Provinces of the Great Kingdom

Nah, thanks, man. I appreciate your kindness with this, also because the approach to the setting was always a source of argument between me and you. - But no worries, the important thing is that we keep the dice rolling.

My only goal with the new game is to always have a continuing Blackmoor game going, and one that needs less management,
and is more open than a PBP. I think the LFC can accomplish that, because of the approach that we - together - took earlier.
But that approach was for a distinct purpose that is now sort of achieved. So, yay, renovation!

Sure thing!

Game sessions, I might do more often, though - always provided that people are interested. - Already rolled out your character, hmmmm?

Sorry, no way I can make it during the holliday season, but if you end up making more games I am definitely interested

The "Byzantine Empire" appears to be remotely canonical; I think I will largely ignore that side, as well, simply because the linguistic union of the setting is more important:
We have proto-Persians, and proto-Saxons/-vikings in the same setting already; let's not overload it.

Not sure where you get "Byzantine" from?

The linguistic perspective is something I havent really thought about. Worth pondering on.

For my Thonia though, I am going with a literal interpretation of the Thonian Empire being 10 times the size of the Blackmoor Map. Effectively this means a truly huge and multicultural realm.

BTW, where did the name Palmyra first appear?

Palmyra is a term I used when I did the Irilian campaign and was not sure how the handling of the BM license would go:
Had somebody piqued up the license, then, instead of returning with an "official" sequel to the LFC, we would have gone there, on an independent server.
- Not because of you, or whatever, but because I am not willing to work for free on something that helps others to sell their books. At least not like we did.

(FTR, me reactivating the LFC has to do a lot with the Blackmoor license not being anywhere near of being revived.)

The term itself is biblical, IIRC. Palmyra is a city in the biblical land of Zenobia. So, just a tongue-in-cheek, really.

Okay cool thanks! For some reason I thought I had seen it in the FFC, but then when I couldnt find it in my notes I realized it must have been something else. That is your thing then. Looking forward to seeing what you will be doing with it.
