as a family of mobsters who fled into the desert with their goomahs to escape the law-men on their tail.
2
as a commune with utopian dreams that outstripped their ability to feed themselves.
3
as a high-end eating club, the members of which became jaded with mundane fare.
4
during the Dust Bowl, robbing, murdering, and feeding off travelers who lost their farms.
5
as a fringe Christian church that began taking the
flesh and blood stuff a little too literally during a period of
impoverishment.
6
as a military unit that got lost behind enemy lines, and survived by hunting the populace for years after their war had ended.

This cannibal clan eats people
1
as an expression of their extreme chauvinism towards outsiders - seeing them on par with game animals.
2
because their new-agey alt-medicine philosophy says that certain key nutrients can only be gained by cannibalism.
3
because they believe that by eating people they save
their souls from the oblivion of death - and they too will be eaten in
turn by their descendants to ensure their immortality.
4
due mostly to internal social pressure - if any of them stopped, the rest would think they were turning on the clan.
5
in order to take in their best attributes, in a long process of gustatory alchemy to create the perfect human being.
6
pretty much purely due to the weight of tradition at
this point, they've all been doing it for so long that none of them give
it much thought, and don't require much justification.

This cannibal clan lives
1
in the labyrinthine upper floors of an upscale
apartment building, the signs of their predation insulated by wealth and
connections.
2
near a meat processing plant which they own, disguising
their predation on their mostly illegal immigrant workforce as
industrial accidents.
3
on the road, moving in a loose net like a foraging army, coming together only to make major decisions and address threats.
4
in a small town where their own members make up every serious position of authority.
5
in a city that sees heavy tourism, operating bars and casinos and suchlike to keep an eye out for those who won't be missed.
6
mostly aboard a tanker they've converted into a living
space, sending out night-raids to kidnap victims and steal supplies.
It's become an infamous ghost ship in coastal lore.
D6
This cannibal clan is led by
1
an ancient patriarch addled by senility and kuru.
2
a mutant uncannily adept at hunting and hurting people.
3
a council of the clan's older women who knit hair with bone needles.
4
a prodigious teenager who tyrannizes the clan's elders
with the mass of their youth, and believes they can introduce
cannibalism into society openly as a sub-cultural movement.
5
a freakish occultist obsessed with legends of ghouls and other corpse-eaters.
6
a gentle-mannered, self-described philanthropist who tries to make a point of eating only those who want to die.
D6
This cannibal clan has the strange practice
1
of killing only with weapons made from the bones of previous victims.
2
of wearing the heads of carnivorous animals as masks or hats during their feasts.
3
of inscribing their myths and history in great tomes of tanned human skin.
4
of tattooing a winged scorpion on themselves as a mark of pride and mutual identification.
5
of growing flowers in the trepanned heads of their victims - sometimes delivering these flowers to their victims' families.
6
of attempting to adopt anyone who survives one of their hunts.
D6
This cannibal clan is opposed by
1
a food safety inspector who stumbled across a restaurant they had a meal prepared at, and wound up way over their head.
2
some boomer conspiracists who believe the clan is really a cabal of Satanist billionaires.
3
an epidemologist who found them out by tracking some strange disease spread patterns.
4
a bunch of crustpunks, one of whom was almost lured in by the clan over a cannibal-fetish website.
5
a drug dealer who's lost some of his best customers to the clan's predation.
6
a true crime podcaster couple who think they've stumbled on their big break after following up on a cold case.
This seems like it will be really useful for a lot of people's upcoming Halloween-themed games :).
