Ok, I'm starting my Let's Play of King of Dragon Pass.  You can put the knife down, Blaze.

For those who don't know, I was recently gifted this game by Blaze in exchange for doing a Let's Play of it.

So, the goals of this LP are both to save my humble tribe and yours truly.  Course, I can still keep living even if my tribe goes kerplunk... :P

I've already decided unilaterally almost all the settings, but I have three choices for you, the readers and fellow tribesfolk!  And I'm totally not just soliciting reader input as a way to delay actually starting this LP!

1) How did our ancestors treat dragons?  Followed them like fools, Ignored them, Argued with them, Tried to kick their asses like fools

2) Earliest Famous Event.  Most events boost leader stats.  Since most skill tests compare to the leaders in our ring, assume that if you vote to boost leaders in something, it basically means we'll do better in those areas of the game.  Or we can support more crafters, which makes it easier to support more shrines and get the permanent blessings of more Dieties, which is also awesome.

Battle of Extinguished Field: leaders are above average in Combat
Hundred-Day Hunt: leaders are above average in Animals, Combat, and Plants
Jested's Settlement: leaders are above average in Bargaining.
Procession of the Animals: leaders are above average in Animals.
Barntar Harnessing the Oxen: leaders are above average in Plants.
Ernalda Visits the Hidden Place: leaders are above average in Magic.
Lhankor Mhy Learns to Use the Marking Bone: leaders are above average in Custom.
The First Pot: we can support more crafters than usual.
The Clan-making Dance: leaders are above average in Leadership.

Custom is basically the legal system of our people.  Oxen are wealth, so Animals is also good.  Everything else is more-or-less self explanatory, but feel free to ask questions.

3) Short or Long game.  Just as it sounds.  Short game means we need to form a tribe, rule it for 10 years, and perform three heroquests.  Long game means forming a tribe, a long-winded series of adventures and seven heroquests.  I'm only confident that I can finish the short game, but I'm certainly willing to try the long game if people want.  Losing is a completion also.   ;D

Summary of the game: Short version, without offending our tribesfolk, we're a bunch of barbarians trying to form a civilization from the ashes of the past.  It's not offensive because the game manual also describes the human inhabitants of Dragon Pass as being barbarians.  Oh, and we worship the God of Lightning, which is pretty awesome.
These LPs better showcase the awesome that is this game: here & here

And here is an empire we should seek to exceed:

3) Long (we can always quit halfway)

Yay ninja followers!  Poll added on the dragon issue (I find polls on 7+ items rarely work out, and I'm not doing the long game for the anonymous masses).

I should probably point out that actually following the dragons is suppose to help in the long quest, but anyone who's gone through character creation would be leery of it...

Well, three way tie for Dragons, and I'd like a little more input on the Earliest Event (although I'm fine with First Pot).

I'll probably start this in a couple days, when things settle a bit.  And I have time, that too...

Pot and Hunt are tied.  Tiebreaker anyone?

Oh, and did everyone that posted a dragon preference also vote in the poll?  If not, vote in the poll so all the votes are in one place.

Alright, game start incoming shortly!

It Begins!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Enjoy all the pretty faces of our current tribal counsel, because that's the first thing we're changing once I allocate magic!
Remember, if you have an opinion on magic allocation, let me know.  I don't expect the next update till tomorrow, and that will probably be "Meet our nobles", where we set our starting ring.

How I plan to run this LP: This game has A LOT of decisions to be made, thus consultation on every one would be impossible if we want to finish this ever.  On the other hand, most decisions either need to made regularly (like allocating magic), or create an ongoing situation (you'll get the hang of this after seeing a couple events, and can see one now with the poor expected harvest).  So, community input on the overall situation can always be implemented.  If the community wants an action, even if I did the opposite, the game will more likely than not give an opportunity to make that action or similar action that the community wants.

It's hard to understand, but perhaps those who've played this game can comment as well.
