You are goblins of the Licktoad tribe, who live deep in Brinestump Marsh, south of the hated man-town called Sandpoint. Once, other goblins tried to burn Sandpoint down, and they would have been legends if they had succeeded. But they didn’t bring enough fire, and got themselves killed as a result.
Yesterday, your tribe discovered that one of your own had been using forbidden arts and was engaged in one of the greatest of taboos—writing things down. In fact, rumor holds that what he was writing was a history of your tribe! There’s no swifter way to bring about bad luck than stealing words out of your mind by writing them down, and so your tribe had no choice. You branded the goblin’s face with letters to punish him, which is why everyone calls him Scribbleface now, and then you ran him out of town, took all of his stuff, and burned down his hut.
That’s where things got interesting, because before you all burned down his hut, Chief Gutwad found a weird box within the building. Inside was a map and a lot of fireworks—fireworks that immediately came to use in burning the hut down. Then, this morning, Gutwad announced that tonight there would be a feast in order to drive out any lingering bad luck from Scribbleface’s poor decisions. But perhaps even more exciting, all of you have been secretly invited to meet at Chief Gutwad’s Moot House. Why would the chief want to speak to you? It can only mean that he’s got an important mission for you all... one that the other goblins of the tribe couldn’t pull off. This could be your chance to go down in Licktoad history!
Wanted: 3 players to join Poog of Zorongel (cleric) on an epic quest!
I'm looking for players who have never played Pathfinder before or have no more than two games under their belt.
This is a good adventure to get your feet wet, and I want to get us started quickly. Recruitment will end Aug. 8 and I'm looking for people who can post frequently (at least twice a day).
It's been a long time since I've played dungeonmaster and Pathfinder is a new ruleset for me, so we will be teaching each other how to play.
- Pre-generated goblins (recommended): In your application, please name the goblin you want to play and write an original Goblin Song. I will be choosing players by the best song.
- Create your own goblin: 15 point buy, level 1, core classes only (no Wizards, you heard what they did to Scribbleface), 2 traits, average starting wealth for class, Goblin Song

If you have any questions, please let me know! I look forward to playing with you all!
Looks fun, dotting!
I'm interested. I only have PF BB under my belt and that's as GM for my son. Haven't played any games as a player yet.
I'd like to play Drubbus Silentstalk. Here's my song:
Longshanks big and Longshanks tall,
I like to make them trip and fall!
Make them smell my stinky breath,
watch them puke and make a mess.
Kill a dog to shut it up,
Take my knife and cut it up!
Leave the parts around the farm,
Leave the blood outside the barn.
Scaring longshanks I like best,
Causing problems for the rest.
Taking treasures they don't know,
Make my wealth to grow grow grow!
Is this going to be for PFS credit?
No PFS credit this time.

I am interested I have only GM'ed pathfinder and that was only 1 game with a couple of friends.
I have read all the rulebooks and would really like to be on the player side.
I would like to play Rita BigBad
Here is my goblin song:
fire burns big and bright
killing all who try and fight
longshanks and horses bloody bloody
making toes and ground muddy muddy
take an ear or toe
for midnight snack
eat arms and legs
to get real fat
lady longshanks try and hide
chase them down and make them cry
use the blood as goblin slide
goblins will win when other die
A small overdressed goblin known as Slorb stands in the middle of the village. The village gobs go on their daily business, not paying much attention to him.
"His Mighty Girthness Chief Gutwad wants one more gob to find boom box! Is there no more greenskin brave enough? Come find me and sing goblin song, we throw big feast for four brave warriors!"
Slorb walks back into the chief's hut and the village activity resumes nearly uninterrupted.
I've only played one campaign of Pathfinder and I'm a total newb to the forums, so this is perfect! I'd like to play Medge the Curious
A pirate ship is my home
I steal treasure and stab gnome
Stupid shark ate my leg,
But then I went and stabbed shark dead!
While cutting you down,
I like to sing.
If you're rich,
I'll steal your things!
Sneaky Medge knows lots of stuff,
In a fight she's really tough
Stupid longshanks she like to kill
Eating their toes and drinking their swill
