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 Cycles.

Which question do we want to answer?

We could easily come up with something for the animals, I think.

What if our animal is aquatic, such as a shark, that might not be able to tread the land?

That might make fishing more difficult, though.

Is it such that we cannot fish for sharks?

I suppose we could, at that.

Let us fish for the sharks that haunt our lake!

But what is the other action that we should take together?

We could fish for sharks, but if you're also worried, we could say that they aren't a threat because we're taming them. Much like the pet kraken!

We could tame them, and then devour them as though they are our cattle.
unquailified: (get the fuck away from nageki)

Yes, that... that sounds fine. Let's do that.

It would be a good source of food in the end! Shall I answer?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] fairweatherfriend 2015-01-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Our animals of risk are the shark, and we are not at risk because we both fish for them, and as our action, we do tame them. The sharks have become our cattle.

[personal profile] listentomybardsong 2015-01-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
We're agreed, then. What sort of action should we take?

ANSWER
What natural predators roam this area? Are you safe?

There are sharks. They are not the safest of animals, but because of our fishing poles, we could make a point to fish for them and turn them into our food so that we can have dinner. We may not be safe now, but we intend to make things much safer for everyone.

ACTION
Shark taming.
