We've reimagined goblins for the setting. In the early days of tabletop gaming, goblins were evil, primitive, and dull-witted. There's a lot more fun and narrative potential in portraying them as clever and mischievous—but that's still a rather narrow stereotype. Author Of Gods and Gamemasters has struck a balance between bringing you goblinish shenanigans and broaden the range of goblins to make them believable cultures in the world.

As has been said elsewhere, this language is an active crime scene. 😅

English adjectives generally follow a specific sequence: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, and purpose.

For native speakers, changing the order sounds really wrong. For non-native speakers, this must be a pain to remember.

A simple example is “big bad wolf.” If we say “bad big wolf,” it sounds very off.
