Have you played Goblinville ?

By Michael Dunn-O'Connor & Eric Swanson

Goblinville is a fantasy adventure RPG about broke goblins and the town they live in. 3-5 players will create and play a band of goblins in search of treasure to make rent and support their town. Their job is to venture forth into the dangerous wilds and try to survive! One player is the Goblin Master: their job is to put interesting perils between the goblins and what they want.

Character creation is collaborative, generating the goblins themselves and the events in their town that drive them to adventure. The core rules prompt players to choose between getting what their goblin wants and avoiding new complications. This keeps the goblins' story dynamic and unpredictable, reinforcing the feeling that goblins are the underdogs in a fantastic and dangerous world.

Over the course of a campaign, the players detail and expand their town as a hub for new trouble and adventures, sharing in its advancement and pitfalls.

I told my partner that sometimes when I'm making NPCs, I worry that I'll run out of voices for the new ones. She kissed me and gently told me that she didn't think it was possible for me to run out of weird voices, and that's love.

We are joined this week on the Vintage RPG Podcast by the fine fellows from Narrative Dynamics, Michael Dunn-O'Connor and Eric Swanson. They are the folks behind the Goblinville RPG zines and Rebel Crown - two very different but equally awesome games. We discuss them both, what it is like switching tones, the difference between designing your own game and using an existing engine (Rebel Crown is a Forged in the Dark game), the appeal of box sets and much more!

w...wait i just saw ur post about elves biting into full sized tomatoes, and while i love it and its hilarious, i am also super confused bc HOW DO YOU EAT FULL SIZED TOMATOES??? ive always bitten into them like an apple? thats how my entire family eats them??? i took them in my lunchbox to school and just ate them any other round, fist-sized fruit. do other people not do that???? i didnt think it was weird and ur post lowkey broke me wtf. maybe its an Aussie thing? u’ve rlly thrown me off lmao

what i already knew before i made that post:

some people bite into full tomatoes (thought it was a relatively small minority)

what i thought when making that post:

oh this will be funny

what i have learned from that post:

1) biting directly into tomatoes is common (all over the world - it does not appear to be just an aussie thing)

2) people feel very strongly about how they eat their tomatoes

how i eat tomatoes:

i eat grape tomatoes (also called cherry tomatoes)

should i have a full sized tomato, i will slice it

if im adding it to a dish i usually dice said full tomato

this has been vax’s quick tomato post guide

#if i sound annoyed its not really at the asker #you are very nice goblinville #its just ive been getting a lot of uuuuhhhh commentary on that post #i hope this clears it up #goblinville #asks #answers #the great tomato post #lmao my experiences are not universal

Am I standing in my kitchen eating corn chips with chocolate syrup drizzled on them? Yes I am.

Two of my players were frustrated tonight during game and that is a pretty heavy weight. But then talking it through with them that it's okay to be frustrated and it's okay to tell me, that was exhausting.

So it's time for a little revenge sleep procrastination and some chocolate covered tortilla chips.

Can't sleep, gotta get up and worry about the silly Goblinville game I'm running tomorrow with my best friends.

I better stumble into the kitchen in the middle of the night and eat tortilla chips with chocolate syrup on them.

It's nice when half the session was the players meeting a new centaur merchant NPC and they said the game was a ton of fun when it was mostly just roleplay.

One of my players sent me a drawing she did of her goblin character and we haven't even had our first session! It's been a decade since I ran a game, but I don't think I've ever had a player draw their character before and I'm just
