I feel that if I don’t repost this somewhere every year at some point, I’m living my life incorrectly.

What is even..

Some backstory. In FFXIV, for a very short spurt of time, there was a glitch where the upper body of a model would lock and freeze in place while the rest would still perform animations from other emotes and attacks. The results were pretty incredible for those that could get the lock to happen.

It was quickly hot-fixed out, but not quickly enough for the above video to get made, un/fortunately.

Concept: a tabletop roleplaying campaign where all of the party members are drawn a tribe of Lawful Good kobolds serving a gold dragon. A very, very patient gold dragon.

Potential PC concepts include:

  • A paladin of Bahamut with an incredible Olde English accent (affected, of course – they think that’s how paladins talk, and no-one has been able to persuade them otherwise)
  • A dragonsoul sorcerer with enthusiastically terrible aim, who mostly uses their high Charisma to apologise
  • A rogue ostensibly seeking redemption for their extremely complicated Dark Past, the particulars of which never seem to be the same twice
  • A bard who serves as the tribe’s lorekeeper, and plays the role with a great deal more confidence than their actual grasp of the historical record warrants
  • A long-suffering fighter whose uncommon command of common sense is mitigated by their poor observational skills

More:

  • Lawful Good or not, humans mistrust kobolds on principle, so certain measures have to be taken when your quests take you to human lands. Past efforts include three kobolds standing on each other’s shoulders with a hat of disguise (it generally ends poorly), and “I’m actually a very short dragonborn” (it works more often than you’d think).
  • On the flip side, trying to “act natural” when confronted with other monstrous humanoids in order to take advantage of their automatic assumption that you’re on Team Evil. Unfortunately, Lawful Good kobolds have very little notion of how a Chaotic Evil person behaves; fortunately, most larger baddies don’t really pay attention to kobolds anyway.
  • Pissing off other dragons by converting their kobold servants to Lawful Goodness.

(Late in the campaign, there’s a scenario where the party has to go undercover as ordinary minions, and the whole thing is basically them Clark Kenting their way through a series of potentially lethal misadventures, where the challenge is less surviving and more getting through it all without giving away the fact that you’ve got like 20 Strength and fifteen hit dice, or whatever.)
