Noble guildmasters -
Guild builder is coming soon. Before that happens Id like to have a thread where we discuss the races that will reside within the city which you will be part of.
If you don't know guild builder: It is a game im planning for the past year or more - The game is about a colonized city established in a new unknown continent. The city is under constant attack by mythical creatures that surround it
You take the role of guilds inside that city who use the absence of authority and law to shape the city and influence it as you see fit.
So what races compose this new colony?
Make your suggestions, the most favorable will be in the final game
You can suggest common known races(like elves, orcs, etc) but if you want to create your own special race consider these notes:
*What attributes or special abilities this race has?
*Try not to make races too overpowered, if you give them something very strong counter that with something weak
*What personalities are common for this race?
* Give us some few examples of names for this race so we get the feel of it
* How common is this race in the colony?
Happy race crafting :^)
(in pic related - a sample picture of how a game update would look like)

I should probably clarify, if it wasn't clear - it is low medieval fantasy settings.
So no guns or technology.
However if you have some weird idea about machine-like races that use swords go right ahead

The Raven-folk, they don't fly like their namesake, but the black feathers and blood soaked beaks was plenty. They are clever and sneaky, not to mention the claws and beak are plenty dangerous in a pinch, but their bones are brittle and they are prone to cowardice. They tend to be opportunistic and selfish, murder and theft is very common crimes for them. They eat alot of bloody meat. Common names are: Rasher, Aeryn, and Layrn. They are fairly uncommon, just enough for people to not be surprised to see one or five.

Right, a bit more detail
Centaurs don't just describe the classic horse-man. Depending on where their from, they can be deer-man, stag-man, antilope-man, mountaingoat-man, ect. Very diverse, but still globally the same. Centaurs are fast, but if they injure their legs they are almost always better off dead. They are capable of hauling big loads and endurance is second nature. Also in their nature is a herd mentality and anger issues. They anger easily, rage is common and the leader of the herd almost always got there through violence. Omnivores, but eat mostly fruits and vegetables.

Beholders, Mind Flayers, or Tana'rii.
Gnomes aren't used very often that I've seen, so that might be interesting.
Memory Eaters could live here. They resemble pigs with wings and a trunk like a tapir. They are inherent-level psychics who's main form of consumption is using the tapir trunk to inhale memory from a target. Memory Eaters are sentient.

Tana'rii and their Arch enemies, the Baatezu, are demonic beings who inhabit the lower regions, hell like planes of existence full of torture pain and mordor-similar landscape. They are evil to the core, and both use caste systems, with varying abilities and stats relevant to their various castes, the least for example, Dreetch, Lemure, and Nuperibo, aren't even intelligent (int score 0), while the more middle and upper castes are progressively more intelligent malicious and magical. Their explicit origin varies some according to which version of them you are using, but my personal way of simplifying all that is; one group is chaotic evil and the other is lawful evil, and their primary dispute is which way of doing evil is better/more effective. They have personal names and their own belongings, practice crafts and trade, have guilds, and live in cities with laws (usually). Magic users summon both Tana'rii and Baatezu as teachers, assistants, ritual assistants, servants, and warriors. Their primary coinage is the soul, a coin with an image of a soul in flames on it, each one of these coins made of soul matter drawn from mortals packed into coin press vices. Social movement is limited but rising in rank is possible, in unintelligent castes members are simply selected, but more usually it is done on merit. Being "promoted" involves grueling torture and distillation of the promotee's personality and evil into a substance, which is then placed in a mold, hardens, and a new life begins with the same consciousness (or a new consciousness made from soul fragments). Both sides do this.
Both sides are lead by great devils, baatezu or tana'rii of immense size and power who are as old as time, and put their by deities as punishment. Great devils are usually travel-restricted in some way and never leave the lower planes, seldom leaving their main fortresses for any reason, except and unless a world is ending, in which case they are no longer restrained.

Forgot something.
Both Tana'rii and Baatezu have kings princes lords ladies duchesses and so on.
Additionally and finally, both sets of law are made to be as vague, confusing, misleading, and tricky as possible, and near total corruption in civil service is the norm.

My only probelm is that im having a real hard time imagining them living beside humans and the likes in a city.
They seem too developed and plot-wired.
If you can explaing how such creatures would behave in a city then i can maybe use it.
Worst case i can make those races subplot villains or questgivers for some events.

