This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;413025So how could this be made to work without it becoming angsty or just unpleasant? It's ok when the player is the hero slaughtering orcs and goblins in FRP, but if the player is a goblin how do you turn the tables without it becoming either a joke or just an unpleasant baby eating venture.

Savage Worlds: Necessary Evil might have some relevant ideas.

Age of Fable

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;412780The players are traditional fantasy monster types, comfortable in their role but not truly evil. They are caught between the expansionist but overextended righteous White Kingdom, and the brooding, true evil of the All Hallows Army. It is the Lord Reverends of the White kingdom, and their Templars, that have unwittingly stirred the All Hallows Army into action.

The All Hallows Army and it's ruler, The Halloween King, seek to awaken the tombs of the Dark Gods that once had the monster races as thralls and bend them to his will. Meanwhile the White Kingdom believes in notions of purity and a belief in the Family God - a holy trinity representing moral correctness and duty.

Apparently it used to be believed in England that fairies, goblins etc were angels who had rebelled against God along with Lucifer, but then had partly repented and chose not to follow him into hell.

It sounds like this would be easy to work in to your idea.

Quote from: 1of3;413028More traditional than a man-eating minotaur? You must be kidding. (OK, the original one wasn't quite that sociable.)

Maybe he means "more English" rather than "more traditional"?
