Red Ramage presents: Goblins of Thornkeep (Inactive)

Game Master Red Ramage

The tales of a bunch of gobs with big heads and big plans.


Grand Lodge

Hello, play by posters!

I'm looking for 2-3 new players for my Goblins of Thornkeep campaign.

As advertised, characters are goblin members of the Brambleclaw tribe in the human town of Thornkeep, a wretched hive of scum and villiany at the edge of the Echo Woods in the River Kingdoms.

It's a tough life in a tough town, but the goblins have big, big plans. If you can stay alive long enough, you can drive off or enslave the longshanks and really put your tribe on the map.

The game is a true sandbox experience. I have some plots, and there's plenty to do, but the world is wide open and limitless, and not constrained to what I have planned for you. Your characters will drive most of the story.

Should you succeed in claiming some territory, the Kingmaker rules will be used to govern your goblin realm.

To apply, please work up a first level goblin character, write a goblin song, read through the gameplay thread, and post 'em here!

The rules for characters and houserules I use are -


SHADDAP, LONGSHANKS SLAVE! I TALKING NOW!

PS: I prefer players who can post every day or every other day. I'm recruiting to fill spots left by "once in awhile" posters

I have never done a pbp but want to learn and try it out. This game sounds like a blast just off the intro. I love goblins. Don't exactly know how pbp works but I have played quite a bit of pathfinder. I can post daily as well.

Being new is not a problem at all! Roll up a gob and introduce yourself!


Dotting. I'll try to make a character in the morning.


Gnoll?

I am also new to pbp, and Pathfinder for that matter, but I have been playing tabletop dnd for about 10 years and was looking to try something different. How would a Goblin Gunslinger (Pistolero) sound for your game.


Joboo flipped over after having gotten all the blood to rush to his head and pulled his finger out of his nose trailing a long green... Booger!...its only ways to get deep oneses outs...outs outs outs...

Red Ramage:
I can recrunch this little trouble maker back to 1st no problem. Is ninja ok? Is mostly for crunch not any sort of eastern flavor. I just like the idea of a gobbo with un-explainable tricks up his sleeves. I'm a several times a day, daily poster. You can check my profiles, including Joboo's here to get an idea of my writing style. Stay cool.

I prefer goblins or goblinkin, or small monsters. I inherited a previous incarnation of the game and we had a hobgoblin barbarian in it.

Ninja is okay but we do already have one.

Current regulars are goblin alchemist, goblin ninja, kobold summoner

Scarab Sages

I am stating up my goblin gunslinger (pistolero) so if there is still an opening I am still interested.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I also have a friend interested in playing a kobold.

Thanks for the reply Red Ramage. I wouldn't want to step on any gobbo ninja toes.

Good luck with the recruitment.

still a free place? rogue or barbarian would be my choice!


Currently drawing up a dragon-blooded kobold sorcerer, if you're still open.


I'm Lunchbox's friend. I am interested in playing a kobold or hobgob, but if you're full that's fine. I also realize that a couple guys posted ahead of me, so they should get in before I do if you don't have enough slots.


El Ronza here. I scrapped my kobold sorcerer idea, and went with a necromancer instead. She's an arrogant, selfish prat who thinks she's destined for greatness. I plan on building her to eventually raise and control undead at every opportunity. Hopefully that would help her fit in!