The easiest way to use them is most likely going to be some form of summoned appearance, rather than any present population.
If demons can be summoned to a world however it most likely means that tieflings exist as a small minority of the overall world population.
Re Mind Flayers, Beholders
Mind Flayers are an outsider race who's main adventuring class is psychic, (though they are capable of being mages or clerics as well), and their main dietary needs are brain matter and brain fluid, though they need air and etc to exist, as they breathe and sleep. They might live in underground places in the city, but there would be few of them and they would definitely be a shady untrusted minority in the danker parts of the city. Information dealers, dealers of contraband substances, that sort of thing. Mind Flayers do practice crafts have guilds and coins, but their main population is the outer planes so there are relatively few traders and dealers who visit the material world, and what they sell is often very exotic.
Beholders are carnivores who only need meat and blood to live, though they do sleep. They come in many types and range from reasonably sensible beings to pants on head autistic shrieking intensifies. Their fearsome eye powers might mean they are only existing in the world, and not in the city specifically, but they do practice trade and they do mercenary themselves out at times. They live several hundred years, though a select few minority called Elder Orbs live thousands of years. This minority's long life is genetic, and not related to magic. Beholder society is lead by matriarchs for the most part, though Elder Orbs play leadership roles as well.
Keep in mind that I'm simply telling you the information as I've read in my own sources, you changing things from what I said is fine with me.

Actually I have beholders as external encounters (part of the mythical creatures that attack)

I once allowed a player to build a nuclear weapon capable of blowing up a sun in a supernova. There is very little that I think is extreme.
However I would use some care about where exactly you put them in the city, as they are evil(ish) beings and might not be very friendly. Sewers and under-city regions is where I would put them.

Well started to work on their base stats, had to give them 3 special features to make it work:
'Mindflayer' - (Medium Race), Minority(10%), -Str, +Int, Psionic, Mind-sucker, Outlandish, Temperate, Proud, Evil
Special:
Psionic: Psionic characters can sense motives and read the minds of lesser intellegent creatures. Psionic characters gain +1 mind-reading bonus to dodge, awareness and persuasion against creatures with less than 2 intelligence.
Mind-sucker: This race feeds on brains instead of food. The brains are harvested from beggers of different races in regions under the guild's influence.
Outlandish: Outlandish races are uniquely odd, they look and behave like nothing of this world. Outlanders take -3 penalty to score when socializing with different races

The Flesh Eaters.
Fearsome and monstrously strong creatures that appeared to the Colony in the first months of its founding, the enigmatic race known only as the Flesh Eaters are native to the continent, possessing fantastical engineering prowess and a peerless knowledge of the arcane. Their intellect and cunning is marred by an instinctual hungering for sentient flesh and warm blood, however, and they abhor the touch of all that is holy. The residents of the colony, then, find themselves able to barter with the Flesh Eaters in animals and corpses first and material goods later.
The Flesh Eaters are physically powerful cyclopean humanoids with mouths full of rending teeth that render their speech garbled and mealy. While individual bands of Flesh Eaters war with each other and assault the colony, there is one particularly liberal cabal that treats civilly with the colony, offering knowledge and tools for prisoners, corpses and raw materials. This collective of more level-headed Flesh Eaters draws the genocidal ire of their kinsmen, who hunt and harry them mercilessly for what they perceive to be high treason against themselves and their dark, enigmatic god.
From what the scholars and magi of the Colony have been able to figure out, the Flesh Eaters are descended from a subterranean race native to the continent and have drastically evolved with the aid of fell magics. While this magic makes them strong, it renders them extremely susceptible to divine magic and silver. Although they can walk in the sun, it causes them much discomfort and dulls their senses, and so they prefer whenever possible to act at night. Since most Flesh Eaters are genocidally xenophobic and those that treat with the Colony are secretive and standoffish, the inner workings of their culture and sacrifice-heavy religion are a mystery. Their language is guttural and harsh, and their names tend to be short strings of snarls translated as adjectives, verbs or animals; Reaving Crow, Fire Glutton, Lights-No-Fires and Kneeling Wasp are some of the few Flesh Eaters seen trading within the Colony.

