Hello and good evening once again, /tg/! It's time for your regularly schedualed civilization quest, new and improved Copper Age edition!Previous thread is archived here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20470955/Sadly, I'll have to beg your indulgance for about 15 minutes, as your GM hasn't had dinner yet. Far better I get that out of the way first. Show of hands, who's ready?
Fuck yeah!Civilization Game!
My brain is ready.
>>20510497I hope that you not gonna defecate everywhere and sodomized boys mister Secundus.
I'm back and you cannot stop me!
>>20510525Just because I have a rep doesn't mean I can't enjoy a civilized game. I promise to leave my hobbies at the door and take them with me when I go.
I'm pretty sure I have indigestion, but whatever, let's do this!As the tribe gathers for a celebration, everyone is excited by the prospect of letting off some steam. After all, you have a lot to celebrate this year!Turn ReportPopulation: 71 (57 elders and children)Food: 7/15Morale: 12/15Known Food Sources: Large deer herd, fishing river, wild fruit trees and bushesKnown Resources: Tall timbers (5 days away), Clay (2 days away)Technology: Flint spears and knives, advanced stone and wood tools, travois, hide-working, fish-spears, clay pots, crude cold-weather clothes, crude rafts, serviceable bows, copper toolsScience: Family wisdom, basic natural lore, crude wound care, basic food preservation, basic navigation, crude map-makingArchitecture: Pit-huts, basic carpentryCivil: Family guidanceCulture: Family stories, bone trinkets, heroic reverence, spirit worship, Crude InstrumentsA chill has started to creep into the air, as the leaves on the trees are changing colour.Known LandmarksA river beside the villageRapids downstreamFlowing fruit tree gladeBerry bush thicketWolf OakOpen grasslandsDistant mountains
RANDOM EVENTWhile going to fetch food for the celebrations, one of the tribe discovers something strange. He's found, passed out in the food store a while later. Once he's woken up, he claims that one of the jars the fruit was stored in had some kind of potent juice in it. When he drank it experimentally, it tasted and made him feel really good! After a while though, he passed out and can't remember anything. He complains of a headache and goes to lie down somewhere quiet...EVENTThe salmon run seems a bit late this year, but the river is once again over-flowing with tasty fish!Before the festival starts, Rina comes to the heads of the tribal families, bringing up a point. Will the tribe give offerings to Chani, Hrunti, or both in this celebration? And if they do, what would be offered?A) Give offerings to ChaniB) Give offerings to HruntiC) Give offerings to bothD) Do not give any offerings.If the tribe wishes to give offerings to a god, they must specify what they wish to give.
>>20510679C) Give wolf man some weapon (stone knife i guess) and some bone trinkets for river lady.
>>20510710Seconding this. Also, our tribe has now discovered booze.This can only end well(lie).
>>20510710Thirding this.
>>20510679C give offerings to both
Hrunti and Chani both receive their offerings well. Hrunti in particular seems pleased with the stone knife, accepting it at his shrine in the forest.Turn ReportPopulation: 71 (57 elders and children)Food: 7/15Morale: 12/15Known Food Sources: Large deer herd, fishing river, wild fruit trees and bushesKnown Resources: Tall timbers (5 days away), Clay (2 days away)Technology: Flint spears and knives, advanced stone and wood tools, travois, hide-working, fish-spears, clay pots, crude cold-weather clothes, crude rafts, serviceable bows, copper toolsScience: Family wisdom, basic natural lore, crude wound care, basic food preservation, basic navigation, crude map-makingArchitecture: Pit-huts, basic carpentryCivil: Family guidanceCulture: Family stories, bone trinkets, heroic reverence, spirit worship, Crude InstrumentsA chill has started to creep into the air, as the leaves on the trees are changing colour.Known LandmarksA river beside the villageRapids downstreamFlowing fruit tree gladeBerry bush thicketWolf OakOpen grasslandsDistant mountains
Action Points: TWOA) Send out scouts (specify direction)B) Send some hunters out to hunt game and catch fishC) Gather resourcesD) Have your wise ones research something (specify)E) Hold a cultural eventF) Craft specific objectsG) OtherH) Ask the elders for advice (No cost)
c) It's time to gather fruits yes?
>>20511017Set about harvesting some of those salmonand have our wise ones research more sustainable food sources i.e. cropsB and C
>>20511040B & D*
D.) See if we can't reproduce/find uses for the berry juice that made that one guy pass out.
>>20511048>>20511040This. We civilization now!
