Land of Despots is a game where you RP as your tribe to influence and control your surroundings. You want power, wealth, love, and all the finer things in life—But so do others, and they'll be more than happy to get you and your clansmen out of the picture to accomplish that. The focus is upon yourself, the leader, and how your decisions affect your tribe and other tribes around yours.
It is 1,000 years before a perhaps the holiest man was born in a land very far away. The world you know is situated on the northern shores of the great continent Iusa. People have inhabited this land for thousands of years, and it is now your turn at the levers of power. The winters are white and frigid, the summers are hot and humid. On top of that, with the wildlife out there—snow leopards, bears and wolves—nature isn't exactly holding your hand through it.
You play as the leader of your tribe—primarily. What do I mean by
primarily, you ask? (
Clarification). There are two modes of playing the game. You could either play as your tribe's leader (
Example), or as the authority that the tribe represents (
Example)—It all depends on what kind of narrative, story or picture you want to create.

- No powergaming (Clarification).
- No metagaming (Clarification).
- Name your people, tribes, places, traditions, etc. originally.
- Fair warning that people have the liberty to be as violent as they want, however, I please ask that overly graphic and descriptive detail of such be avoided. If this becomes a problem, and I hope it never does, I may ask you to dial it back or even to leave the game.
- Don't be ridiculous so that I need to add more rules. We're here to have fun.
