The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm all for Therian and Branor.

[Boromir88]

Aye, I think so far the only people Therian and Branor would be able to put up with are...Therian and Branor.

OK with me.

Good idea, the poor fellow can do with some distraction. I think he'd get along reasonably well with Amdír or Harrenon - maybe Sereth too, but I guess she'd find him boring, he's not much good with kids. No idea what would happen if you teamed him up with Aldarion; I'd like Coldan to overcome his animosity towards A. in the end, but I feel he still has quite a way to go.

For planning purposes, how many Days (in-game) do you think we will be investigating? Just this coming one, or maybe two or three?

I've had Harrenon ask Coldan whether he would like to join him in their search for information. I hope that's ok with you, Pitch. Of course, if you have other plans for Coldan you can have him say no.

All right- Aldarion has just revealed part of his position on Branor to Asta. In case you need to write in reactions for Aldarion, he's agreeable to the fact-finding missions, and approves of the idea of pairing actors (to make sure no one fudges on his or her report).

When it comes to sending him off to find leads, Aldarion would probably do fine speaking with Tower Guards and certain nobles. Given what his family is in Dol Amroth, it's likely Aldarion could find a captain or two that met his father during the war. And if there are any theater-going influential sorts in the city, doubtless they saw or at least heard of The Swan Player's "Rise and Fall of the Golden King" in which Aldarion starred. And of course Aldarion definitely has an in with Cirdacil as a close friend of his son-in-law.

(I gave all that info so that someone can write me into their post(s) if need be. I'm not entirely certain when I'll be able to post tomorrow.)

Ugh, I was going to move things to the next morning tonight, but I've been caught up in Application Woes and only just remembered this, and I have to be up and at 'em in 4 hours. Expect a post sometime around 10 or 11 am Eastern; in the meantime, anyone else who wants to move things ahead, please do.

As for how long the investigating should go, we'll need to give Aldarion time to work up the script and ourselves time to rehearse. So I'd say two days of this kind of work.
