Okey Dokey Everybody! This thought just came into my head but I began noticing that a lot of the examples of adventures here both the example adventures given to us by the creators and the adventures forum members have come up with by themselves, I began noticing that all the PCs were either high or holy caste, and I mean that isn't bad...Play how you want to play but...If I may display blatant favoritism the Trade Caste is my favorite caste, I don't know...Maybe because most of the jobs are jobs actual modern day Humans can get...Most people aren't able to work in governing the country they live in, most people don't even want to work in the church. on the opposite end on the romanticized 'peasant' side of things. Not everyone can be a farmer on account of being a legitimate limit how much space a country can have for farmland
But most anyone if they want to be can take up a trade, be a baker, brewer, masseur, florist...Heck work in some form of the entertainment industry (I mean is Classic D&D Bard is sort of an Entertainer Class but really Bard is more like a Trickster/Spellsinger, than what Bards were in actual...Reality)
So...Yeah I currently have no one to play with...Because everyone I know just want to play Human/Elf/Dwarf Characters no one wants to play Anthro Animals with me...But thinking about a scenario Specifically for Trade Caste Members. Well Peasants to Heroes...I think that isn't fitting for the Merchant Caste who have it pretty well off...I'm thinking of characters who are perfectly content with their lot...They are makers of valuable things, or perform valued services, so they don't feel diminished, also I thought about what someone said in a thread when someone griped about the Humans in the origin story and someone proposed an idea I really liked about what if the Corporate Spaceship finally came through during Dardunah's present time? How would the Janah react to the Great Devourer finally arriving? Or...Suppose some other Humans in a different alternate universe discover the existence of Janah and begin kidnapping them subtly no one, knows what is happening.
This is a variation of the 'Survivors of Destruction' campaign that I feel could be where Trade Caste PCs could really shine, characters who don't have as much as the Sunborn. (After all if the leader of a nation suddenly vanishes without a trace, that is obviously going to raise alarm...But if a mere Baker or Brewer vanishes, well of course it is upsetting to friends and family but of course since Janah being captured by slavers is a common enough occurrence...) But having more then imagining if a Janah was spirited away to a Universe of Humans and you know...Obvious communication problems but displaying ability to make fine and beautiful things will be solid proof that Janah are thoroughly civilized beings and maybe not something we should dissect?
