Friskdingon (Finsterforst II)
« on: August 13, 2013, 04:08:05 pm »

Friskdingon

It doesn't matter where you came from, we don't talk about that here- it's one of the unspoken rules. It is clear however, from your lighter constitution and uncalloused hands that where you came from, you weren't hunters or farmers. Still, you are determined to make it out here in The North. This clearing with a small river running past will be the beginning of your new home: Friskdingon.


What this is about and some basic Information

This is a reboot of This Game

With you there are about 40 other NPCs living in the Village. No Chief of the Village has been chosen yet.

Currency: 1 Gold = 10 Silver= 100 copper (though no metal is mined in the Village as yet, you still stick to old conventions)

Gameplay
You will be making a schedule for 10 years. There are a few actions you can do, and potential for other actions exist. Each person can
Claim fields - 1 year - making decent farmable land in such a forested area takes a serious amount of effort to clear the brush, etc.
Hunting/Fishing/Foraging - 1 year, basically ensures you have food for the year but not very profitable.
Farm - Farm any available fields. Output depends on total field size and number of people farming. You will spend 10 food per adult, 5 per child, and any excess will be sold based on economy.
Have baby - Matriarch only, takes 1 year. Remember the year - having many children is dangerous and taxing on resources. You can reliably have children up to age 35. Trying to have children between the ages of 35 and 50 has increasingly high chances of both not working at all, and causing you or your child to die.
Explore - Your character leaves town for 5 years to explore the surrounding lands and find out about the surrounding lands.
Raid - Spend a year Raping, Murdering, Pillaging and Burning any other people living nearby. Remember to bring along some friends. And prepare for angry folks getting back to you and Friskdingon.
Learn a trade - Your character leaves town for 5 years to learn a trade as an apprentice.This costs 1 gold. Example: Blacksmithing, pottery, milling, carpentry, etc...(only works of course if you know of any neighbours who have one or possibly already have one in the village. Feel free to ask about odd professions)
Build a basic house - 4 person-years. Builds something better than a teepee.
Logging - The land is rich with forests, so most timber is sold to traders. This is dangerous work but is a good way to earn coin for unskilled workers.
Other - I will allow reasonable actions and creativity, but they will be more heavily influenced by random numbers than set actions. Any "Official" action will be cataloged in the first two posts of this game.
You may perform any action as "instructive", in which case it will be undertaken at -1 skill level, but will also increase the chance people of lower skill (3 lower is best) level it up.

Other rules :
There are usually 5 notable dynasties alive at the same time (though many famous individuals don't belong to them), if one dies out a new one quickly rises to prominence (from the wait list)
You should not make the last member of your dynasty leave the Village of Finsterforst permanently. Doing is equivalent to resigning the game.
Your characters must always have food. If they do not, money will be spent at a current rate of 1 copper/food unit. This is dependent on the economy, so it is possible for your characters to run out of money/food and default to the "Hunt/Fish/Forage" action. A grown character needs 10 food units to avoid malnutrition.
Children are useless until age 10, but only consume half the food (5 units)
Children must either leave the household at age 30 or become the new patriach/matriarch. If they leave, they will provide money to the current matriach based on overall experience and health. Elders will be assumed to be retired.
You may designate any family member 20 year old and over as a new matriarch or patriach, if you do they will be automatically married to someone of the same social class unless you are willing to pay for a better class.
Skill level goes from 0 (never tried) through 1-2 (usually seen in apprentices), 4-5 (respectable professional), 7-8 (master) to a maximum of 10 (rare even in The South), with levels being exponentially harder to achieve the higher they are.

Please submit your families (that's 2 twenty-year-old adults and no children) and the plan for the decade.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Well this is awkward. :-\ I already have enough players for the game, so unless someone else wants to give you their spot, I'm afraid you'll have to go on the wait list.

I'd be okay with raising the player numbers to 6. But that's just me. My completed turn will be up in a few minutes.

Same here. I could help with the rolls as well (Not the writing) if you wanted the assistance.

Well... alright 8). But that does mean that turn processing will get 20% longer, and that we are 20% (not percentage points!) more likely to stall due to abandonment. ::)
Elk family is in, but it is the last one.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

For every trouble under the sun, there is an answer, or there is none.
If there is one, then seek until you find it.
If there is none, then never ever mind it.

I'll take you up on that. It just took me over an hour to do 1 familly (granted I was also thinking through the mechanics, but still)

Well uh... Maybe if a family dies out we should lower the player count back to 5 if it takes that long to do a thing.
