(PFRPG): Difficulty Punishes Creativity (3 stars)Jhaemanhttps://paizo.com/products/btpy9c20?Pathfinder-Module-We-Be-Goblins-Free2021-09-23T03:05:53Z<p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free! (PFRPG)</b></p><p>NO SPOILERS</p>
<p><b><i>We Be Goblins Free!</b></i> is, as the pun-ishing title indicates, the third Free RPG Day module featuring the famous goblin "heroes" of Reta Bigbad, Chuffy Lickwound, Poog, and Mogmurch. I played Mogmurch (the alchemist) in a play-by-post game and while it was fun, I think the silly antics of goblins really come across better in a more immediate setting. Anyway, this fourteen page adventure (plus a table of contents and ads) is handsomely illustrated and in full colour. It's a solid experience, but I think the writer over-estimates the damage output of these little goblins which leads to some surprisingly tough encounters (especially if players are trying to get into the spirit and not taking optimum actions every round).</p>

<p>I love the original <i>We Be Goblins!</i> I've run it twice now, each time with a different group, and both groups have enjoyed it immensely. However, <i>We Be Goblins Free!</i> just doesn't add anything new to the series. It's the same old thing for the third time in a row. It's not a terrible adventure and played by itself, without ever playing the first two, it's probably quite entertaining. Otherwise, it's like a joke that's been told one too many times. It's just not that funny any more.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free!

(PFRPG)</b></p><p>I loved this sequel. It's short and doesn't go bigger than the last few sequels but it's appropriate for the story. The author made good choices to show progression of the characters and an appropriate adventure for 4 chiefs. I suspect it's setting up for a much bigger 4th adventure. </p>
<p>The adventure leave a lot to the GM and the players and has much more free time to let the players act like goblin chiefs. The Pregens are built and progressed well. </p>
<p>One thing I would like to see if a full module focusing on these characters.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free! (PFRPG)</b></p><p>I loved this sequel.

(PFRPG): Phoned it in (2 stars)RainyDayNinjahttps://paizo.com/products/btpy9c20?Pathfinder-Module-We-Be-Goblins-Free2015-06-22T14:49:34Z<p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free! (PFRPG)</b></p><p>I ran this module for Free RPG Day, and it seemed there wasn't much interesting going on here except what the players come up with themselves.</p>
<p>I'll try to be vague here to avoid spoilers:</p>
<p>In the first act, the games and amusements seriously lack diversity and inventiveness. Three of them are little more than repeated attack rolls, and the fourth is repeated Ride checks. There wasn't even much room for creative solutions from the PCs.</p>
<p>Once the combat starts, the first three fights are straight out-of-the-box encounters. No terrain effects, no deeper plot, no unusual tactics. Just "Here's a monster/group of bad guys. Kill it."</p>
<p>The final fight was a lot better, and had a flavorful opponent with tricks up his sleeves, and a relevant backstory that provided a crucial weakness... which none of the PCs can discover because the pregens don't have the Knowledge skill to identify it. The GM is forced to invent new ways for the PCs to learn about what they are fighting and how to defeat it.</p>
<p>Overall, it was just poorly designed, especially with regards to how the included pregens were built.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free!

(PFRPG): Fun and Fast ! ! ! (5 stars)Mondragonhttps://paizo.com/products/btpy9c20?Pathfinder-Module-We-Be-Goblins-Free2015-06-20T14:02:31Z<p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free! (PFRPG)</b></p><p>¡¡¡Spoiler Alert!!!</p>
<p>The game is divided into several parts:</p>
<p>It begins with games and storytelling in the village (the green goblin king, my favorite), which is pretty funny, but the systems are not particularly good (too simple, but all with fun).</p>
<p>After an assault a few humans, where the goblins can try, and abuse, their own special abilities.</p>
<p>In search of truffles there is a place for comic relief (horse poop) and two more or less heavy fighting, one of them, it seems the final battle ...</p>
<p>Which makes the last meeting, it is even more surprising. A Vorka rebuilt, with improved capacity to cannibalize, firing rockets like crazy, running over the goblins heads and trying to cook within herself ...</p>
<p>GREAT ending to this sequel of our favorite goblins.</p>
<p>Chronic sheet is as fun as interesting and very cohesive with previous.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free! (PFRPG)</b></p><p>¡¡¡Spoiler Alert!!!</p>
