Okay so this is my first ever try at hosting a Forum Game, I based it off of Skyguys Civilization Forum Game Like most of the other Civ Forum Games you can vote on what you want for you Civ to do you will start out in a beginning area you can spread out North, South, East or West The dice system will be like Skyguys 1: Failure for the vote with consequences 2-5: Something went wrong and hurts the progress of the vote 5-9: Did poorly but could've been worse 10-14: Did good but could've gone better 15-19: Able to do the thing you wanted 20: Perfectly done with some sort of added bonus Depending on how you vote if the vote ended in failure something opposite to what you wished for could happen but idk how it will work out ill play along to see what happens _________________ Range of Stability -4: Destroyed -3: Imploding -2: Collapsing -1: Unstable 0: Shaky 1: Stable 2: Solid 3: Sturdy 4: Utopia Stability is based off of Population, infighting, war, politics, happiness of the people with the government, and Religion ___________ Power Ranges 1: Tiny 2: Minor 3: Medium 4: Major 5: Greater Power 6: Super Power The more power you have the more votes you get, the Power range depends on the technology, knowledge, Military Strength, Population, and economics, so 1 vote for tiny and when you reach Super Power you have 6 votes __________ Some events will happen after 25 Rounds have passed so be prepared for some that might happen, but some of these events can also be caused by you but not all of them -Disease/Epidemic (Local/Region/Planet) -Drought/Dry season (Local/Region) -Fire (Local/Region) -Earthquake (Local/Region) -Volcano (Region/Planet) -Hurricane (Region) -Landslide (Local) -Famine (Region) -Resource Shortage (Region) -Animal Attack (Local) -Meteor (Planet) -First Contact (Planet) __________________ Round 0 Tribe: Spiecine Althio (just came up with a random name lol) Stability: Stable(1) Power: Tiny(1) Biological description The Spiecine Althio are a reptilian like species similar to humans, normally the species skin color is green depending on what sort of environment they live in it will change. Males have two horns on their head each one being different from other males while as females have one horn that is also unique to them, the species are Omnivores but mostly prefer to eat meat if they can get the chance to eat it, they have tails that are spiked and can be used as a weapon for them, the species prefers a bipedal stance, if they use the tail as a weapon then they sometimes use a quadrupedal stance (Sorry im just making some stuff up to give you an idea of what they are like) Description of the world There is magic in the world you can research spells, and magic weapons but be careful with creating things like that because if the vote fails depending on what sort of magic you tried to research it could hurt you in some way shape or form towards the West there are Forests, Towards the East there are grass lands, towards the South there is a desert and towards the North there is a Snowy mountain Range As we go along i will think more about what else i can add to the game i hope you all have fun  10 person limit also in the game there will be special leaders or people who can be born and they will know a new kind of magic or abilities that no one knows yet, or they will be very helpful with the development of your civ You can also either make a species into familiars to help out with your devlopment and you can make a contract with a Demon if you make a contract with one then if the roll is good then you can get out of sticky situations better but if it fails then whatever you tries to do with the Demon then they will do the opposite of what it was you wanted and make it worse. As i mentioned above if the magic ends in failure something happens what happens is that some sort of force will come after the researchers who tried to create something new and unatural |

Count me in! I'll send my guys northwest.
A tribe of about 150 Spiecine Althio follows its shaman, Kazar, to a land of hills and trees.
Do we all have basic shamanist magic at first, in addition to basic clothing and stone tools?

The sort of magic that all of the species can use is healing and fire the healing is really weak the healing can only heal minor injuries and the fire magic that the species can use is a fireball which you can also use for making fires or slightly damaging enemies, and right now yes there is a Shaman leader type system, as for clothing and tools the clothing is really basic and crude while the tools are made of stone, also becareful because some animals or other sort of intelligent species can use magic as well |

I hope there will be dragons (small- medium size like the wyverns in ARK ). There will be creatures like that yes and also some other mythological creatures you might find, this world will have a lot of possibilities with creatures cause there wont be any LAWK on it,there are dungeons that you can enter that will have really good treasure to be found inside such as new magic your people can learn or really strong weapons that you can use, or armor, dungeons will be near by to where you settlements are but when you have beaten a dungeon it will despawn and a new one will come in its place but it will become a lot harder to beat but with better rewards |

