Badge, i didn't say that the other races had to be slaves, i just saw that others mentioned the idea of having them as slaves, so i was looking for a way to make that work without making everyone angry. In fact, i also mentioned that based on their population the Grippli would probably be an allied race no matter what, and i put forward another idea for the start where no one is a slave to anyone.

As for underdark connections, my original idea did not require or even suggest that the location was underground in the underdark, only that it there was an entrance(A connection) to it in or near the town. Admittedly, it doesn't make as much sense when we're living on a floating island, but i assume that there will be a long unused portal to a cavern in the underdark somewhere on the island.

I am looking forward to the roleplaying though. If you truly do intend to lead a revolt to destroy the drow (Which i don't understand, the only reason they'd be in a position of power over the others is if we agreed that they were, right now they're just the most populous), then i will look forward to having you as an (honorable? Noble? Only acrimonious in the game?) Enemy.

As for the multiracial idea, i would have preferred one race, or two different mostly evenly split races, but I suppose it will be interesting to see what does end up happening and how we hold everyone together(or fail miserably).

I think we should wait and see what Aegis writes, before we start talking about overthrowing evil slave rulers and stuff. There's bound to be elements we aren't aware of, for all we know we're completely harmonious (at the start at least) - or our floating island's the world's equivalent of historical Australia, a giant prison dumping ground that's grown up into what it is today, or we're all refugees, or...a multitude of other things. We might as well wait and see, since we've no way of knowing til we're told.

Or maybe the whole "Different races"- Thing was a trap by the devil himself : King Aegis, the tyrannic gamemaster ! - Who loves laying back and watching how the races kill themselves of until only one is left...^^

I did not read it happening that way. I thought the 3rd tweak was totaly separate. In any case, it does not matter as the results appear to be the same under either interpretation.
I survived the forum move 4 times... yeah, I feel old.

Yes. 3rd tweak happens after first 2 are chosen.

Also. Investment "shares" are for races not world tweaks.

► Show Spoiler
► Show Spoiler
WILL YOU... (Pick three always unless I say otherwise)

A) Search for caverns on the inside of the volcano that might lead to the surface?
B) Try and contact the Drow capital of Zhaltoria through magic? That was the Drow home before they got 'ported...
C) Trick the small groups of non-drow into getting close to the edge, then execute them by throwing them into the magma, to save on resource drain?
D) Build up the Citadel, planning to harness the power of the floating island, the gases holding it up, and make your stand here?
E) Focus on making the supplies you have left last as long as possible, looking for other ways out?
F) Focus more on breaking the slaves (the goblins and ponies) to do your bidding?
G) Attempt to send someone to deal with the fire giants in the magma lake to stop them throwing rocks?


Of the three ideas Zhaphis suggested, which one will you go with?

A) Build a scaffold on the inside of the volcano up to the summit?
B) Line-Of-Sight through scrying and Teleport up?
C) Ally with the Wemics and Step Sideways, the Centaurs with their "beanstalk", or attempt both?


You get one Specialization of magic, due to Specialization I --- you have access to Venom, Fire, Earth, Hexes (affects a group) or Curses (single target) specializations. Pick one.

Interesting. I like the new style of storytelling, though I do think that we should only do it for years end or some other special event, at other times i would rather have our characters drive the story.

Votes:

A) 1 (Madmartin26) <-Exploring the surface and having a way out if the volcano blows are very good things.
B) 0 () <-I'm a little hesitant about this because while i do want connection to underdark politics and resources, I don't want the tribe to be ruled by a 'foreign' power.
C) 0 () <-This would annoy so many people...
D) 1 (Madmartin26) <-Well, we chose to live on a floating island, we might as well live with it.
E) 0 () <- I think our current plans are good enough.
F) 0 () <- I'm pretty sure this would annoy people too, not to mention i don't think it's necessary.
G) 1 (Madmartin26) <- This seems like a good idea.

Of the three ideas Zhaphis suggested, which one will you go with?

A) 0 () <-Time consuming and dangerous.
B) 1 (Madmartin26) <- If we have the spells for it, then this would be great. Very little chance of ending up somewhere else, and quick.
C) 0 () <-These are good backups, but i prefer teleporting.

Specialization:

Venom: 0 ()
Fire: 1 (Madmartin26)
Earth: 0 ()
Hexes: 0 ()
Curses: 0 ()

Edit: I didn't realize the floating island was underground. This is pretty interesting/weird, actually.

Glad you're enjoying the style, Kida, though I'll probably save it for end-of-year posts. Perhaps I should finish the 200 pages of edits I need to make on my current story and just post it here in bits and chunks for people to A) read and B) edit for me, since I was told in another thread the characters didn't sound believable...

Most of the posts in the style I posted for this first game post will be from a Drow point of view since they are the dominant group here.

I would gladly read your story.

The votes does seems to be drow oriented. Maybe only drow invested players should vote for them. You could give the other players options to vote how their race would react. At least until we unite...

Voting according to race would get too confusing for me, I'd end up having several stories running concurrently too soon. That might be an option down the road but I'm not entertaining it at present, at least not for a good long time.
