Characters going between chapters
I would like to start a discussion about characters going to different chapters
Should characters be able to do in-between event activates and support organizations with allegiance points at both chapters?
First, it is my understanding when one is supporting an organization the person is doing some type of work during the in-between event to help that organization out. It could mean they are directing people, planting crops, digging ore out of the ground etc.. In the end, the person needs to be around to support the organization
Second, it takes time to do research in-between events.
How can a person perform these actions if they are only at one location (Chapter) for only a short period of time? A character could be at FH for a couple weeks, than transfers over to WH and stay’s there for months. Does it not make sense, the person only has enough time to research stuff at WH and support an organization at WH.
In my opinion a person should only to do in-between research and support an organization at one chapter (5-6 in-between events a year), but has the opportunity to go back and forth between chapters to RP and gain levels with the same character.
Next. Should resources be able to transfer between chapters? I say no because it can unbalance a chapters economy. Let’s say FH lost a couple trade routes because of bad decisions, RP, or negative route roll’s. The people are in crises or are part of a plot. Is it fair for people of WH to come with all their resources to bail out FH because they have extra resources because they have been lucky, received more resources, etc… This also can stop a groups attempt to create a monopoly of a certain resource which leads trade and RP opportunities. Hey X group has all the food routes, but that’s OK because we can just use all the extra food we have at Chapter X
Also, are people aware there are constraints on how many resources a person can carry on them with out the aid of extra people and equipment? I have seen people from WH pull boxes of resources out to use at FH, and I wonder how they moved them from WH to FH by themselves.
To me, it would be cleaner and simpler if a chapter resources stay at the chapter.
