We will show them! (Halfling village builder ISG)
« on: March 05, 2017, 05:46:28 am »

We will show them!

Intro
Somewhere in the middle of the big, wild, forest in the west, far off from any settlement or any borders, lies a round clearing.
It is not that large, but compared to the group gathered in its center, it looks gigantic.
There are 9 people surrounding what seems to be the leader of the group.
A bunch of carts and carriages were parked a few meters away, the draught animals grazing nearby.
The group's clothes look cheap and outworn, some have daggers or small swords strapped to their sides,
some the tools of their profession.

The leader looks around himself, studying the faces of the others.
He then begins to speak, his voice sounding pressed and a little higher than you would expect it from a human male.
Well, he is no human male. He is a halfling, just like the other members of the group.
The halflings eyes lie on him, tensely listening to what he has to say.
"Mean tallfolks. Chasing halflings out of town! Say halflings steal and spy. Halflings never steal! Halflings borrow! Halflings bring back... most times!"
Some of the halflings are nodding in agreement, some murmur about their unfair treatment in human towns. The leader continues.
"Greenskins are dumb and stinky, and tallfolks don't chase them away. They don't want us because we are cleverer than them! They invent lies to make others hate us! But we will show them!"
Rejoicing. He tells them exactly what they want to hear. He knows how they feel. They come from different settlements across the land.
There are some villages and towns with larger halfling populations, but most of the time there are only a couple of halflings living in a human settlement.
They have a reputation for being thieves, spies, and of course responsible for all the bad things that happen to people all the time. Well, their race tends to be drawn to that kind of activies, but most halflings are normal, hard-working citizens.
Unfortunately, small villages with their superstitions and prejudices don't make it easier for halflings to live there in peace,
and so it happens that sometimes halflings from different villages form groups and head out into unclaimed land to find a new future for themselves.
This group is one of those.
"We will build our own town! Biggest halfling town, bigger than all tallfolks towns! We will show them!"
More rejoicing. There is no going back. They won't be welcome anyway, and so the only possibility is looking forward.
"Let's begin!"


Hello there. I've decided to start a new ISG (Illustrated Suggestion Game). It's a village/colony builder, like most of my other ones.
I hope you guys will enjoy it. :)

Before we start with the first turn, I would like you to choose a leader from the group.
You can vote for one of the halflings and if anything should be changed - the name, age, profession, if he has any special armor or weapon - whatever you like)

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Dipri is the last name. ;)
The names were randomly chosen from the Gnome names on http://fantasynamegenerators.com (pretty fantastic site!).

Reasons why Lelvyt should be leader
  • They have the best weapon out of all of them and decent armor
  • Weapons are good for killing things
  • She is a butcher, she can butcher our enemy's and inspire our own in a battle
  • She isn't too old nor to young so she wont die from old age any time soon
  • She has green hair, you gotta have green hair
  • She has one of the best names

.... You've doomed us all. Granted. Everyone except for traps are executed. Random sci-fi nonsense is required to be taught in schools.
A cute intersex harem with everyone in love with the androgynous king and smart and useful enough into pushing the kingdom forward.

As I said, you can alter the person if you want.

Also, the average lifespan of halflings is 150 years. At least that of my halflings ;)

For those of you that are interested:
Snodeddwir and Redbucirt are brothers.
Unklihuth and Togbyss are married and have a daughter, Fliraal.
Flivairwin and Klenzbyvem are married.
Those marriages happened under human law, you can always define your own laws and traditions for this halfling village.
