[OOC] Goblin Treats -- The All Groups OOC

[bananabadger]

Welcome!

This is the OOC thread for all groups, players and fellow travelers in the 2024 Scavenger Hunt.

Have a cupcake!

(And thanks to Plaid Peregrine for AI prompting much of the artwork you will see in this game, including Cupcake Goblin, here!)

Attention Competitive Teams! Please place your goblin intro post (a bit about your gob and their stat block) into the Game Thread by the end of March 31. On April 1, I will be making the first competitive game posts in each team's thread. Good luck! Hit me up if you have any questions!

[KingHabby]

I'm sorry, where is the Game Thread?

It's here!
Apologies...it looks like I put in your name with a space after King, so your access didn't register initially. Should be good to go now!

Question! We are writing ten game posts, one per day, and ten epic posts, which can be posted whenever, as long as it's before the end. Do I have that right?

Are the game posts more mechanics and the epic posts are more RP?

Yes! 10 game posts and 10 Goblin Epic posts!

The intent was that the game posts should be more eyewitness reporting and similar to an regular PbP game post, while the epic posts are more the PR-spin "whose to say that island wasn't filled with a Cyclopes and his sheep ... but we prevailed" style-bragging.

And yes, the epic posts can be done at the end, or as you go along.

Hello fellow wildlings! I am just landing here now after 2 big days, day so i guess i'm a bit behind, but I also guess that doesn't matter so much as we are not competitive, phew!! gonna get my goblin up and going now. good luck everyone

[bananabadger]

All's good Wishkamon! The non-competitive games aren't tied to a strict schedule, so you'll be starting at the perfect time (cause that will be the time you'll be starting!).

[Leviticus]

Welcome, Wishkamon! Glad to have you with us!

Question on post rate for competitive teams ...

Our rules state that "...your team will have 24 hours for your next post from the moment the GM makes a post."

Barring some event, I will always make my post within 24 hours of your game post, sometimes right after, sometimes later in the period depending on my availability.

I am not always able to field requests to move a post up sooner, but will try to accommodate requests to hold off on my post if it fits my ability to get to a computer and compose and if it does not seem to favor one time zone over another.

Hi, teams! With the weekend coming up, be sure to let your GMs know whether or not you want to take a break for some of the weekend, all of it, or none of it!

I'm really enjoying reading all the threads. They all branch out in really clever ways and really reflect the players in each group. You all are incredibly talented!

[lostcheerio]

You're doing a great job with this multi-threaded, multi-secreted, multi-faceted event! Keeping everything straight must be an administrative octopus. But we're loving it.

[Fillyjonk]

Hard agree -- this is a great event. Really fun and fresh and creative! Kudos.

[bananabadger]

Thanks! It’s the work of 3 GMs—with Leviticus and Yoshimi—plus one play-tester, AI-art prompter turned feral goblin player, PlaidPerregrine!

THANK YOU WE HAD A GREAT TIME Thanks to Badger, Yoshi, Leviticus, and Plaid. This was creative and fun to do! Shaz is mad I forgot to put the gobbo version of YOLO (which would be YOL5T) in the epic, BUT OH WELL. SERIOUSLY PREESH YOU GUYS.
