[QUOTE="Prince Atom, post: 280763, member: 6046"] The what? And, naw, anything named "Neolithic" has got to have its roots in the modern day! [/SARCASM] I wasn't casting the whole world as monolithic; just the region in which the PCs are first active. And, FYI, the culture I was thinking of was inspired by the Native American display at the museum of UT Knoxville. I was primarily envisioning a nomadic group like those of the Tennessee valley -- Bluegrass region. So what if the Hopi are building houses in cliffs? That's a whole world away! The Cherokee Nation was formed, IIRC, after several hundred years of contact with Europeans. Before the conquerors crossed the pond, were the Cherokee very European? I believe I never ruled out tanning. It was my intention that the groups would have access to tanned skins; if I didn't make that clear, I apologize. Well, if you don't really want a Stone Age setting, that's your prerogative. Although great leaps in technology have happened through contact, I don't intend to just give the folk steel weapons and let them run rampant through the land. Bronze weapons would be artifacts (in the archaeological sense, not the magical sense) and thus wondrous and exotic in their own right. And the reason this seems like some kill-the-sabertooth campaign is that I haven't come up with a good instability yet, something to get the plot rolling. It's just static, and of course it's boring if it's not going anywhere. TWK Gimme a break, I'm not an anthro major.... [/QUOTE]
