Stereotypes are another name for cultural Traits in StarCluster 3 games - they are what you might get if you asked a stranger for a generalized description of a whole culture. They are very useful as descriptors for the culture as a whole, and as personality traits for people from that culture when it's not worth creating a personalized set of Traits. They also can be used as starting points for player characters when choosing their own Traits. What follows are stereotypes for the nations of Outremer - note that entries preceeded by * are quasi-independent subdivisions of a nation.

Why are Jerusalemites sarcastic?
ReplyDeleteIt seemed to go with the other traits well. I imagine them as the New Yorkers of Outremer. :D
