Officers can take for that Season. All resources and efforts are dedicated to War.

That is, if you declare War, you may take no other Season Actions.

CALCULATIONS
When determining the outcome of a War, we must calculate the Advantages each side has. For this, we shall look to Sun Tzu and his Art of War. His wisdom will give us the outcome.

Winning one of the calculations means you gain Advantage Points. Whichever side has the most Advantage Points at the end of the calculations will most likely be the victor.

Although, some other factors may come into play after the calculations are made...

The First Calculation: The Moral High Ground
Whose government is able to establish a moral cause and gain the whole people's enthusiastic cooperation?

The Courtier of each Daimyo makes a Beauty risk. (Speeches may be necessary from the players. Your choice.) The one who gains privilege adds his wagers as Advantages. The loser only adds half his wagers, rounded up, as Advantages.

The Second Calculation: Generals
Whose generals are most capable?

Next, determine the rank of the Generals. Each General gains a number of Advantage Points equal to his rank.

The Third Calculation: Heaven and Earth
Who can take advantage of the benefits of Heaven and Earth?

Now, the Oracle for each Daimyo makes a Wisdom risk (Aspects and other benefits are appropriate). The one who gains privilege adds his wagers as Advantages. The loser only adds half his wagers, rounded up, as Advantages.

The Fourth Calculation: Orders
Whose orders will be carried out most successfully?

Each General makes a Cunning risk. The one who gains privilege adds his wagers as Advantages. The loser only adds half his wagers, rounded up, as Advantages.

The Fifth Calculation: Strength
Whose army is strongest?

Add the total ranks of troops (samurai, ashigaru, etc.) together for each side. Each rank of troops is an Advantage Point.

The Sixth Calculation: Training
Whose troops have the best training?

Add up the Prowess of all the samurai and NPCs in the armies. Each rank of Prowess is worth one Advantage.

The Seventh Calculation: Morale
Which Army's Rewards and Punishments are Fairest and Strictest?

Add up the Courage of all the samurai and NPCs in the armies. Each rank of Courage is worth one Advantage.

WAGING WAR
Once the Advantages have been calculated, it is time for War.

Wars occur in Waves. Each Wave is a Season.

During the Wave, each side uses its Advantages to cause casualties. Each player writes down his orders secretly and hands them to the Narrator. The damage done by Advantages is revealed all at once.

An Advantage can cause one of your opponent's troops to lose one rank. If a troop is reduced to zero ranks, it is destroyed.

Or, if you prefer, you may use an Advantage to cause damage to your opponent's Province. You can reduce the rank of any Holding by one for each Advantage you use. If a Holding is reduced to zero ranks, it is destroyed.

You may also use Advantages to give Injuries to prominent samurai and NPCs on the opponent's side. Each Advantage is a rank 1 Injury.

You may use further Advantages to aggravate Injuries.

End of the Wave
At the end of each Wave, either side may surrender. Surrenders must be negotiated. If one side is unhappy with the negotiations, War may continue for another Wave and another Season.

When all casualties are counted, recount each side's Advantages and perform another Wave.

Remember: no Season Actions other than War may be taken while War is declared.

"WOW! WAR SUCKS!"
It costs you Season Actions.
It costs you Resources.
It costs you Troops.
It costs you Officers.
It costs you Holdings.
War sucks.
Consider it carefully.

