Just noticed this. The Spring and Autumn courts are quite prominent in my game, though currently I'm keeping them pretty mysterious.

I have the King of Autumn being the Reaper (aka Samhain, but Reaper is his most common name these days). He's a terrifying figure dressed all in black, resembling Reverend Kane from Poltergeist II. He is utterly without mercy, but also without cruelty. It is his job to end things and he does it. He is, however, pretty bad at political games and often leaves unintended loopholes in his edicts which his Prince exploits.

Jack is the Prince of Autumn. Which Jack? All of them. Jack Frost, Jack O'Lantern, Jack the Giant Killer, etc. He was once a mortal, but he tricked his way into power in the court when he trapped the Reaper King in a magical sack. He wanted immortality, and got it as a Sidhe. He also cannot be killed or significantly harmed by any forces of Autumn, including, unfortunately, the Reaper King, which makes his ambition to become Autumn King dangerous. He looks like a surprisingly ordinary young man dressed in slightly old-fashioned "country boy" clothes.

The Spring court hasn't been dealt with much, but they're currently courting (no pun intended) a PC to be the Knight of Spring. She also happens to be Jack's daughter, which would be a huge insult to to Autumn. Their representative is a certain Robert Goodman, who is a slightly sleazy but charming man in a suit who lives on deals and tricks. He's actually Puck, and the Prince of Spring. Naturally, Oberon is the King, though he has yet to appear "onscreen."

Cool story! Between you and Sanctaphrax's ideas i like how the other 2 courts can be shaped. Though i personally intend to make Samhain and the Reaper separate. I want to follow the heiarchy of the Winter and Summer Courts The Mother, The Queen and the Lady. (though it will be The Father, King and the Lord for Spring and Autumn)

Keeping with both ideas:
Autumn:
Lord: Jack the Pumpkin King: Granted he has "King" in his personal title, but he was elevated to Autumn Lord because he will be partially responsible for the restoration of the Autumn and Spring courts. Which results in freeing Samhain and Oberon From Mab's clutches.

King: Samhain:

Father: The Harvester (Reaper): While he does look like the classic Grim Reaper, i wanted him to represent the harvesting before possible death.

Spring:
Lord: Puck: As true to his nature he "tricked" Jack into helping him being back Spring as well as Autumn and was rewarded with the power of the Lord of the Spring Court.

King: Oberon

Father: This is where i am having difficulty filling this slot. Any and all suggestions would be very helpful.

Again My thanks to Sanctaphrax and FishStampede for the wonderful ideas!

Do all rods have to be the same rectangular cylindrical shape as i have read in the novels? I created (in progress as i still try to understand the game) a character is a cowboy sorcerer who has a rod carved in a revolver shape so that he can use it to draw as if to use it in a shootout. I used the slots (Lore is at Great) like this: +1 offensive control, +1 Spirit, +2 offensive power. Hopefully did this right.

    Could very well be, although it is quite different from the island of pirates, indians, and ticking crocodiles I remember from the movies.

    So EVERYTHING fantasy is in the nevernever? Just thinking about that is starting to hurt my brain. All those pocket dimensions...


Yes. Absolutely.

At the very least theose things could exist in Demenses or within parts of the Nevernever that merge with dreams of critters/people.

So, if i understand this logic, the Nevernever is basically a crossroads nexus where each part of it can lead to a different place/dimension. Cool concept. 

How about a cursed item.

Like an amulet to go with that sword and shield from Monoc that while it does make the wearer more brave it also instills bloodlust and an addiction for battle where the user over time will become so dependent that he will destroy himself as he tries to quench the thirst of battle.

Or something along those destructive tendencies where their marriage would not last for long. (of course a long time for mortals and Fae are different. )

A whole lot messier, that seems to be a wise agreement. The First Accords probably came about with the formation of the White Council. Why would other powers negotiate with prey that really wasn't organized enough to defend itself outside of some torches and pitchforks. I'm betting the most recent ones, if there have been more than one, were caused by a massive escalation of bloodshed on all sides caused under the table by Mab. That way everyone would be more likely to sign her version of the Accords than another.

I think there may be something to this. Remember that the Gods were mostly in power because of the beleif fed to them by the humans (and other possible beings) that may have worshiped them. As Humanity grew more independent their power waned. I think Mab, ever the opportunist, took advantage and seeing as how she likes humans as playthings came up with this to kinda curb the supernatural community and also make sure that humans don't go extinct (yet?). Mab only does things to her advantage in one way or another after all. 

Just my opinion as always. 

The forum normally defines spoilers as material from a book currently in its first year (generally any book only available in hardcover). So right now the only real spoiler material is the Cold Days sample chapters. On the other hand not everyone (especially in the RPG board) has read all the books, and since the RPG stops around Small Favor that seems to be around where you should start being careful of spoilers.

OK, i never figured that anyone who plays the RPG has NOT read the series. I will keep that in mind for future posts. Thank you for the spoiler clarification. 

Just curious, since the RPG only goes as far as Small Favor, has anyone made any stats regarding the Fomor? I figure the servitors probably just got powers that are listed in the book, but i figured more experienced players might have come up with some stats for the main bad guys themselves.
