I was just wondering if anyone has run an all (or mostly)Goblinoid PC party? Either with the Characters from the Hellcow or otherwise. I am just looking to see what you all tried, what you thought worked, what didn't. Right now, my players are all gone, all I have to do now is think about things I could do and this has always been in the back of my mind as something that would be fun. Anyway, drop me a post, I am curious.

I haven't personally run a goblinoid campaign, but I can certainly understand the appeal. They could be from the Cogs of Sharn; working their way up through society. They could be from Droaam; rogue mercenaries who hire themselves out to the various monstrous factions found there. They could be living in X'endrik; hiring themselves out as guides to explorers seeking the treasures of the giant continent. Or, they could be pirates from the Lhaazar Principalities; preying on the ships of the air and sea.

Honestly, the potential for a goblinoid campaign is unbelievable. If you decide to do one, let us know how it goes.

I very much want to play one, but cannot find a group in my area. :( Wyoming is kinda sparse population-wise. I also have interesting ideas for characters of other monstrous races, that I'd like to play. I even have quirky background stories for any of them as well. Two ideas I'd love to play as characters-->

1. Goblin - Wizard and/or Ninja multi-class.
2. Gnoll - ??? I'd first want ot play through his monster levels (a.k.a. puberty) to see how things will develop. I would then choose his class based on his experiences.

Before a former friend and fellow gamer "stabbed me in the back", as the saying goes, I had a Hobgoblin student of Morgrave with arcane interests, but never got far enough to do much. I was going to multi-class him as a Wz/SwB, but he like many other characters got stuck in "the game can't get together anymore Limbo" that so often happens.

Wish at least one of the players in my group would consider a goblinoid.. maybe if I dropped the LA of Hobgoblin from 1 to 0.. eh.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. In fact, was thinking to just get rid of the +1LA for the Blue, Bugbear(but keep HD) and the Hobgoblin. I usually run harder that average encounters so the adjustments don't really feel like they need to be there. And that way I think players might actually choose a goblinoid other that Goblin.

Hey all,

While I don't run a goblinoid campaign, I love all things goblin in Eberron.

My PBEM is currently heading towards the Khraal Rainforest; see signature webpage.

I play a hobgoblin 'war-priest' in the Shadow of a Flame PBEM (http://www.chsbs.cmich.edu/resume_study/eberron/shadow_of_flame.html).

I also have a link to lots of goblinoid resources (adventure primers and other goodies) at the botom of my signature page. The campaign is called Dhakaan Rising.

Enjoy!

L8r,
