Romaq,
Just so you know these are great modules. But that being said, they are not really great as a lead in to PFS play. As you area actually playing Goblins which is not available currently in PFS as I am sure you know. A much better lead in would be the First step scenarios that Pathfinder Society puts out. They are short and fairly easy to play. If you are intending this to lead to a PFS events at the LFGS that you are near then you might want to do those as an event there too?
Which could lead to more PFS later :)

I'm new to all this! Our Local Friendly Game Store (LFGS) is participating in FreeRPG day. Does that mean they can order this exclusively for FreeRPG day?
What retailers order is a Free RPG Day kit, which includes 15 copies of We Be Goblins Too!, along with between 1-15 copies of each of the Free RPG Day products from other companies. (Stores can order multiple copies of the kit, but they can't order specific products from the kit.)
What is the lead time for them to get it into the hands of GMs to produce this for FreeRPG day?
The kits are shipped by Impressions (the people who put on Free RPG Day), not Paizo, so I can't provide specific dates, but kits should arrive in time for GMs working with those retailers to get in some prep time before the event day.
I am doing the last of the PFS Intro series this month, and then we will begin with normal PFS games. The group is enthused about FreeRPG Day, and that it will apply to PFS is just a bonus. :)
Hellboars? What's next, Hellbears? :P

Mnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Given that the first We Be Goblins is down to the last few copies, and the economics of reprinting a Free RPG Day adventure are not good, I wouldn't hold my breath. But have you seen the We Be Goblins plastic minis?Yup. My wife will need this one as well. Next thing you'll put up are more plush Goblins, since we have the others. :)
Any chance we might see a small Pawns set for the two modules? ;)
Any chance of getting the minis before Free RPG Day?
Would I be correct to assume this module ends at 6th level?
Would I be correct to assume this module ends at 6th level?
Doubtful. The first one didn't even get the Goblins to 2nd, really.
16 pages (including OGL etc) won't get you from 3rd to 6th, maybe 4th if it all goes well.
So I can't really run We Be Goblins and We Be Goblins Too back-to-back without artificially giving them levels.

We Be Goblins uses level 1 pregen characters. You could have your players create their own characters, but they should be level 1 Goblins of the Licktoad tribe. It provides about 2205 combat XP and whatever additional XP the GM decides to award. It would get 4 level 1 goblins about 1/3 the way to level 2 under normal XP advancement.
We Be Goblins Too uses the same Goblin pregens, but they are now level 3. I assume it follows the same XP ratio and would give about 1/3 the XP needed to go from level 3 to level 4 under normal advancement.
But the XP awarded is really completely up to the GM. And you could play WBG with level 2 characters that level to 3 at the finish of WBG so that they are level 3 when starting WBGT.
It is all up to the group.
And for Pathfinder Society Organized Play:
We Be Goblins has you running level 1 (15-point buy) pregen Goblins. You get to apply the Chronicle sheet to a level 1 or level 2 PFS character (even if the Goblin dies - see the included text with the Chronicle sheet). You may play the Free RPG Day module more than once and apply the Chronicle sheet to a different level 1 character. You may only apply the Chronicle to one level 2 character.
We Be Goblins Too! has you running a level 3 Goblin (presumably also 15-point buy). Under sanctioned module rules you may apply the Chronicle sheet to a level 2, 3, or 4 PFS character. Since We Be Goblins Too! is a Tier 2-4 module you may only take 1 Chronicle as a player and 1 as a GM.
Both provide 1 XP, 1 PP, and a certain amount of gold.
If you wanted your PFS character to get both Chronicles back-to-back, the play options are:
PC starts with 2 XP, plays WBG (becomes level 2), then plays WBGT.
PC starts with 3, 4 or 5 XP (is level 2), plays WBG, then WBGT. (You may only apply a WBG sheet to a level 2 character once.)
PC starts with 3 or 4 XP (is level 2) plays WBGT, then plays WBG.
Note: your character does not play either adventure. You play a Goblin pregen and apply the Chronicle sheet to one of your characters.
Hi all, first time poster.
So lemme say, I love this module. Some of the most fun I've ever had GMing. I ran this for my group, and then went right into the Jade Regent Adventure Path. Which now has me confused.
In Brinewall Legacy it says that after the goblin heroes looted further treasure from the marsh, their village was raided by skeletons. It says that "Chief Gutwad's goblin hereos met the skeletons in battle at the pond but were swiftly cut down." Needless to say, both me and my players were crushed to find out their favorite little goblins died.
...so how are they alive and 3rd level now?
Even 3rd-level goblins (or PCs, for that matter) can die due to poor planning and bad rolls.

