Featured Website: Goblin Defense Fund


Against all odds . . . we’re back.


We shall not bore you, Humble Reader and Friend of Goblins, with the trials and tribulations that the workers at the Goblin Defense Fund have suffered these past three months. Enemy agents, Dwarvish and Elven in nature, conspired against us in numerous ways, and when it became clear that we would not surrender, resorted to Biological Warfare of the nastiest sort.


We are happy to say that their efforts have failed: several magical cures and Greater Restoration spells later, we are back to full strength, and ready to carry on the fight.


Let us begin by thanking you for your brave support; at the time of this writing, over 300 loyal Friends of Goblins have stepped up to the plate and signed the petition. We’ve also collected, as expected, grotesque amounts of money in donations, and we’ll be using that money shortly to launch our advertising banner campaign, as well as commence making bribes of questionable legality aimed at Heinsoo, Wyatt, and Mearls.


We’ve also got some tasty additions for you. Since our site first launched, we’ve added


  • Talking Points for dealing with those daring to disparage the glories of Goblinhood
  • Mr. Goblin’s responses to the first wave of Ask Mr. Goblin questions
  • Official(-ish) Monster Manual errata and additions for your favorite oppressed-humanoid races
  • An investigation of the Eberron goblin. At least WoTC tried . . . right? Wrong.
  • Banners that you can easily put up at your site to bring us even more petitioners
  • Testimonials from folks brave enough to take a stand against those wishing to do goblins harm.
  • AND coming soon – profound thoughts about 4th Edition and the degree to which it may or may not suck.


We’re also looking for submissions from our loyal readers; goblin-related settings, adventure paths, or encounters are all of interest. One idea submitted to Mr. Goblin under the name “avoidingreallife” outlined a nasty-looking goblin swarm – we’d love to hear more. After all, the next best thing to playing a goblin PC is killing non-goblin PCs with goblin NPCs.

Gnolls in Dungeons & Dragons

Image
Gnoll flind Physical description In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game , gnolls greatly resemble hyenas [1] . They are usually between seven and eight feet tall, weighing around 250 to 320 pounds, [2] and use armor made of horn, metal, or leather [1] . Gnolls are generally depicted in the game world as feral nomads who kill and pillage without warning [3] . Their whole bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur which becomes shorter as it surrounds their faces and clawed hands to reveal grey colored skin. Their pelts vary from mono-colored to spotted and their eyes are either yellow or black. Subraces Within the context of the Dungeons & Dragons game, one notable subrace of gnoll is the flind (alternately spelled flynd ), which is shorter, broader, and stronger than other gnolls [4] ; flinds are often found leading a tribe or settlement of gnolls [4] . Flinds use a nunchaku -like weapon called a flindbar , which consists of a pair of metal rods linked t

Frost Giants - Heavy Support

A frost giant’s hair can be light blue or dirty yellow, and its eyes usually match its hair color. Frost giants dress in skins and pelts, along with any jewelry they own. Frost giant warriors add chain shirts and metal helmets decorated with horns or feathers. An adult male is about 15 feet tall and weighs about 2,800 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter, but otherwise identical with males. Frost giants can live to be 250 years old. Combat Frost giants usually start combat at a distance, throwing rocks until they run out of ammunition or the opponent closes, then wading in with their enormous battleaxes. A favorite tactic is to lay an ambush by hiding buried in the snow at the top of an icy or snowy slope, where opponents will have difficulty reaching them. Rock Throwing (Ex) The range increment is 120 feet for a frost giant’s thrown rocks. Frost Giant Characters Many groups of frost giants include clerics. A frost giant cleric has access to two of the following dom

ORCS: THE BAD GUYS OF J.R.R. TOLKIEN'S MIDDLE EARTH

Image
I started doing historical reenacting in 1980, and have been involved in the Middle Ages, the American Revolution, the English Civil War, Roman (very intensely since 1991), Ancient Greek, and a couple other things on the side. (See links at bottom of page for evidence.) And now I want to be an ORC! Well, not really BE one, just assemble all the clothing and gear, an "impression", as we say in reenacting. It's only fair, since Tolkien was a big part of the reason I got into reenacting in the first place. So it's kind of like coming home again! Actually, I will be doing at least two impressions for starters. The Uruk-hai were always my heroes, and I loved the ones in the movie. But they do not match Tolkien's admittedly vague descriptions in the books. So, thought I, Do both! With my usual dedication to accuracy, I am attempting to recreate an Uruk-hai based closely on the movie, and an entirely different outfit following the books . Along the
