You had me at Dwarves. They donât get enough love.
And beards or not, itâs always nice to see female dwarves! I never really cared about the all dwarves are males thing.

These look amazing! If I could just make one suggestion. How about adding a cait sith. If you donât know what that means a cait sith is a monster cat in Celtic folklore. You could give it the ability to temporarily steal your enemies good luck and like most cats, it could act cold to you but still care about you deep down.
If you did that, Iâm afraid weâd have to put him down. Maybe just write it so that the full moon is when theyâre at the peak of their power like the Marvel character Moon Knight.
Super dark and creepy. Think the Delightful Children from Down the Lane. Also, please make the doll less sexy.
Yea I was thinking about having it were the reader can go down thred certain paths to play through the story. Of course the three paths Wil be the same in a sence, just different on how you overcome the challenges.
I feel the stats could be more flavoured towards things that dwarves would find important!
The ability checks should be more of a test of how dwarfy you are than anything else!
I do admit the idea right now seems really dry, but that is why I curious on your opinions. Every idea you people give is important.
Well I was just going to use the four basic stats for my series.
Yup I understand all that, I just kinda reckon they could be in any game and donât complement the fact that youâre playing as a dwarf.
Itâs like making the game about being a werewolf cop and then having your stats be martial prowess, intelligence, and charisma, rather than, for example, âperceptionâ for how your increased senses improve your detection abilities, and âmindfulnessâ for resisting the urge to transform and murder your suspects (which you can always choose to ignore and just rip into someone). The abilities give you the sense that you are going to be roleplaying as a cop werewolf who has to balance the increased powers granted to him by being a werewolf with the side effect of having to really focus on controlling when the werewolf comes out.
For your game, the stats donât really suggest that youâre playing a dwarf. Theyâd work exactly the same if you were playing a human.
Well shit, back to the drawing board.
I was going to say have the there main stats, not including magic because Dwarves canât tap into their magical willpower. Which is why the use scripted runes.
Well after the three(four) main stats I was going to add like talents. Like smiting, mining/smelting, melee combat and ranged combat. But having those combat talents would just go against the martial stats, so yea.
Well I was going to use the four stats for my other planned series, but I could I chnage it if the reader believes that it is too simple.
I was mostly thinking âoh cool my moms a Phoenixâ would be the reaction to people reading lol. But the choosing what monster your mom is does sound very interesting⌠if I can think of other monsters for your mom to be I might do this.
I was thinking that you(mostly Castor) creates the club to investigate whatâs going on in town and some of them join because they are also concerned with whatâs going on Logan would be an example of this but others like Geralt were forced as a detention alternative.
Any cute pics lol?
That is a power up form but itâs super hard to control at first so thatâs why he would go berserk.
Lol already settled on having the sisters be smart and ruthless and their doll is mostly graceful looking and looks like a maid. Lol they want to feel like the royalty they think they are.
Glad I could help.
That could probably work, but I think we could create it in a way that feels more organic than just dumping all of them in the same room. For example, the club could start with you and Castor. Winter could join up willingly, believing that being part of a new club that helps people could help her depression, and Moon, Geralt, and River joining up because the alternative was detention.
Thatâs five ROâs already. For the others, we could try to raise certain stats or do side missions that convince them to join us. Odette would be the easiest while more anti-social kids like Quentin or Alice would be harder. We could also have some decisions that could determine whether or not our current members decide to quit. Some new ideas that I think would show how much our club has grown, while also showing how all the characters grow as friends.
That actually gives me an idea. Maybe that powered up form could come in during the night a werewolf turns thirteen. During the day, theyâd have to leave town into the nearby wilderness so that when the sun sets, the young cubs powered up form wonât be able to hurt anyone while on its rampage. When the sun rises, the form disappears and the werewolf will be able to control it every time he turns on the night of a full moon.
Loganâs quest could be that one of his brothers decided not to leave and rampages through town. You and other members of the club could try to stop him from hurting anyone.
