In this universe...

Post by Runsaround » Sat Mar 23, 2013 6:27 am

This is a very simple game. One person starts by saying how the last universe has been affected by a certain event that has turned out differently, occurred in this reality but not the others, or hasn't occurred at all, and then mentions one such event. We, of course, use the baseline reality from Thunt's Goblins.

For example:
Forumgoer1: In this universe, Forgath is human and minmax a dwarf.
Forumgoer2: Minmax is a super-clumsy tank fighter running a sword and board build, but Forgath ran a more healer type role and so followed the DAGs in the original raiding of the Cryptic Falls warcamp, this has led to Forgath being kidnapped by the GAP to serve as a mentor in the ways of adventuring, Minmax chases after them very singlemindedly, and so he has never met Kin.
In this universe the clan of the Cryptic Falls was a clan of spellcasters.
Forumgoer3: Chief and the rest of the goblins are multiclass sorcerors, YAB was a divination specialist. Complains was unable to Minmax's reflex save was good enough that Complains had to rely on magic missile and was killed. Instead of Complains, Chief scarred Minmax. Minmax multiclassed to wizard and after getting a critical success on his Spellcraft roll he killed Goblinslayer easily with the Anymug and a fire spell. For that reason, Kin is slightly afraid of Minmax still.
In this universe...

I'll start. In this universe Brassmoon city actually IS under attack by goblins.

The goblins of this universe are a stronger force than in most, as they have a heavy populations of the sub race known as Blues, Goblins born with psionic powers!

You're only performing one part of these things. As I understand things, you're supposed to:
1) Show how the previous poster's scenario affects the group in the Maze of Many(Forgath, Kin, Minmax)
2) Provide a new difference to a different universe in the Maze of Many.

You seem to be omitting part 1.

And I have no idea which universe I should start by describing the results of, so I'll wait for others to begin.

Brassmoon City is under attack by goblins! The goblins are more powerful than they are in other universes. Brassmoon City is surely doomed! That's when Fumbles, a psionic goblin, arrives, looking to return the doll to the little girl he accidentally attacked. The girl - and thousands of others like her - will be slaughtered! This looks like a job for Senor Vorpal Kickasso!

SVK joins the fight... against his own kind. The confusion he causes manages to turn the tide. Brassmoon City is saved! SVK is the hero! He is the first goblin to be given the key to the city. This infuriates Goblin Slayer, who attacks SVK. The people of Brassmoon see that not all "monsters" are evil, and not all "heroes" are good. Thus begins a new era of understanding between the races of the realm.

In this universe, Thaco was made chief of the clan and the goblin we know as Chief was named Cowers In Fear...

With Goblinslayer not getting all the honor he got in the other universe, he was only one hero among others. Therefore he got no chance to "play" with the prisoners and torture them. Kin has no trauma to what Dellyn did to her, but instead she is just one prioner among many others in the catacombs. Once Fumbles - I mean Senor Vorpal Kickasso - became the hero of the city and changed the diplomatic relationship between many monster races and the humans, the members of those races got released and a little gold instead, so they can travel home.
Kin, sitting in the tavern where many released prisoners are partying, meets Forgath and Minmax. Minmax drinks with the hobgoblin which was slayn by Dellyn in the other universe, and when they are drunk they get into an argument and fight, but it is only a brawl and no one gets killed. In the end both end up beaten up on the street and laugh. They continue to drink. Seeing that monsters and humans can live together, Minmax is changes his attitude quciker than in the other universe. They rather see Kin as a questgiver and team up with her on the way to the maze of many. They don't pitty her since she was only imprissoned, and nothing worse happened to her. She is more confident and not as shy as she was in the other universe. Therefore, she communicates much more with her teammembers and learns that monsters can pick classes, too. She picks mage. On the way to the maze, they have some random encounters with animals, which is enough for her to reach level two, and to make up for Minmax and Forgath not killing Dellyn like in the other universe.
With her being mage, it is easier for them to get through the maze.
