Interesting perspective! But I would like to see some mechanical effect as a result of the character’s social class/upbringing/previous experiences. It should also be a quick procedure. A few decisions and rolls. Would not like it to result in pages of backstory (brrr).
I try to finish tiny swords & sandals inspired osr adventure (Narbassal‘s Fall). Still unsure wether I’ll provide stats for Shadowdark or The Black Sword Hack. I also tinker around with another osr module which features a maritime setting and has a Folk Horror vibe. „Needless to say, I’m not actually making much progress on finishing anything.“ - I feel seen 😂
A fluidity with regards to rank and social status. Raiders and military personal declaring themselves kings, etc. A transformation and rethinking of cultural norms, lower population densities, areas, where folks preserve elements and institutions of a state level society, re-used building structures, transformation of built space
