BROCKENGARD: Walkabout Info

[powersthatbe]

Brockengard
A Talking Animal Low Fantasy Walkabout
January 17-February 26

The abundance of fishing near the coast affords the mountain stronghold of Brockengard the rare opportunity of being a mixed community of animals: one where carnivores and herbivores live closeby to each other. But when a vessel full of strangers is shipwrecked upon the beach, the newcomers need to learn the unusual ways of the mountain before someone does something they might regret.

INFILTRATOR/INVESTIGATOR ROLES

[powersthatbe]

Everyone is a talking animal.

Specifically, everyone is a intelligent and wild (or at least undomesticated) mammal, with the upper limit in size being probably that of a badger or wolverine. Rodents, moles, squirrels, lapines, mustelids, small canids, and small felines are all intelligent in this setting. Most birds, fish, hooved animals, large canids, large felines, and bears are NOT intelligent. All fish, hooved animals, and bears are sub-sapient. Bird and large canids of this generation are only just now gaining sapience, with their parents remaining sub-sapient. (So are large felines but there aren't really any in the setting.)

Investigators are turned into animals, just as Infiltrators are. If Investigators want to be different animals than the ones listed above (large canids, birds, bears, etc) they can be with mod permission, but the players should be warned that the other animals will be Very Surprised by their intelligence and it will probably Spark Discussions. It’s not recommended that Investigators become ungulates.

No one gets to stay a human, sorry.
