[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 2601507, member: 9410"] [b]Synthesis of Cutural Synopsis Checklists:[/b] I) Attitudes/Values - Ideas, actions, emotions, and roles revered/despised. II) Language(s): III) Culture: (Overview) IIIA) Sub-Cultures: IIIB) Land/Terrain: IIIC) Centers of/Control of Knowledge & Power: IIID) Government/Authority: IIIE) Laws: Property rights, Crimes, Punishments, Enforcement, Trials, Appeals, Views on vigillantism, etc. IIIF) Social Classes: IIG) Religions: IIIH) Customs: IIIH1) Appearance: Clothing, hairstyle(s), adornment, weapons & armours, other. IIIH2) Food: Types, spices, etc. IIIH3) Holidays: What they celebrate, and how. IIIH4) Relations with Friends/Enemies: IIIH5) Arts & Sciences: IIIH6) Names: Common ones, as well as customs. IIIH7) Architecture: What type(s) of buildings do the various classes live and work in? IIIH8) Families: Nuclear, Extended, or Other? Patri-/Matri-archal/Egalitarian? IIIH8i) Sexuality: Permissive or Restrictive? IIIH9) Birth-to-Death of a Typical Man/Woman: Treatment of children, orphans, and widows, the sick, elderly, destitute, halt, blind, maimed? Rites of passage? Slavery? Treatment of prisoners, outlaws, and outsiders? IIIH10) PC Classes in the Culture: Common or rare, roles, how seen, honor/prejudice. IIIH11) Adventure Hooks: Things that can help/hinder the PCs. III-I) Magic: The culture's views on Arcane/Divine Magic, and its role in society. IIIJ) History: Only important as it affects the above! IV) Economics IVA) Imports: What the society needs, but can't produce. IVB) Exports: What the society has an abundance of, with special attention to I and IIIH5! Naturally, sections with nothing important to be said about them should just be DROPPED. Also, the order can be rearranged if, for example, the views on "Magic" were heavily colored by the "Religion" section... Also, "Religion", especially, would have a LOT of Sub-headings, under it! ;) Cheers! :D [/QUOTE]
