So, when I foraged for fruit I found nothing?

That's correct:

[1]-1 (H) The Gatherer is not finding anything on their chosen route that hasn't been picked off by the animals, luckily The Adepts spots something.

Wasn't that from the previous turn?  I'm confused.

Please make an effort to see if your questions are answered within the last update, especially the journal entry, or the Roles tab where I have summarized many things specifically for ease of reference. (Also if you can point these answers out to each other) There was some feedback earlier that some things were unlcear, but I have since made great efforts to make all information easily available...



Quote from: Glass
If you cook food, does it stay poisoned, or does that go away?

Quote
-poison food, 1/3rd chance of death on consumption. (PM to do this)
-spoiled food will create poisoned food when cooked.
Quote
Note: The same penalties that apply to cooking spoiled meat will apply to human meat.

• The last update was Oct 11th (my birthday! :) and the action phase began.
• Oct 13th the action phase was extended 24 hours for TricMagic to join the game.
• Oct 14th the action phase ended and the hunger phase began.



Quote from: a1s
You said human meat might be poisonous. Is this batch for sure poisonous?
Also, why is it poisonous in the first place- eating human meat is a long standing tradition in some places and it's usually fine.
Yes, that's correct. I said it 'may' be poisonous, so I am going do a coin flip to see if each individual piece of human meat is poisonous. That's 1/2, then if it is a 1/3 of dying.

As A_Curious_Cat pointed out, people didn't live much in caves, yet you are playing as cavemen. You can consider this a low fantasy setting. I'm really not troubled with the realism but rather the team gameplay. Human meat being dangerous is a trope and I'm using it in this game.

Thank you guys for doing a great job mentioning what trades and items you are consuming(I didn't ask for it but it's extremely helpful!).

Just under a day left, I'm assuming TricMagic you meant to eat food and not throw it away? I'll remove the tallies for you.

// Gatherer:
/ Cook:
// Elder: Ceremonial Mask, 1 Fruit
Hunter:
Crafter: 1 Rock Shard
Communal: 1 Rock Shard, 4 Human Meat, 2 Dried Fruit, 1 Dried Meat


Alright in regards to editing, that's fine so long as no one posts after you.

I'm sorry, I'm going to drop out. You said that this was a proof of concept for a tabletop game you came up with, and it's fine for that, but here on the forums, it goes too slowly and is too restricted to be much fun.

I can 100% see enjoying playing this IRL with some friends, but it just doesn't work as a forum game.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

While I don't care for your dramatic explainer in the game thread Glass, thanks for letting me know.

Start of Summer

5 Turns Survived
10 Turns Until End of Winter


The world has cast off the lingering cold haunt of Spring. The Eye of Wrath burns hotter, and hotter each day. The sounds of nature are more alive than ever. The grazer bucks at The Lake cry out a challenge to rival males, the large flyers roost at The Cliff, and a plethora of other wild sounds resonate from The Forest.
[2]+Tutorial Failsave
It is amidst all this life, The Tribe encounters more death. The Cook has died in their sleep. The Elder simply explains that sometimes some are called off to join the ancestors early. The Crafter observes the well used tools left behind. A drying slab and a stone mortar & pestle. Simple enough utensils, though the cooking technology that uses them would take some reverse engineering to even begin to use them competently. The Hunter heads out as The Elder and The Gatherer discuss things. The Gatherer seemed deathly ill this morning, but after coughing up some of the human meat, they recovered, but are all the more hungry.
[2] +1 The Hunter has a hazardous encounter with two sparing bucks. Luckily they were more focused on each other. The Hunter limps back to The Elder to tend to the injuries with no food from the hunt.
[1] [3] -1 +1 The Gather managed to find some places less harvested by the heard, and brings back 3 Fruit.
The Crafter finishes a Woven Basket. (gained 1 Weaving research token)


Summer is the time of plenty. All consumable gathering rolls will grant +1.

The Crafter learned 2 cooking technologies: dubious drying and dubious cooking. All skills of The Cook can now be used, but food prepared has has 3, 1/2 flips of being destroyed per batch.

The Crafter will now gain a prototype object in addition to completing any new revision or design. If there are requirements, the previous model or similar item can be used in most cases.


Corpses of Tribe members will now be retained if accessible. The Hunter can convert a human corpse into human meat as a free action during any phase. The corpse will be disposed of after 1 turn.

Tutorial Failsave modifier from Spring has ended, and death rolls are now possible.




Hunger Phase

The last offering to the ancestors did not bring with it a message. But The Elder perceived the gift was accepted as a grand gesture. There was however the insight that meals should be held earlier, before planning, so that such wisdom when it comes can be better taken advantage of. /+1 human meat applied to next ceremony./


You have 48 hours.
Eat or Go Hungry.

I think we are supposed to take a / away if we eat. I have made sure that there was 1 less for those who are eating. I would suggest the gather eat 1 more food and dry the fruit(which might require the crafter).