>>20511040Crop research cannot be conducted without actually having seeds and the like to plant. Sorry to say it, but this was announced in the first thread. Vote counted however,
>>20511034It's fall, so yes, there are fruits ready to be gathered.
>>20511114Oh, I thought we already had some seeds from earlier. My mistake. I suppose we should get some fruit so that we can later learn about crops.
A = North and C = salmon
rolled 2 = 2It looks like the tie between one of your actions isn't going to resolve itself. Thus, it's rolling time.1-2 Research the berry juice3-4 Harvest fruit5-6 Explore upstream (no concept of directions yet)
Your wise ones decide to very, very carefully look into the strange berry juice that managed to incapacitate the man who drank it. After a long time, they then inform the tribe of two things. First, the berry liquour is safe to drink! Second, they all would very much like it if the sun would stop shining quite so loudly, thank you.> Yes, I said that right.Your fishermen return with a bounteous haul of salmon! Their concerns over the run being late this year seem unfounded.Turn ReportThe cold winter has taken its toll on your tribe's more vulnerablePopulation: 69 (52 elders and children)Food: 10/15Morale: 12/15Known Food Sources: Large deer herd, fishing river, wild fruit trees and bushesKnown Resources: Tall timbers (5 days away), Clay (2 days away)Technology: Flint spears and knives, advanced stone and wood tools, travois, hide-working, fish-spears, clay pots, crude cold-weather clothes, crude rafts, serviceable bows, copper toolsScience: Family wisdom, basic natural lore, crude wound care, basic food preservation, basic navigation, crude map-makingArchitecture: Pit-huts, basic carpentryCivil: Family guidanceCulture: Family stories, bone trinkets, heroic reverence, spirit worship, Crude Instruments, Rough berry liquourSnow now blankets the land, lying heavy on the branches of the trees and upon the ground.Known LandmarksA river beside the villageRapids downstreamFlowing fruit tree gladeBerry bush thicketWolf OakOpen grasslandsDistant mountains
RANDOM EVENTThe chill, winter wind howls through the trees, driving before it a blizard of snow and ice. Not even the eldest in the tribe can remember a winter this harsh! No-body wants to leave their hut for any reason, but even so, people are starting to complain of never feeling warm and being constantly weary.What will the tribe do in the face of this harsh winter?A) Move everyone into shared huts, to keep more heat togetherB) Hunt down more animals, so that we can take their hides to wearC) Give everyone extra food! A full belly warms you nicelyD) Bank the fires high all over the villageE) Endure the cold. We won't let this best us!
>>20511573a mix of A and D would suffice
A and C
A and C.
>>20511573Ah, I should have been clearer. As this is a random event, the tribe can only chose to do ONE action in response. I know this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's for balancing reasons, mostly.
A
>>20511673Alright then, I think A would be the most effective way of surviving this.
So A.
>>20511594B
A is good.
The tribe isn't happy with the new sleeping arangements. No-one has as much privacy as they've gotten used to, but everyone accetps it as neccessary. Apart from A few cases of very numb toes, the tribe comes out of the harsh weather none the worse for wear.Action Points: TWOA) Send out scouts (specify direction)B) Send some hunters out to hunt game and catch fishC) Gather resourcesD) Have your wise ones research something (specify)E) Hold a cultural eventF) Craft specific objectsG) OtherH) Ask the elders for advice (No cost)
>>20511873H been a while might as well see what the people want
We should maybe look into improved housing and clothing so no one freezes next winter.Also defenses might come in handy soon.So F) Start building defenses (palisades with pointy sticks / bushes below them)D) Look into improving the housing situation. (Better suited materials, insulation, safe indoor fires, interior design like carpets)
>>20511933This.As i said in last thread. Fucking HUEG wall around village is what we need.
I'm tired of our weaker members dying to the cold. Let's see if we can get our elders to research better clothing techniques. Also, I'm starting to get worried that our neighbours downstream may see us as dangerous since they seemed scared last time we met. Perhaps researching weaponry would be a good idea?
>>20511933Actually. >>20511963 here, I change my second vote to defences, they will be more useful in the event that they try to attack us. So D - better clothing/housesand F - Defences
>>20511963we could always send people down with that food we promised since no one came to collect it, smooth things over and all that jazz
>>20511963>Our neighbors are scared of us. Let's research weapons.
>>20511873D better housing, and F dig firepits With clay bricks so as to keep the houses warm.
>>20512012Well the logic was, that if they were scared, they may act rashly and try some funny business. In such a case I think that it would be best if we weren't caught with our pants down. Which is why I changed the vote to defences, because they would probably help us better than weapons in that scenario and it would look less aggressive than making more/better weapons.