Round 1 The Exodus
(Please insert Tribe name here) SerialKiller- Vote go South (Roll: 13)
The tribe of SerialKiller headed south after the major drought and wildlife leaving the area back at the home land along the way the tribe ran into some trouble with some sandstone cliffs they felt that the land was too hard to trek across. So the tribe went to rest and eat some food, but what they didn’t expect was that the food would attract some predators that were the size of a lion, these beasts had the appearance of a Porcupine with quills that could be shot out of their back (the quills have paralysis to help catch their prey), the mouth was a that of a saber tooth cat, because of the surprise attack a few of the members of the tribe were killed the other got away but were still being stalked by the Quilled Sabers (you can name them whatever you want Serial I’m just making a place holder name for now)
Stability: (1) stable
Power: (1) Tiny
(Alter) Skyguy98- Vote go North (Roll: 3) (Im sorry you got terribly unlucky >_<)
When heading to the north the tribe of Skyguy’s ran into terrible problems the winds were blowing terrible snowy wind at the tribe and because of this many of the tribesmen died while going through the wind the people ran into a small cave near the mountain region while inside the noticed it was a lot warmer than they thought it would be while inside though they didn’t realize that the reason why it was so warm was because there was a fiery monster that lives in caves during the cold snowy days. When one of the tribesmen put down some wood and set it on fire it, the creature awoke when it did it roared and a lot of people were stunned a lot of the people ran back out into the snowy land while other stood in fear and were eaten. The tribes people who got out into the snow tried to figure out what to do with themselves so they set up a large fire so that they can all stay warm in the snowy mountains. (The appearance of this creature you ran into was a White colored dragon that has the ability to heat its surroundings so that it can survive in the snowy regions these creatures live in caves and the caves are easy to tell that they are living inside because of the heat inside, if their skin is made into armor or clothing then the person will be warm in any environment no matter what so it is a good idea to try to tame these guys to make living in the mountainous North easier just be careful when doing so, these dragons are the less intelligent dragons)
Stability: (0) Shaky
Power: (1) Tiny
(Insert Tribe name here) Mitobox- Vote go Northwest (Roll: 12)
The tribe of Mitobox headed Northwest where they ran into a forest that was cold and had heavy fog surrounding the area making it really hard to see in some tribesmen were unsure as to whether they should enter into the forest or stay out because some felt it would be a bad omen while other thought that it was a good idea to use to hide against intruders who tried to attack them. While looking around the scouts also found to the south of their location there is a small lake with trees surrounding it.
Stability: 1 (Stable)
Power: 1 (Tiny)
(Zker) Aquos- Vote go Northwest (Roll: 17)
While headed Northwest the Zker tribe came across a species of animal that seemed to be able to mimic voices of the Zker these creatures looked like parrots but were smaller and more agile and are a good use for sending out messages from far away. The Zker have also found an abundance of food that they can get and use and a small lake they found that is perfect for drinking
Stability: (1) Stable
Power- 1 (tiny)
(Korens) Agenttine- Vote go North (Roll: 11)
While heading North the Korens were worried about what they could do to keep themselves warm when the wind was blowing heavy snow at them while doing so they found a giant animal that had a thick hide perfect for making into really warm clothing so they tried to hunt this creature they now called the Woolly Marple (you can think up a better name if you want to Agenttine or you can stick with this one it’s your choice, they creature looks like a long six legged fat Giant Sloth it sometimes walks on all six and other times to defend itself it walks on two legs but is easy to topple over) thinking that it would be easy to hunt the creature the hunters tried to kill it but when trying to do so just angered it and most tools used were innefective against the hide of the anime and because of this some people died trying to take it down, some people realized to use their fire magic to kill it after a long fight they finally killed one and got some good meat and a new hide to use for the cold harsh north mountains.
Stability: (0) Shaky
Power- 1 (tiny)
(Iberians) GabrielGG- Vote go West (Roll: wow a 20)
While headed west the people of Iberians found an abundance of food, after finding the food scouts went ahead to find out what was further west and found large birds that could be ridden on, when the main group caught up most of the children were interested in riding the newly found creatures, and got on their backs at first the birds tried to shake them off but then the birds finally accepted their fate of being ridden by the children. The people also found a dungeon nearby where they had set their campfire when they saw the dungeon most people went inside it to inspect it, when they came out they found 3 scrolls that had different abilities, one of the scrolls had the ability to make a small amount of water, the second scroll could buff someone with strength and the third had the ability to see through objects.
Stability: (1) Stable
Power:(1) (tiny)
Please do give me feedback on my writing and some other stuff I can improve on so I can try to make this a lot more fun for people. I hope that you guys will be able to help me improve, I hope this doesn't count as Belgium posting cause no one else has talked since the last 3 posts sorry im just worried ... 😊

