The Sixth Dynasty of Brendan

Ascension Address: Editor in Charge
This? THIS is the result of your years of work, you ink-stained wretches? I finally make time for a simple, pleasant decade’s sabbatical, only to return and find the Codex a disorganized mess! Piles of half-completed pages in untidy stacks! Slumping heaps of material no one has ever skimmed, much less considered in the light of canon! There’s a whole room in the back overrun with silverfish! This whole operation is… is… is a palimpsest!
All that ends today, children. Whatever your quibbling personal interests in this material, I have a mission to perform, and I intend to see it through with or without you. Either you get rid of this apocrypha and distill it into the One True Ruleset… or I will.
Repeal all Dynastic Rules except “Two-Player Mode.” Replace “Moderator” with “Editor” and “Hunter” with “Scribe” throughout the Ruleset.

http://blognomic.com/archive/playing_unsafe - The first apocryphal rule, "Ousting" from dynasty 7, letting scribes pay the holder of an Official Position to vacate it. This wasn't very influential mechanically, but inspired the adoption of both Official Positions and the resource Paper.

http://blognomic.com/archive/scribing_brush - The second apocryphal rule, "Bathing" from the Reality TV dynasty. With it came two more resources, Looks and Fame, and a weekly action grind for random chances to increase them. It led to Locations as a general mechanic.
