AMALTHEA/HENWEN

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.

Legends or weather patterns, is it? I would think a legend would be a better idea, but what?

How about, alarming weather patterns destroy a rock that was blocking a cave full of good stuff!

What kind of good stuff?
foxpas: (My fallback plan is a very large sword)

[personal profile] foxpas 2015-01-13 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe a legend of a fairy that brings good people food?

What if it's ghosts?

It's supposed to be disturbing, Citrine.

Oh, yeah! We need food!

... And... Takes food from bad people?

It's certainly plausible.

[THINKING.] Perhaps the ghosts of those who'd settled here before us. They might have warnings to give.

We do! I'm hungry.

[You two.]

More likely, a storm would divert a river...even if it causes flooding, it'll bring more fish and other prey animals to the area, wouldn't it?

[hi mom]

Wouldn't the flood damage our village though?
letstalk: (and let's go for a ride)

[personal profile] letstalk 2015-01-13 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What if everyone gets scared, though?

Not if we've used the remains of the fortress as a way to block the waters.

[personal profile] foxpas 2015-01-13 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
... Is that no good?
