I'll probably expand a lot more on the background and whatnot on Skjsel. I was mostly trying to hurry up and get them posted

Have you considered making the dungeon core room an octagon shape? It'll improve our odds for a good pull by 2.845%

It seems like a lot of people have multiple ideas, myself among them. I wonder, since unless I've misunderstood it seems like the PCs might be getting minions/subordinates at some point, if some unused concepts could be repurposed into mini-sheets for minions or other NPCs?

Would be fun if Burger just had a submission form for that kinda stuff. Like, a quick application of 'name + image + race + description', that Burger then sets at an arbitrary rarity and puts into the gacha they keep talking about.

I'm gonna fill it with goblins, ofc.

@Lugubrious Burger did offhandedly mention we might be able to play as NPCs.

Oh, I forgot to ask.

Will you as the GM be creating a GMPC of your own to play as and use to interact with the rest of the cast? Or will you go the whole "disembodied narrative voice"-route and only play as NPCs/enemies/the enviroment? :o


My ass is the dungeon spirit, your overworked secretary who physically is unable to quit and legally doesn't have ownership rights.

So a mix, but probably closer to 2. That isn't to say that players can't do those things, though.


Guess we'll have to wait for an elaboration on that.

@Burger
I asked about the "how long" have we been summond-deal earleir.

How much do our characters know about each other at the start? Like... Do we know what race each other "boss" is, straight out of the gate? Do we know their name? Their titles? Can our characters distinguish between "important" monsters and gacha-mooks just by looking?

Or are you going with the whole, first day at the office with a fresh batch of new-hires who've never met or seen each other before?

I’m ready for Gentle to get put into a corner for continuously picking up short characters without consent so he can talk to them face to face.

I prefer the dwarf method. Axe the knees until they're at eye-level. Human-dwarf relations weren't always good.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering if I should have done an Igor....

Generally, you can control NPCs for trivial matters like conversations and the ilk. Mooks are a 100% you can write whatever as long as it's not of shattering import. Mooks are more like a... package deal? They're basically a group of which I will write the group's mood/alignment/status/etc, while you can use an individual for whatever. For reasons, they'll be more of a revolving door so I'm not exactly bothered about people controlling individuals for non-critical matters.

Named units/bosses are more on the only trivial side under most circumstances. If you get authority of them (see: get everyone else to agree to you having sole control of them), you can run them and do whatever you want. Or you can designate me as resident writing slave and have me still control them. Either or. Your control over NPCs basically functionally matches the rights and authorities your character has.

And an aside about NPCs--I'm not going to take requests for a gacha pool because that's too much record keeping for what I plan for this RP to be. Probably the solution is the ever classic pulling of a selection ticket, where you just get to write it in. That's probably for the better since then you lot have to argue about selection tickets and I find that funny.

>Race?

For the most part, you understand. You might not have the greatest inkling of what that race exactly entails (especially for the rare/esoteric ones), but you have an innate understanding of the general vibe and requirements of that race. IE, you fundamentally know that a goblin exists and a clean, academic goblin is quite rare. You know that a golem won't really be able to eat a steak.

>Name/title?

No.

>Difference between boss and mook?

Yea. Mooks just have the aura of a henchman of a janitor, peon, or just like someone in a high vis vest. Bosses/named units that you will pull for have their own aura of seeing a middle manager. All of you have the same "dungeon owner" aura of seeing someone on the board of directors.

>Or are you going with the whole, first day at the office with a fresh batch of new-hires who've never met or seen each other before?

Mostly this because I have a bit I am legally obligated to write for this..
