Dear friends, I'm a BR DM, and I'm facing some trouble with my players:
Let me introduce you in my campaingn: Two players were the children of
Marlae Roesone. Marlae were murdered, and they have decided to split
Roesone. Now there's North Roesone (controlled by a priest) and South
Roesone (controlled by a wizard).
My problems are:
1 - They both have too much money! The priest (Alvin Roesone) have almost
200 gb!!! And the wizard (Banlock Roesone) have constructed a mighty army
(about 14 units), although he don't have much money. Is this normal? This
army could conquer a big piece of South Anuire...
2 - The wizard were having trouble with El-Hadid. One day, he invited
El-Hadid to negotiate a "cease fire" between them. But, that was not his
trully intentions. Banlock killed El-Haddid, it was a trap! I'm thinking in
putting El-Hadid's son (supposing he has one) in his father's place. How do
I do that? He automatically inherits all his father's assets?
3 - The army of South Roesone is what more frieghtens me. He has already
conquered Ilien (although it's not a strong realm), but his plains are to
conquer Diemed and Medoere (I think), because he doesn't like Diemed
(Diemed tried to reconstruct the old realm (Diemed+Medoere+Roesone), soon
after the death of Marlae. Banlock thinks that Heirl Diemed killed his
mother. Should I allow him to conquer this realms? Should I put some extra
difficulties?
Please, answer me this questions, and comment about my campaing setting...

Hi Teo.

>Dear friends, I'm a BR DM, and I'm facing some trouble with my
>players:(...)My problems are:>1 - They both have too much money!

You don't give any precisions as to how they acquired that much money, so
it's a bit hard to see how to control the problem. Be sure to apply the
loyalty rules for high taxation. Also, give them some competition for their
guild and temple holdings (I assume they control them). If you let a regent
have all the holdings uncontested in his domain, trouble usually follows.

>2 - The wizard were having trouble with El-Hadid. (...) I'm thinking in
>putting El-Hadid's son (supposing he has one) in his father's place. How
>do I do that? He automatically inherits all his father's assets?
It seems this transfer of regency is automatic. Now your regent has a REAL
enemy. Thieft, agitation, assassination of family members and lieutenants
are likely to follow. Be sure to have him feel the full political
consequences of his cold-blooded murder: other regents might refuse to deal
with him, he could inherit of a bad epithet ("the Mad Sorcerer", domains
will side with his enemies.
This is supposed to be a game of intrigue and politic. Players have to
understand that if they act rudely, they'll make many enemies very fast.

>3 - The army of South Roesone is what more frieghtens me. He has already
>conquered Ilien (although it's not a strong realm), but his plains are to

I don't see an army of 14 units as a very big army. Surely Medeore and
Diemed can muster that much troops in an emergency. Also, with the behavior
that your sadistic mage exhibited, militants temple might take an interest
in he character and send holy knight units to defend his enemies.
People might get to label him "abobination - shoot him on sight" and your
mage will have to embark on a public relation run to have a better image,
unless he gets used to adventurers constantly disturb his realm spells
spellcasting and management by trying to kill him or steal his magical
items.

Hope it helps.
