 That name is really confusing. It makes it sound like its just harvesting usable skins, when its processing them...

Grained Grass milled makes interesting powder, called grain pollen.  Tribesman Roggan make substance he calls Grain from grain pollen and water.  Tastes good, but hard to get lots of grained grass.

Nets allow to take swimmers from river better.  Helps tribe to grow by lot.

Roar tamers (3+1 (Many Swimmers (Fish))) do good, many still run into wild when used to hunt or run off at night.  Some kill neighs despite attempts to stop them. <GM note: Partial taming results in a 4/6 chance of success if you attempt again>

Farthest hunters tell once more of wandering group.  This time, they use String Things to fire sticks at them.  Hunter and Neigh was killed.  Hunter body recovered, but Others took neigh body.  Tribesmen become angry at apparent other Tribe.  Chief calls for war.

Weapons:
Hit Thing - Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the Hit Thing definitely will. The latest invention by the famed innovator Uggmugg, this design is as simple as it is beautiful: a rock on the end of a stick tied together with vine wrapped around the two. Now you can hit things with the power of rocks and with the range of sticks. (Stick, Rock, Vine)
Pointy stick - A long stick that is three Longbones long with a sharpened rock tied on the end with vines,it can be thrown at anything running away or used to protect yourself from anything running to you,it should be used with the hit thing. (Long stick, Sharp rock, Vines)

Tools:
Hit Thing - See Weapons entry.
Sharp Rock - Sharpened rock good for cutting things. Made by rubbing and chipping the rock with other rocks. (Rock)
Rope - Wet Straws in water river a day long makes straws soft and easy to "braid".  You braid like "this and that" and make rope, like vine but stronger and longer vine. (Straw)
Pots - Container made from clay burnt in fire.  Base is flat and top open.  Helps store food.
Nets - A weave made from vines or rope that allows for better catching of fish.

Buildings:
Sleep Hut - A large hut made of leaning long sticks against a tree and tying them together with vines.  It is circular and has no floor covering. (Vines, Trees)

Technology:
New Bone System - A four part system for measuring items using bones.  The Bigbone is a bone equal in height to the tallest tribes member at the time of the system's creation.  The next step down is the Longbone, roughly the length of a man's leg  Smallbones are roughly the length of a foot.  Tinybones are the smallest unit of measurement, at about the size of an index finger.
Sharp Rock - See Tools Entry.
Pain Light - Bright light made by rubbing two sticks together among dry grass.  Very hot.  Cooks meat good.
Milling - Grinding down plants to a powder.

Weapons
String Things - A small rope tied between two ends of stick.  Used to throw small, sharp sticks.

Note: Previous turns had taken place over several generations, allowing for all kinks to be worked out over time (taming is still rolled for), as well as making multiple pieces of technology.  Now that you will be working over a much shorter period of time, things are a bit different.  Namely, the phases are being switched up a bit.  Namely, to the classic Design/Revision phase order, though unlike a regular arms race game, the lack of information upon the aggressors means that the list of their side is not fully filled out.  Known usage and scouting will fill out their profile as things go along.
For those who found this, here's a minor thing you may find interesting.  If you want a map, then you need to have the tribe gain the technology to make maps.

 I suggest Spear Throwers for now. All they are are sticks with a notch at one end that are then used to throw a spear further. Best of all, its just a stick.

 Farming is another thing we need sooner than later, along with finishing taming cats.


Name: Stick Thrower
Description: If we take long stick, put notch in end so that it can cup non-pointy end of pointy stick, hold notched stick and put pointy stick into notch, can we use notched stick to throw pointy stick farther, perhaps as far as other groups stick launchers
Resources: Pointy stick(many), big stick, sharp rock as tool

Name: Stick Thrower
Description: If we take long stick, put notch in end so that it can cup non-pointy end of pointy stick, hold notched stick and put pointy stick into notch, can we use notched stick to throw pointy stick farther, perhaps as far as other groups stick launchers
Resources: Pointy stick(many), big stick, sharp rock as tool

Also I suggest our hunters scout the enemy in small groups. Once we know where they live and how they eat we can start fucking with them.

[Sanctume]

My idea is having defense versus bow and arrow.
Propose:

Name: Thick Skin (armor: boiled leather)
Description: Animals skins cut to shape to our body using sharp rock, then put in water in pottery under fire make skin tough from sharp things.  Tie ropes on thick skin around body for protection.
Resources: Animals (Antler, Hairy Horn, Neigh) skin, water, pot, fire, rope.

Name: Hard Wood (armor: shield)
Description: Cut long sticks almost as tall as body, and as wide as body.  Tie sticks together with ropes, and Thick Skin, with extra rope to hold Hard Wood between me and other tribe's thrown sharp stick with String Things.
Resources: Sticks, Animals (Antler, Hairy Horn, Neigh) skin, water, pot, fire, rope.

+1 Yeah! To war!

[Funk]

Name: Stick Skin
Description: Take many sticks, cut so Tinybone wide and long, tie together with rope like net, tie round hunter.
take big stick make hole for head, remember leave breathy hole and see gap.
Now hunter strong like stick, stick string thing no pain now.

Resources: Sticks, rope, Sharp Rock.

[Asgarus]

Lookout platform
1. Use ropes and nets to bring big sticks and men onto tree..
2. Make platform by binding long sticks together
3. ?
4. Profit! See as if standing on high hill!

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Design Phase Result:

Name: Stick Thrower
Description: Long stick with notch in end that cups non-pointy end of pointy stick., Holding notched stick and put pointy stick into notch can make pointy stick go farther.  Hard to hit target often.  Hard to use from Neighs.
Resources: Pointy stick(many), big stick, sharp rock as tool

(note: Taming can be done on this phase, but at a slight penalty)
