Huddled around a small fire the people of the tribe tremble. Terrible beasts stalk the night. Each one wonders if they will survive long enough to ensure their soul's survival. They all know at least one of them won't.

What is this game:
You will play as a member of your four person tribe. The original members of the tribe will be human. Your goal is to survive as long as possible in a world designed to kill you unfairly and often. The land you live in is harsh and full of dangers. Monsters, rival tribes, deadly plants, and a whole host of other dangers await. You will surely die. But that's not the end of your story! Players will be able to fuse souls with each other and create more members for their tribe. A dead player may take over any unoccupied tribe member.

How the game works:
You get one action per turn. This action can basically be anything. It will likely relate to surviving, making new tribe members, researching magic, or exploring.

The original players will all be human, but perhaps you will find love in unexpected places. Offspring are created by the fusion of two souls. However, magic and random chance can affect the outcome. The genetics system is probably the most fleshed out aspect of the game.

This game uses the d20 system for risky actions, but a good deal of actions will auto-succeed. I'm posting it forum games because this is less of a roll to dodge and more of a forum game because you completely control your character. Good RP means bonuses to rolls. If you're trying to be convincing, then you actually have to be convincing. There wouldn't be roll for that.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1-3: You fail your action horrifically.
4-6: Failure
7-9: You mostly fail, but succeed some aspect of your action.
10-14: Success.
15-17: Better success.
18-20: Extra success. You get some kind of bonus.
>20: Critical Success. The stars align and you succeed beautifully.

About the world:
Magic does exist. You cannot start with any knowledge of magic. You will start with a hut, this is the only safe area. Beyond that, the world is strange, mysterious, and dangerous.

A genetic condition can be any sort of genetic condition that is experienced by humans. Its just an extra thing I threw on there in case someone wanted to throw some bad news into the genepool.

Question, does gender affect soul merging?

[Spiderking50]

Nope. Soul merging is equal opportunity.

Just a heads up: The day is still going on and if you're included in my post then you've already done your daily action (but RP between characters is encouraged). I'm just putting that out there now (as opposed to the end of the day) because something crazy happened. Sometimes, especially with monsters, you may get a reactionary move like run away, but that doesn't really apply to this.

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

Do you have more room for another player spidering? I know Im already part of one of your other games but this seems very fun and id like to join.

[Spiderking50]

Yeah sure, I know you're going to make a good addition. Make a character and wander into camp. Whether the other players let you stay is up to them.
