Fallout & KinshipCode
Fallout Fallout
Hey, I've been watching how these survival groups keep tight circles like makeshift families, and it got me thinking about how those ties might map out on a kinship chart. Curious to hear your take on the lineage of a raider clan or a wanderer's crew?

Hey, I’ve sketched a little sociogram for a typical raider clan. Think of the leader as the root, his siblings are the first cousins, then each raider’s wife brings in a new branch from another tribe—so you end up with a dense web of cross‑marriages that keeps outsiders out. Wanderers, on the other hand, tend to form a loose clan where each member’s spouse is usually a fellow traveler, so the chart looks more like a circle of equals than a tree. Both setups have cousin‑marriage taboos; in raider groups you’ll see “no first cousin marrying” written in tiny script on a napkin, while wanderers simply avoid any direct kin to keep the circle flexible. It’s like a puzzle—every new member is a new node that rewires the whole network.

Cool map. Raiders keep blood in line, that tight web holds them together but opens up a genetic roulette. Wanderers are the free‑wheeling cousins, no loyalty ties but harder to trust a stranger. Both work for their world, and a backup plan is key when the circle breaks.
