Alright, new materials:

<Snipped quote by DX3214>

Thanks :)

Glad you pointed out to me the unlikelihood they'd cross a mountain range in winter months. This new arrangement is more believable.


I just found it odd how a nomadic group would march east instead of north since the plains keep on moving also thanks.

Good idea, I didn't think it was possible though. Sounds very cool

Maybe wait until later in the RP, you seem to be the guinea pig :D


*nibbles on wood chips in my gerbil pen*

Hmm? You were saying something? :P

@Admiral Jesus Generally people need to post their CS in the OOC to be approved.

@Dark CloudPerhaps they're from the Discord or something and learned of the RP somehow other than the Int Check (old player from previous versions that quit?), there seems to be a lot that goes on there that we don't know about

@Admiral JesusI like the species, don't think the GM will have many problems with it (don't quote me on that, though, we have just begun the game), but it is etiquette to post it in the OOC first if you are new.

@rezay I like that migration, I see no problem with how much they have explored. If anyone, nomads are certainly the ones who would know about large swathes of land from the beginning :D

As for population, I'm still deciding if it should be an actual data or just handwave it. So yeah, that one is up in the air for now. Not that it's too relevant. I imagine populations for most races are about 100 at max, no more.

@6slyboy6Handwaving is fine, especially for our purposes. 100 is about the size of a typical hunter-gatherer band, so that seems perfect. In more tropical places, sedentary civilization with low/no agriculture (hunter gatherer lifestyle) would be feasible because there are more food resources laying around. Also less incentive for large-scale agriculture. Somewhere like the grasslands or more temperate/colder forests not so much.

If there are any river basins with populations of animals that would be iseful to domesticate and warmer but not tropical climates, that's probably where agriculture happens first.

Not that that much consideration needs to be taken, working with non-humans can certainly be different.

That one to the southeast* of the mountain range comes to mind, and the adarnians.

@rezay There's not really any tropical areas on the island itself, apart from a TINY little bit at the south-east tip, so anywhere is fair game I'd say haha.

@6slyboy6Yes, my bets're on the skittermander and adarnians, followed by the gannor and takhal, followed by the sobek (acquiring agriculture). Unsure where mushrooms decide and if they won't be extinct long-term, hehe

Also unsure of where deposits of copper are located (obviously, takhal haven't discovered it, but I'm not sure where it would be on a meta level). I don't think that needs to be worked out super far, but for most metals maybe somewhere close to or in the mountains

Or, we will find out. Not to incite metagaming

@rezay I have a super secret map with ore overlays for copper, tin and low quality iron ore. No coal, since historically charcoal has been used far more until the industrial revolution.

But generally speaking, I imagine that the first bit of metal people will get will be from smaller outcrops of metals or them being washed downstream and getting caught in strainers.

@6slyboy6I see— the adarnians will be the most likely to discover it at some point, then (speaking of those in close proximity to rivers, in my estimation). Maybe the takhal in the right place and time. More likely that will happen through trade

It fits the adamians to be the first to discover it, getting rich off of trade of newfound supermaterial would be in line with their decadent trait

Very cool

@Dark Cloud Since the others on discord can see it there, here is a non-official copy of the map (with people's starting positions) currently until Nis gets the official stuff up:

Just something i realized.

Shrooms are fun, but considering the amount of herculean peeps and shrooms. Shouldn't shrooms have regeneration? I dunno, that's what i would have gone for.
But it's up to you.

Another thing, not towards the shrooms but they brought it to my attention.
You noted them as "Never stopping to grow." hinting at eternal life unless killed. I suppose this might be me misinterpreting things but as part of a 0 point trait it would be rather crazy seeing how i paid -2 trait points for ancient while also describing my guys as never stopping to grow. But it's probably not how you intended it @Crusader Lord.
More importantly, this raised a question for me.

The standard age was like 60? Right? At 60 (or whatever standard age is) you grow old. But humans as an IRL example doesn't just keel over and die at 60 and frequently reach 80 and often come close to 100.
Does that mean that my Sobek simply reach 'pension' age at 300 and then are seriously old (80) at the ripe age of 400 and at 500 years old would be like a 100 year old human?

This will affect the age of the Sobek elder. Since he's supposed to be old.

@Klomster I'd say yes on the Sobek age. If he can live that long, then he should be really friggin old haha

As for @Crusader Lord race, well... I imagine they can keep growing forever, but a lot more like regrowing stuff and growing to a certain size, not necessarily forever forever haha. And those traits are also really handicapping people by their people being really slow, and the shroom people need to eat a lot. So I imagine they would be terrible fighters haha
