Drifting somewhere in the vast

Sooo, it's been a while since I wrote here about our RPG (or that I wrote in general), but I'm happy to announce that we. Finally. Made. It. To. The. End.

( I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me )

A quick warning: this and all following entries about DSA will contain minor and major spoilers for both volumes of the Königsmacher/Kingmaker-campaign and various important NPCs of DSA. If you ever plan to play it (I know chances for that are low on my flist, but still), be warned.

( the road so far )

While I absolutely adore the fact that we're roleplaying the Kingmaker campaign again, I absolutely resent the fact that this time, we're doing it with a group full of bragging smartasses, who - instead of helping you out - make you feel lousy and inadequate for not knowing things about etiquette among nobility or - something which will become important later on - medieval warfare.

And the thing is - the thing is: I hate it when people patronize me and try to make me feel dumb. The thing is also that I'd rather say nothing at all than risking stupid comments. But since I love this RPG campaign so much and need to play an active role in it, I need the background knowledge.

I'm already hunting down Wikipedia articles and stuff, but, y'know, since I have a lot of history buffs on my flist I thought I might ask: do you know good resources (links, books, anything) about said topics (etiquette, warfare), hopefully something that's easy enough for dummies and stays on the practical side of things (I'm not looking for strategical Sun Tsu like stuff, I need concrete information like which unit has which task/strength and is best used at which moment, etc.)?

Fandom: Das Schwarze Auge (DSA)
Rating: PG-13
Language: Deutsch/German
Einstufungen/Warnungen: angedeutete Prostitution, OC

Darian hat mit vielen getanzt: mit reichen Damen, unerfahrenen Jünglingen, frustrierten Hausfrauen, verstohlenen Adelsmännern. Am Ende ist es ein Beruf wie alle anderen. Einer, bei dem man schnell verschwinden kann.

Because I promised Lou to post the background story for my new character.

I know it's been ages since I did the last entry for this, but it just hit me today so I wrote part one of how the gameplay works.
