Ascension Address
After nine quiet years, a masked and curiously-attired stranger walks the mountain path into the isolated village of Zahndorf. The night watchman, still on patrol as the sun rises, calls out and raises a brightly glinting crossbow. The stranger nervously unbuckles his cumbersome leather mask, drops a heavy bundle of posters and brass instruments at his feet, and remaining at some distance, clears his throat.
“How many deaths since the summer?” he shouts.

Final Ruleset
Commentary
This game lasted for 2 months.
This was my first dynasty and I clumsily pulled several (mechanically successful!) scams but that actually accomplished nothing, because I didn't know how to weaponize them. So, instead, they just highlighted bugs in the system. I had an obscene amount of Well Waters at a certain moment, for example, when you were only "supposed" to have up to 3 items in your inventory. Wasn't useful though. --Cuddlebeam (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
