Welcome to the Round Table of Bretonnia!

This thread discusses the Content article: Foreword and Chapter 1: Thoughts of Nobility

Greetings TheAdmiral,

I know it's early to comment on your story but... It's wonderfully easy to get into reading. The characters are introduced gradually, and are well presented. One touch I liked immensely was the way Senor Duarte is comparing peasants to cockroaches in his thoughts, but is accepting, even praises Joaqin without prejudice. This seeming contradiction really brings Duarte alive. It shows a great imagination and a daring in thought to explore any concept, even unsavory ones in the quest for truth, while remaining decent folk. In other words, you have painted a man with his head in the clouds and his feet on the ground. Anyway, I am greatly looking forward to your story and your reconquista role playing game as I am a great fan of Charlton Heston's 'El Cid', though ignorant of the realities of the actual history.

First of all, thanks for the comment!

I'm glad I've achieved the desired effect. The whole story will focus on the characters more than the actual events. Sure, there are events, but what the story is really about is how the family deals with these events.

Can't say too much on it without revealing anything, so you'll just have to wait for chapter two, which will naturally be a lot longer. This is just an appetizer.


EDIT: The Reconquista RPG is still in Sign-up. Sign-up now and you'll have a good deal of freedom in creating your character. Once it has started, it will have to be a character that fits the story.

Hm. A good start. I'll be interested to see where this goes next.
