Kobold Replacement

[latent saddle]

[Updates and discussion below]

hopefully this isn't too similar to extinction lore, feedback very welcome

[zinc marsh]

it sounds like an FB craft lore

specifically this

[latent saddle]

k

was especially worried about that part

potential replacement in

[zinc marsh]

I'd wait for others to appear, but the lore still retains the overlying issue of "I'm angry. I hate []. I'm gonna build the scariest craft in neter just to fuck them over".

while also not stating anything about the craft itself

[latent saddle]

yeah

[zinc marsh]

I like the og lore for stating characteristics and lore behind the creation of the design, like what it'd look like and why it was built that way. But that's literally up to neekap. Because if he doesn't want characteristics stated (maybe the craft needs a full on change, removing one iconic aspect), then you'd have to go full edgelord and only state the feelings behind the craft.

Overall, does feel a lot like the extinky, but directed towards SD (which I think is too edgy). Good for worldbuilding, but otherwise 🤷‍♂️ .

[latent saddle]

I don't really want to go for the craft description because it would be hard to keep within reasonable amounts of boasting

also just spawn it in

[warped plinth]

Hmm

[zinc marsh]

The guy you need

[warped plinth]

I like it, but it’s too derivative of the stinky’s lore

Need something unique

Especially since it’s one of the GT big bads

[latent saddle]

I'll look into a different angle tomorrow, kinda late

[warped plinth]

Cool cool

I’ll be here to help

[latent saddle]

I could go for humorous, though idk if it'd fit the craft's role

probably would work best as a serious piece since

[warped plinth]

Haha yeah

[latent saddle]

potential candidate: experience of an enemy crew after an encounter

[unique python]

Sounds good.

[warped plinth]

Could do

[latent saddle]

“I awoke with a start. It was early morning, the sun a thin sliver over a ridge on the horizon. Officers were scurrying about in the hall, nervously discussing the campaign ahead. One rushed in with an alert when a thunderous crack rang out from some distance off the starboard side. It sounded as if the sky itself was splitting in two. Through a window I watched as pieces of flaming iron flew through the air, violently cast off like they were pieces of light paper. Off in the distance, advancing from behind a cloud bank, a dark silhouette moved closer, illuminated only by the glow of cannons firing. That was the last I saw before the world went black.”

hopefully not too boastful

[latent saddle]

@zinc marsh

[unique python]

Maybe a more technical description, as if a military report?

I guess this could be fine.

[zinc marsh]

Not really my taste 👍
You should just go off what neekap thinks

[latent saddle]

I don't want to do that for reasons outlined above

@warped plinth

[warped plinth]

Meh

Nonspecific

Could be any giant GT ship

[latent saddle]

hmm

@warped plinth what would you suggest I go for?

[latent saddle]

I could add a snippet on the crew member's knowledge (and/or fear) of the kob

[warped plinth]

Hmm

@latent saddle when was the kob made

[latent saddle]

wdym

[warped plinth]

Like in the Neter timeline

[latent saddle]

I'm not sure

[warped plinth]

Is it very new (within 15y) older (up to 200y) or ancient (200y and up)

[latent saddle]

game desc doesn't say

[warped plinth]

Your kob

How do you imagine it

[latent saddle]

I would say recent but not super recent, like past 75 yrs at most
