[OOC] Goblins

[Ruiner]

@Aristocles

Is there such a thing as hobgoblins and if there is, is it a separate species of goblin or a title a goblin can earn? Possibly a subspecies?

[Aristocles]

@Ruiner

Hobgoblins are another species, much larger than goblins (about human-sized) and more advanced than goblins. They're different enough that they'd practically need their own RP just for them.

This is really cool 😎 —-> The slayers guide to hobgoblins [/url] by mongoose publishing. There is a goblin one too but I can’t find a link or file.

Good read. Angry hateful creatures. My brain is stirring with ideas for a goblinoid warband game where players take control of little ‘factions’ or ‘families’ within the tribe and try to grow to dominance by slavery, recruitment, breeding, general survival all whilst trying to earn favour of the chieftain and gods. There will be losses as your numbers rise and fall.

🤔 gotta start working on a system.

@Dark Light

I've heard of those. Not sure if a link to a .pdf of a copyrighted file is a good idea.

[Shadow Dragon]

Is there a set amount for post length? I've got about a paragraph or two, but I've got writers block right now.

[Aristocles]

@Shadow Dragon

Any length is good, as long as you avoid one-liners.

[RisqueBoots]

Heyo all! Gonna start working on a post nows.

[Aristocles]

@RisqueBoots

Great! Keep in mind that it may take a little while for our characters to start meeting each other.

[RisqueBoots]

Oh by the way, if I accidentally improv something that doesn't fit at some point, feel free to correct it!

[Dark Light]

I’m open for interaction if anyone wants to walk past in the forest otherwise I can come back to the village and bump into someone. Got some ideas to make stuff happen :D

Just let me know.

[Aristocles]

I'll have a reply up tomorrow. I was waiting for everyone else to make their own first post. If anyone needs any help, just ask me.

[RisqueBoots]

Looking forward to it! I don't have any particular questions at the moment, but I imagine I'm correct in assuming it would generally be a dumb idea for the Shaman to leave the village (meaning, no wandering into the forest just to talk to people)?

[Aristocles]

@RisqueBoots

Not at all, if she knows what she is doing. The shaman often leaves the village to gather herbs for medicine and commune with nature. That sort of thing. Oh, and before I forget, the sacred fire is somewhat magical and does not burn out easily.

[RisqueBoots]

Ahh, good to know! And yes, iirc it's sustained by a spell so it only needs wood once a week.

[Duoya]

Sorry for the long wait, but post up! Now I can finally go to sleep!

[RisqueBoots]

I'll work on a post after I get some sleep and wake up in the morning, looking forward to seeing more of everyone!

[Shadow Dragon]

I'm pulling a blank @Aristocles.

[Aristocles]

@Shadow Dragon

What do you need help with? The chief? Much of his day is spent dealing with disputes. Maybe that's a good starting point?

[Duoya]

Will get a post out sometime tomorrow.

[Aristocles]

@Duoya

Take your time. Please don't rush it. Quality is almost always preferable to quantity.