Nightmare Crawlers
Nightmare Crawlers are a lizard-like humanoid race that have a deep seeded instinct to fly despite their lack of wings. Often, in their spare time, they can be found trying to create flying machines however they're not the smartest race and haven't succeeded in extended flight yet. While they're not smart, they are stronger than average.
Nightmare Crawlers sometimes have violent outbursts but only when truly angered
Names: Ali, Raut, Gurl, Hish

The Nightmare-Crawler is very durable. a Nightmare-Crawler natural endurance grants him more health and faster regeneration along with proficiency for mining.
The Nightmare-Crawler is often strong. Their strength allows them to carry heavier armor without penalty. Strength also improves their ability to chop wood, forge, and fight in close combat.
The Nightmare-Crawler is often repulsive and without charm. The Nightmare-Crawler is unlikely to make many friends. This uncharismatic nature makes them worse at leadership, praying and persuasion.
The Nightmare-Crawler has a dull mind. The Nightmare-Crawler requires more time to learn skills and gain perks than the other races. Their disabilities also make it harder for them to practice bureaucracy, spellcraft and enchanting
Members of the Nightmare-Crawler race are seen often as Cheerful, Naughty and Wroth.
An average Nightmare-Crawler is of Medium size, they are a Minority(10%), race within the city.
Special:
Reptilian: Reptilians recover additional +1HP while resting. Repltilians deal additional 1 venomous damage in melee attacks(Effective against non-reptilian living creatures only)

The Gheuse are a trickster race, infiltrating humanoid communities and overtaking their people. They seek only one thing; complete domination of the world, and they seek to do this by controlling all resources and governments. They're connected in a quasi hivemind through their god, Jahway, which allows them to receive information and commands from other of their kind. Their males are very intelligent, but hideous and can only control groups through their females, who the majority of are very attractive to their targeted group. Special abilities include innate skills at lying and making money, the ability to actually sense gold, blood magic, and the ability to remove all hostility towards them. Their weakness is once they're found out, the targeted group will stop at nothing to eradicate them and can only be stopped by outside influences.

Skaven: Cowardly, cunning, and deceitful these ratlike humanoids prefer to stab others in the back when they can get away with it. Rumours abound that they swarm the deeper parts of the sewers and catacombs but no one is really brave enough to check, where there's one skaven there's usually thirty or forty more nearby.
The Ocassional Skaven gets to feeling very mercenary and ends up working for someone besides the skaven hive but these are rather rare and not many trust them due to the fickle nature of a Skaven's attention span, one minute they'll be your companion, the next they're stealing your money after stabbing you in the knee.

Anyhow for this forum scenario i can keep it skaven

I had hard time commenting on that because it is just fluff, but then i had an idea of how I will use your books as an in-game mechanic.
In guild creation you will have to pick 3 books, according to the books you pick your starting point changes.
So for example a guild that picked "Sand in our boots" will get some extra desert traveling equipment. Guild with "3 centuries a warrior" will get some extra quality swords. Guild with "A dance in shadows" will get some daggers and hooded outfits, and so on.
its a role-play way to implement starting equipment, I think its better than the common "pick your equipment" but do correct me if you feel differently.

That sounds fine, however, I also have a much longer list of assorted books and items that you could use if you wanted too.
I'm also unclear on exactly what the benefit would be of choosing; the deep, the bezny manuscript, the historia, the east in its majesty, or the long tale of the world.

I will let the player describe a bit about "why" he chose those books(as jaundice did). According to the books and the reason behind picking them the player will get an equipment. I will also let players invent their own books if they feel nothing of the current books feel fitting to what they are after.
The exact choice of equipment will be mine, I will intemperate your book choices to starting equipment.

How do you feel about a decentralized model in which each guild is situated in a city of their own, rather than all competing in one big city?
Also and further, are there any guilds already to be set?
There are some guilds that (in real life) virtually every city had at least 1 branch office of, such as the banking guild, the guild of stone masons and castle builders, the guild of road builders and maintainers, the king's hunter's guild (a private force of hunters under a royal's command) and of course the various trade guilds.

In the thick forests that cover the land there live capricious beings known as Fae who delight in interacting with outside races who enter their domain. Many of these interactions are "pranks" which generally result in embarrassment, loss of direction, death, or various other unpleasant fates. Sometimes however they will find a mortal that interests them greatly and will seduce them and leave the woman with child or a man a few months later will find a babe hidden in something like a rose bush. Human Villages who have lived inside these forests or even just outside of them have slowly grown to be different from their kin due to this occasional fae liaison in their ancestry and have developed several unique traits.
The first is that they always look like they belong somehow no matter where they are, as if they were born for the role that they are currently (or pretending to be) in. This gives them much leeway in regards to their actions as no one naturally questions what they are doing, because it "feels" like they are doing what they are suppose to. Another trait they have is an almost preternatural ability to predict how a person or animal will react or think to a given situation making them great planners, trappers, and diplomats. Of course due to their fae heritage many are also adept at casting spells and hexes with some bloodlines even having innate abilites they can cast from birth. Raising children from these bloodlines is a challenging affair considering a newborn can potentially cast dangerous magic at any moment.
Beyond the difficulties of raising these fae-blooded families there is also another drawback to their heritage. All of them will suffer from occasional bouts of "fae" moods where they will ignore their responsibilities and go off and accomplish whatever they feel compelled to do. Making set schedules with a fae-blood is always done with the understanding that they may at any time decide "not to do that". Obviously to people who are not used to being stood up like nobles or those who take their word seriously will be offended by their lack of concern and could cause problems to the fae-blood once they return to normal. Thankfully, these fae-moods are rare and will only at most happen a few times in their lifetime.

