It's been a while. I want to try something new.
The Queen has named you a Baron, entrusting you a small plot of land and one (1) servant. Depending on how well you do as a Leader, you could be promoted or even have the chance to be wed to the crown Prince or Princess.
Otherwise, I want to see where this goes this time without any fancy hunger system or the like, and you can keep track of what you've got. Build things as you desire, run market districts, however you want to do things. If you want to fight each other, it will just be an opposed die roll. You can even create a new character if you lose.
Let's see how you rule your Barony.

My assistant and I will take inventory of everything available to us in our land.3 Your small plot of land has fertile soil, a small forest to the east, and a bungalow house with a cobblestone road leading south. The house has a living room, kitchen and dining area, a master bedroom for you and a servant's quarters for Helga. Not too shabby for some free land.
2+1=3 Iean finds some lizard eggs, though they are not horse sized. Obtain 3 lizard eggs.Spoiler: Neil Dragonson (click to show/hide)

4 You build a very nice mud den, suitable for most burrowing animals or the like. The lizard eggs will be very comfortable here.
5 You find some pumpkins growing nearby, so you decide to spread their seeds on your land for farming. It being the right season seems to have some magical properties, as they are already growing fruitfully. You now own 1 Fertile Pumpkin Patch. Gain 1 Prosperity.Lets start some season appropriate crops up: Pumpkins! A good harvest should be enough to rake in some money.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(You will now potentially earn some gold each post, determined by die of course.)
