[OOC] Goblins of the Wilds

@BigPapaBelial

Never really played Warhammer. Or Warcraft. Honestly, I thought they were the same game when I first heard of them so many years ago.

[BigPapaBelial]

Different franchises, different developers and producers. One is Games Workshop (Warhammer and Warhammer 40k) The other is Blizzard (Warcraft, Starcraft).

I find Warhammer way more interesting. The Lore is deep and The World That Was and The World That Is (Season 1 and Season 2 basically) are really well put together.

@BigPapaBelial

I've heard that too. As in, Warhammer is more complicated while Warcraft is more like a theme park ride.

[Paradoxial]

Just stumbled upon this thread. If you guys are looking for new people I’d be down to make a shaman :)

@Paradoxial

We probably have to do a soft-reboot at least. This was badly delayed (my fault), one player hasn't been seen in five months, and while anyone who wants to continue can continue, we may have to do a time-jump or something to "reset" things a bit.

You are welcome to join, of course.

@Aristocles

I’m aware, I read through everything, hence why I’m looking to jump in now since you guys are restarting.

@Paradoxial

Did you have any questions about the RP specifically?

[BigPapaBelial]

@Paradoxial

Hey! So didn't look like that other RP we wanted to do with the Skaven didn't pan out huh? Welcome to Goblins.

I've always kinda held on hoping that this might start up again. I'm glad I checked again myself.

@BigPapaBelial

This would have been going without much of a hitch if not for the virus. I'll spare you the rant, but I am getting back to something approaching normal in my schedule.

[BigPapaBelial]

@Aristocles

Oh I understand Aristo, I do really.

And as per your comment earlier, about the difference between Warhammer and Warcraft. I like that analogy.

Warhammer is nuanced and deep, with lore for all the factions, even sub-factions. This group can work with that group but they can't work with this group because of old rivalries, the second group hates the third group because of old racial enmity. And that's just a surface understanding of what could be three factions.

As for Warcraft...it's...well...cute. lol

[Aristocles]

@BigPapaBelial@Paradoxial

Yeah. The panda thing for WoW was just a silly cash-in on that Dreamworks movie.

So, I guess we can do a time-skip with our characters and work in a shaman character for Paradoxial. There's technically just one shaman per tribe, but we can say there's either a new shaman or a shaman's apprentice if that's fine.

[BigPapaBelial]

Sure I'm all for it. Koglan can stay, and we can skip ahead some time I guess? Bring in Para, and see where we go from there?@Aristocles@Paradoxial

[Aristocles]

@BigPapaBelial

That's fine. I suppose we should wait for Paradoxial to make a character, but if need be, it can be just the two of us for while.

[BigPapaBelial]

Oh we can wait, I'm in no rush. Are you? We can take our time and wait. I don't mind.@Aristocles

[Aristocles]

@BigPapaBelial

Yeah. Depends on how big a skip we're doing.

Breden would still be in the village. Siwa would be pregnant after we do the time skip.

[Aristocles]

@BigPapaBelial

Also keep in mind that while Siwa wouldn't be 100% sure if Koglan is the father of (some) of her children, she would welcome his help in providing for them.

[BigPapaBelial]

@Aristocles

Haha okay sure sounds good to me. It all ought to work out.

[Aristocles]

@BigPapaBelial

Good to know. Goblin babies are very fragile at first. They go for quantity as a species, so each child is born very undeveloped.

[BigPapaBelial]

@Aristocles

So just out of curiosity, how long are we talking here for the time skip? A bunch of months maybe?

I just want to be ready is all you know?

[Aristocles]

A couple of months, no longer. It's a lot longer to a goblin than it would be to a human.
