Survival of the Vickers - Ultimate Decades Challenge [1301]

[Blamsart]

Starting a new one, why not?

I'm blaming Livvie, she got me to discover the wonders of a Decades Challenge.

SO COME JOIN ME. We're starting in the 1300s. It's a fight for survival starting as peasants. I'm using Morbid's Ultimate Decades Rules. You can find them here.

I'm trying something different to how I usually do challenges or stories. A more narrative documentary style - let's see how well it goes!

This is one of those challenges I'd love to do, but annoys me because of assumptions (1300s people didn't die in their 20s and 30s naturally, a lot of that belief is because the <5 demographic had a horrific survival rate, outside of plague years if you survived to 5 you'd make it to your 50s or 60s barring accidents. Also, the average age for marriage was mid-late 20s for peasants, early-mid 20s for royalty, with "child brides" being wives in name only [yes, that was considered creepy even back then] /rant)

All of this is to say, I'm looking forward to how things go in your game!

Spoiler:

While I couldn't play with inaccuracies (see rant), I appreciate you going the SCA route and having openly gay people immeadietly. Looking forward to the nooboos!

I've had my own rant or two about challenges, that's where the endless planning and tweaking of challenges comes in LOL
I, however, am very bad at history and accuracies. Keep those rants coming if you got more, I love to know these things

Spoiler:

Right? Look LGBT GAMEPLAY all the way. I'm excited and absolutely fearful of the incoming deaths

Ooh I’m excited to see how your story pans out! I just started the regular decades challenge starting in 1890 but I do love the idea of starting in the Middle Ages!