"Not Dead Yet!" is the appropriate catchphrase here, I think.
I am SO running this Gen Con Wednesday @ Scotty's...sign me up :)
Mike
You are IN! :) That makes 4 players (bringing 3 with me in the car...)
Any chance there will be a couple more pregens to round out a table of 6? If I had my druthers, I'd like to see Stumpbiter & Buggy Bugeye leveled up along with Reeta, Chuffy, Mogmurch, & Poog...

If I'm planning on running this at a retail store on free RPG day is there any way to get the PDF, even the night before so I'm prepped? Can a local VC facilitate that so their is a chain of trust?
Probably best totally to the store you're planning to run at; chances are they'll have the FRPG day box earlier than the 16th, and might be willing to let you see the book before.

Are the PFS Chronicles going to be in the module or will they become available as a pdf closer to the June 15th? What about the pre-gens?
Will stores participating in Free RPG days really be giving a copy of the module to GMs who will be running it on Free RPG day in advance to prepare?
I hope to pull this together for the FLGS I have been gaming at lately, but just been so busy lately. Hope to talk to them Thursday at our next game session, but any answer in advance will be appreciated.
I found some pink pig miniatures at the craft store the other day. I bought them just in case...
Nord has a crucial role to play, you could say pivotal, or pigotal...ah, maybe not.
Pigotal, ha!
Mnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaar!

The original "We Be Goblins!" included the pregens; the chronicle was available (as a separate download) from Paizo. WBG2 requires different pregens (same characters, different level), so it's a good bet that they will be included; I'd expect the chronicle to be available as a download.

That's pretty much up to you and your local store. We weren't involved in PFS when WBG came along, but last year I did get my hands on "Dawn of the Silent Sun" a few days ahead of time so I could prepare for the event.

They have the pre-gens for "We Be Goblins!" as a download now, so I was hoping they might prepare such a download for WBG2 so we have have them ready as a hand out, assuming everyone at the table didn't get a copy of the module as part of Free RPG Day. Also I was thinking if the FRPGS doesn't give out a copy to the GM, if he had the pre-gens to hand out, he could try to wing running the module without having to make photo copies on the spur of the moment.

I hope to find that out tonight.
The aim is to have the Chronicle sheets available in time for Free RPG Day. I will be able to provide more precise information closer to the event date.
Will there be printable per-generated characters. The ones included in the module are formatted in a way to make simply photo coping is out of the question. In We Be Goblins they are one page per character. In We Be Goblins Too Reta is on page 13, Chuffy is on page 13 and 14, Poog is on page 14 and 15, and finally Mogmurch is on page 15. I understand that it would have meant loosing the inside back cover illustration (a repeat of the front cover with out text) or adding another 4 page sheet.

+1 to the above. I second the question... :)
This make Bitey happy!

Hopefully they will release the pregen character sheets as well as the Chronicle Sheets. As long as the sheets are available the day before, I will be good to go for the 15th!

Any idea on the levels in society can play this one?You play a level 3 Goblin. The Chronicle sheet may be applied to a level 2-4 PFS character.
I thought when you play a pregen you have to apply it to a character the level of the pregen (or higher so long as they are in the level range of the module) per the Pathfinder Society Guide to Organized Play 4.3 Page 6. Is this an exception? If so where can I confirm that it is an exception from Mike Brock or someone else official so I can back it up when someone challenges me in my group.
If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the level of the pregenerated character played. You may also opt instead to apply the credit from the non-1st-level pregenerated character played to a newly created character with the gp gained reduced to 500 gp (or 250 for characters using the slow advancement track). You do not lose access to Prestige Points, boons, and items listed on the Chronicle sheet that were earned during the adventure.

The chronicle for We Be Goblins Too has not come out yet. We Be Goblins is not an exception because it allowed 1-2 because you played a level 1 pregen and can can apply it to a higher level character so long as it is in the level range of the module.
Also, the rules for applying a chronicle when playing a level 1 pregen is different if you read the rest of page 6 in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized play.
