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.