Your wise ones agree that the harsh winter has made it clear; your current homes are just not going to cut it. Using the new tools and carpentry techniques, the tribe is starting to build above ground completely. The new houses are also trying new rooves, with cut turf, rather than branches and leaves.Using the stock of timber, the tribe also starts to construct a mighty wall around the village. Even with copper tools, the process is long and labourious and the wall remains unfinished, for now.Turn ReportPopulation: 69 (52 elders and children)Food: 10/15Morale: 11/15Known Food Sources: Large deer herd, fishing river, wild fruit trees and bushesKnown Resources: Tall timbers (5 days away), Clay (2 days away)Technology: Flint spears and knives, advanced stone and wood tools, travois, hide-working, fish-spears, clay pots, crude cold-weather clothes, crude rafts, serviceable bows, copper toolsScience: Family wisdom, basic natural lore, crude wound care, basic food preservation, basic navigation, crude map-makingArchitecture: Turf-roof huts, basic carpentryCivil: Family guidanceCulture: Family stories, bone trinkets, heroic reverence, spirit worship, Crude Instruments, Rough berry liquourSnow now blankets the land, lying heavy on the branches of the trees and upon the ground.Known LandmarksA river beside the villageRapids downstreamFlowing fruit tree gladeBerry bush thicketWolf OakOpen grasslandsDistant mountains

My sleeping paterns have again been shit lately. Going to keep going though, never fear!
>>20512245We can use turf to insulate the houses! Stuff it in cracks and cover the floors, it'll keep the warmth in. ( that's D or F I guess? )
>>20512245A send scouts to the far bank and scout up and down in and maybe a bit inward you never know what we might find
>>20512274The turf-roof houses are already an upgrade. Don't worry about insulating it further, until you have some better materials.There will always be deaths in the winter. It's inevitable. With these upgrades, you can reduce how many however.
D) Get some indoor fires burning (safely).F) Get that wall done.
>>20512274This. Also continue to build wall around the village.
H) Do the Elders have any advice on how to help construct/ insulate our dwellings in a better way?
>>20512303 Seconding thisNext turn we should maybe scout some more.
>>20512303Sounds like a good idea.
>>20512303This
D let's get heating(fires indoors)F no point in having half a wall
>>20512376The tribe's elders do not have any advice on construction like this, no. The tribe has no tradition of building for them to draw upon. Their current greatest concern is the long-term survivability of the tribe. They are worried about the rate at which the tribe is growing and how the new blood can best contribute. Rule by the heads of families has served for a long time, but with more people, it is becomming unwieldy.
I' gonna go now, but when spring arrives, how about we go down and collect some big trees and fashion hollow-log canoes? Better than crude rafts, right?
>>20512656Will do, Anon.
The tribe's wise ones take advantage of the far less flamable turf roofing for the tribes houses, digging fire pits and lining them with clay within the new houses.The tribe continues to work on the wall. The great construction of upright logs is nearly finished now, but those among the tribe who are building are starting to report a lack of good, stright timber.Turn ReportPopulation: 69 (52 elders and children)Food: 9/15Morale: 11/15Known Food Sources: Large deer herd, fishing river, wild fruit trees and bushesKnown Resources: Tall timbers (5 days away), Clay (2 days away)Technology: Flint spears and knives, advanced stone and wood tools, travois, hide-working, fish-spears, clay pots, crude cold-weather clothes, crude rafts, serviceable bows, copper toolsScience: Family wisdom, basic natural lore, crude wound care, basic food preservation, basic navigation, crude map-makingArchitecture: Turf-roof huts, basic carpentryCivil: Family guidanceCulture: Family stories, bone trinkets, heroic reverence, spirit worship, Crude Instruments, Rough berry liquourThe snow has melted away, being replaced by the colours and life of springKnown LandmarksA river beside the villageRapids downstreamFlowing fruit tree gladeBerry bush thicketWolf OakOpen grasslandsDistant mountains
>>20512656Sadly, that'll have to wait until next week.I'm running on 4 hours sleep here, /tg/. I'm nearly nodding off at the keyboard. Last time I stay up until 4:30AM playing vidya.I'm truly sorry, but I really have to call it. the next thread will take place on THURSDAY at 4:30PM, EST.This is the second time I've had to do this. I promise you, it will be the last.
>>20512747Good night Britfag!
>>20512747Sleep well, OP. Thanks for this session.