The premise of this game is about a new colony established in a new continent away from the reach of the empire, guilds "sprung" and arrived from afar in that city to govern and influence it. They work together to keep the city thriving while working against each other in struggle to rule the city.
Maybe one day in the future, after 8 games if there'll be that many I will do a "guild city builder" where the winner guilds from the previous games and their city will compete. That's the far future tho

I imagine it as a demonic book
Game mechanic wise, I think guilds who take this book will receive a prepared dark ritual spell ready for casting at will. i'll elaborate more about spells only when the game begins but there are examples from previous gaems i made. Abilities such as cursing other guilds, summoning darkness or reviving a deceased member as undead.

Btw I think we might be done with races inside the city if we want a human majority.
So from now on, I'll accept interesting races that affect the city but are not residents of the city (like ratfolks and flesh eaters). We are full on city-race :^)
Also I'll do the cards and pictures for the remaining races sometimes soon, probably at the end of the week

21 places that might exist in the same world as the city the game takes place in.
The Low Sea - so called because even though it is a salty sea with saltwater animals, it ranges from 3 to 7 feet deep at most.
The maze - an extremely dry, barren area which is a maze of low hills next to lava-flow valleys, which when viewed from high up or from air, resembles a maze. The lava has been long cold and still, the eruptions that made the maze happened during world-formation.
The golden desert - A large amount of natural gold dust can be found here, at the rate of about 1/80th a gram per 1 foot of space.
Mt. Hearth - The volcanic mountain's lava set an ancient coal deposit on fire, the shape change in the mountain when that happened caused a significant portion of the mountain to break, leaving the other side largely untouched and giving the mountain a 'fire in a houses fireplace' appearance.
The Iron Towers - A series of Buttes the color of which resembles iron ore, the buttes are in two groups, the north group, and the east group, with a river flowing between them and a lake slightly west of them.
The Segebulius deep - the deepest area of the sea, a trench 50 times deeper than the tallest castle tower.
The Octopus Islands - 700 to 800 small islands that were all once one big island, a mistake during world creation resulted in the big island mostly sinking. So called because it resembles an octopus's head and tentacles if you look carefully.
The Warrior - A giant statue of a warrior, so old no one knows who made it or why. Its armor is not unique, armor similar to it has been seen in an extinct culture's grave sites.
The graveyard hills - so called because of very numerous tar pits where complete and incomplete skeletons dating to before the existence of sentience can be found, (though bodies regularly still fall in).
The glittering plateaus - so called because large amounts of natural silver dust form there, on average 1/95th of a gram per foot.
The River Bezny - One of the longest rivers in the world, it splits off to become the river Chaguch, the river Opizna, and the river Abec.
The mouse run - So called because of its crazy swiss-cheese holes appearance, natural processes made a very tall butte sweat out a lot of its components, resulting in a butte riddled with small holes.
The valley of fire - A wide, low valley filled with roughly 4 feet of burning oil, the oil sweats out of several spots on both sides. Used as a garbage dump / corpse disposal.
Lake Dissolution - High acid content makes this lake a strange color, and kills anything that touches or drinks from it, though it isn't strong enough to dissolve the ground around it.
The Cape of Dismay - South polar cape that is the site of strong winds, high waves, and has seven rocky outcroppings under it, the shallowest of which is only 4 inches under the water-surface.
Nugent's fort - The oldest mot and bailey castle in the world, three outer walls, a moat, and a single tower, the keep.
The forest of rain and mist - The biggest rain forest in the world.
Eardred's Keep - The biggest castle in the world, its walls encompass an entire big city, population 10,000+.
The Earl and Squire - One of the oldest inns in the world, it dates back to nearly 900 years before the present.
The Thistle and Hamhock - The oldest tavern in the world, it has been in continuous operation since nearly 1200 years before present.
The king's subject - A pair of mountains that resemble someone kneeling before a king, the top of one of the mountains exploded at one point and its craggy shattered spot looks similar to a crown.

