What is this?"It takes a village" is originally part of an idiom or proverb meaning that it takes many, not just a single house or a few to accomplish a single, difficult task. So why the random wisdom mumbo-jumbo? This game is a simulator of tribal life, except without the hyper-realism from the Tributary and Savage Archipelago series. The premise is that you are a tribesman or tribeswoman in a society that you all get to shape. The main goal is survival. Wanna do something else? Of course, you have free license to forget around! Create an offshoot tribe? Go for it. Burn a neighboring tribe's village to the ground? Why not?
How do I play?Simple. State your action, and within reason and rules, it will happen. If you are trying for something that may or may not result in immediate success, a moderator or autonomous player
(See rules and autonomous player list) will decide the outcome of the action.
To start, create a character. See the example below to see how the application would turn out. Feel free to add any fields you don't see here and re-format as desired.

- Do not bullstuff in random mutants, aliens or mythology. If you want it, I we can have a discussion on the RPC Discord channel #blf-itav
- Do not powergame. You cannot simply overpower an apex predator alone with your bear hands. In general, just use sense.
- Autonomous Players are those decided by moderators to be trustworthy enough to complete their own actions as they are considered reliable and mature players. They can also decide the outcomes of other players' actions. If you are an autonomous player, do not abuse this power. It can be given just as easily as taken away.
- Rules are subject to change. Last revision on Monday, 03 July 2017 at 21:47:49, Pacific Daylight Time.
