Ok, so. Shaaaadow puppets…

I'm sick of games only focusing on humanoid species, I play WoW and they're all about humans and elves while having a huge range of fantasy species. Same goes for TDC, they have so many species which all deserve to be experienced first hand!

So, I've been vibing on Dark crystal for a while, and I've been putting some work in on Echos of Rebellion, fic coming soon. But, my friend introduced me to the concept of ArtRPGs, and I'm a little intrigued by the process on making one. So, since I've got a lot of work done for the TTRPG I haven't gotten to run for dark crystal, I'm putting some feelers out on possibly doing an Arpg for Dark crystal.

And yes I know how things end, I have a work around for that. So the game would be fine.

This would likely be hosted through toyhouse on a private discord and such, I'm still working that out. I may also make a community for it here, nothing is decided yet.

But this is a general interest check, some things I know will be happening-

Races that can for sure be playable:

-Gelflings

-Firelings

-Podlings

-Constructs

-certain kinds of Arathim (per the rpg book)

-Makrak

-Gruenak (possibly, under review)

All the clans will be playable, as well as a few additional things that will be discussed later.

Skeksis, Mystics, and Urskeks are locked to npcs, for story purposes.

There will be pets.

Please pop the poll if this is something that may interest you at all, I'll post more as I put info together.

Arathim Threaders Puppets - Jim Henson Company 70th Anniversary Auction on Julien's Auctions, sold for $3,200 - Lot 200

"Three Arathim Threader puppets from the prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix, 2019). Includes two magnetic "face" Threaders and one marionette Threader puppet with back fan. Each is comprised of hard rubber latex with hand-painted detailing and wire armatures inside for posing. The external extremities on each of the Threaders' leaf-like limbs also include wires inside. A magnet is installed on the inside of each Threader, specifically for the "face" variety, as these puppets would attach to the sides of Gelfling puppets (who also had a magnet placed inside of their cheeks) in order to control their minds.

The marionette puppet is a specific Threader in the show. In the eighth episode, "Prophets Don't Know Everything," Aughra (performed by Kevin Clash and voiced by Donna Kimball) heals a wounded Threader, which leaves red marks on its back fan, such as the ones painted here on the back fan of the marionette puppet.

Dimensions: Overall: 13.25 x 13 x 15 inches"
