    You are now a goat, plus three to charisma.

    suddenly the time i saw viv talking about buying a goat costume makes a sick amount of sense.

    Techno and electronica are decidedly warforged territory. So unless I have the goblins having invented the warforged... Which is not a half bad solution, honestly.

    Or I could ditch warforged, but I mean. Daft Punk warforged.

    Wait, if Bowie is gonna be the goblin king, why aren't the goblins doing prog rock? Too close to the other rock stylings?

    VMICjI7.jpg?1
  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    Because Bowie is glam?

    I might be the worst person ever and give the goblins disco

    Or if I could find a way to distinguish club music as its own thing, maybe that, but it is really kind of a medley of like, pop, hip hop, and electronic.

    Alternate history where Disco took off and Rock and Roll is dead.

    Disco is dead.

    They murdered him, and they are not sorry

    I can't for th elife of me work maptools, gatsby is busy, you lack confidence, and so on.

    You may not be able to remember, but I can barely work maptools as a player.

    I'm not sure if I still want to do the four human kingdoms based on the Beatles now that humanity is more pop than anything

    But I can't give up Mad Empress Ono

    Alright, the only two genres I have left in my massive list are industrial and reggae, and the only races I have are githzerai, thri-kreen, and shardminds

    Any suggestions as to which goes where?

  • ZonugalZonugal Lord of the Dead The UnderworldRegistered User regular
    Githzerai could be reggae if you flavor it right.

    Just make them sail the Astral plains on islands of mini-Jamaica.

    those are both terrible suggestions

    githzerai would obviously be new age

    any major dude will tell you
  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    Shardmind as Industrial
    Thri-Kreen as Reggae
    Githzerai as New Age

    Make Johhny the Black a demon hunter!

  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    I've been thinking avenger, for him.

    Remember I am working with fourth edition here.

    But avengers are effectively demon hunters.

  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    I guess I need gods too at some point. I mean the obvious choice is each race has a god it worships representing the musical style in some way, but that is kind of boring. I could also go with no gods, only deified great heroes, which allows me to keep certain folks still in the game.

    I'm building a campaign setting loosely based around the history of rock and roll

    Genres fall in line with races and bands with adventuring parties

    Many famous artists are either monarchs or have been deified

    please tell me there will be jokes about ludicrously esoteric genres

    that is a thing that needs to happen

    Thomas Petty- A human ranger who frequentlt travels with an extremely varied band of people, including a dwarf, a minotaur, and a halfling. While not a formal ruler in any sense, his caravan frequently serves as a travelling city in its own right.

    What are you thinking for Alice Cooper?

    I think he'd be an awesome npc/element in this?

    2evdovo.jpg
  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    Oh shit Alice Cooper would be good.

    Half-orc is solidly hard rock, not sure what class though. Maybe like, warden.

    Maybe even bard.

    Probably a bard, given his radio show

    Decidedly apolitical, very well defended

    Lady G, of an aristocrastic family, trained in the arts of wizardry

    Mad Empress Ono strikes again!

    I promise she isn't going to be the villain I use every time

    Actually I guess it will depend mostly on party makeup

    I want an all dragonborn party that just goes on wacky rapventures
