@ClocktowerEchos I mean, what if our characters die of old age?

@Dark Cloud

Perhaps take over as a sired or adopted child or another gobbo? Don't worry I won't spring a "aha! you're suddenly now dead" thing on people IC

So I've been doing some more big thinkin' about what Cloud said about seasons. I realize that if we do a 365 day a year thing, that would be insane. So I had an idea from Rimworld, which uses a 15-day season cycle/60 days a year. We could do something similar where each season would be like 4 or 5 turns and the whole year is like 16 to 20 turns. How do you guys feel about that? Just ripping Rimworld's timekeeping system. I feel like its a perfect fit for this RP.

fresh out the steamer!!!

Welcome/Welcome back!

@Dark CloudI never acutally thought about that, seems like an interesting idea!

@Dark Cloud Hmm, I would just say to use Tools then, they're like butchering equipment/hunting knives for you right now.

@Dark Cloud They're either Tools or spearheads.

@Sadko Yeah, I wrote up your gobbos before I listed out the skills. Give me a second and I'll redo your gobbos with the right skills.

EDIT: Holy fuck I am stupid, I didn't have Builder as a skill listed >___>

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

Can one of these be a bow? We have plenty of gobbos who'd do well with a ranged weapon at the start.

EDIT: sniped

@Sadko

I'm just going to add some starting weapons to the list of equipment. I'm going to say that you guys have 5 shortbows, 5 Goblinite spears and 3 wooden clubs.

Well, five sets is better than one set (I was also worried we just had one). When you say anything, though, does that mean that we set what it is or that the tools are uninversal enough to be used in many ways?

Edit: Oh, ok, I'll edit and change from knife to bow and arrows.

@SilverPaw

They're universal tools and to be honest, I'm okay if they change and shift (IE one person uses them as 5 axes and then the next guy uses them as 5 hammers). I'm doing it this way to make managing it easier and less convoluted as a gameplay thing, just imagine they're some secret goblin swiss army knife multitool on a stick.

@SilverPaw That is a good point. You know what? I'll leave it up to you to decide if you start with a bow or not and if you want to rewrite your post accordingly.
