Welcome to the Round Table of Bretonnia!

The following forms a sub-plot to the thread "A bretonnian revolution? (discussion and planning)" and was written by me over a 24-hour period between 31st December 2009 and 1st January 2010.

The story revolves around a dispossessed knight, named  Toustain de Mont Briècque, who is from the small town of Mont Briècque in southern Carcassonne and located in the foothills of the eastern Irrana Mountains, near to the Nuvolone Pass.

I hope you enjoy the story, and your comments and feedback, via the RP thread, will be most welcome.

Sir Guy (aka CitadelSix / Geoff Buss) 

even year had passed to the day -on the same ominous day our saviour Gilles le Breton was born so long ago- since the lord of the land, a cruel and avaricious man by the name of Jacques de Marlais, had died in a revolt of the people he had so unrelentingly extorted for his own greed, and finally to his own ruin. Having no heirs or living relatives the land was handed down by the sovereign into the care of the charge of the previous lord, a man who was his brother by rites of marriage, Pierre d'Aide Avare. True to his guardian, his was an even more harsh rule; the revolt bloodily thrown down, heavier taxes, he even punished the household for their supposedly inability to safeguard their lord. All knights and family had abandoned him over the years -which he did not rue: for now he had less mouths to feed. And now, being an old bitter man, he would reach a cornerstone of his life.

Please note that this article merely instructs how I sculpted my dragon and know that you can do yours in whatever manner you like.  Now, before any construction ensues, you need a LOT of greenstuff (My dragon consumed about three or four rolls.).  I would refrain from buying this from the Games workshop website because there it’s hardly worth the price as well as shipping and handling.  Instead, peruse your local hobbyshops ( I found impressive amounts of greenstuff being sold for only $5.00 apiece at a woodcarving store.) or E-Bay, where I’ve found large quantities for sale at dirt-cheap prices.  There are also alternative putties to greenstuff that work just as well.  For instance, brownstuff is sturdier and good for solid understructures, and greystuff is softer and helpful for details.  Ideally, one with a project as ambitious as this would possess all three, but I’ve found it quite maneagable to get by with only greenstuff.

Yes, it's that special time of the year again. The Round Table of Bretonnia celebrates its fourth anniversary! Just in time, we have almost 3000 members registered. That number will probably be reached during the celebrations within the next weeks.

As the tradition was established over the last years, there will be a painting competition, writing competition, and more. Watch this announcement and the Main Page for updates!