Re: Zeichen, Bauen, Malen un Digital-art

Na ein Bild kostet Zeit und -bei manchem mehr, bei manchen weniger - Geld. Und wenn man dann etwas zeichnet und es dann doch nicht so gewünscht ist... es ist schlichtweg unfair. Daher plädiere ich für mehr Transparenz und für weniger kryptische Aufgaben

was meinbst du mit "etwas umsonst zu machen"

Re: Zeichen, Bauen, Malen un Digital-art

@Starbuck mein Fehler war ein Tipp-, und kein Rechtschreibfehler (Stichwort: Handy) Meinen Fehler habe ich nicht korrigiert - aber ich will auch nichts vom TE ;)
MIR  ging es nicht darum, jemanden öffentlich bloßzustellen - mir als "Künstlerin" geht es nur und einzig darum, zu verstehen, was der Antragsteller will. ICH als "Künstler" mache etwas: investiere Zeit und Ressourcen: natürlich will ich, dass derjenige, der mich um etwas bittet, auch artikulieren kann, was genau er will. Denn ich habe, ehrlich gesagt, keine Lust, etwas umsonst zu  machen.

Re: Goethe war Dichter, wir sind NOCH Dichter!

Und weil ich brav bin aber Ordnung halten möchte auch ein Beitrag von mir jedoch in einem seperaten Post.

Noch ein Fragment aus meiner Lineagezeit, das aber keiner Erklärung bedarf.


 Aus der Seele

Ach Schwester,
wie fehlst du mir.
Ich sitz allein und bete für dich.
Erinnere dich
an all die Kinderstreiche.
Wenn uns zu Taten zumute war
und wir liefen
den Hügel hinauf.
Wir pflückten Blumen
für Mama.
Wir sammelten Pilze
für Papa
Doch eines suchten wir nie.
Es war da,
die Freundschaft in unseren Herzen.

Ach Schwester
wie vermiss ich die Zeit
die Zeit mit dir, meiner Freundin.
Unsere Herzen
warn' so eng verbunden.
unsere Gedanken scheinbar die selben.
und doch so verschieden.
So wolltest du
und wollte ich
und was taten wir?
Ich tötete dich.
Es tut mir so leid
Das war nicht ich.
Das warst du
in deiner Eifersucht.

Ach Schwester
Du tatest gut damit
Um zu leben, muss sterben.
Unsere Herzen
Sie hinderten sich.
Und fuer der einen Schwester Leben
muss die Andre ihres geben.
So ist es der Wille
der Zeit und der Götter.
Ich denke an dich
ich erinnere mich.
Halt ich das Objekt deiner Gier in meinen Händen.
So ist es nun mein.
Ist von dir geblieben.
Doch bedenke: Ich werde dich immer lieben.

Goethe war Dichter, wir sind NOCH Dichter!

Ich möchte mal dazu aufrufen, dass die Autoren unter uns vielleicht mal ihre Gedichte posten.

Der ein oder andere hat ja vielleicht mal ein Gedicht für einen Char oder eine Story(vielleicht ein Rätsel?) verfasst.
Her damit!!! 
Und auch Gedichte, die nicht euer RP betreffen sind ganz sicher wilkommen und überwiegen wahrscheinlich das Repertoire.


Aus Vorsicht will ich noch auf das Urheberrecht hinweisen!
Bitte postet hier nur Texte, die euer eigenes geistiges Gut sind. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass man natürlich nicht seinen realen Namen darunter schreiben möchte um klar zu stellen, dass der Text einem gehört, aber werde mich wenn nötig selbst mal darüber informieren.
(Toll wäre es natürlich, falls sich wer bereits wirklich mit Urheberrecht auskennt. Dann könnte man dazu die wichtigsten Informationen zusammen fassen und hier im Ordner anpinnen.) 

Re: Zeichen, Bauen, Malen un Digital-art

Ich stimme Hexxchen da zu.

Zu der Rechtschreibsache: In diesem Thread war noch kein einziger fehlerfreier Post zu lesen!

(Ja genau, ihr habt richtig gelesen, ich meine euch alle.)
 
Klar wäre es schön, wenn alle perfekt schreiben würden bzw. könnten. Jemanden hier öffentlich so bloß zu stellen finde ich allerdings schon ganz schön heftig.

Aber zurück zum Thema:
Ich denke auch, dass du, Kamaru, hier nicht fündig werden wirst und du Hexxchens Rat folgen solltest.
