Succession Games are games played by multiple people, one after another, in succession. So, 1 person starts a character, plays it, uploads the save (very simple) and someone else picks it up and plays. I've done it before with limited success but that little bit of success was pretty fun for all 3 of us involved. PoP and it's devoted fans seem more inclined to cooperation, however, so I thought I'd try it again. The original idea - pretty much exactly the same - came from here but has been amended with ideas from here.
Rules:
1) Take this as seriously or sillyously as you like
2) Each turn = 72 RL hours or until you post it up. I will be editing the title of this thread to show who's turn it is and when it is up in forum-time (which is what timezone?). If someone posts up and I haven't updated the thread title or PM'd you and it's your turn, go for it. I'll catch up.
3) If you want to be added to the list of eligible players, just say so and I'll add you on. When your turn comes up, you'll have 24 hours to respond (you will be notified in PM) before you get kicked to the back of the list and the next player gets a shot. If you can't do it now, but can in a few days, say so and you'll be bumped back a slot or two instead of all the way to the end.
4) Currently we are keeping it linear meaning 1 person at a time, wait for your turn. Once we see how this goes we might open it up to allow parallel episodes and multiple realities but we'll see.
5) Once we run out of volunteers, we start the list over again. New players are welcomed at any time but will be added to the list just behind the current player.
6) Write a little, write a lot, I don't care but be sure to have some fun with it. Screen shots are appreciated but not madatory.
I've already started: The character's name is Siglad, he blew almost all of his early money on a Mettenhiem Dueling sword (promptly used it with great success on a drunken jerk) and some sellswords. It's day 2 and he's level 2 thanks to taking out some sort of Ravenstern fella for 435 xp in a little Fierdsvain-Ravenstern scrap.

Oh yeah, and he has Lord Stephan in custody! Went into the battle alone, came out with 5700 denars (at least) worth of Ravenstern nobility!

Here is the first effort but I think Blackfish and I scared everyone off so I'm keeping this one simple for now. I'll be adding a PoP chapter maybe.
