Chapter 15: A Return To Form

This will be a medieval themed modded Rimworld village/town. The setup is that we're the survivors of a scattered mercenary band who are settling and rebuilding. I need bodies. I will not be writing as much as Kalarion PBUH.

Character Creation (I can add people mid-playthrough so make a character whenever)

You can give me as much or as little information as you want and I'll fill in the rest reasonably.

-First name, optional nickname, last name
-Sex
-Age
-Appearance (give me a description, reference picture, or character whose look you want to steal.)
-Body type (regular male, regular female, stick, fatass, hulk)
-Favorite color (gives small mood bonus if you're wearing that color)
-Any other details on how you'd like your character to behave ("I want to use a mace/shield in combat, risk my life to protect others, and primarily work as a blacksmith." or "I want to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary, tend to wounds, and keep everything clean when nobody needs looking after." or "I want to be an asexual vampire who is close friends with the strongest guys in the village")
-30 points to put into skills. Any level past 10 costs 2 points. Melee/shooting costs double for women. You also get 4 passion points you can assign to any skill for bonus XP. Max of 2 per skill.

► skills

-Childhood (adds or subtracts skill points. Choose with your heart.)

► childhood backstory

-Adulthood (if over 18)

► adulthood backstory

What mods are you using? I haven't played Rimworld that much, but I did want to try a medieval style game. But there were so many mod options with different dependencies and potential conflicts, or the dependencies had not been updated, that I just have up.

Colored the mods I consider relevant to the (vague and wide reaching) medieval theme. Steam Workshop will tell you if the mod you're installing has dependencies, and the mod manager RimPy sorts them for you and gives conflict warnings. It's a simple game to mod compared to something like Skyrim.

I have roughly 222 more mods disabled because they're for standard playthroughs.

Here's how our lovable cast of ******* shake out after backstory/trait skill changes. I may have made some alterations based on conflicting traits. Way more than I expected. No more making two guys, you rats.

I can keep adding people during the game as well if anyone wants to participate.

And here's the basic "ideoligion" I whipped up. It's fluid, so it can be altered as we get development points and degenerate into savages later on. If you'd like to read more about this system, here's the wiki page.

Chapter 1: A New Home

The remnants of our scattered mercenary band arrive arrive in a temperate forest on the 6th of Aprimay. It seems like we've lost their pursuers.

Hoss spies the ruins of an old fort nearby. It's as good a place as any to take shelter, but we'll have to at least patch up the broken walls with wood to keep the cold air out.

William, a former highwayman and currently one of our best fighters, organizes the group and gets them hauling supplies into the fort. It's not a lot of food for 14 people, so we'll have to start hunting as soon as possible.

We luckily find a few abandoned weapons in the fort. The sword goes to Sivan, while Elias, Oscar, Vergil, and William take spears. Hoss and Stack grab short bows. Some start clearing out dusty old skeletons and rubble while others start foraging for berries and mushrooms. People start claiming sleeping spots on the floor. It'll take a bit of wood to get everyone set up in a proper bed.

Everybody is in a bad mood because Lemon won't shut the **** up about her heretical citrus devil cult.

This is due to the "intense bigotry" precept of their own Ideoligion, which is Rimworld's portmanteau of ideology/religion and fittingly serves as either or both. The 0/10 in the upper left denotes our development points, which are earned through successful rituals and conversions. When it fills up we can modify things a bit if we so choose.

As night falls we start heading to bed, though for various reasons Kala, Mathieu, Shani, and Vergil will be taking the night shift going forwards. A decent amount of trees surrounding our new home were felled, the walls and roof have more or less been patched up, and tables are being built in the great hall. Latrines are being set up in the old dungeon and wells are being dug outside. We'll definitely want to set up a cooking space tomorrow

------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day successfully passed with nothing horrible happening. With our immediate survival taken care of and it being late IRL, I'm opening a poll to decide on what we should do in the morning. Whatever we choose, it's going to take a lot of wood.

Here's a zoomed out view of our surroundings if anyone would like to do some urban planning. Crops are probably going to take up a lot of space. The little area to our southeast is an old empty crypt I'm going to tear up for bricks.
