	'''~~The GRAND DAD EMPIRE~~''' ~~ARE~~ a ~~prolific~~ [[~~VINESAUCE~~]]-~~centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around~~ the ~~time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are~~ ''~~not~~'' ~~official Tournaments and are~~ in ~~no way affiliated with~~ [[~~JOEL~~]]).		The '''korobokuru''' are a race of savage, wilderness-dwelling [[dwarf]]-like humanoids from the ''[[Oriental Adventures]]'' splatbook for [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They have only appeared in that specific sourcebook, in both its 1st edition original release for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1e and in its 3e re-release.

	~~They operated out of~~ the ~~now~~-~~defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014~~, ~~after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September~~ of ~~2016 before largely being abandoned~~.		Mythologically, the korobokuru are probably based on an alternative spelling for the Koro-pok-guru, a race of small, benevolent, wilderness-dwelling yokai from the mythology of Japan's native Ainu people.

	~~== Forums ==~~		In D&D, the korobokuru is literally a Japanese dwarf, standing in company to the [[Spirit Folk]], who fill the role of "Japanese [[Elf]]". Although one could argue they are more of a reskinning of [[gnome]]s or [[halflings]]. In fact, they're outright stated as being "Oriental Dwarves" in the 1e ''Oriental Adventures''.
	~~The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events~~, ~~discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS~~, ~~MEME showcase~~, ~~and general VINESAUCE~~ or ~~unrelated discussion~~.

	~~== Events ==~~		Korobokuru stand about 4 feet tall, although their propensity to being bowlegged can make them look shorter, even though their arms and legs are notedly longer in proportion than human's would be. Leaner than dwarves, they have small, pointed ears, round noses with flattened nostrils, wide, full lips, big bright eyes that are typically blue, green or brown, and thick hair on their heads and limbs. They aren't very good at growing beards, though, for some reason. Korobokuru tend to look wild and unkempt, favoring simple and rustic outfits in dull, earthen tones; such garb is usually well-worn, but always kept clean.
	~~The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for~~ being ~~diverse~~ and ~~involved~~, ~~due in large part to~~ their ~~incredibly strong homebrew scene~~. ~~These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn~~'t ~~exist~~ for ~~nearly a decade~~, and ~~some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments~~, ~~with fan HIGH~~-~~QUALITY RIPS~~.

	~~In later years~~, ~~an event known~~ as ~~Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for [[GRAND DAD Fantasy]]~~, ~~[[KING FOR ANOTHER DAY]]~~, ~~[[GRANDmachine]]~~, ~~[[HE THICC]]~~, and ~~[[MEME Wars]]~~, ~~as of 2019~~.		Culturally, korobokuru are essentially very rustic peasantfolk. They mostly live in simple villages or camps in the wilderness, anywhere from lakes to mountainsides to valleys and forests, where they make a living by farming and hunting. Stereotyped as rude, belligerent, boastful and somewhat comical, korobokuru resent this, but don't do much to disprove it. Most are quite content to live a humble life, attending to their daily tasks, making simple artwork (painting and cut, carved or otherwise sculpted wood and stone), telling wildly fanciful stories, and collecting treasure.

	== ~~HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES~~ == ~~Some HIGH~~-~~QUALITY RIPS appear~~ to ~~have seen releases or updates in 5th~~ and ~~6th edition~~. ~~Note that The GRAND DAD Fugitives seem~~ to ~~have been most active between 2007~~ and ~~2013.~~		==1e==
