Succession / Bloodlines
A succession, or bloodlines, game is one where you play until a standardized breakpoint and then pass the save on to the next person in the circle. They play until the next breakpoint and pass it on to the next person. Eventually, it makes it back around to you and the seeds you sowed have become unrecognizable horrors. The most famous example of a succession game is probably from Dwarf Fortress, Boatmurdered.
I'm thinking of starting one for Vintage Story. This is what I have so far but maybe you've got some good recommendations or could link me to some existing on-going ones.

The Rules :
Vanilla, just to cut down on setup and conflicts for now
You have inherited the land! You may do with it what you wish.
You will play for either one month (month length tbd) or until you die
It's nice but not required for you to do some level of journaling about your time, initial thoughts, ambitions, etc
If you survive until the night of the last day of the month, you are allowed to leave a one-line wish for the next person to optionally fulfill
If you die, you cannot write any additional details after the fact, must include how you died, and must jump time forward 3 months before sending the save. Whatever items you died with are gone forever, do not go back and leave them for the next guy.

Example : May 1, I traveled North out of the forest and identified the homestead. I should have expected such rough land from the low low price. Still, I can see potential in these jagged hills.
May 2, I began by securing my camp with a fence. I dug a wide moat around the few crops that I was able to plant. This will be the engine that drives my building.
Farmer Thomas was killed by a bear.

Aug 1, I have found my father's homestead, beyond the forest. It's little more than a hobo camp and will not keep me warm in the winter.
Wish : I hope the next ruler of this land will be able to repair the translocator in the Eastern Mine.
