Goblin Quest is a TTRPG by Grant Howitt about slapstick violence, fatal ineptitude, and the greatest adventure of your life.. Doodle and play five goblins each (in sequence, not parallel) and watch them one by one meet hilarious ends. This time, we're playing a hack, but the goal is the same: You’ll steer them through (or, more commonly, directly into) adversity, and you’ll have a fun time doing it. Will they survive the dangerous world and complete all their silly quest? Probably not. But you'll have fun finding out! The pitch for Kobold Quest: You live in the Underdungeon, a sprawling network of disused mines, mysterious tunnels, natural caves, and underground seas. At the centre of it all is the Mighty Dragon King, sitting on his pile of gold, with legions of kobolds under his direct command. Your lord and master The Mighty Dragon King has called upon your collected gangs to fulfill his next whim. Of course, the best solution to any problem (as all kobolds know) is to build an over-complicated contraption to solve it for you. You’ll all work together to build a Contraption, then push the big red button(s) and watch everything go swimmingly horribly wrong. Come up with your components, set out to gather/steal them, assemble it and most likely lose many Kobolds in the process.

This game will be great if you like drawing, kobolds, Mouse Trap, weird inventions, shenanigans, harebrained schemes, saturday morning cartoons, Grant Howitt's games Note: drawing your Kobolds and random items for the contraption is a required part of gameplay. These will be quick doodles so not artistic skill needed, think crappy MS Paint levels and you are fine :P This can be done digitally or on paper. If drawing on paper, please be prepared to take photos (using a smartphone or similar device) and share/upload them in our game's thread on Discord. 

This system is especially great for new players. 

The game runner is well-versed in this system. 

We will build characters in session. 

This game will be played in room #4 of the TTRPG Pickup Con Discord Server. Spectators are welcome in the Discord room, using Miro whiteboards. https://miro.com/

Goblin Quest is a tabletop roleplaying game by Grant Howitt about slapstick violence, fatal ineptitude, and the most incredible adventure of your life.. Doodle and play five goblins each (in sequence, not parallel) and watch them one by one meet hilarious ends. As you play, you’ll tell stories about goblins trying to achieve basic tasks and meeting fatal misadventure as they do it. You’ll play the goblins, and you’ll steer them through (or, more commonly, directly into) adversity, and you’ll have a fun time doing it. Will they survive the dangerous world and complete all their silly quests? Probably not. But you'll have fun finding out! Today, your Goblins will go on a Quest we'll call A Life on the Ocean Waves. Tired of the reeking claustrophobia of the Green Pits, you’ve decided to get together a greasy crew of restless adventure types and set sail for a nautical life. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to build a boat out of filthy rubbish and scrounged scrap, and all you have to sail it on is the festering swamp that borders the western wall of the Great Battle Camp. What could possibly go wrong with that plan, right? 

This game will be great if you like drawing, goblins, shenanigans, harebrained schemes, Saturday morning cartoons, and Grant Howitt's games. This system is especially great for new players. 

The game runner is very familiar with this system.

A game using the Goblin Quest rules, led by John Keefe.

Sean Bean is not an actor. Sean Bean is an inter-dimensional being forced to live many lives: as medieval heroes, devious spies, scandal-plagued ruffians, but somehow always, always dying. In the mythic land of Middle-Yorkshire, at the Nexus of Bean, Sean Beans from every reality gather for a quest - to destroy the Amulet of Binding and be free once and for all from this perpetual cycle. But Beans are relatably flawed by nature, and a new foe rises in the west, and the Band of Bastards must contend with threats from within and without if they are to prevail.

This game will be good if you're a fan of fantasy, comedy, bad accents, and the filmography of the acclaimed(ish) actor Sean Bean.

CW: Comedy violence, persistent character death, overacting, excessive use of the word "bastard"

For eons, goblinkind has marveled at spaaace - the Ceiling Lights, the Glowball, the Night Circle, and the mysterious worlds beyond. Thanks to advances in trebuchet-and-firework-based propulsion, the first ever band of Astrogobs have the chance to chart the infinite beyond. Your crew is incompetent, your "ship" is held together with rusty nails and snot, but even if you shoot for the moon, at least you'll end up among the stars (also, y'know, dead).

This game will be great if you like Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or any Saturday morning cartoon described as "<Thing> but in spaaaace!"

Characters will be built in session. Bring a comedy brain.

This game will be great for new players.

This game will be very very silly and balance role play with combat.

A game using the Goblin Quest rules, led by John Keefe.

Goblinsburg is a small town of goblins nestled in a cozy volcano. It's a miracle the place has survived, given how incompetent goblins are at, uh, everything. It's going to be a busy week - a festival, a feast, an attack by an army of """"heroes"""". It's up to you and your little clutch of gobs to choose how to spend your day, whether it's completing a personal project, preparing for doom, or just slacking off. A note of warning - goblins have an amazing habit of dying during mundane tasks. Don't expect everyone to survive.

This game will be great if you like Lord of the Rings, Loony Tunes, Animal Crossing, heavy metal and games where losing is fun.
