lets not get too carried away with a crazy location for your clan, you might not like the neighbors.
Agreed. I'd rather not live with a beholder or... Wait that's D&D... Well still, we'll have to deal with not being the apex-predator
Question: how are we doing God's? Are they beings who will come down and tell us to worship them, or will they spring from our ideals?
Or do the gods exist but not have any true definition, like our people?
Nothing prevents a desert from being cold.

Yes
Nothing prevents a desert from being cold.
There are cold deserts on earth.
...Okay, wonderful! I'll take that as all three.
Would our clan know of these yet or does it need to be discovered in a future date.
Oh yes, I live in an area classified as a dessert but it has 4 seasons. It has hot as @#$% summers, rainy spring, miserable Autumn, and fun snowy winter.

Your clan's beliefs about powers greater than mere mortals likely has no correlation to what actual metaphysics exist in the campaign at least at this point.

That was kinda my point.
What will happen with alignment? Will it develop over time? I just think it would effect us quite a bit if our clan was Chaotic Evil and killed other clans simply simply because we find it fun.
I would assume we all start off as true neutral :)
Otherwise we already have a basis for our people and where they'll go.

Neutral is a good assumption at this point.
Clan/tribe structure and moral/societal code should be defined as it'll impact characters.

For the first life, the players are literally going to be between 25 and 50% of the adult population of the clan. You guys should decide what its current state is.
Given the time period, 25 is getting old.
Odds are we'd be at around age 15-20.

I'd say the clan is roughly 15-20 adults(over the age of 16) and roughly half that number in children.
One or two "elders" who are around the age of 30, and perhaps a few infants.
The ratio of male to female should be a little more female members. Males would die more often during hunts or battle with other tribes. We should have a total of 50% commoners, 25% warriors 10% experts and the rest are character classes. so our "elder" could be an expert in either hunting or as a herbalist. Helps cure diseases with conventional herbs, or as a superstitious nut who believes the herbs are holy or magical (though they actually might be)
As for leadership, our elder or the strongest warrior should lead the tribe.
Will 3rd party be allowed as we advance?
I have a question, what happens when we get to a civilized period? When we aren't a major influence any more? Will we go mythic? It may definitely add flavor to the game.
I figure they'll still be a huge deal, but those in power may not want them messing with the status quo.
What happens if eventually you come in with a Reincarnated Druid archetype
Reincarnated druid won't be an option for you guys, doesn't mea there aren't NPC reincarnated druids.
Will 3rd party be allowed as we advance?
I personally as a GM would not Open the 3PP pandora's box and if asked would require given specific 3PP things for review.
Will 3rd party be allowed as we advance?
3PP overall no, I willing to consider individual options if a player really wants it.

I will not be using mythic.

Been going over the ARG's race build to check out racial traits and it appears there are a few that are RP 0,
Racial Type: Humanoid
Language: Standard and Xenophobic
and finally:
Ability score mods: Human Heritage and Standard
So Why not pick one and use it, since the potential gene base variance could be rather high. Though with standard, I'd be figuring standard standard would be (+2CON,+2WIS-2INT).

stat mods will start coming in between your first and second lives.
About how many RP (Racial Points) points do we get between lives?
About how many RP (Racial Points) points do we get between lives?
It won't be a fixed number, and I will be giving the party a list of 3-5 options from which you will pick one together.
An example would be something like
+2 Str
+2 Wis
Bond to the land
Stability
Stalker
I find that too limiting.
But as a group picking one with many options would be very hard so I can agree with it.
but you could also have the emergence of bloodline(s) that have unique traits even in the tribe/clan.
And some traits would be more pushed as advantageous by a society.

I haven't decided if bloodlines will happen, if they do it will be after you already have several racial traits and the population has grown by quite a lot.
Still interested but the denial of a game I really wanted to play in has dampened my mood.

I know that feeling.
Yep. Considering a female barbarian. Hopefully will work up something later today.

You can use my character sheet as a template.
Unchained or no?
Unchained or no?
both are fine, just make it clear which you are using.
I have my Ranger ketu made.
Terrain, clan territory and spirit lineage are in the description.
Is the gear and weapons okay? I wasn't sure about shortbow and arrows, if they're that advanced in their toolmaking and if you wanted to reduce the damage to reflect a flint rather than metal head?

Arrows are stone/ or bone, but otherwise having a shortbow is fine.
In case it wasn't clear you are all from the same clan and therefore from the same territory. I am leaving up to the players to collectively decide what terrain your clan is from, so if you want to start in temperate mountains you will need to sell it to the other players.

Two of us have agreed on a Jungle biome, though not the geography.
I've voting on Valley or Hilly geography.
I love the jungle setting and would vote for a valley, maybe with a small river running through it for the clan to fish and get water.
Given a third vote for jungle, it might get locked to it.
So we have a vote for Valley Geography
I'm more to the Hilly geography, but do like Valley as a secondary.
I think it might be good to get RP started, after the Geography is decided.
I'm fine with jungle. I think it would give play more options if we didn't settle on one particular valley or hill. Also, if they have access to a coast (rather than being landlocked) they have the opportunity to learn about spring tides and the connection with the lunar cycle. In terms of latitude, I prefer tropical over equatorial so the sun's (or suns' ... ) path changes with the seasons.
The Geography of the territory could possibly hold up to 3 different terrains.
An example would be Mountainous, Valley and Coast.
And I agree I'll like to be a bit farther from the equator.
Heck we could even be near a pole, with Geothermal heating keeping the area very warm.
We could also do hollow earth. But if I get done I'm making the case for the fungal jungle. Partally just because I enjoy saying it.
I should also note that no character will probably be above level 6.
Is this an "ever" or "Just for the first few generations"?
Level 6 makes it kinda hard to fight the aforementioned dragons and liches. =)
I'm interested BTW. Jungle sounds fun, and is a terrain not much explored in these games.
Ditto swamps, I wouldn't mind living in a boggy region either.

probably ever.
A. Realistically for a play by post to get above level 6 would take years
B. The system starts getting wonky once spells above level 3 are available.
C. Remember that by the end you will have more than 10 reincarnation points which is probably almost the same as a level.
