[OOC] Goblins of the Wilds

[Dark Cloud]

@Zillanilla Hey um so you probably should let our gm know if you are interested in joining before posting a Character Sheet in the Character Sheet tab, you'll need to run it by him.

[Dark Cloud]

@Zillanilla But if you spoke with him already I apologize for jumping to that conclusion.

@Blackmist16@Zillanilla

He spoke to me. Looks like we're getting a second new player after all! :)

The new character looks good but for the boots. Goblins don't use those, but he can certain wear everything else.

[Zillanilla]

@Aristocles awesome! And I'll edit out the boots now

[Zillanilla]

@Blackmist16 not a problem 👍👍

[Aristocles]

@Zillanilla

Yeah. They have thick-soled feet, a lot like hobbits. Or halflings. Tolkien's estate is famously litigious, after all. :D

[Vec]

Hello, is there a empty spot for me here?
I see small group tag so I had to ask just in case.

[Aristocles]

@Vec

Yes, there is room. Don't worry about the tag, although if you join and participate, I might have to close it to newcomers until I can get someone else to co-run it. But yes, you are welcome to join. I'm just glad to see so many new people so quickly. :)

[Dark Cloud]

@Aristocles How are you doing? Good I hope.

[Aristocles]

@Blackmist16

Had a headache earlier today, but I'm fine now.

[Dark Cloud]

@Aristocles

Good to hear your well, power went out here at 10:00 this morning and came back at 1:00 couldn't post.

[Aristocles]

@Blackmist16

Sorry to hear that. I'll post when I get home, maybe in 30-40 minutes.

[Aristocles]

@Blackmist16

I'm back. Took me much longer than I thought. Sorry about that.

[Dark Cloud]

@Aristocles

No that is fine I'm just screwing around with my meme thread. So I'm occupying my spare time with that or other stuff.

[Aristocles]

@Zillanilla

Mind if I make a Hero Forge version of your character? It's just a 3D image.

[Zillanilla]

@Aristocles I don't mind at all 😁

[Aristocles]

@Zillanilla

Cool. I'll have something up for you later today if I have the time.

@Aristocles

Nice. Some questions, however. Is there some overarching storyline you are aiming with this or is it more of a sandbox RP? Will we be restricted to goblins for the duration of the RP or can our characters grow and possibly evolve? How hard would that be if that was the case? I am looking at this from a LitRPG perspective so that's how this question came about.

[Aristocles]

Goblins should be our main characters, but we can and probably will have to play non-goblin side characters at some points. As for the RP, it is more of a sandbox than anything else. I had no overarching plot in mind, but events will unfold as I and the other players make happen. If things get too out of hand (like if one of the players has aliens land and take goblins to another planet), I'd step in and have those posts edited, but as long as the story stays within certain broad parameters (those of fantasy and being fairly serious), I wouldn't usually intervene.

Our characters can and should evolve, but they still have to be true to their species. For example, Breden has gone from being a poor hunter to a good one, but he still wouldn't be caught dead willingly using a human-sized sword or axe. He'll never be more than three and a half feet tall, you see. Same thing with his culture; even if he could find some shoes, he wouldn't use them.

[Vec]

I see, so there won't be any race changing/powering up/evolving going on. The evolution you are speaking of is from a skillset point of view.
