1d10 things the goblin was using as a weapon

  1. The femur of a wolf
  2. Poop-stick
  3. A rat tied to a stick, swung like a morning star
  4. A sock full of coins
  5. Another, smaller goblin
  6. Strips of leather woven in with shards of stone and bone
  7. +4 Saber of Frostburn (looted off of a distracted adventurer who met their untimely death at the hands of a swarm of goblins)
  8. A rusty butter knife
  9. An iron skillet
  10. Wasp Nest attached to a tree limb

1d5 Goblin Fashion Trends
  1. Creatively hanging rodents on belts and bandoliers. The more they have on at once in a single bundle, the more impressive. The boldest of goblins up the ante with live rodents.
  2. Some Goblins, especially those of a higher stature, like to build up their ear wax until it's visible. Once visible they paint it with various fluids.
  3. Wearing the dogtags and soiled undergarments of porcelain rank adventurers they murdered.
  4. Stilts
  5. Long toenails, often decorated with chiseled designs at the tip, or even pierced with rings

    One can only imagine the horrors a latrine attendant in a goblin city has beheld... well, no matter, they very well may be able to take out their aggression by swinging around a smaller goblin as a weapon! With a few more entries, this could be an absolutely flawless Goblin NPC Generator. Thanks so much for sharing!

      Also, don't think the pun in the title went unnoticed. Is that show even still going?

      Haha! Thanks, I'm glad someone noticed. That makes me feel validated.

More Than a Bucket of Bolts

Next up on my journey through solo rpg space is a little zine called Bucket of Bolts ( buy it here ), where you take on the POV of medium sized spacecraft, and explore its journey through time and space, cataloging adventures, upgrades, and a timeline of several Captains that have the privilege of being at the helm. It's based on another rpg called Artefact (in which you write from the POV of a sentient magic item or weapon). I had enjoyed  Artefact before, so I was excited to try this one out.  Source:  abduzeedo The game starts with you describing your ship; writing about some basic details like the type of ship, the model and make, the crew who designed and built it, as well as some defining traits like if it's sleek , or powerful , or intimidating .  My particular ship for this game was nicknamed Ladybug, and was the mid-range value model of Hyperion Industries called the Prospect-QX . Sporting the same engine and basic design as their flagship luxury spaceship line, the Pr

Lichdom - A Reflective Ascent to Power

 I recently sat down and resolved to start tackling the mountain of rulebooks and rpgs that seemed to be growing by the week before me. That, paired with a sort of terse relationship with video games at the moment, lead me to tackle some of the solo roleplaying games that I had begun to subconsciously collect. I had played one or two before, most notably the famous and award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire , which was a surreal experience at the least (and a profoundly introspective jaunt at its best).  Source: Dungeon Crawl Classics (seriously great game, check it out too) This week I decided to try one of the newer ones I had picked up: Lichdom (buy it here) . Thanking the past version of me that had the foresight (or the money burning a hole in my digital wallet) for backing the Kickstarter that came with the hardcover and a custom deck of themed playing cards, I cracked open the cards, uncapped a new pen, and creased the spine of a brand new journal to start playing.  Lichdom is

Sometimes they undertake these bonds willingly, while others fall into these connections through less than blessed means. They have received some type of gift or curse from a being many magnitudes more powerful than themselves. In addition to choosing a vocation, the Marked chooses what higher power they have a relationship with, and each day writes th
