Pathfinder Module: We Be 5uper Goblins!

Announced for Free RPG Day 2018! Description and image are final.

Release dates need correcting

GIANT PARROTs. A WORLD WITHIN A BAG. AND MORE GOBLINS. Yes. This pleases me. And a truely heroic moment for the goblin heroes. After all, who would guess the same goblins that trashed a wedding and have raised some considerable chaos, would brave a dangerous dimension of unknown terrors for their noble swine. I really want to run a long running camp with these misfits.

I hope this one will get free pdf download for fifth and sixth character like the npc class prequel module got. Mainly because I want to know what class the "Totally a goblin" and the other goblin would get

I was hoping for something else, because I'm bored mindless of the Goblins. Blah blah we have low Int and are cookoo blah blah.

The last Free RPG Day mod for any characters other than Goblins was, what, Risen from the Sands? Wasn't that 2014?

Yeah, too much of a good thing...
Luckily there is a Starfinder free rpg adventure where you get to play Space Goblins - just kidding - Skittermanders.

I hear you. And I personally think we've hit peak goblin in terms of enjoyment, but I think a once-a-year shorter-than-normal module is perfect for this. They're really easy to get a new group interested in, can be prepared and run on the spot, and are funny. For Free RPG Day they're the right product. For new groups.

Curiosity: What's usually the timing/turnaround for Society Chronicle sheets for these?

Yeah. I get that they are somewhat popular but it gets old after a while. I'd have really liked to have seen something else instead of another goblin module, especially given the recent hubbub about them being in the second edition core.

More goblin adventures! Moar!!!

While the Goblin series certainly has it's fans, imo the Free RPG adventures should be 1st level introductiory adventures for people who never played before.
That's why i like the "Skitter Shot" idea. I'd also like other obscure races or concepts showcased in future installments.
How about an all-Cat Folk adventure or an all Drow adventure for example?

Curiosity: What's usually the timing/turnaround for Society Chronicle sheets for these?

Usually a few days beforehand.

While I appreciate that some folks might want Paizo to have a non-goblin adventure instead of this one, I will say that I got to play it with the author at PaizoCon and had about as much fun as I've ever had at a table. Give it a chance, y'all.

I am running this at my local shop on the 16th for Free RPG Day. The print copy I was provided has everything but the chronicle for PFS; is it something that I need to get from somewhere else?

It should be posted around here in the next week.

I think I'll be drawing the maps in crayon...

Running on the 16th and still waiting for the PDF & Chronicles.

The chronicles are one things, but the PDF definitely won’t be out this weekend. While I’ve never seen the other books come out 15 days later than the book, they might keep to that. This weekend is all about the printed copy.

Running on the 16th and still waiting for the PDF & Chronicles.

There won't be a pdf until at least july.

If your store hasn't ordered the free rpg package with the print copies (which should have shipped by now), you sadly won't be able to run this. ;-(

It's on the schedule for Origins - and I have a ticket.

Then it’ll have to be a physical copy. Hope it works out.

Pregenerated characters and sanctioning document are now available for download!

A certain boon might need a bit of revision. It doesn't give a limit. I assume just a one time deal, otherwise it could be used in every encounter.

If you mean the second boon, it does say it has to be crossed off to be used.

I see it now. Not used to it being part of a sentence near the beginning. Usually it's all by itself at the end.

Doing my "prep" for this for Saturday and just want to say that this may be the most fun and wacky WBG mod yet (especially the understated, but hilarious hijinks potential of "A3").

I had a physical copy, I was looking for the PDF so I can print up the maps. If I can't get the PDF of the adventure can I please have the Map image. If I have to scan it and print it off the scan its going going to look like blurry ass.

Also one prep question
Are there stats with feats/tricks for Poog's animal companion or should I just do my own?

Edit
Also I think the +5 tome has the wrong price. The price listed is for the +4 version, +5 should be 137,500 I think.

I was also going to note that the Animal Companion is missing from Poog which I think is a lost opportunity especially for a module intended to be played by players new to Pathfinder - they are likely going to miss that he has an animal companion let alone know how to make one up (and with a pregenerated character part of the fun is not having to do character generation to try something new). Too late now but this is also a rather large source of table variation for PFS play...

As well given that this is intended for PFS play is there a reason why 6 goblins aren't just stated out from the start? It would be great if the new Free RPG Day modules were designed to accommodate 6 player tables with ease (yes i know you just end up with multiples of a given character).

