The Mountain Village of FjΓΆll
A ready-made mountainfolk barbarian village you can easily drop in your own game. Please enjoy this addition for the world's greatest roleplaying game (but realistically for any system).
> ## Genesis > While running my Curse of Strahd game, I read a lot of things in so many places about this very well loved campaign. I especially hung out on the r/CurseOfStrahd subreddit, following, as many CoS DMs do, DragnaCarta's and MandyMod's content. Specifically, I liked making the fanes and ancient barovian deities part of the story. > >However, I wanted to make my own versions of these locations, and I went to work. I built short adventures for the Swamp Fane, the Forest Fane, and the Mountain Fane. My Mountain Fane ended up in a volcano in the southern range, Mount Ghakis. Well-known to be a treacherous and dangerous location in Barovia, it is the only pathway to the Amber Temple. Long story short, I needed a mid-way place in the mountains for my players to get information on the fane, as well as the Amber Temple. > >Thus was born FjΓΆll, the mountain village, home to a barovian barbarian tribe.
About FjΓΆll (fee-yole)
Where is this location?
In the snow-covered peaks
The town is set high up in the snowy mountains, somewhat close to the nearest commercial trade route. It could also be near a volcano, or any place where growing crops would be difficult, but mining would be easy.
The village is well-hidden, as its entrance is actually a fairly small cave, easily passing for the den of a bear. After a short tunnel walk, one emerges on the top level of the village, which is actually comprised of a series of alcoves, caves, and rooms carved all along the inside of a large cavern.
Space is limited and dwellings are assigned by the village chieftain and his council. Assignment is largely done on the basis of family size and prestige in the hunt or in the mines. The larger sub-caves are dedicated to multiple storage units, for the various needs of the tribe.
Who are the people living there?
Hunting Warrior-Folk
FjΓΆll's people are the barbarous warrior-folk of the mountain, living the typical tribe life. Men and women stand equal, as the blood of the mountain warriors as well as the harsh living conditions make for strong offspring, regardless of gender. Only strength and resourcefulness i
... keep reading on reddit β‘For the purposes of this post, I use the term Westerners to talk about First World people. I don't include Latin Americans on it.
Do you know that Reddit took down subreddits showing the murderers and torture of Brazilians, Mexicans and various Latin American peoples daily only when they posted Europeans being shot? Do you know that when Brazil had a fire in the Amazon, various random Westerners from this own website were seriously talking about sanctioning and invading Brazil, but when fires happened on Australia they were sad? Do you know that they consider the extremely different nations of New Zealand and Finland as Western, but would think a lot of Mexico being one? Do you know that many often see our region as inferior because we have more lgtbphobia/sexism? Do you know that many western europeans are unironically proud of imperialism and colonization?
We also have our worldview differences. We already know that we have a history that is quite distinct, but we're also more communitarian, less individualistic, more oriented to family, we are far less racist (in fact nearly everybody is mixed-race to some degree), and let's not even start with their factions on younger people that believe on "fat acceptance", cultural appropiation and so on.
It also seems that they virtually only think about us when they watch porn of "Latinas" or use our region history for pushing their own political purposes. And yes, this is not 100% of Westerners, but the fact that sectors of their population engage in such behavrious automatically says a lot. And they're the "millenial" ones, as we already know that the older ones often see us as racially or culturally inferior. Such behavior makes it harder to identify with them.
So we already have differences on beliefs, and the vast majority of Latin Americans already don't care and thus don't identify with the West, while most Westerners do care to some small degree. But our cultural/academical/political elites identify with them, while the population has a harder to identify with the West, perhaps even more when on the first place most Westerners don't even think of Latin America when they think of the West.
**We have it harder at identifying with the West, which is why most Latin Americans already don't identify with it. Will our cultural/academical/political elites follow and thus we'll have an identitarian schi
... keep reading on reddit β‘I'm a second year(out of 3) computer science student and a few days ago I've had an algebra exam for which I ve studied non stop for like two weeks. Today I got the results and it was the highest grade out of everyone. I feel like I am flying, I've had a few doubts about my capacity of graduating this pretty hard university, mainly because last year was an epic fail. But now I feel like I can pass any exam. Also it was mandatory that I pass this exam in order to pass the year onto the next(and final one). So now I know that I can pass any exam as long as I work hard and study, hard work really does pay off and also university (and if you think about it, life) is not a sprint, it s a marathon. If you want the results do the work, it really does pay off, start now.
I've been trying to build castles, and villages, but everytime i fail, because it never looks the way i want it to look. I guess it's because i just start building with an idea but no plan.
I'd like to know how you approach such projects. How much do you plan ahead?
Do you make a general layout before building something big?
If so, does the layout already include the sizes in blocks?
For villages, what is the first thing you plan? The roads, the houses or something completely different?
What do you do, if you have an great idea, that you didn't plan ahead, while building?
I'd like to learn how to start such a project in a structured way. If you know any good tutorials on this I'd appreciate it if you'd share them with me.
Platform(s): this was on a computer (don't know which kind, I was like 5) and it was definitely free to play (because I was like five). Might have been mobile but that's not likely. Maybe it was on hp. Or maybe a big desktop computer (the chunky kind)
Genre: village builder/ sims type game with little tiny people
Estimated year of release: 2000's to early 2010's. There were multiple editions though
Graphics/art style: third person, looking down from the sky, you could drag the people around the village. It was like paleolithic or something.
Notable characters: they were dressed kinda caveman like and they all had names like Unga
Notable gameplay mechanics: you could drag the people around and if you put them on top of each other maybe they'd make a baby? You could give them jobs that they would do during the day. You had to have them build buildings and one of them was a love shack in which babies were made. There were bees. You could click on somebody to look at their name and age and interests. When they died they'd turn into a little pile of bones.
Other details: this was the game we played because we didn't have the sims. I vividly remember sometimes there were bees that would chase the people around. The pop up box of interests would be in a corner. They were little tiny cave people. Sometimes they'd die and become bones. Help me please. Oh oh and if they didn't make a baby they'd just hug instead but it was called embrace.
WHYYYY MCA!!
I live in a conservative suburb in the Midwest and being child-free sometimes feels like an anomaly.
I feel like everyone I know has children.
Itβs just in the last two years or so that Iβve felt comfortable vocalizing that my husband and I donβt want children, we are content with our hobbies, each other, and our fur babies. I love my parent friends but theyβre currently on a different journey. It sometimes feels really isolating and lonely. Iβve desired intelligent conversation and friendship.
In an effort to increase my social circle, I joined Bumble BFF and matched with a really awesome woman that also doesnβt want children. Weβve hung out solo a few times and then she invited me over to her house for cocktails with her friends.
It was a group of eight intelligent women with interesting careers and diverse interests.
We did not talk about potty training, teething, or little league.
We talked about art.
We talked about books.
We played games and shared cocktails on a Tuesday.
Iβm so happy.
As part of my final dissertation, I am conducting research into UK consumers attitudes towards electric vehicles. As part of this, I am looking to collect over 400 responses to my survey. If you have 3 minutes to spare, I would be very grateful to anyone who is happy to help me and fill it out! Thanks