If you do it without seriously hurting him, Logan will join up. If you do a lot of grievous harm to him however, Logan will never join. This could also be a quest that could risk losing Moon, because vampires and werewolves always go hand in hand. Just an idea, really. Itâs all up to you.
All right. But maybe you could try giving them a darker edge. Something that highlights just how unnaturally close they are to each other.
I can tell you that would be my first reaction but given that the MC is a perfectly ordinary human with no special powers related to that, Iâd probably eventually give up and go look at that meme I made of Mokou (âMornful Phoenixâ) standing proudly in front of a wall of fire with the text âI Live! I Die! I Live Again!â because if my characterâs mom is a phoenix I want to be able to die and be reborn in fire whenever I find that convenient.
It would be fine if this pretty much never comes up except maybe thereâs a plot beat where the MC gets a sprained ankle and I have these options:
That is exactly the option I would make dependent on whether or not your mother is a phoenix because that is the only plausible reason. It could even tie in with the conflict because how openly and flagrantly you abuse the ability to resolve any minor injury by being reborn in fire will color whether youâre viewed as a human or an honorary monster.
It might be interesting to see a story where the MC is someone who woke up from an enchanted sleep, seeing how their country got along without them, while friends/family passed away or moved on.
And so as not to fall into the âwoke up with a kissâ, the player could always be woken up some other way. I mean, being prodded with a stick always worked when I was a kid
Standard Rip Van Wrinkle archetype. Iâd say go for it if you have an idea for what changes thereâd be. Works in SF too; instead of magic theyâre in a cyropod until medicine advances enough to cure (syndrome).
Okay so Iâve been on this site for a while but just made a new account today because remembering passwords is hard. Anyway I am currently working on a new medieval choicescript game that is largely inspired by Lords of Aswick (my all time favorite game out there). The game will go through the entire life of a commoner in kingdom much like how Lords of Aswick went through the entire life of a noble. However despite being commoner you may be able to attain ranks and titles in the future for those who liked the whole being a lord thing. The game is very early in development as I am very new to choicescript so I do not have a lot to say. You can count on me to be working on it though as I have been addicted to COG for around 4 years now and I am not giving up anytime soon. The reason why I am making it is because there have not been a lot medieval WIPâs that have caught my eye as of late so I thought why not make my own? It is really the only genre I am interested in. Let me know if you have any recommendations of medieval WIPâs or if you are interested in giving me ideas for my own.
Iâm glad that your interested in the commoner aspect of the game. Hopefully youâll be interested in the game as you clearly are in feudalism and medieval society! What would you think of the MC attaining a knighthood or other noble only rank and having to deal with disdain and competition of nobles with the same rank?
Thinking of romantic stuff for the female ROs is proving to be difficult lol. Iâm a specialist in gay/Yaoi/BL writing thatâs why I made the male RO hot monster guys that I would most likely date. But when I made the girls I was just making girl characters I would be friends with. Lol if this keeps up this story will mostly be for Yaoi lovers and straight girls ^^â
I think that I would like a choice where I can do that or alternatively I could be mayor and then I will pick to be mayor, pretty much. It is 100% a thing that happened.
If the character does something sufficently impressive the reigning monarch* could plausibly offer them a knighthood and then the character could ask if instead the monarch would sign this town charter. The nobles would treat them pretty similarly but instead of trying to prove themselves as a knight the main character will just ignore them and go try to impress guildmasters and bankers instead. And the Crown will approve of this because the deep secret of the feudal system is that actually kings hated it because nobles had an annoying tendency to be uppity.
*(title note: reigning monarch is King/Queen and spouse is Queen Consort/King Consort; it is plausible a reigning woman would style herself King so when people hear her title they donât hear it as Queen (Consort) if inheritance is male preference)
I was going to offer to help but then I remembered I once binge-read Bamboo Blade because itâs about a laid-back girls kendo club rather than an intense sports manga and ever since I keep getting yaoi ads.
So, uh, I guess Iâd probably play your game anyways.
