We can worry about those once Osle is done with their test.

Meanwhile, I have a basic map of the kingdom up! I will work on an actual icon for the GLORIOUS ASCENDANT BANANA SHOGUNATE at some point (any suggestions for a flag?), but right now, it is basic as basic can be.

Mainly because there is still one more person who needs to roll on the Kingdom Environment table, and that has a tendency to change things up.

Where do the relevant rules for this start? ;-;

Nope, no suggestions. Which is awkward, because I have a flag.

Clearly our flag must be much like Japan's Rising Sun one as we are a shogunate, but instead of a sun, it's bananas. GENIUS!
Our god is a macarena wielding bananaman and our anthem shall be about sandwiches and our pastime is baseball.


So I'm going to be a money loving vizier who likes small spaces.....

Ah but I shouldn't actually use this pic :p

You have to scroll down to page... 41. The PDF is a tad poor, sorry.

And I'm afraid I lack artistic skill (yes, I'm unable to draw bananas.) Anyone want to draw a pair of small square-ish icons? There needs to be one for HOME BASE and another for THE TERRITORIES.

I refuse to condone any sort of sport as a national pastime.

Huh, I forgot bonus points. FIXING NOW. ALL KNEEL BEFORE TOTALLY-NOT-GILGAMESH.

Our national sport shall be blood shed to appease our joyfully malevolent god.

Why do we need a national sport with population of around sixtyish? D:

Is it just me or are the random event tables, even the good ones, full of bad things?  :twitch

Nope. All of them have bad results!

Some of them just consist solely of bad results.

Why does the person that designed this want you to fail even when you succeed? XD

Our religion is one of bloodshed and war. The Blood Father, our patron, rules over our lives. It is to him that we sacrifice the blood of our enemies. His pleasure at bathing in their blood and watching the courage of our soldiers grants us his protection. He cares not whether our enemies fall at the hands of a blade wrought before him or by a shiv slid into their back. His pleasure is the same.

I'm kinda curious how you guys got from ABS to KHORNE, but OK?

Description of the religion apparently has us worshipping Khorne for some reason.
 
Irreverence is the highest priority. That, or Kinoko will try and get people to worship her for fun. Because violent butcher gods don't get respect. And means less time talking about herself. >.>

I'd imagine that other than a small yearly tithe to the god, most would ignore him until time for combat. Only the oracle and priests would routinely pay hommage to the Blood Father.

And Khorne is strikingly similar to what I was going for

So, given our population, only Captain Bloodthirsty there really cares about the god? XD

Until battle, pretty much just the king, due to his desires and the oracle, raised in such belief. Otherwise most just treat him as if he doesn't take much notice of them unless they draw his attention, negatively or positively.

-Is the King.-

She's too damn egotistical to care. Her main goal is killing Death and a god is merely an accessory to that. Unless he's directly relevant, lip service at best. :p
