The premise is simple. Post by post, we tell the story of a city, from vilage to town, from port to harbour, from fort to metropolis!
Everybody can post, but everybody can STOP anyone.v When you STOP somebody you are asking them to re-evaluate what they've just done for/to the city.
For Example:
Post #341: "...and so it was that the Tower Defense system was complete, and never again did Man look down on Kobold."
Post #342: "One day the whole town became vampires"
Post #343: "STOP. wait, what?"
It is meant to be used as a tool, an element you can choose to use in your campaign. It's been a while since I've played, so I won't be much help with the crunchy stuff (though I'll do my best).
I propose that the city use, for the time being, essential Core D&D 3.5 rules, since I'm yet to set hands on Fourth Edition. I also volunteer to do (in-game)yearly status reports.
The format for advancing the city will be as follows (this is also the first entry):
Advancement
Year first, Month third, Day fifth
Five families, bound together by generations of nomad camaraderie, arrive at the coast of River. On the other side of River they can see other, smaller men. These smaller men live in small, primitive adobe houses. Their society consists of three families, and they live off what few wheat they grow.
Some of the Small Men motion for the nomads to approach, three of the nomad families cross the rives, bringing their goats. The other two families stay on the other side and see how the Small greet the nomads as they come out of the river. They leave.
The Small's farm is on a valley that is surrounded by mountains. They had remained isolated until now, and are very good and compassionate with the stronger, tougher Nomad goat herders. After an unheard-of-variety-laden welcome feast, the tribes agree to live together, providing each other with their diferent foods, and taching each other the ways of their different lives.
And thus did the mingling of the races begin
Currrent Population
Small (farmers):
Three Men
Three Women
Four Younger Men
Five Younger Women
Two old men
Tall(Herders):
Three Men
Seven Women
Eight Younger Men
Three Younger Women
Cast of Characters
Nomad Chieftain, Flar: lvl 4 commoner, has three wives over the others' two. This gives him command and authority, things that he is accustomed to.
Small Elder, Yaku : lvl 2 commoner, wise old man. The Small ones look to him for advice, doesn't trust most nomads, tells everyone to "be wary of their young"
Small Leader, Tnaku: lvl 1 commoner, hardworking farmer and father thought of as defacto leader of the Small ones, but still subordinate to Yaku's judgment.
Additional notes
-As should be expected, Nomads are more heavily armed than the Small. They have nine spears, four throw-axes and four bows, and their arrows, of course.
-The Small also have slight means of self defense, with ten basic spears with which they occassionally scared wolves off with. They are only just beggining to understand new forms of weaponry.
-The Population statistics do not acount for the many children running around the place.
-For the purposes of our Initial Primitive stage, Younger equals "non-married".
-you can advance it as far in time as you can without being STOPped
-have fun
