[TheRedwolf]

This is a game where you take the role of members of a tribe, and guide it through a rapidly changing world. There will be 3 threads, the main thread, the hunting thread, and the craftsmanship thread.
The hunting thread is for war, gathering and hunting.
The craftsmanship thread is for craftsmanship and such, and the main thread is for important decisions, and the overall status of the tribe.
Character Creation

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are Three types of Characters: Hunters, Craftsmen, and Elders. As you might guess, hunters hunt, and craftspeople craft, but elders can only vote on things, but their +1 counts for 1.5 of a vote.
Contrary to the names, not all hunters, hunt, and not all Craftsmen make objects. A herbalist that gathers plants would be categorized as a “hunter” while the healer he is delivering plants for would be considered a “craftsman”.
Characters are defined not by attributes, but by skills. A character starts with lvl 1 in a skill, I.e. (crafting): weaving, or (hunting): spear.
So a character would look like this:
Name
Gender
(category): skill

The rules for crafting and hunting are defined in their own threads.
The first day BEGINS! It is midsummer.

Tropical islands
Barbaric raiders

I made a similarly themed table top game, and coming from that perspective, I like some of your ideas: specialty threads, how elders work, eager to see it in play. Posting a character later.

I like the idea of living in the Tundra, but you've got to keep moving for it to make sense. You can't farm on permafrost.

Short clip from a tundra nomad documentary: https://youtu.be/Fjl5FUcn8c4

Kind of interesting

[TheRedwolf]

The Tundra has like a Inuit sort of flavor, the tropical has a Polynesian flavor, while the plains/badlands
Are modeled like the Apache or Navajo.
