I've been waiting for the right time to join PFS; looks like that time... is now.

If you would believe it, I have had goblins as a PC race (my own recipe, of course) for years... :)
I'd love to see this officially, though!

I'm confused. Is this blog PFS compatible or not? Because I'll complain either way and threaten to quit altogether.

Truthfully, I find myself drawn to the Goblinomicon.
It would be a ton of work, but absolutely hilarious to read a copy of the Core Rulebook completely rewritten from a Pro-Goblin point of view. With Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc and Human replaced by Goblin, Goblin, Goblin, Relly Big Rat, and Goblin. The gear section would be short, though.
Trade Guds: Pickles, Shiny Things, Sharp Things
Weapons: Pickles, Shiny Things, Sharp Things, Heavy Things, Burny Things.
Miscellaneous Gear: Stuff to put Shiny Things, Sharp Things, Heavy Things and Burny Things In.
Followed by a section: How to put Burny Things out before putting them in something you want to keep. Which trails off into an incoherent howling noise.
But perhaps I digress too far.

Always read the post before threatening to quit... and check the date, too.

Having a goblin at the table is an unsaid rule in home campaigns where I'm at, and I always wondered why Pathfinder Society din't join in the goblin fun. This alone makes up for any perceived slights on PFS from controversial rules changes!

Sorry, I should have added a [/snark] tag to my post...

I LOL'd.
I'm excited for the new alignment system. Balanced, the way good should have always been.

:-D great work guys!!
and I want my Goblinomicon!! Maybe we should start a campaign for it - it has worked for the flumph after all

An exciting reworking of the alignment system that allows you to play arsonists and baby-eaters while still being good-aligned
Wait. Hold the phone.
Arson and baby-eating aren't inherently good acts? Now I don't know what to do with Flames McBabycruncher, my dwarven paladin.Well shoot. Oh! Maybe the book will also contain guidelines for converting existing characters into their goblin counterparts? That'd be sweet!

I truly hope that this faux-blog post spawns the next "Misfit Monsters Redeemed" -
=something that started as a gag, but went on to become a real life smorgasbord of awesome

I would like to preorder this now, as a player banned from playing goblins (because i did infact set fires, eat babies, kill dogs, steal things of great sentimental importance to other players and turn them into crude killing implements among other wonderful exploits) i would take no greater joy than seeing the "innocent accident charts." Also, goblin babysitter may well be the greatest class ever. I implore Paizo to actually make these hollow promises come true, and expedite them. Samurai and Ninjas are neat, but goblins are GOBLINS, and should be moved to the front of the list. Would absolutely LOVE to read the "meet the iconics" for the goblin babysitter.

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this book ever since I got wind of the "innocent accidents chart". I'm REALLY looking forward to the Bard archetype, the Underarm Trumpeteer.

Of course, the cultural practice you are engaging in ends at noon in most English speaking countries, the US being the exception and not the rule, so...boo-hoo for blog time.

I actually want this. I knew what it was when I saw it, but I was still thinking "Damn, that would be fun!" - A perfect companion for the "We be goblins!" FRPGDay book~

I'm quite fond of the string of drool in the mouth of the goblin 'midwife.' Yeah, she's just salivating at the 'miracle of birth.'
The half-orc in the back looks concerned. In my head, he's thinking, 'Hey, save some of that for me!'

I just played MAID and Paranoia. "Goblins of Purity" would be a fresh breath of seriousness....

But rename it, "Goblins of Glory!" Alliteration always makes everything awesomer.

It's a shame this is just an April Fools joke...I'd actually buy the item as my players are bugging me to run a Goblin centered campaign. Also a shame that they're not a "core race"...

'Goblin versions of your favorite dieties' sounds neat.
I could totally see Goblin versions of Asmodeus (setting himself on fire) and Calistria (swearing vengeance on everyone laughing as she runs into the distance, being stung by her 'holy wasps') and Iomedae (riding her war-pig at the nearest windmill with a righteous cry) and Zon-Kuthon (helplessly entangled in his own chains).

While I'm a huge Wayne Reynolds fan, for Goblins, I prefer not-so-serious art, like that of Hugo with his 'the Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' or N'Wah with his awesome little cardboard guys.
Not that Crystal and Andrew don't rock... :)
Goblified Iconics would rock, rock, RAWK. Cocky Goblin Valeros? Grumpy Goblin Ezren with his Big Little Picture Book of Spells? Goblin Damiel, visible only as a hand gripping a flask, buried under a pile of other alchemical gear? The eye-searing horror that would be Goblin Seoni?

I would actually buy this.ME TOO! It'd be a laugh.
besides it would confuse the heck out of the members of the group who don't visit these boards.
the perfect new monster.

How about a goblin ninja. Because what could be cooler than a ninja that stealthy murders the family dog and then sets the house on fire.

I can't believe someone's NOT making something like this. Seriously, enough people would buy it that it would be totally worth it. I mean, they obviously know enough people love goblins that this would get a rise out of people... why not take it that next step?
Also, just in general, rules for baby-eating are useful for any kind of game, goblin-centric or not.

Nope sorry Paizo folks we internet people are a whiny lot so yep someone will have to make this... I even toss in a please to the mix.

what white wolf did a couple of times was to make a joke pdf that people could buy (that's right, buy) with joke roles or a twist to the setting, and so forth, the same should be done here

Actually, it sounded pretty interesting. I knew it was a joke, but I think Paizo has fallen victim to their own success. They made a joke product sound good enough to actually make people want it.

Goblins....
what's not to want?
wicked funny post, AWESOME art (especially when my players run into high level PC-classed goblins), and a great concept for a book, even if it is a joke.

I actually think that's a good problem to have.
In any case... we DO have a goblin book coming at Gen Con. And I suspect it'll scratch the itch folks have to see more goblin craziness in play.
