The Clangen Challenge...

Before I begin posting, I wanted to put forth a Clangen challenge that anyone could potentially do if they wanted to. It's a little complicated, and a little Dungeons and Dragons-esque in a way... But I wanted this to be the sort of challenge where many things have the potential to happen, and can make your challenge more story-driven if you so chose to create a story of your own.

I will go into more detail in a document that I will be posting the link to in the future. In the document you will find the different options that you roll for. The journey will be 100 moons long, the challenge will be over if your entire clan dies - even if the leader or one clan cat is the last one standing, you can consider that winning the first portion of the challenge. There is no way to really play this accurately in the clangen game in the way I'd like to, HOWEVER you can still play this challenge within the game if desired.

DND-esque journey: This is a difficult roleplaying run, and can be complicated. If you want a quicker way to play, this is not the option for you. Have a number picker give you a randomized number from 3-12. This is the amount of cats you will start with. At a minimum, you will have 1 leader, 1 deputy, 1 medicine cat. They still have the potential to get killed off during gameplay. You roll a d20. Depending on the results of the rolled dice, there are 20 different scenarios that can be the possible reason why you clan is leaving their home. This is only meant for story driven purposes, "lore" of sorts before the game begins in clangen. I love lore and creating stories for my characters, and I love dungeons and dragons, so I felt incorporating dice rolls for randomized scenarios and events would be enjoyable. After that, for the next 100 moons, you roll a d100. Dependent on the dice roll, an event occurs. The journey is supposed to be treacherous and potentially fatal for your cats, and the goal is to try and survive - these encounters range from anywhere from light to potentially very fatal. You can create options of your own, or you can use the list I'm making for myself, and if 100 options is too much to keep track of you can make the list smaller. There will be instructions for each scenario, this will be included in the more in depth document. Again, this way of playing is optional and I wanted to have a way to give myself an added challenge and increased possibility of storytelling and lore. If a cat dies during this portion of the challenge, they get killed off in your clangen game. Again, the goal is to at least end up with 1 cat after 100 moons. Preferably you'd want to have more cats, since this increases the likelihood of finishing the challenge more quickly and successfully.

2. Clangen journey: This is a quicker way to play, and not necessarily the "wrong" way for this challenge. I don't want to play this way, but I also really like making things complicated for myself because I feel like that makes it more fun for me personally. There is no wrong option. You pick all of your cats, name your clan like normal. Roll a d20, this is for the purpose of creating a story- this is optional. This is simply the scenario that is driving your cats out of their home and forcing them to find a new home. Mass extinction events must be turned on, because again this is meant to be a challenge. Choose a randomized number from 3-12. At a minimum, you will have 1 leader, 1 deputy, 1 medicine cat. They still have the potential to get killed off in the game. While on patrols, you must be hostile towards any other cats. If in the events section a cat ends up joining the clan, you must exile them - you cannot add to the cats you already have. During a trial of survival where you don't have a stable territory and things are very uncertain, it would be very unusual and unhelpful if you added on mouths to feed. If cats in your clan have kits, you have the option to randomize the choice for them to either live, or die. This is a harsh environment afterall, and it can be hard to take care of a kit when you are fighting to survive yourself.

Other things: If the original leader dies, and the deputy takes over, they only have 1 life. They have no way to convene with Starclan at this time - and so they have no way to get their 9 lives. If they die once, you kill them off. If the medicine cat dies, you are left with no healer for the remaining portion of the challenge. If someone gets sick and there is no healer, you must randomly choose a number 1-2. If playing the DND-esque version, you choose 1-3. 1, they get better, 2, they continue to be sick, and 3 they die. You keep rolling this until you roll a 3 or they die. In clangen, you roll until they get over the illness in the game or die in game, or if you roll a 3 before they recover you must kill them off.

AFTER 100 MOONS: You win the first part of the challenge if you are able to have at least 1 cat standing, regardless of who the cat is. You can get away with winning if you end up with just 1 kit, but you can determine that rule for yourself in your run. Next, you must rebuild your clan. You finally found what could be a suitable home! Great - roll a d20 to determine what environment you are now living in. This has no impact on the game since you can't make your own custom setting for your clan, and this is really just a story-building portion of the challenge. It's what makes your clan's story unique if you decide to share your clan's journey throughout this challenge. If you played the DND esque version, kill off any of the cats that died in the beginning portion that you had chosen in game before you start playing. This time, there is no time span- your goal is to try to reach 20 cats, ideally in the shortest amount of time possible. For the first 50 moons, you have to be hostile towards outsiders - no letting cats in, no being nice to them on patrols either. After 50 moons you can choose to continue being hostile to outsiders or you can be friendly, depending on how challenging you want this challenge to be for yourself. This isn't a competition, this is just a way to make the game a little more fun for yourself- especially if you like lore building.

A Clan, Rebuilt

Forced out of their mountainous territory, they are determined to survive their journey through unknown terrain in order to find a new place to call home. The snow-covered peaks in the distance only serve to remind the clan of what they had lost. As the stars twinkle playfully among the mountains, the clan can't help but wonder if Starclan would really be there for them, wherever they decided to go.

But before a clan can be rebuilt, there is a journey that must be survived first. Will there be any cats remaining? Or will the clan succumb to the harsh wilds?
