RULES:

• In this game you take control of a post-apocalyptic community attempting to build itself up over the course of one year, before the mysterious Frost Shepherds arrive to end the game. The goal is to rebuild the community through creative responses, and to survive!

• Every turn represents two months. The Frost Shepherds will arrive in the second winter - You need to be prepared!

• There will be eight seasons total.

• During each turn, a player draws a card. The characters discuss which response to answer, and turn in an answer. This answer will develop what happens to the community over the years.

• You can also submit an action for the community to take every round! This shouldn't be overly complicated*, and you can't magically make up resources - You'll need to rely on what you've got, and your answers to the cards.

• Drawing a card: Every card contains information and choices you can make. Here's an online card shuffler you can use.

Only draw the suit of cards that matches the season:
Hearts = Spring
Diamonds = Summer
Clubs = Autumn
Spades = Winter.

Do not repeat cards! If you get the same card twice, re-roll.

• Failure to build defences against the Frost Shepherds, improve the community or make all resources necessary for survival abundant by the last round will land you in trouble.

*If it is, you might not like where the action goes.

Your runner is Rikki.

So we're answering the question and we get to take an action too?

I say we discover something new, since there's not a lot going on. Otherwise I'd say the lake would be the most beautiful thing in the area.

That's fine. What can we discover that would help us, though? What do we still need at this point...?

Food? I mean, we have prey animals but that doesn't seem like it's enough if food is still scarce for us.

We could find a way to hunt them, I suppose. Or something to farm the land.

[or just dig up a convenient bunker of food]

[interjecting] Well, we should see how we can use the card to our advantage, yes?

((ooc: sorry for late!!))

[wow she just fucking. shuts down. at that.]

Diz isn't here. We'll deal with it.

We use the lumber to build weapons and farming tools, or we start taming the animals as a food source. Your choice.

Fine, let's tame some animals.

"The most beautiful thing in the area is an orchard in the newly explored forest, full of thriving fruit trees."

Something like that, I presume.

It's actually a choice between questions, which we can answer any way we want.

The most beautiful thing in the area is an orchard in the newly explored forest, full of thriving fruit trees. Which our new neighbors are happy to give us access to.

We set out to domesticate the prey animals as a food source.

[ignore my typing/editing failure apparently we drew the nine]

We're not ruining the food we just got. The problem is...cloth. It's been damaged by mold. So we're scarce on clothes. [wham bam thank you ma'am.]

For our action, I suppose we should start mining the salt...it'll be useful for something, I'm sure.