I really like the inclusion of mythical animals and the storytelling is reminiscent of old stories from a video game or something. I like it,but one suggestion would be breaking up the paragraphs so it's not a wall of text, and also spellchecking, but I like the story itself, even if the fire dragons kill all my freezing people.
Action: attempt to domesticate or at least become friendly to the fire dragons

While looking around the scouts also found to the south of their location there is a small lake with trees surrounding it. Stability: 1 (Stable) Power: 1 (Tiny) The group set up camp for the night, pondering the knowledge the volunteer scouts had brought to them. With the day done, it had split into subgroups of friends and families sitting around small fires, the fires of their peers each a blur in the night's fog. A restless group of three hunters were chatting.
"This fog's way too thick," bemoaned Rorkuk, who was leaning back on a log. "I couldn't find anything this evening, let alone catch anything."
"At least there's water," said Frich as he inspected a flint stone, which he believed would make a fine hand-axe. "In my experience, it's always more important for a tribe to find water. Now that we've found some, food won't be too far away, so I guess we're doing pretty well."
"Who's 'we,' anyway? The only reason most of us are here is that guy. Why'd we follow him here, anyway?" Said Rorkuk, gesturing toward Kazar, who was trying to catch a firefly.
The third hunter, Nozzik, perked up at the mention of their de facto leader. "Him? Well, who can say they've met a shaman before? Most of us are too busy worrying about hunting and sleeping to practice magic beyond starting a fire, and along comes a guy who's probably honed his craft his whole life." Nozzik paused for a moment. "I was living on my own for a while, and sprained my ankle trying to catch an animal. Next thing I knew, a complete stranger walked up to me and healed it right up. Then he keeps walking like nothing happened, and it turns out a bunch of guys are following him. I figured I might as well join in."
Frich nodded. "He's definitely an interesting guy. I've actually heard the word 'Kazarite' going around, just something to call ourselves while we follow this guy."
Rorkuk shrugged, then scratched the scales under his right horn. "Might as well. Not sure why he's sticking around here, of all places. Reckon it's the forest?"
A silence fell. Frich spoke up. "The forest might not be why he's sticking around, but why he's stopped."
Nozzik was confused. "What's so bad about a forest? If it's the fog, well, I don't think fog would matter if he's just going in one direction, anyhow."
"Sure would matter for us, the fog's bad enough out here," Rorkuk muttered.
Frich considered Nozzik's point, then shook his head. "This is a shaman we're talking about. They know how the world works, in ways we can't understand. I don't know about you, but... I think there might be something to that forest that only Kazar gets. Something bad."
Rorkuk had heard similar talk earlier. Others thought it would make a good defense, in case some unsavory folks came by. But neither of that was in the here and now. A thought came. "Speaking of fog, what are we going to do about it? I don't know if I'll have much better luck tomorrow, and that might go for everyone else."
Frich thought, his years of experience going through his head. "If all else fails, there's always the lake. I met a family once that decided to hang around a river for a while, just catching fish. Fish can show up in the darndest places, so I don't see why the lake would be very different."
Nozzik nodded. "I actually talked to one of the scouts earlier, uh... Merlak, I think? I'll see if I can't suggest that to him in the morning." Tribe's Name: Kazarites Vote: Send scouts back to the lake to search for food sources. |
