[Give Feedback!] PotM Changes!
Added 2022-05-05 15:06:14 +0000 UTCBefore we start just let me clarify that these changes wouldn't go live until July in the earliest. We have a lovely Bugbear for this month and for June I, myself, will choose (like last year with Gonboro)
Hi guys! I'm thinking on revamping how we do the PotM and instead of voting for a top 5 fantasy races (that usually yields similar results), I was thinking on having each month being elemental themed and having a list of creatures that loosely represent that element from the current list (also added some new ones).
Something like this! (some fantasy creatures don't really correspond with the element... Metal and Thunder were particularly difficult but you get the idea!)

*Some of the elemental icons are not final -w-
So every month instead of voting for the top 5 we would roll a die to see which of the 6 monthly options we get! then we roll dice for the rest of the stuff as usual and you guys will still vote for the adventurer design and the pose!
When it comes to classes though, I also thought about streamlining them a bit more:

While I'm the first that loves having a lot of classes/jobs in any game I feel like in this case it all comes down to aesthetics, right?
So I chose the general classes that are more aesthetically identifiable and would look good on a character with their dick out :3
Some extra definitions for more clarity:
RACES
-Aaracokra: Bird people
-Lycan: dog/wolf people
-Borc: Boar/pig people
-Vanara: Monkey people
-Warforged: they're like robot people from dnd but my take would be more "Enchanted Armor" vibes.
-Octolopod: Octopus people (Like Gruhn if you're familiar with him), similar to dnd mindslayers but without the creepy factor
CLASSES
-Ranger vs Hunter: Ranger is your typical bowman class and Hunter would be more like a gruff guy that uses strange contramptions and weapons similar to Bloodborne's hunters or ff14's machinist or Darkest Dungeon's Highwayman or Grave Robber.
So what do you guys think? I'm personally excited since this will bring more variety and fun overall but do let me know your opinion down below!

2022-05-05 22:01:02 +0000 UTCThis seems like a good idea. Voting for races always felt a bit secondary to voting for the episode and characters anyway and because there were so many and certain ones were always popular, it felt a bit redundant too. This I think improves that!

2022-05-05 18:36:11 +0000 UTCIt reminds me of fire emblem, what with each branch of class having three subclasses. I like it

2022-05-05 18:29:48 +0000 UTCmy only criticism is that vanara aren't present for all of the months? for some reason? feels like an oversight, kupo, just thought I'd mention ;3
