Current Still alive. Sorry for the delays. Still have that new job, but I'm (gradually) getting another one. Current one is too slow.

Still a little sick. Some sort of cold. Hopefully not the flu. Getting better but it's slowed me down.

That's a good point. Classics like The Little Mermaid were basically perfect the first time around and any remakes can only be worse. Remakes of the bad Disney movies are a second chance for them.

Bio

Hi there! I've been roleplaying for years, mostly in fantasy-type RPs. I don't like giving out too much about myself, but I am a man living in New York City (that's in the Eastern time zone, if you don't already know), over 18. Recently, I have been busy working, although I graduated from college and grad school a while back.

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.

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.
Welcome to the guild!
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?
(I hate to say it, but the above post was very confusing for me to read and I'm not sure I followed it entirely. I'll reply as best as I can. It's also NOT how most other RPs are written. We don't have a "voice-over", for one thing. And no one calls a bookstore by that name, I'm sorry.)

Cyrus was the father of the family but he was also in charge of the bookstore. The year was 1980, although one couldn't guess it by the appearance of the quaint little English town outside. He ran the store with his family and intended to pass it down to his son, just as his father had done for him years ago.

He had recently acquired a book from a dealer, one which was supposed to have been magic. Based on the age of the materials and the stylistic influences, it was certainly written no later than the 1500s, one of the last books to be handwritten in Europe after the invention of the printing press. Whether or not it was magic was unclear, but if people wanted to believe it, so much the better. Little did Cyrus know, it was.

Welcome! Is that a reference to the old Raffi song, by any chance?
I'll see if I have time to actually play this one.
In this RP, we'd be playing the father and mother of a family, where said parents are retired adventurers who are raising the next generation. Rather than shy away from the adventuring life for their kids, these two would embrace that sort of life for them and train them for if and when they choose that sort of path. Exactly what race/class combination the father and mother are and anything about their kids would be determined later, along with whether or not we are starting with a family in place or if they would start before that time.

My main character would be the father and your main character would be the mother, but we could play any number of other family members if we like. I haven't labeled this as 18+ as we don't have to RP that sort of content, but I am going to leave it as an option. I will also request that any players be over 18 just in case. If you want to RP them "making the family", we can do that, or leave it off-camera.

Please PM me if you are interested, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask.
