If you read Goblins, you don't NEED a big wordy explanation of this game!
If you don't read Goblins, and you're in this guild, you have issues. Go read Goblins. Right now.
Goblins.
ANYWHO, the premise will be similar to the comic's first chapter, but beyond that, the storyline will diverge. Any mechanics in Goblins' worldsetting will apply to this game, such as the presence of IMEs and whatnot. You are not playing anyone from the existing comic, nor will you see any characters, good or evil, from said comic. You are from a different tribe, in a different region, with different politics and traditions.
HOWEVER, I do not want you guys making actual "characters" yet. That will come after the first step, which I'll explain shortly.
There is NO PC LIMIT in this game. But I warn you, I'm making a full-fledged PC party of my own to come kill you guys in your warcamp. As such, anyone who does not survive Chapter 1 will be out of the game. I'm inversing the rules some MMOs use - the harder the monsters, the harder the PC party will be! So if there's 50 of you (by Herbert I hope not), the party of adventurers that will come for you will be that much stronger.
Liquidor, rather than having a "reserved" spot, you will have some other sort of reward. I'll think of it later - I have some immediate ideas, but they all depend on how the first step plays out. Part of your reward does include NOT being removed from game if you don't survive - if you don't, we'll work something out.
Anywho, onto the nitty gritty:
THE FIRST STEP
As part of signing up for this game, you must answer me the following question: What makes you stand out or different from any other goblin in your warcamp?
I have the right to either veto your answer if it is too crippling (such as "I'm the only goblin that hasn't had my legs chopped off!") or overpowering (such as "I'm an avatar of Maglubiyet and count as a 30th level Solo monster!"), or to ask for clarification if your answer is almost acceptable but too broad/vague (such as "I'm the only goblin with a defining physical feature!")
Any answer you give must not conflict with the answers of any other players thus far. You can ask for help from your fellow players if you feel stuck.
Once THIS is done, then I can go into more specific nonplayer character generation rules with all of you - which might be defined by the answers you give in the first step!
