Pathfinder Module: We B4 Goblins! (PFRPG)

Prepare for 5dventure!

That's a made up word.

Looking forward to this. I wonder why we have a new author on this one?

Because Crystal Frasier is AWESOME!!!!

Also, Crystal has written a bunch of stuff previously. All of it is also AWESOME!!!

From time to time, it's good to shake things up.

I was thinking I'd have to wait at least another year! Hurray! Goblins 4 Life.

I'm excited. Was kind of hoping for EVEN MORE HIGHER LEVEL GOBLINS though!

I have a soft spot for kobolds. Maybe a kobolds adventure next? We've sort of got one in PFS, but you need stars. All the stars...

This adventure is misnamed. Since it's about young goblins, it should have been called Wee Goblins!

-Skeld

Too obvious?

the B4 / Before pun make some sense.

How many goblins are going to go down to a frying pan in the face I wonder... Also I wonder if this might be the origin story for how Reta got her bridal dress outfit in all later art versions of her character. Either way 'this is gonna be good.'

The challenges to prove the players worthiness of being a 'true goblin', make me think of all sorts of mock trails that goblins could do to prove their goblininess, like the labours of hercules only much more stupid, and menial. If I were to run a goblin game, I would include the presence of goblin 'exiles' that were thrown out by a past chief then invited to reintegration by the new chief (that probably back stabbed and killed the old chief). It's not an easy process, as they would need to prove their worth and their goblininess to the tribe, while likely suffering horrendous humiliation thanks to rivals or the chief wanting to prove a point.

But in all fairness, I love the idea of this being our four plucky 'heroes' origin story in the series. Of all the directions we be goblins could have gone, an origin story isn't exactly the worst thing that could happen. Still want to see the goblins conquer a threat that doesn't just exist in their backyard view of the world, especially since they are technically in charge of a goblin tribe now, and could maybe start to expand their power for making bigger and more ambitious raids.

Hey folks! Thank you for posting your feedback about the selection for this year's Free RPG Day. I think it might be a better venue, though, to post any ideas about alternate adventures to our Pathfinder Modules subforum. Our product discussion threads really need to be centered on the specific product being discussed, and there are definitely nuggets of good discussion to be had here that I'm not sure quite fit.

Is it going to be available as a PDF a little ahead of time so we can run it on Free Module Day, like it was last year?

Part of our agreement with Free RPG Day is that we do not distribute the adventure before the event date. However, participating locations typically receive their package well in advance of the event, and many have had success asking the retailer to loan out a copy of the book for adventure preparation purposes ahead of time.

Last year we added a download link to the pregenerated characters (not the adventure) a few days before Free RPG Day so that GMs could print them out to run the event. Thus far we haven't discussed the possibility of doing that again, but I can investigate.

I hope the Pre-Gens would be out before the date, I like to laminate them and have the songs on the back.

Sounds like a blast. Are the "Kids" going to have the "Young" template, or have some other kiddie mechanic?

WeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!!!! GoBlInS!!!!

I definitely hope so because that made all of us our lives at our RPG Day so much easier.

I hope the Goblin pregens will have the relevant skill checks on their sheet even if they don't have ranks and that all PCs are a bit balanced in this regard.

Although I expect Crystal will use something more exciting than repeated skill checks for the challenges.

I adore the WBG series. I'm happy there's another one, but I was kind of hoping for a higher level goblin adventure for the PFS goblin expert that I built.

I'm looking forward to running this one!

Hmm

You think this will be a tier 1-2 chronicle sheet?

I love the "We Be Goblins" series!

How is this supposed to work with younger characters?

Please make a higher level one next. Also, an all-goblin Adventure Path would be cool.

I believe it very likely.

How will we get this ready for Free RPG Day if it's not available for download until the following month?

If you are planning to run this in a game store that is participating, you can get the physical module there a few weeks in advance.

When will the Chronicles sheets be available? I know the local FLGS received their box already as the owner taunted me by waving about the goodies...

Being able to print the pregens ahead of time would be great.

I got the modules from my Store for my GM's. just checking in on Pre-Gens (are they the same as part 1? I haven't compared yet) and Chronicle sheets for downloading. If it's just VC's that's fine, just want to make sure we have time to get things printed for the event!

The module looks fun and we have 30 RSVP's plus walk in's so it should be a smashing all day event at Your Mom's Basement!

Chronicle sheets should be next week. I just got my copy today and started reading it. The pregens are different than previous ones.

A lot of naysayers. I like the idea. Are there any other Evil alignment adventure paths (for sale) that are designed for PCs that are monster races? I like the idea, and would like to see it expanded into a true adventure path series.

I'm a huge fan of goblins and this series. Way of Wicked may fit your needs for evil campaign. Also you can try the new AP and mod it to your liking.

Hell's Vengeance could work with monnster races, but would require a bit more book keeping, unless the GM doesn't give a s*** about 'humanocentrism'.

I just finished reading it. I was laughing a lot! Great job guys! Can't wait to run it. I've got some fun ideas of flavor things to bring to Free RPG day.

We don't need no stinking badges.

Non spoiler I hope, but is it the same party?

I want to be able to take pre sign ups and some people would like to book their old character.

Yes. It's a prequel to the first game.

And probably the origin of rettas dress she wears in all her art.

Goblins rock and bring in noobs
Never bite them for your foods
VOs need them for our ranks
Don't forget to give them thanks

(grumble grumble its a free adventure, it beats a frying pan to the head...)

Any update on character or Chronicle sheet downloads?
It be nice to have a fresh character sheet for each play through run.
And maybe get GM credit for games run and possibly hook people into PFS play...

We Be Goblins! 5 needs to be a seafaring adventure so they can jump on the shark. :)

That is a great idea, but please in 2 years - if we get another goblin adventure for FRPGD 2017, i'll loose all interest in it. ;-)

We'll be addressing Chronicle sheet downloads in tomorrow's blog. You should have no problem running the adventure for organized play credit.

Thanks for the update, John!

Pregenerated characters and Pathfinder Society downloads now available in the product listing :)

Clicking on the pregen link just took me back to the paizo.com home page.

(Also, there's an 'e' missing from 'pregenerated.' And the fact that the file is 666 kb amuses me greatly!)

Same here :-/

Oops, should be fixed now! Sorry about that!

*kicks rock sullenly*

She always comes along and fixes things, spoiling my fun! No fair!

:p

OK, cool! Using the young character rules suggestion from Ultimate Campaign and making them NPC classes as a precursor to their actual class levels given in the other modules. Neat!

EDIT: I just realized...this is the first pre-1st level adventure ever put out for Pathfinder by Paizo—and may even be the first ever published for the game, period!

I love that there's a toad boon.

I'm looking forward to some more Goblin hijinks and learning some more of their backstories.

I what to see a Adventure Path only for Goblins
Or at just a Campaign Setting

Have you read Goblins of Golarion? There's lots of good background information in there.
