Discussion Thread



What’s this?

A player-run TES RP tavern where your characters can drop in for some fun. Celebrate a holiday, plan an adventure, or share a relaxing time with friends. The Wobbly Goblet is located in County Chorrol, and the year is… any year. Imagine a place where parallel worlds magically meet. We’ll use the Tamriel calendar and the real-world date. (So today is Second Seed 16th.) All are welcome! Grits and King Coin are your hosts, so contact us if you have questions.



Do I need to sign up or be invited?

Nope, just drop in. Post a character sheet here if you like, or link to another one you’ve used, or just give us a quick description of what your character looks like as they walk in the door. Link to a picture, if you have one. This is an informal meeting space, so we don’t need a whole lot of information.



So which thread should I use? What’s with all of the WGs?

The main thread can be found here: The Wobbly Goblet Playground. Feel free to introduce your character here in the discussion thread and jump right in to the Playground. The threads such as WG – Black Rock Caverns are adventures in progress, so you need to contact someone who’s posting there to possibly get involved. Sometimes players meet up in the Wobbly Goblet and decide to head out on various escapades together. When that happens they start a new thread.

Occasionally we host special events at the Goblet, like the Harvest’s End Festival. These events run for a certain period of time so that folks have an opportunity to join in. Watch this thread for announcements of upcoming occasions.



Code of Conduct:

1. Remember your forum rules. Keep it PG-13, be courteous, no spamming.

2. The tavern thread is for IN character posts. Please keep other discussion in this thread.

3. The Wobbly Goblet is a safe zone for all characters.

4. You only control your own characters. You should not give other player’s characters actions, lines, thoughts, or move them without the player’s explicit permission. Very small things like a nod, a grunt, or a word is usually fine, but if the player asks you to edit, then please do so. For example if you and another player go outside and brawl: ‘Thirsty Hair-Back picked up Myelfindil and slammed him to the ground’ =NO. Thirsty’s player just controlled the other player’s character. ‘Thirsty Hair-Back reached out to pick up the annoying elf, hoping to slam him to the ground’ =OK. Now Myelfindil’s player can decide what happens to him.

5. NPCs can be used, but posts should not be from their perspective. Your hosts Grits and King Coin will write for the NPCs when necessary.

6. Immediate emergencies should be avoided in the main thread. They can be fun, but they also can place other people in uncomfortable positions. They force people to either drop what they are doing, or else awkwardly find an excuse to not run to someone’s aid.



Roleplaying Guidelines:

1. Each thread is its own story or theme. New stories should have a different thread. Offshoot threads will be governed by the thread starter as they see fit. The Wobbly Goblet main thread doesn't have a story, but a theme. That theme is the inn itself. Posts in the main thread should be in, around, or traveling to or from the inn.

2. If you want to post, you need to keep your post consistent with the current state of the world. Read previous replies, or ask other players to tell you what is happening.

3. Posting in the roleplaying threads should be done with the purpose of interacting with other player’s characters. Not every post is required to interact with other player characters, but if your posts will never put you in a position to interact with other player characters, then please reconsider the content of your posts so that you can interact.

4. Disputes. We are going to assume that the rules here are being followed unless something looks very off. If your character is used by another player, we will assume they had permission. If this is not the case try talking to the poster. If you are unable to get a favorable response, then let us (Grits or King Coin) know.


Any comments? Questions? Post them here.

My filthy mind has been approved by Foxy, can't get much better honor than that in the Dherty In-U-Endo field.

Being number one...just means that there's always a challenger that will rise to take that crown. It is...the order of things. I cannot deny her right in this matter.

Even if trying to take it is a little besides the point...she merely took it as a challenge, and my sick, twisted curiosity wants to see what she can come up with.

"..oh my various effigies and deities, ladies and germs! It would seem that this thirsty announcer who is sipping on some Barry's Red Cola as we speak has created a 'dirty-off'! Three women; only one a willing participant, has come together to try and see: Who Is Chorrol's Dherty-est In-your-endoizer? Head out and stock up now on some Barry's Red and Milton's Blue Colas! Because this promises to get real hot; real quick!"

Results vary dramatically I guess.

mALX: "Hello, DM? Does this group run around in robes with...er...you know."

DM: "We do not pander to your type."

mALX: "Do you know a DnD group that does?"

*mALX leans back in chair, sips ice tea* "Bring it, Lizzie."

DnD player popping in quickly.

Any group. Any DnD group. Give the players a world where they have power, no moral consequences to stop them and no sense of guilt or remorse to feel, and they will anything. I've been there, man, and it was awesome!

Also, I just want to say that Telvanni Bug Musk proceedings that are, uh, proceeding, are downright hilarious.

I blame Grits for once again riling Liz and I to new lows of humor, ROFL !!!

I've only played one DnD game in my life. Friend of my Brother's and it was off and on for about a year and a half. My...vocal talents came into play. The world setting was a Hawaiian culture base, IDK beyond that. I constantly challenged people in character: "You have no Hekla!" "I will test his Hekla!" "If I were to measure this one's Hekla into numerical figures; my estimate would be well over nine thousand!"

Hekla was supposed to mean: Mettle. It became the official term for it as well. Repetitive Stress Disorder enforced application!

But...were you in a robe and er...bug musked? (And did your hands show?)

I need no robe! I am a walking Bug Musk Factory! And...apparently it doesn't matter what my robe conceals, and it would seem my large, shapely hands being exposed is apparently the same thing!

No, the Hekla must surpass the hand. I mean seriously, if a bunch of men are standing around in tent-shaped robes, who is going to be looking at hands? We can see them anytime - and have hands ourselves,

Sometimes our own hands are better than other hands.

Perhaps. But why does this remind me of the female mind tricks to get me to do things I don't want too?

Me, laying sick as a dog my head pounding in pain, and suddenly: "Baaaayyyybeeeee!"

"...sweetie, I love you, but I'm seriously sick here..." I croak out with a hoarse throat.

"Oh....that's fine...you're not that good anyways..." she says quietly.

*Macho button activates* "What?!"

"I said: you're not feeling good."

"..."

“Do you guys wear robes when you play, or do you keep your Heklas holstered in your jeans? Hello..?”

I always pictured capes over regular clothes, but between Darnand's difficulties and Liz's remark - it has wrought all kinds of images to my mind. And you know how bad that can be. I might be cracking DnD/robe jokes for weeks off this, !!!

Darnand sometimes wears trousers or leggings under there, sometimes not depending on the robes. One imagines he was minimally contained on the day of the bug musk adventure.

Most likely just what the feverish brain thought it heard,

This whole thing may cause Maxical to want to "peek under the robes" next time she sees Darnand, lol.

Please please PLEASE let me get a post in tonight XD

Go for it!
