Necessity to Fight

One of the constants throughout "The Tribe" ... and throughout our Tribe rpg ... is fighting. Tribes fight outcasts & renegades. Tribes fight tribes. Tribes band together to fight bigger threats.

Why do we fight? For shelter, food, clothes. For the safety of our family, our friends, our tribes. We fight out of loyalty. We fight out of rage.

"The Tribe" season 1 was mostly tribes fighting tribes for resources in the city. Seasons 2 & 3, the tribes fought the Chosen. Season 4 was Ram & the Technos. Season 5 was Mega & his Techno remnants.

KTDARPG season 1 we fought the Brotherhood. Season 2 we fought the Anti-kids. Season 3 we fought the elements & each other. Season 4 was the beginning of the little war lords; we had the return of Lion-F as well as Pyro and Dread. Season 5 added Rah to the warlord hit-list.

Now we're in season 6 so I'm just guessing here...we've got Blasko & his 100. We've got some unseen slavers having an impact on our characters. We had a nasty tribe called the Grimms who tried to whomp the Misfits and got exterminated. And it's still early, so who knows what may happen yet.

Mostly, it seems like our players get antsy when there isn't an enemy to fight. There's training going on, characters learning how to defend themselves ... and it all seems like we're just waiting until the next big go-round.

Maybe it's just that calm life is boring. The knights of the round table needed a quest to keep them from fighting each other. We just haven't found the right "quest" yet.
