Hunter Gatherer Released

Tribes consist of about 60 total members.

There are two "seasons" in the game, each with four phases. You allocated cavemen to three of the phases (the survivors participate in the fourth). So you split all your cavemen across six events. The result is you usually need 8-12 on the board at a time, and maybe two dozen in the fourth phase. In general, you need a way to tell spearmen from clubmen (different stats), though you could easily do this with a poker chip under the base.

There are a couple of special figures (champion, chieftain, witch). The .pdf has fold-up flats for all the figures you need. It's also nice if you want to supplement your existing figures.

Hunter Gatherer is a prehistoric fantasy supplement designed for the (free!) QILS gaming system, that sets two to four tribes of 28mm cavemen against each other, dinosaurs and the world itself in a pitched battle for survival.

Tribes will have to hunt and gather food, as well as protect their stores from hungry velociraptors and possibly invading tribes. You will need to balance your tribe's approach to all these activities, and plan for contingencies beyond your control to come out on top. Bashing a few heads with a club helps, too.

The book includes:

A full campaign system, consisting of two four-phase seasons
Layout for all the phases, including 2D print-and-play flats for terrain
A-fold paper minis for cavemen, Neanderthals, dinosaurs and mammoths
Petroglyph score sheets to track your progress and establish dominance for your tribe

Feel free to muck here and provide your insight, critique and general ramblings about this supplement, QILS in general, and to check out our terrain and mini conversion tips, as well as get a peek at what lies on the horizon…
