Bugbears! So far I got a concept of leadership out of them. They tend to be smaller communities and as such have to be stronger leaders to compete with other races historically.

Dealmaker: after convincing someone to do something you gain advantage on social rolls to keep them from doing something else.

You cut a deal and they find a buyer willing to pay more so you run into the shop to yell at them and gain advantage to convince them with words or threats alone

"i'll take quotable quotes for 800, alex"

trebek turns to the board, indicating the last remaining square in that category

the clue comes up: "a miserable little pile of secrets"

kobold: we're working it out, could you close the door please, there's a draft

[taps mic] now would be a good time to announce that I'm working on a list of Games With LGBTQ Characters Releasing in 2018 for @JStationX!

If you're making a game that fits that description please @ me! I cannot guarantee that your game will be featured but I would love to hear about it :)

I think I might grant them a pool of advantage dice for use with the investigation skill - allowing you to add advantage

It doesn't quite feel right yet though but maybe the ability part should instead come from later levels

The more I think about it, the concept of "curiosity" or "inquisitiveness" is sticking for defining goblins

Thanks @posit@chitter.xyz your story was fantastic :3

Does anyone have any good links to a historical cross reference of goblin mythos?

I know it's a long shot but I thought I may as well ask

Thought about the idea of embedding "kings and Queens" as something inherent to the race but I struggle to find that meaningful for pcs when I want that to remain purely in the NPC land

I just am not sure how to structure them, as a people.

Goblins!

Resistance to disease baseline and what do they unlock for abilities????

I thought about commerce. Don't like it

Thought about crafting. Trying to avoid min maxers for that.

Thought about "structure", even came up with a cool ability for it, then realized that not all goblin fiction has goblins as organized bands.

So what's the flavor behind goblins as a people? I'm struggling to break them down across different uses.

Thanks to @renatolond debugging this issue, we've found that everything works *when you're logged in* and doesn't if you're not and go through the actual login form. Therein lies the problem. The login process circumvents the hooks that check for these conditions and trigger a home feed regeneration

Oh snap the broken home feed bug is fixed!!!

housing, pdx 

So. Um. Know anyone in the general PDX area who is looking for an introverted, respectful, pet-friendly roommate in a month or three?

Landlord terminated my lease last night.
Would like to move out ASAP, this place is no longer safe for me to stay.

I have a 3d printer and a server rack and a milling machine that I'll put in storage if there's no room for them.
I'll want to bake bread and cook soup occasionally, but aside from that I'll mostly stay in my room.

tech whine 

me: hey $SERVICE1 i want $SERVICE2 to own our concept of business departments
them: what????
me: hey yeah where's your API

them: here's an integration service
me: oh cool I - wait this just reads SFTP
them: yeah
me: and I don't get to control the schedule
them: yeah
me: and it uses a proprietary format with excel docs
them: mhmm
me: and it calls departments "cost centers"
them: clever isn't it
me: can i have api access
them: no that's insecure
me: ???
