Laws, society, magic, none of that exists yet, or if it does you've never heard of such a thing. You are simply a nomadic hunter or a gatherer, that has just always been the only way to live. Maybe you used to travel in a herd, but for one reason or another, you are no longer with such group. You each manage to stumble upon a group of people who seemed to be content staying in one place, with permanent shelters, a system of telling each other what to do, and some kind of new concept where you can make your own food, which they call "Fameng", where you don't have to hunt or gather for anything, the food just grows out of the ground over time. As you are slowly accepted into this non-nomads, it very quickly becomes clear that their society stems from a strange bright red flower called "fa'ler". Fa'ler can bring harm to those who touch it, but they have found a way to use it to build and maintain their entire way of life. However, they haven't quite figured out where it came from, and while they've kept it burning for many days and many nights, it has started to shrink and die down. Soon it will be gone, and these people will completely lose their fundamental existence and starve. Having spent much longer as traditional nomads, you are the only ones truly fit to embark on a long journey to find the knowledge to bring back the fa'ler. You know that many days ago, a person appeared who could make the fa'ler just appear out of thin air with just a thought; they taught the people of this place what it can do and made it for them, although they didn't their methods or process, but it involved something they called "najeek". Now you have to venture out to find some way to learn about other Fa'ler or najeek and save this unconventional, but innocent people.

Getting a group back together who have not played for a while due mostly to university impacts. The games will be Cthulhu 7e and Classic Delta Green (maybe even Cthulhu dark Ages).  Looking for one or two more players to round things out. The GM is super experienced and creates a very suspenseful and immersive experience. The hard bit is the location - Newberg Oregon so a bit of a drive from PDX unless you are in Beaverton or Tigard. This could be Friday nights or Saturday nights depending on mutual sceduling, and with busy work lives twice a month max. Reach out for more info.  Important note (if this matters to you) we are a wide range of ages from 30s to 50s and we dont care about that - but you might!
