Clan generation for Theros campagn examples

clan-generation-for-theros-campagn-examples

My new Theros campaign I was wondering if it was going to be a sandbox or if I could run the lost City. As we are a small group the sandbox seems more workable. Im also not using XP or promising fair encounters. Players know there is a Chimera in a volcanic crater that killed a players ancestor. They have no intention of going there yet.Ā 

Falimy generators in the 1st ed forbidden OA book has a nice family generation system that helped create drama and conflicts of honour and obviously, many cultures have honour and family systems not just fantasy Asians.Ā 

So I got players to make basic rolls on tables from hereĀ and I filled out some more details.
Family names as we know them were not a thing but clan, tribe or names based on famous ancestors. Players chose to be free but not nobles.

Each free or nobleĀ  family is expected to support a fit and equipped warrior ready to serve their community marked by *

All the noble families are human, most non human free persons are adpoted
