I figure this one has been a while coming. The premise is simple: we play as a tribe of kobolds who live in a series of caves underground. Details like an exact plot, specifics about the setting above ground, and other bits of world building can be done later. To keep it simple, here's what a player needs to know about the kobolds in this RP:

- These are reptilian kobolds, not the traditional dog-like ones. As such, imagine lizard people who are digitigrade (toe-walking) with horns and a tail, standing about 3-4 feet tall. This image is a good reference: forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kobol…

- They live in caves and primarily work as miners, hunters, or food gatherers. The tribe in this RP is a few thousand strong and things may be getting overcrowded. There are no full-time warriors in the tribe per se, but the males are more or less expected to fight if there's trouble. Female kobolds are a bit smaller than the males, but being reptiles, they lack certain features, so to speak. This RP is public, meaning it's PG-13, so please take any "content" somewhere else.

- The tribe has a chief and a shaman (the tribe's main cleric and one of the only spellcasters). Apart from a place to store food, a communal nest (the mother kobolds lay eggs but they are raised by a few chosen females instead of their parents), and some hot springs to bathe in, there aren't any areas I had in mind for the tribe. As they live in caves instead of built housing, it's hard to say whether they live in or have rooms or not.

- The tribe has no armor, but they fight with spears, knives, slings, and yes, they know how to make and set traps. We can discuss specifics later. These kobolds wear little clothing, but they would have at least a loincloth on and at most, a set of robes. They don't use footwear but they might have body paint or jewelry, so those are viable options for a character if you like. Some use a vest and some shorts, or just shorts without the vest.

And that's basically the premise. We can discuss roles, names, appearance, etc later. Before we get to any of that, is there anyone interested?

FINALLY! Dude, I am so in. Dibs on fire powers! Can we do multiple characters? How many bad guys will we be going up against? We should definitely require at least 3 posts a week to keep things going. Do you have a discord?

Yes, I have a discord, we can do multiple characters, not sure if we're going up against bad guys per se (although there should be some sort of enemy or obstacle), and I have a Discord. If you want fire powers, you might want to play the shaman or a kobold who was born with sorcerous powers. If you want my Discord, PM me please.

I would like to be the tribes troublemaker, a young aspiring kobold with nimble fingers and a knack for going exploring. Or something like that. I dunno.

Is it really "crime" if there's no explicit rule about it?

That should be more than enough to start this. I see that not everyone has a Discord, but for those who do and haven't already added me there, I can PM you with my handle. As for the RP itself, I'll get the OOC page ready later today.

I'll think of a CS, but it won't be complex.

@Aristocles So we all just red or can there be slight color differentiations? Like grey/charcoal black, green or white? Because finding a picture I like is driving me fucking insane.

Any coloration is fine, as long as it isn't crazy, like pink dots on bright yellow.

Hey there, I usually avoid Large Group RPs since I have a strong preference for smaller groups, but I love kobolds (they are my go-to race of choice xD), so I might make an exception. But, before I decide that (and thus take the time to join a Discord), I should ask something real quick:

I get that the idea of this tribe is to be your typical Kobold tribe; a focus on mining and digging in the dark, limited tools, etc. And I'm definitely cool with that; it'll be different from my own usual koboldfare (I actually have this entire network of varying kobold tribes of various colors and how they work as an interconnected whole in my own setting xD).

But, say I have a kobold character with a particular interest in hunting. Would it be possible for them to get their claws on a bow, and learned to carve arrows out of wood, stone and feathers over time? My main kobold character can be repurposed for this, but archery is tied into his character pretty tightly. I don't mind if he's kind of considered "weird" for his obsession with it and/or is the only "archer" in the entire tribe. But if that's not acceptable for this (and I'd definitely understand that), then I'd probably have to figure something else out.

That's fine. You can have a kobold archer, and have him hunt underground, on the surface, or both.
