Kobold-Mine

Post by NewOneAround » Thu May 01, 2014 5:39 pm

I want to try to GM in this forum.
Its my first time making a forum game so please be gentle with me.

A clan of Kobolds has send you out to explore the region and build another mine.

After a long trip (always traveling at night to be hidden from the other races) you send some scouts into a small cave and are rewarded.
They find some rooms and in one of them a small gold vain.

Time to settle down


I'd like to have 5 PC's playing 5 of the 6 leaders auf a group of 18 kobolds building a new kobold settlement (aka mine)
And im talking about this guys

When you make your spoilers, you'll want text of what each is rather than having it say SHOW SPOILER.

You can do this by typing [ spoiler=stats]Text[ / spoiler] (Omit the spaces within brackets)

And it will look like this:

I'm interested.

I have a question, though. Will all the melee fighting skills be based on strength, or will there be ones based on dexterity, too? Because in many other game systems there are fighting styles (like blunt weapons) that rely on pure force, and which are strength based, and other fighting styles (like fencing) which require agility/finesse and which are dexterity (or other stat) based. Also, basing magic combat of strength seems a bit ... far fetched to me.

Most spells will hit based upon their own skill. This skill is for weaponlike spells or unusual weapons. Flamesword, Lightningwhip, Lightsabre, Tailblade.
Melee based on dexterity... from a logical view there has to be something like that, but it would make kobolds OP-fighter (they are not ;) ).

I have an idea.

Most meele skills can be uses with Dexterity (depends on weapon dagger ok, two-hand-sword not). Soak of armor counts double against this use of the weapon.

well two interested in a week^^ Not as many as I wanted and in my humble opinion at least one to few.
I'm away most of the weekend and if there is one more player interested until monday (or you two both write you want to play with only two players) I will start the game.
Perhaps some more join in later.

I've noticed people don't check recruitment as often, as there isn't a whole lot of activity. You can try putting a link to this thread in your sig, or starting it with slots open for more to join at the start.

I'd be happy to play, if you are willing to go through all that ordeal for only two players. ;) :thumbsup:

As a matter of fact is my main reason I want to GM because I WANT to GM :lol:

If you two want to play with just two I am happy to provide you with a playground and a big sign inviting more of the kids to join.
