A most unusual adventure for 1st-level goblin characters.
The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure—fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads’ leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads’ bravest goblins, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they’ve proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. For the ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors....
We Be Goblins! is an adventure for 1st-level characters in which the PCs play a horde of malicious and murderous goblins, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. The adventure takes place outside the town of Sandpoint in the Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be adapted for any campaign world. It also serves as a preview of Pathfinder Player Companion: Goblins of Golarion, and as an optional prequel to Pathfinder Adventure Path's upcoming Jade Regent Adventure Path.

This module is just insane. Explosions. Vomiting. A love interest named Gupy Wartybits. Fear of dogs. Horse hatred. Eating slugs competitively. Riding rodeo-style on a hyperactive piglet named Squealy Nord.
All of it culminates in the most wonderfully enjoyable Free RPG day module ever. If you get the chance to play this, take it.
This adventure is wall-to-wall goblin hilarity. We used it to introduce a new player to roleplaying... which seems like an odd choice, even as we were doing it, but turned out amazingly.
The entire group still slips into their goblin voices from time to time, if that gives you any idea of how popular it was.
The only possible problem I can see is if you have a player that just won't get into the goblin frame of mind. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though. Being a goblin is just too much fun to sit out.
With a simple premise (not that the poor licktoads could handle anything more complex) this short module takes only a few hours to play and is a whole goblin village full of fun.
A one-shot adventure where your players will be given control of a group of the evil little cretins known as goblins, the combats, social and everything inbetween is a barrel of laughs.
I've run this mod three times now and would gladly run it again because unlike regular games where a GM tries to kill the players (not really), this time the players do it for you...
Played this recently with my wife running the game and I must say the most fun I have head playing a character in a long time. I had so much fun that i will most likely play a goblin for my next character, or as my next npc when I run a game.
