-Can I use war parties against trolls? How would I go about that?
I certainly would not recommend single combat with a troll! Make your war party, treat the troll as an opposing war party.

What does that mean for the Troll-Killer?

Well, hotdamn, Johnstone!  You're so good at pushing my buttons, I think I'll have to run this game!

The only thing is, when the right is denied, that support and respect is more or less ignored.  This happens in the fiction—the usurper dismissing the lord's proper place—but it also occurs mechanically—the people who recognized you as their proper lord are suddenly looking the other way and making embarrassed coughing noises. All the support and respect implied by the fictional positioning is revealed as completely useless and ineffective.  Which seems weird.

Well, yes, that would be weird.  I don't think when a right is denied it is denied by everyone.  The rebel denies the Liege Lord's right, but why would that mean his supporters, do too?

Which got us to thinking—what if rights are specifically bestowed by their domains?  When they are denied, the "gods are angry" option is replaced by "the bestowing domain is angry."  So if you trample on the ancestral right and title to rule a stronghold, the ruler might declare that the people are revolting against the usurper's misrule.  If you disrupt somebody's good investments, then the Wider World gets angry at you for disrupting trade.  If your right to lead worshipers gets denied by your domineering liege lord, the Old Ways might surface to teach him a lesson in respect and humility.  If you prevent your war-leader from sending out scouts, War gets angry with you, which doesn't bode well for the battle you're about to fight.

This also puts a little more flavor into the fiction, so not just the gods get angry at the abused rights, but the Land Itself and the Other World and all sorts of juicy goodness.

It seems to me you are creating gods for the domains, one or more, for each, and I like it.  They might be powerful spirits or demi-gods, thus allowing for a great and jealous monotheistic god, and pantheons rich with many greater and lesser gods, or they might be the only true gods, which could be worshiped in divergent ways among many different peoples.

Thanks for pointing that out!  I certainly did! 

Interested parties and individuals, please go to the real GotEXP!

While Kill for the Greater Good is obviously a locally given right, I don't think the Right to Consult The Other World is something given on this world.  I think attempting that that without the Right would be more akin to praying to a god that just doesn't listen to you.

I'm sure there could be scenarios made where those are not true, but they seem like the most plausible takes to me.

Here are a couple Peoples that I created to get things rolling in a PbP playtest:

People:  The Lowen
A Native American analog.
This is the local people and majority in Lowa.
They are short and wiry with red~brown skin, straight black hair and brown eyes.
Defined By:  Being native to the Bay of Lowa area, worshiping the same gods, they speak Algonquian, which those around them do not.  They also speak Greek.

A very vague classical Greek analog.

They are stocky, with olive skin, hazel or green eyes and curly, black hair.

They are tall and stocky, bone pale to peach pink in complexion with light~brown, blonde or red hair, and blue eyes.

E_FD, Vincent hasn't pulled the plug, yet, so we should be alright.  Also, GotEXP is pretty small.

Vondas, the wonderful thing about forums is if you need more, you just make more.  We've gotten such a great response, we're breaking it into 2 games; we'll make it 3 if we have to.  So, by all means, join in!

I see Denied Right as a move clarifying the fiction.  In effect, it's a prompt, which ought to help us create interesting situations when (not if) our Rights are denied.

Consider these examples of recourse: 

— You have the right to a boon granted, unbegrudged, within your hostess’ power and honor.

— You have the right to confront your betters for justice. When you do, treat it as winning them over, but roll
Strong instead of Good.

— You have the right to write your betters for aid. When you do, treat it as mustering warriors from among
them, but roll Wary instead of Bold.

— You have the right to command others’ assistance, at your word, wherever you go.

— You have the right to demand and require someone to bring themselves forth to appear before you.

— You have the right to give justice to the people within your holding and your protection.

— You have the right to impose law on the villages under the stronghold’s protection.

— You have the right to slay whom you must for the protection of all.

The move is forcing your hand, forcing you to state your intentions.  I would hope that would set things into blessed motion!
