Welcome to Kobold Caves. A DnD inspired game about the role-players of SV leading their tribe of Kobolds into being something more than a food source.
It is OC and not SI based this time (Though if you want to keep your personality that is fine).
This will be in some ways cooperative city management but being a big damn hero is part of your job. So with that in mind everyone gets to pick from one of three gifts for themselves.

The Caves!
Your caves are a set of buildings that provide bonuses to your tribe.
Upgrading a building Cost 10*new level in Construction points and half that in production points.
You are limited on how many construction points you can spend per action by the size of your tunnels.

Playing the Game!
Jeez Zedalb you just info dumped a thousand words and a dozen links on us but how does this actually work you verbose good looking mother fucker.
Well I'm glad you asked!
You get 3 actions a turn!
And just have to post them with you sheet and a paragraph of flavor text (which can and WILL have ramifications)
Spending some of the tribes construction or production points is an action and can be stacked (unless limited by buildings).
So right now on any non tunneling building you can only spend 1 construction point per action, so you can spend 3 actions work on building a temple to put 3 of the 10 points needed towards it. Spending production is only limited by what your spending them on, so 1 action is all it takes to spend the 5 production needed on the temple.
However no matter how many people or actions are spent on it, only 100 sets of leather armor can be made a turn until the tannery is improved.
What if we don't spend all of of the tribes points?!: Then I will spend them randomly.
What if we over spend?!: Then some points will be lost in confusion and I will split the points relatively evenly.
Other actions are absolutely allowed and encouraged.
If you want to lead a hunting party to get more food then normal please do so. Investigation into the area and enemies around you is encouraged. If you want to research or try to do something special I may even make it a special project that others can contribute to.
Divine Favor system?
Build a temple and you will get the full details but it's really nice.
Standard of living?
Standard of living is what happens when you dedicate enough effort to making the kobold population happier, healthier and more comfortable.
Each Rank will have a permanent stacking bonus. The next level is
Standard of living Level 1
+10% to all production,construction and food points.
Cost 5 Standard of living points.
Military in next post a long with some info on your enemies.

1) Dire Weasel Lycan: You are one of the rare 1 in 10K who are born as a natural lycanthrope. Not only will you have a great empathy with the tribes Dire weasels(Gain skill handle animal), but you will also be stronger and heal from minor wounds in moments.You can in time turn others as well. The only downside is that gear is destroyed by the transformation and you require lots of meat to survive.

2) Dragon wrought: The blood of actual dragons runs in your little Kobold veins. Slowly you will become more draconic, eventually gaining wings and a breath weapon. As well as a host of other minor benefits,Gain 3 skills based on dragon, better vision in the dark, immunity to sleep and paralysis magic, and your scales and claws will grow stronger over time. It has no downsides though you must choose a dragon color.

3) Sorcerer: The magic of dragons can be found within you. You are a new sorcerer and can cast 2 spells (1/day each)with practice you can learn more and learn to cast them more often. Though the delicate movements required are more difficult with armor on leaving you particular weak in melee combat.
