Question about factions, so far it's pretty clear what each one does and the effects of starting with or without one, but what happens after start up? If you begin without a faction, can you join one a few events down the line and can you leave your current faction in order to become independant or to join a different one? Obviously if this is possible you'd need to be 'let in' to a new faction by the appropriate players/NPCs too.

Basically, it's entirely down to what happens in play. We don't currently have any independent characters (which is good because I'm not sure how they'd get XP beyond the basic 4!) and would probably recommend such new arrivals join the Wayfarers, but I have little doubt that factions' ideologies and memberships will develop over time. Hell, I'd be fine with an entire faction crumbling/being destroyed due to player activity.

Hell, I'd be fine with an entire faction crumbling/being destroyed due to player activity.We have done it before Jo, Sure we can do it again even if your on the -other side- now. I was wondering this as well, Thanks for clearing it up. What if.. some how.. you were involved deeply with two factions. Hoping to help both reach some of there goals be it duty bound, in payment for service or to aid your own evil plan.. what then Boss?

I think that kind of double loyalty comes down to roleplay. Mechanically, you'd be a member of one or the other, depending on where your true loyalties lay -- and you'd get the XP allocated to your "true" faction. It would also depend how the situation came about.

Which factions still have space in them for players?

| Bearing in mind that we've upped the ceiling to 60 players: 2 spaces in the Dawning Light (but there's a guy who might be coming who says he'll play a Dawning Light character)
6 spaces in Duke Ladrill's Second Company (although there's a group of 4 who say they're turning up and paying on the gate...)
7 spaces in the Free Thought Radicals (again, one person's expressed an interest in paying on the gate)
No spaces in the Velvet Glove (if you include slaves, which I do)
3 spaces in the Wayfarers' Guild (but there should be at least one more booking) So, all of them except the pointy-eared James Bond lot...

Trying to work out how the factions work in the world.
Obviously the Wayfarers are a legitimate groups so membership of it isn't a crime, it's just the average world doesn't know about any anti commonweath feelings in the guild.
Similiarly the Dawning Light is totally illegal and humans are slaves, who happen to band together for protection. I assume any group of Dawning light who hang out as a group are called bandits at best?
Is Duke Ladrill's 2nd Company a legitimate army unit? it's simply that most people aren't aware they are rebelling against the commonwealth, or has the comany been dispanded and so it's members hide in other company's secret plotting the commonwealth's downfall?
what about the radicals and velvet glove? I assume these aren't open groups, so will everyone coming to the event has an alais or cover they are operating under whilst also being a member of the reblious factions?

I assume any group of Dawning light who hang out as a group are called bandits at best?In the absence of a good lie, yes. Lucius (10/6/2008)
Is Duke Ladrill's 2nd Company a legitimate army unit?At the start of play, they remain composed exactly as they were when they were formed, with a few more irregulars. More than that would be to ruin your fun ;-) Lucius (10/6/2008)
what about the radicals and velvet glove? I assume these aren't open groups, so will everyone coming to the event has an alais or cover they are operating under whilst also being a member of the reblious factions?The Radicals are the least secretive group, because of the tradition of academic freedom that lets them get away with "thought experiments" or whatever. The Velvet Glove don't even know who each other are, most of the time. There are rumours of elven dissidents who don't realise that they themselves are in the Glove ;-) The event's set some way off the beaten track for precisely this reason; it's easier to be a bit relaxed about your affiliation (although loose lips still sink ships!).
