It 2016 

Oh there's jump scares it's not bad as long as I'm ready for it

Oh there's not any jump scares over an hour into the movie I'll be-

*jump scare* FUCK ME SIDEWAYS AARGHLBLL

a tarrasque wearing a large bonnet hat attending their garden of gigantic plants yes

Happy #goblinweek to all, & to all a good night! I thought I'd start out with a quick exploration of the prototypical high fantasy goblin, in a kinda homuncular mode–gawky, sensitive, small and irracible.

@fillertrack "our servers have temporarily been eaten by a terrasque. please wait for them to be seduced back to sleep while we attempt to retrieve the servers..."

omg @dagoth@mastodon.art thank you so much for drawing wyx they turned out so great aaaaaaaaaa

@thefishcrow@cybre.space trying to avoid "tech", i want high fantasy flavour

Tabletop talky 

@goatmoat hmm i'll have to think about that

a "lost race of people who suddenly reemerged into the world" could be an interesting idea to play with

Tabletop talky 

@Gaypow oh yes, i'm down for that

so far i'm focusing on mechanics and flavor mostly because i just want to establish a rule set before i dive into that part of it

Tabletop talky 

@goatmoat the closest i've come to allowing this is that orcs can use their physical strength stat for intimidate checks

it's one thing if you're scared of something (see them as potentially superior) and another thing if you find something worth dismissing (see as potentially inferior) if that makes sense

@goatmoat im trying to avoid making any race being "sneaky" bc the world i'm trying to build in general has huge diversity of humanoid creatures and i want to avoid defining a race by something that can be construed as a negative quality

@tom the HD remaster of 12 made it my favorite but i also haven't beat 9

(i really love ivalice i'm sorry)

Tabletop talky 

@Leucrotta Yeah. I'm just wondering how I run with that in a way that doesn't scrape up against the concept of "bloodline magic" which is a quality you can build into at any point in your character's progression

@thefishcrow@cybre.space that's reserved for rock trolls, who will be a playable race :p

Tabletop talky 

@Gaypow i can't parse this post! are you about to talk about something you've talked about before or are you proposing a different way to talk about it?

so far i'm trying to distill all of the races into traits that i'll use to build histories on top of

ie. flavour -> mechanics -> backdrop

Tabletop talky 

@Gaypow haha yea they overengineer stuff. that seems like a good trait in general. maybe i'll see if i can tie that in
