~laughter~ How much will this cost? I may just have to pick it up.
I would actually buy this.
I would actually buy this.
ME TOO! It'd be a laugh.
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!
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.
NO! Gobbinz not good...sezz right in book...
Hey, look at that. New desktop wallpaper. Thanks!
:-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 thought the fake pony bestiary entries were funnier.
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.
BWAHAHAHA!
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~
Do you think if enough of us ask for this they will actually make it?No.
At least, I HOPE "no."
:-P
But rename it, "Goblins of Glory!" Alliteration always makes everything awesomer.

'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).

That.Would.Be.Awesome (especially if Wayne Reynalds actually drew them!)
In all seriousness, I would love to see a Goblinomicon book, or something like that. I love goblins.

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.
Do you think if enough of us ask for this they will actually make it?No.
At least, I HOPE "no."
:-P
NO?!?!? ~snarls~ Change that to a YES or ELSE!!! ~goes off in a huff, snarling and growling as I leave~
~grins~
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.

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.
