SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: pspahn;374730I would put it in the cluster generation section personally since I'd want it for inspiration as I was designing one. hey and just to be clear I was talking about sample government archetypes, not fleshed out samples.  Basically any type of sci fi or real world government tropes.

Pete

Gotcha! The government types are actually free-form weighted traits - for example Aristocratic 3, Paternalistic 2, Capricious 2; or Oligarchic 4, Puritanical 1, Shabby 1, Cruel 1. There's an extensive list you can choose from, but you can use any descriptor as a trait. These are not just descriptors - though they function fine for that purpose - as government officials can use these traits to their advantage. For example, a Customs official from the first Government has three bonuses to use when acting for the aristocracy - or acting aristocratic personally - and two each when acting paternally or capriciously. What you suggest would fit right in.
