Cultural level wiki

Post by brothersale »

Hi,

Does anyone know where the source for the four homebrewed Cultural levels in the Wiki are from?

I did think they were from Quoth the Raven issue 2 but it does not match the Cultural level (the QtR's CL13 matches the wiki's CL11)

Cultural levels like Renaissance or feudal? Pretty sure those are at least in either 3.X's players handbook or DM's guide.... Pretty sure they are not homebrew but canon. :)

I believe brothersale is asking about the Cultural Levels 10-13 listed on Mistipedia. They are Steam Age, Oil Age, Information Age, and Age of the Man God. Those don't appear to have any source.

Wiki history for that page shows that those CLs were added by cure, a formerly prolific poster who hasn't been seen round these parts since September 2019. :? Can't be sure without asking him, but my guess is that he just made them up.

Lamordia and Zherisia works better as Steam Age domains, indeed.

Gotcha I was unaware someone added tail end cultural levels, I only knew i think the originals went from like 1-9 or something like that? :)

It's not bad to have some further cultural levels, though.
I mean, not all the domains we'll create need to be stuck in the pre-industrial era. Gothic horror can be applied to modern lands as well. :wink:

I am absolutely sure there were CL in a quoth the raven article... or a very nice thread here.

I remember ScS pointing out to me why 'plots' that can be run by the internet could also be applied with a few changes by the radiophone. I remember reading the description of how the "hero vs darkness" changed with the ages. From the Religious warrior to the Enlightment's "King and country" thanks to nationalism to the Republic/monarchy shifts of the industrial era to the "morals of the past are dead, our hero has a shotgun and not shiny armor and fights for "
