This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Parenthood: Corwin

Corwin is one of the few Amberites that we get to see, firsthand, as a parent in the novels. So we have some idea what his parenthood style will be all about: and largely, it will be all about his own self-aggrandizement.  Corwin will clearly be desperate to prove the necessity of all his crappy choices to his kids, and make sure they realize he was the good guy; not the "spotless" guy, but he sure seems determined to prove to Merlin that he was the protagonist of the family story; and he's quick to "tell it like it is" to the kid about all the rest of the family, airing all the dirty laundry... or rather, all the dirty laundry about the family members he doesn't like.

How do you think this would all play out with his other kids besides Merlin? What other aspects would a Corwin parenthood imply to a PC?
