The Goblin
A story roleplaying game about dark nobility in a mythic land, where thirteen goblin tribes gather to elect a leader. Each player portrays a goblin who believes they deserve the throne, while the Fates determine the outcome of the contest. Players act as both directors and characters, framing vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensemble scenes to tell a dramatic story about characters in crisis. The game requires no preparation, supports three or more players, and uses a deck of poker cards and tokens to track drama points.
