i really want to see gear and weapons for goblins, we have the dogslicer and the horsechopper but i really want to see more.
i love goblins and want to see more material for them and cant wait to see this book.
I think that a goblin of Golarion would wish for a nice big oven to hide in. Or a big pile of firewood to hide behind.
Then he'd wish for something to catch on fire.
I don't think he'd get to his third wish...
Seeing as goblins hate words, I would like to see the book done entirely in crudely scrawled pictures and frightening song.
+1
That would be awseome if the lore part of the book was written that way. I would totaly buy it. Well I am going to buy it anyway....but I would love to show that to my players.

Such things are really really cool for the author, but less cool for GMs who are trying to actually use the rules therein to run games.
That was always one of my beefs with the White Wolf books; I always had a heck of a time digging the rules out from under the mountains of "Hey aren't I a cool writer" stuff piled on top of them.

As I said the rules would be in English...but the lore and stuff could be done in Goblin style(maybe w/ translations).
But I get your point.

This makes me think of the older WoD Malkavian clanbook. It was full of things like this, there was a page that was written mirrored and there was an appendix chapter as well as a kidney.
For being something that was good to read through but wasn't so full of crunch rules that you'd need to reference later it worked. I know a lot of the race books for pathfinder have a lot of rules content in them that you'll want to be able to find later and having an odd formatting might make that harder.
The problems with including handwritten scrawl as flavor text are that it can be hard to read and it wastes a lot of printable area with white-space. Unless the scrawl is the same size as the normal font, in which case the legibility goes even lower. (See: Black Dog/White Wolf's HOL, which was hysterically funny while being so impossible to actually use that I doubt anyone actually played it.) So a page or two, such as the inside covers, would be fun. Multiple pages will just be a throwaway, space better used for something else.
i think using the inside covers for some goblin pictograph's would be a cool idea.
i was looking at the ripsaw glaive and all i could think is how much this fits a goblin. those are the kind of weapons i would like to see.

I clicked on this thread hoping for a humorous compilation of goblin wishes.
"Me wish to have a horse on fire!""Me wish to be killing longshank!"
"Me wish for lots of dogs to kill!"

i would say posts like that are welcome on this thread lol
me wish to be on fire but not hurt
me wish to be on fire but not hurt
The goblin is teleported on to a melting sheet of ice, which is lying over a lake of lava. He is 'on' fire, but not hurt.

My big wish for this book is that it encourages potential goblin players rather than discourage. There should at least be some advice and suggestions on how to fit a goblin PC into a standard party.
To be honest, all of the Monstrous Race of Golarion books should probably have some sort of survival guide for their PCs that wish to go that route. Recommend possible solutions rather than piling on the problems and nothing but.
I wish Orcs of Golarion had. That was the book I had really been waiting for,..and, well...

I'd second that wish, but Paizo has to support their home setting. And their home setting isn't too fond of 'monstrous' races. So I doubt our wish will come true. :P

Yeah, but goblins are way more popular than orcs!

To be honest I really do hope goblin fans get that stuff, even if it does twist the knife a bit for us orc fans.
Goblins don't actually have many statistical disadvantages. Their sheer agility (for instance, I have a 2nd level goblin with a 22 Dex and +19 Stealth)makes up for their blandness.
