New Tribal Idea Discussion/Dialogue

[wastelandstoic]

Hi Diomedes,

As far as any RP in Xsyon goes it is wide open to define just about any way you choose but the onus of getting an RP group up and running would rest completely on your shoulders as I'm only familiar with one other player who was looking for an RP based tribe to date. Game progression, ultimately based on content, is slow as the game continues to develop in prelude. But, there is plenty to keep you busy for a good while.

Abernack -in game, or Corbies here on the forums, is the only player that I recall who was trying to form an RP group and I believe he ended up joining Oasis Tribe (Zone 738-39). A Better Tomorrow (Zone 700), whose tribe leader is Whorlock, is probably the tribe most into the game lore. They have hosted a Paiute Indian -vs- US Calvary 'war' and seem to have a good knowledge of the Lake Tahoe area's cultural history. I'm not an RP'er myself but share a love of the Greeks(and ancient philosophy).

Best o' luck to you on your odyssey to bring a Greek tribe to life in Xsyon!

Many thanks friend!
I find it interesting that they took the time to immerse themselves in the history/Lore of the Lake Tahoe Region. Obviously those cultural groups fit a bit more soundly than Greeks....However its seems that within the Xsyon lore ancient primordial Gods have risen to retake their rightful places among nature worshiping humans...I find this extremely interesting and hope to find a way to create a believable background for this Ancient resurgence of Hellenistic Worshipers

You also have to take into account that as a post apocalyptic civilization we lost everything including our own history, leaving us in a primitive state with little or no knowledge of our past culture. If someone where to find for instance remnants of a book on ancient Greece, they might assume it's their own history. So any ancient culture or belief is feasible when you have none

For this reason alone I love Post apocalyptic scenarios. Whatever context that I Roleplay in I attempt to immerse my character in whatever current situation they are facing. Obviously with the huge loss of recorded knowledge a tribal could never truly RP as if they knew everything pertaining to the past. I was hoping to use the current lore to explain in part how tribal of this current era could have some prophetic dreams regarding Elder Gods/Gods of old. I also enjoy your idea regarding the books....textual evidence could also be an interesting thing to play with.
