@Mimesyne - Both concepts sound cool, but I love the second one! I'll admit that while I do enjoy (and am playing in) games that are more 'serious' in nature with their tone and the RP involved, I'm also most definitely a fan of the occasional game with plenty of comedy and other hijinks and shenanigans and stuff that falls under 'Rule of Cool' :)
Thank you, thank you. Yeah, she's a bit of a shot in the dark and a wild card of an application. But you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!
As far as the name goes, I like all these puns and I would not be disappointed by any of them!
So, I happened to notice that you all are pitching the idea of a second table solely for goblins in spaaaaace. And naturally, it got me thinking that I could get a Hobgoblin to go along with you lot. Given your stance on Summoners (of the Unchained variety), how would you feel about a Hobgoblin summoner whose eidolon is a barghest. Or rather, I try to make the eidolon as close to a barghest as possible within the unchained eidolon rules.
He could be the glue that holds the goblins together through sheer force of will as he tries to make a new goblin army. Or perhaps, in his case, a Goblin Mafia, possibly. I'm still a bit on the fence as to how to build the character mechanically and I'd be screwing myself a bit by going a race that gets no bonus to my main casting stat. But screw it, this character sounds hysterical and awesome, especially if I get into the goblin table.
Personality-wise, I imagine he'd be a bit more serious and lawful than any of the goblins while still being able to laugh at their antics. He'd be one part taskmaster, one part fearless leader (from the rear), and one part group spokesman. Honestly, it'll probably end up with him looking like a single parent of far too many horribly behaved children. And I love the idea.
LAB rat - sorry, but in fairness to the folks who have spent so long on their first submissions (for the first table), this recruitment is closed and only folks who had characters submitted when the original recruitment closed will be considered... Your character idea does sound fun though.
I will endeavour to set up a new table / recruitment thread tomorrow - and let's face it, it's going to be called Goblins in Spaaace! isn't it!!!
...but, in the meantime, I'm loving all those suggestions - note that the minimum number of goblins will be four (with a table of six, I'd really want them to be in a majority) so I will defintiely be taking at least one more goblin... Open season on everything else tho - androids, summoners with annoying eidolons, pusher drow, green-tinged gnomes - it's all good!!!
... Can I add one more name to the pot?
If we get five goblins: Space Goblin Five!
Looking forward to this one, like, a LOT. Wondering if I should stat out one goblin though just in case.
Oh, and Sparky... Bufo? How unrefined... Here, try some Opium instead...
All - Please follow this link to go the recruitment thread for 'Goblins in Spaaaace!!!