(I'm running this tomorrow...)

For PFS the only variation would be with the 2 feats & tricks. This is the version I made for my table. I think toughness is must and his bite is not that good to hit so went with weapon focus.

The animal companion is missing on purpose, I think.

Animal companions are also tricky to handle for new and casual players. Not even all GMs run animal companions the same way.

One of my GMs pointed out that the these stats are inaccurate. Hero Lab appears to be flawed on Giant Frogs, or possibly gets them from a different source. The base stats should be Str 15 (16 due to level), Dex 13 (14 due to level), Con 16, Int 1, Wis 9, Cha 6.

This shifts its damage and hp up a bit and lowers its AC. Also, with 1 int it has fewer tricks. As soon as I get his full write up, I will post it for comparison.

Alright, this is what my GM and I came up with for Mister Licks. The numbers should be accurate based on the animal companion stats (and effective druid level) from the Bestiary. If anyone finds a mistake or has a question, just holler.

Proving the variation possible right here in this thread. I think I won’t use mr licks in the majority of the module and only for roleplaying in the initial scene.

Regardless of the stats, these should have been spoilered. 1) Because this is a sequel and previous players will see this, and 2) this is a LOT of text to take up on the page.

Definitely, my apologies.

Hello. How do I get a physical copy of this 5th Goblins adventure?

Go to a store that is participating in free rpg day.

The physical copy will also be available to buy on July 1st.

While the Goblin series certainly has it's fans, imo the Free RPG adventures should be 1st level introductiory adventures for people who never played before.

People who have never played before have never played „We Be Goblins“ :-p

but I‘m with you for an all Cat Folk adventure.

but I‘m with you for an all Cat Folk adventure.

I'd be down for another kobolds game where you set up traps again. Perhaps something not requiring 5 stars. Just ran it for the first time at this year's convention because I'm a VL. My players have never had so much fun. They were didn't want it to end.

But yeah, I wouldn't be against a fun scenario where you're a completely different race that's unlikely to be playable short of a convention boon. Would love to do an underwater scenario with a merfolk, or traverse through the Darklands as a drow.

That said, very much down for continuing the tradition at our next con with yet another goblin scenario and finding out what shenanigans my players are going to get into this time. July 1st can't get here quickly enough.

Same here. I love Crystal Frasier's work but can't stand the goblins and it becomes once again something I can't use at my table. It was said they would alternate non-goblin and goblin adventures but they never did.

I personally wouldn't mind we be goblins unofficial ap composed of 21 modules were one is the prequel :p

Some thoughts, post Con

I understand the goblin fatigue. I mean I enjoyed the scenario and the theme, but I understand it. Maybe for next year we can have a 'Master of the Fallen Fortress' like 2e scenario that introduces new PCs to the Pathfinder Society?

I think we can safely assume that if the Pathfinder Free RPG Day 2019 product will be an adventure, it will be for Pathfinder First Edition.

Second Edition won't be out until August 2019, and Free RPG Day will probably be in May or June, so it's unlikely we'll get a Second Edition adventure. It's also unlikely that it will be an adventure using the Pathfinder Playtest rules, as the playtest will long be done by then, and the Second Edition final rules will have solidified at that time.

So, either we'll be getting a final First Edition adventure, or the Pathfinder Free RPG Day 2019 product will be something else entirely, such as a preview product like the the 2009 Bonus Bestiary or Starfinder's First Contact from last year.

Hmmmm, me thinks someone read KODT's Bag World comics....

It was said they would alternate non-goblin and goblin adventures but they never did.

Free RPG Day adventures since 2011:

So we did alternate, for a while. The problem is, Free RPG Day modules without goblins are like T-shirts in colors other than black: a lot of people say they really want them, but whenever we do them, they just plain don't sell as well.

To be fair, both Down of the Scarlet Sun and Risen from the Sands have reputation as "You are gonna die if you play with pregens and even without them" <_<

But yeah, I definitely don't mind Goblin module on free rpg days. Though I would definitely take kobolds over them xD

PDF available

Looking at this finally, I can see there's a number of errors. Could have used one final edit before going out. Most have been brought up here and on the GM forum, but the first thing I noticed was the map was missing location C. We have A, B, D, and E. No C.

EDIT: Also, the map on the inside cover was copy/pasted on page 7. Seems unnecessary.
