@Dead CruiserDon't sweat it, no reason to ignore your health over playing make-believe with strangers online :P

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

@AdorableSaucerI might have to pawn that map off you though, I thought it was great. *Just kidding, of course

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

@AdorableSaucerHehe. No offense to @Chenzor, it seems like a good concept, but I haven't even even played a game, I wouldn't be qualified to run one of it (a whole new incarnation). Suppose that could be said of NRP as a whole, but remains to be seen
Think I'll develop my own system for things in that case. Maybe it'll be a disaster, but fun nonetheless. I have enough experience running other RPs to make something work, probably...

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

@AdorableSaucerDamn. Sucks, but I understand. Good luck with your other RPs. Appreciated the correspondence you gave, it was very good.
Maybe I'll try running something like this. Haven't been here long, but this seems like a good idea still. I have some ideas to take away from this, at the very least

<Snipped quote by rezay>

I'm sorry but I have to raise my hand at this. This kind of sounds like meta-game justification of something to give you a boost in game. Every other faction either has super limited agriculture or none at all and here Jericho has full operational farms with a variety of livestock animals? This sounds like a human faction bonus and not a starting condition. This is to say nothing at the starting wealth of knowledge they have because of this magically well protected library or "passed down knowledge" which would likely put their starting tech ahead of everyone else.

@ClocktowerEchos

I'm not trying to receive any bonuses. I'm really considering*/definitely going to do a retcon of the sheet (really a nerf of NJ, it sounds like), because I was confused about the state of agriculture. The same things could be applied to the MDR (in regards to books), I'm just asking the GM what's possible. I'm completely fine with things being denied for the purposes of balance, but there does seem to be some confusion over to what extent agriculture is a thing.

Does seem inopportune now that RP's begun, though, I'll provide

Again, I specifically pointed out they could all just be the descendants of businessmen (not a useful skillset in the post-apocalypse), that's a very potent justification for why they're on the same level as everyone else. Literally no motive for anything of that sort.

I'm just trying to find a way to make my concept work with what the GM wants, and that means asking questions. Frankly, I'm not deciding anything, the GM is. I have zero control over these things, I don't understand how talking things out has some ulterior motive

*The proposition for a library was that the bunker-dwellers might have saved some books from the apocalypse. Again, left up to the GM to decide if it happened or if it did if there's anything useful or if there was if said books are still in existence. Given that was before agricultural stuff, I didn't realize how set-back things were. Error in my interpretation of the IP

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

On an important note, to avoid too much work (I understand, I've run many RPs in different formats, as previously demonstrated I'm knew to the forum type), you might want to borrow from existing IPs, partially anyways. Fallout seems like an attractive option, particularly. I've done similar things before. Radstags and brahmin and the such. Mutfruit, corn (something like the variety I wrote about), tatos, etc.

*My advice is my own opinion, of course, take it or leave it. But I would appreciate some idea in just how developed agriculture is. From the way it sounds, I imagine somewhere around the fallout games? Maybe a bit behind?

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

Jesus, y'all got a lot of questions. Don't even know where to start with these, but I'll try...

Immediately regarding the gunpowder question - no, @rezay, I doubt the knowledge of how to make gunpowder has been passed down through time. It'll have to be rediscovered.

Regarding the Wastes: There are villages and traders out there who can help you transport your goods for you and help you turn a profit, like with the Silk Road. These will have to be discovered using actions.

A good deal of the questions you all have asked are solveable using actions and turns. With time, if the universe is in your favour, you will acquire all the goods you want and need, no problem. But allowing people to start with various goods wouldn't work all that well in a numbers game like this.

@ClocktowerEchos Pop growth is a loose, non-realistic mixture of immigration, natural growth and not as much die-off. Can't describe it better than so.

Gotta admit, you guys are asking lots of questions about stuff I had never thought of. Starting to think I may have overestimated my capabilities.

@AdorableSaucer

This makes me sorta want to remake my faction, I didn't seem to communicate some things well in the sheets, current and previous incarnations. Or, have a huge retcon anyways.

*The thing is that the Jerichians are supposedly the descendants of the wealthy of the old world. My justification was that among them there would have been people who knew chemistry, or had careers around that field, and had knowledge of how to make some things. That's fine if it's not feasible, I'm sure they'd mostly be business people anyways.
