A Thing, I guess

[9:55 PM] Flamy: Yo, Quibs, you got a minute?
[9:57 PM] Flamy: Got a uh, a new idea in mind. For that thing.(edited)
[9:58 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Which thing
[10:01 PM] Flamy: That thing.
[10:01 PM] Flamy: The pod thing.
[10:02 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": A-ah
[10:02 PM] BOTTatsumaki: 🆙  |  QuiBee leveled up!
[10:03 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Sure I'm not doing anything
[10:08 PM] Flamy: Anyway, so the thought was that the beginning of the world is staged by like, a deity of chaos creates humans, and then has a spat with the local deity of order on how humans should behave. They eventually get into some violent disputes, with some humans participating in the wars, but in the end, humanity is forced underground, because the overworld got destroyed.

Fast forward half a millenium later, humans have the guts to now look outside of their subterranean confines, and find that aboveground is no longer fucked, with new people roaming the earth, such as the Bangaa, Viera, Moogle, and Nu Mou. Many come out of their holes (literally) to make a new society in this realm reborn.
[10:09 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Seems okay, the party could consist of a scouting group from one of these subterranean shelters
[10:09 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Would give them a purpose
[10:09 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": However this is diverging heavily from preestablished system races, which means homebrewing
[10:09 PM] Flamy: And then another fast forward some decades later, to the point where humans are a thing in the world, but are kind of a minority...?
[10:10 PM] Flamy: I think the system supports Viera and Bangaa. If not, I can substitute the other races as necessary(edited)
[10:11 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Yeah, figuring out what system is best is also something we should do sooner rather than later. I know nothing about the one you've suggested, but I agree that it should be one of our lesser known systems
[10:11 PM] Flamy: Oh, and gigantic monsters. Shit, I just made Monster Hunter.
[10:11 PM] Flamy: AAAAAAGUH
[10:11 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": You actually made Gurren Lagann
[10:11 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": -mechs
[10:12 PM] Flamy: Well, yeah, that too, but I was thinking that people would basically hunt these gigantic monsters in groups to protect society, get paid, and/or get gear.
[10:12 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Hmm hmm, could work. Would allow for frequent party swaps
[10:12 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": I actually kind of like the idea of monster hunter the tabletop
[10:13 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": I'll have to read the ruleset tomorrow
[10:21 PM] Tom | Renegade Prime: i've never played monster hunter, but I have played Shadow of the Colossus and its sounds really awesome as a tabletop, but it seems like the GM would have to create really interesting boss fights
[10:25 PM] sandworm - DnD 5e GM: Well as for monster hunter, people were working on a monster hunter TTRPG system at one point
[10:25 PM] sandworm - DnD 5e GM: and there is homebrewed stuff for Dnd 5e for it
[10:25 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Really it just means the GM has to get creative with whatever system we're using
[10:26 PM] Flamy: Just what a GM does, no?
[10:26 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": They will have to basically make a new bbeg every single session
[10:26 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Or at least every combat
[10:26 PM] Flamy: I mean, there can always be a plot further than "we're monster hunters".
[10:26 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Possibly, but we don't want it super complex
[10:27 PM] Flamy: Of course, of course.
[10:27 PM] Cat - Seas of Westfall 5e GM: 5e is so modular and flexible
[10:27 PM] BOTTatsumaki: 🆙  |  CatalinaG ❀ leveled up!
[10:27 PM] Cat - Seas of Westfall 5e GM: you can do anything with it
[10:27 PM] Cat - Seas of Westfall 5e GM: thanks bot
[10:27 PM] Flamy: I mean, it was just going to involve like, a- nice- n empire or something like that.
[10:27 PM] Flamy: Maybe subterranean cultists?
[10:27 PM] Flamy: Maybe they got into animism?
