Community vs. Players: COMMUNITY THREAD
General thread here.<--- Go here if you don’t know what this is, or if you want to sign up.

This is a community suggestion game, combined with a dungeon crawler RPG. It will be like a regular dungeon crawler, with players directly controlling their own characters, but the community will control the monsters they face. The setting is a magitechy world, during a massive war between the arcanists and the technomancers.

There are three threads: this one, for signups to play as a player, and for discussion about things you want everyone to see; the player thread, to be used only by players who are currently playing; and the community one, which anyone except current active players can participate in.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING AS A PLAYER, DO NOT READ THIS THREAD!

Spoiler: Dak’s backstory (click to show/hide)

You are a goblin thief. Before the technologists began hunting magical creatures, you were pretty well off; your father lead your clan in many victorious battles, and you were set to take his place as chief when his strength eventually left him. Now that your clan’s power has been broken by the cold strength of technology, however, you have been forced to put your natural agility to use as a thief, robbing ignorant travellers from the shadows.

Today, you (a goblin thief, if you didn't read the backstory), are hiding among the rocks by the underground road, when you notice some travellers who you could have sworn weren’t there a minute ago walking down it. The local merchant is leading his horse and cart down from the other direction. You know better than to mess with him, or try to waylay his customers while they are buying from him, but these newcomers don’t seem to have a weapon among them! Maybe you can rob them after he leaves, or something.

What do you do?

Sneak into the merchant's cart while the four and the merchant are distracted with bargaining.

Good idea.

[mastahcheese]

+1, see if we can find a better weapon.
Use stealth

Use stealth

Important, yes, but I presumed that that would be implied by "sneak".

[Yourmaster]

use our magic goblin blood to possess the merchant

We have no EP, we can't.
Wish we could.

We have three, actually.
We just don't know how to use them. And three probably isn't enough.

[mastahcheese]

Oh, I just saw the 0 WIS and assumed we had none.

Carry on, then.

-1, I mean seriously.
These are PCs, they are itching to murder anything that moves.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Let's go for the sneaking and stealing, then just going directly for suicide.

We should give serious thought to sneaking and stowing away. Just think about all the plunder to be had in whatever town or city the merchant's going to, and how many convenient hiding places there would be. Sure, it's risky, but we can hardly achieve the lofty goals we are worthy of by quietly robbing travelling merchants for pennies and bread.