'Goblin' - (Small Race),-Dex, -Cha, -Int, Greedy, Evil, Sloth

The Goblin are slow and clumsy. They are easier to hit than most races. Their clumsiness makes them unlikely to succeed in stealth, handcraft and harvesting.
The Goblin is often repulsive and without charm. The Goblin is unlikely to make many friends. This uncharismatic nature makes them worse at leadership, praying and persuasion.
The Goblin has a dull mind. The Goblin requires more time to learn skills and gain perks than the other races. Their disabilities also make it harder for them to practice bureaucracy, spellcraft and enchanting.
Goblins may be equipped with copper maces and bucklers to combat, armored with splintmails.
Members of the Goblin race are seen often as Greedy, Evil and Sloth.
The Goblin race is considered hostile towards the city.

So this is it for the current list of races in the game.
I will probably make a nice looking pdf sometime so you could easily navigate between them.(like a generic monster manual in other games).
The final product would look different and more stylized but i wanted to get the list of races now so you can pretty much get the feeling of what is living in the world.
cheers for now, Im still working on adding the races and mechanics that go along with it for the game (such as "aggresive traders" mechanic) and creating game events that fit the races.

Discussing with Bidd there have been some additions to this race. They are more likely to find secret or hidden places whether it is good or bad for them and there is a massive ritual every new year where they (along with other magically oriented people) partake in a massive citywide ritual where they wish for what they desire most, but only the most prevalent desire will be truly manifested no matter how generalized it becomes. Whenever they become so unhappy that they need to make a mental check they are more likely to suffer the worst possible result.

thats all the special traits(perks) i programmed in so far. Some of them come from personality, some from race, some you acquire when leveling up.
The game might seem complicated with all my dumps, but its really not. This is just variety. The game is just mostly you sending your characters to do actions and reacting to events, like any builder. Its very simple, i just wanted to create as much depth and choice as i can.

Surface Dwarves: Unlike most of their kin who spend their lives deep under the earth in their mountain halls, there are a subset of dwarves that have integrated themselves with the surface populace, winding up in many cities as craftsmen, blacksmiths and soldiers. They are short and bearded, as you would expect from a dwarf, although their appearance is different than that of a mountain dwarf due to their long exposure to sunlight and other elements of life on the surface. For one, their skin is a bit darker, although still fair in complexion for the most part, compared to the bleached white complexion of their underground kin. They are slightly taller and more stout than the mountain dwarves as well (although they still average around 4 feet tall). While they rank among the best craftsmen and metalsmiths and are natural warriors due to their indomitable constitution and endurance, they have their flaws as well. First is their dependence on alcohol. Dwarves, for some reason, will drink water, but they will shun it as long as alcohol is an option. If a dwarf does not get his alcohol quota, he will undergo severe withdrawal-like symptoms that can lead to death at times. For this reason, there are very, very few sober dwarves out there. The second is their argumentative and confrontational nature. While dwarves are not prone to acts of evil, they often are the cause of bar fights and arguments due to their stubborn and brash natures combined with their alcohol consumption. This often leads to trouble with authorities, although most bartenders are pretty used to this by now, unwilling to kick out their most reliable sources of income. Still, they are an honorable people, who take their reputations very seriously and work hard to preserve their good name.

Hags periodically need to steal new teeth and eyes, most usually from female recently deceased, as their powers of cursing are contained in their teeth, and using their evil eye wears an eyeball out, the eyeball always eventually withering and falling out.
Liches can become senile, when they do (all eventually do) they are insane, deadly, and unpredictable.
If a titan suffers a bleeding injury, the blood produces tiny amounts of adamantine when it hits the ground.
If a priceless cut diamond is thrown directly into a greater-shadow's heart, the creature will scream in agony and violently explode, the diamond becoming a black diamond afterward, and showing up as necromancy/demonology.

I am now working on game mechanics that fit the new ideas you suggested rather than on the showcase. I will give you the nice showcase for the new races once i finish building some mechanism around it.
>>40958
Adding them to the game now.
>>41141
Really like these ideas. I will probably use some but change a little. I mostly like the one about the diamond and the greater shadow.
>>41249
This idea was already brought up (about a year ago). Not 100% its gonna be in due to balance reasons.
