Goblyn Mayem! How to make goblin interesting again
A new way to think about our favorite evil creatures.So somebody (https://t.me/interesting0games check out his channel if you like) told me that past week was supposed to be the #GoblinWeek #Goblinweek2020.
So i had to write an article a day about goblins. As you can clearly see , i was not able to have such commitment to something, not even to my beloved, disgusting, favorite evil creatures.
So i will give you my personal take on Goblinhood anyway, so you too can insert goblin in your setting, making sure that anyone can fear and cover in front of their majesty.
So what are Goblins? Goblins are nasty little creatures that feed on fantasy settings like shameless parasites. Any world have goblins in some way or another: in some settings they are called in some other exotic way, have some strange skin color or be malevolent in different way, but deep down we know that in every dirty and dark place there is a chance to meet a creature that resemble a goblin: small, dirty, mostly stupid and prone to unnecessary display of violence.
Why?
Because Goblins, like cockroaches, can hide and spawn everywhere, and are the kind of pests that you cannot eradicate without burning everything in a radius of ten miles to their cove to ashes.
But often, like cockroaches, they are ignored, or used like low level cannon fodder for the joy and bewilderment of young adventurers to feast upon.
How can we make so that they become the fearless masters of evil things that they are born to be?
We'll give them the tools not only to defend themselves, but also to be a real menace to the world.
We'll start with one Goblin.
He only have 1 hp, the kind of challenge that even the most coward farmer with an hoe can fight and win.
One goblin is smart like a small animal, he'll have only instinct by his side.
What is his instinct? To cover in fear and find a place to hide. Better if warm, wet and dark.
How can a race of creatures with a life expectancy of 3 to 5 year and the physical prowess of a teenager to continue existing despite the odds?
Because a single Goblin, left undisturbed, can expel with his sweat and feces hundreds small eggs. If those eggs find a wet and warm place they will grow to the size of a fist during the first hour and will hatch a small goblin in 1d4 days. When the first goblin hatch, he will immediately search for unhatched eggs and devour them. The Egg Feast can endure for days, until only 1d10 new goblin remains, big as a human child.
Now, what happen if we have more goblin? Some said that goblins are more brave in big numbers. That's not it. The fact is that goblins share some kind of mind bond that allow them to synchronize even if they don't even know what that word means. Every single goblin is like a single neuron of ...
