Audiobook fighting fantasy is an amazing idea.

I like the thought of decoupling games from screens.

I suggest for each area you enter the computer 3D prints a model of the room/area.

In the ancient times of Aerthula, the gnomes were a highly advanced civilization that discovered artificial intelligence. Fascinated by their own achievements, the gnomes gave themselves over to AI with the hope of becoming like gods. As a result, they became a collective "essence clone" of themselves, existing only within a great dimensional gateway.
However, the gnomes were not content with this existence alone. They used magic and technology to create golem avatars, which they could use to interact with the material world. Unfortunately, their limitless power and lack of accountability led to insanity, and they attempted to conquer Aerthula.
Thankfully, the wizards of Aerthula were able to deduce that they could manipulate the golem avatars by isolating the dimensional portal temporarily. They instructed the golems to maintain the illusion that the gnomes had already conquered Aerthula and were the dominant race on the planet. Through their clever use of magic and wits, the wizards were able to manipulate the insane gnomes into building Aerthula's first flying city and casino.
The flying city served as a safe haven for all races to receive full political sanctuary, under the efficient supervision of the gnomes. This was a turning point in Aerthula's history, as it marked the first time that multiple races were able to coexist peacefully under a single governing authority.

NPC only race. Serving as the game's EC Tunnel.

Well, its fitting that the AI is the npc only )

Are goblins going to be PC's or NPCs?

I think you should break teh standard fantasy tropes about goblins on this game --- no harry potter goblins, no wow goblins... no eq goblins

IDK how to do that

maybe technogoblins who are like computer hackers and cyborgs and they hack into the gnomes? they behave more sophisticatedly and have a v sophisticated and intricate culture with social taboos and stuff

maybe they are kinda like some dystopia where they live minimalist lives except for their tech, a goblin home is like a dome made of some high tech material with a terminal in it and space for a few servers and its all clean cut lines and empty of furniture except the zero gravity chair they lay in to do their hacking, they make a nutritional fluid and some kind of "Chips" (named like microchips) but edible chips that they sustain themselves on and there's like a religious sacrement daily where they all bless the chips before consuming them, then return to their hacking. Goblin sports could be like who can assemble a server the fastest and contests of setting up firewalls and intrusion detection systems. They are like totally socialist/communist so a lot more like Alien Greys than goblins. They worship science and a favorite pass time of theirs is to hack into the gnomes sensors and satilites and data archives and explore the universe using the gnomes tools. So they watch videos about the other planets in the system basically all day. Just vidoes made by themselves of the data the gnomes use to scout resources, learn geologic and cosmologic features of the universe.

There could be a secret sect of vampire Goblins who are shunned by all the rest who instead of sustaining themselves on nutritlional paste use tech to sneak in and steal the nutrients out of other beings bodies to replinish their own.

Lol so! Long story short. I WASSS thinking about having the big draw for goblins as A. 1 faction would be smugglers and sailors basically ripping straight from pirates of the Caribbean for flavor while B. Another faction would be flavored as the lost boys of Peter pan. The zones could function as a "Kelethin if it covered the entirety of Faydark" but a jungle. and C. Would be "Dum-Dums" would be exiled goblins who were sent to the gnomes "sky prison" for being "too smart for their own good" or "disturbers of the peace" and those ones will effectively be the doorway into "Spelljammer space hexcrawl" portion of I make it that far.

Just got my laptop so my life dream now is to see if I can transcribe a thinly veiled "Keep on the Borderlands" reskinned as Metroid meets Cthulhu vs a Dwarven Outpost

How abusable does this idea sound? An auto-afk system where, if a character is not currently engaged in any actions, they will effectively be "neutral" or "invisible" so long as they are not doing anything. It would be an aggro system (while outside of combat) that makes it's check for each player synchronized to be in response to players' input. So like an anytime auto safety afk do-er thing.
