Just had a quick play through and wanted to congratulate you on an amazing WIP. I’m really enjoying it so far and just wanted to give a quick thumbs up 
it’ll be really interesting to see how you craft the rest of the story from here Random question but have you seen the film ‘First Knight’?

Cool! Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll definitely try it out.
@Disciple Thanks for the suggestions! 
I don’t have time to check the exact numbers right now, but if I remember correctly, I think I wrote it so that Guen can master Meligaunt’s sword with a high DM, high Sword (and no DM), combination of medium DM and medium Sword, or a history of several ruthless choices (tracked invisibly). So even a LM/Leadership Guen could get the sword if she’s made enough ruthless choices (unless I’m remembering wrong).
For the “good” sword, it would be all the same stat checks except LM instead of DM, and a history of peaceful choices.
@Mattm99 Thanks for playing and for posting!! I’m glad you like it! I did see First Knight a long time ago when it came out, but I don’t remember much about it.

After two long years…
I return…!
Hello, beautiful queens of Camelot! 
HELLO QUEEN OF QUEENS @jeantown
What have I missed? Has the series wrapped up yet? Are we still at the first half of Book 2?
Now you made want me to play a really dumb Gwen so I can get a ‘special’ sword.

Guen: Watches Arthur hold excalibur
Guen: Not fair! I want one too!
Arthur: Sorry?
Guen: Duh silly, a sword! I want a cool sword thingy!
Morgana: horror stricken at the thought of dumb Guen being let loose with sharp objects, grabs a nearby stick
Morgana: Here! Behold the mighty Stickscalibur! It’s for you, but be careful, it’s very special.

Ooo maybe leader Guen could get a new personal knight that they pick themselves. And then a Guen that likes fashion could get like a magic tiara or ring maybe a cool cloak!

But we already have Lance who’s pretty much our knight in shining armor and I feel focusing on just knights are a bit drab. I’d rather have an assassin of some sort for ‘political intrigue’.
The assassin could then help form the spy network along with leader Guen, allowing her to either help Arthur’s rule by being a force from the shadows by doing the wetwork required or Guen could later use them against Arthur. The spy network itself doesn’t need to be fill with nobles, in fact servants and commoners are better fitted for being spies so that’ll be the reason why they aren’t neccessarily loyal to Arthur. Servants and commoners are more easily paid off after all and if one actually tries to tell the truth, Guen could just deny everything. The word of the Queen would always hold more weight than a mere commoner.
Gameplay-wise other than the extra choices presented, @jeantown could also slip in a report from the network on occassion (for example learning of an ambush beforehand or getting an early tip about supply prices going up so the Guen can stock up on supplies before that). I think it provides a different type of gameplay that better suits the leader Guens out there.

I believe this will work better for @jeantown if such a character was your batman or batwoman (as in personal bodyguard/right hand person) then some lower base retainer, as a person in your personal household, it would be easier to establish the type of relationship between the MC and the character that is being discussed.
They can still be an assassin/political schemer/whatever as you talk about eloquently but it would be more feasible and within the worldverse as shown so far to place them within the MC’s household.

[misreads the first part of your post and pictures Guen dressed as an Assassin, parkouring around Camelot and jumping into piles of hay to hide from guards] … I want that.

I could see a problem (it is just me nitpicking)
Following your line of thought means there is an established relationship there between Guen and the person even before Guen married Arthur. If so some might question “Why aren’t this person introduced earlier?”
But other than that I don’t mind them being from anywhere and I trust in @jeantown when it comes to building a believable origin regardless. I just like the idea of supporting Arthur without him knowing by doing the wetwork that he would never do due to his honor. It’s an interesting dynamic: the light and shadow of Camelot ruling together.

Is it bad that in my non-serious moments, I can almost picture one of Morgana’s sons coming up to her saying, “Momma, why would someone write something bad about Uncle Lancelot?” “What do you mean?” “I was in the privy, and written on the wall was a rhyme, 'There was a young knight named Lancelot, whom the people all looked askance a lot…”

If Guen’s an assassin then who’d be the Templars? Arthur? Lol.

Well, by golly, don’t stop there! 
…oh no, my brain is now making up the rest of the limerick… 
…I had no idea…

It is a pretty old limerick, so I assumed most English speakers knew it. The last three lines would go with:
Whenever he’d pass
A presentable lass
The front of his pants would advance a lot…"
Considering bathroom vulgarity was done even back in Roman times (ruins of Pompeii showed it), so assuming there was a privy I would assume something would happen.

Well, English is my second language, though. 
Thanks for sharing, good one.

Probably depends on country of origin for English speaking in terms of popularity I’ve lived in a few states and limericks aren’t really well known. There are a couple but I’m fighting a cold thinking of specifics is a bit beyond my capabilities at the moment.
