Does anybody know if there is any other entry on Melyy except in Tribes of heartless waste?

here is the question, how to rule those "boom or bust" taxation in the 3rd edition BRSC ???

[AndrewTall]

Well, 'boom or bust' means that it must be random so not very 3e!

I'd say that you get normal holding income, and then choose whether to roll a random die on top, if you do then you probably get more - but may lose it all - this roll should be a special sort of random event.

You could simply change the random event table to add 'boom' and swap out bad events for 'bust' - and then demand a seasonal roll...

Current situation in Melyy is unique for Cerilia - province development is out of control of its ruler. So, IMO, random "boom/bust" table is a necessity. Randomization comes not from game mechanic, but from "silver fever" situation in this state.

perhaps the 10% chance for boom and/or bust, and the chance grows every season for the number of gold bars you collected, and after the event happens the chance goes back to the original 10%.
For example in the province of Buzu, Ivan Polavich collects 3 GB with moderate taxation, so for the every season beyond initial one, the chance grows for 3%.
Lower roles on d100, from 01-10, represents bust, and higher roles, from 90-100 represents Boom.
In this way if regent exploits the province harder, the greater is the chance for boom/bust.
Or we can use the fixed 16% chance, with bust from 01-16%, and boom from 84-100%.

Does anyone knows something more on a relation, between Melyy and Vos settlers in Lutkhovski, is it vassalage or just a support ???
Anyone has any ideas ???

[kgauck]

Vassalage implies setting up a new domain, or identifying an existing domain as a vassal of someone. Is this what you have in mind?

[cccpxepoj]

no, but eastern part of Lutkhovski is connected with Melyy trough Hook River Guild, and hook river guild is located in Melyy.
Most of the Vos settlers in Lutkhovski are from Melyy i guess.

There could be some settlers from Melyy but it does not necessarily mean that the majority is from Melyy. Settlers may had come there long time ago from various parts of Vosgaard (or beyond). The land can be reached from Melyy and Velenoye, but also from southern parts by sea. Where one sees cold and harsh land, the other sees opportunities.
