Episode 37: Goblin Quest


Listen Later

Welcome to Goblin Quest, a wildly absurd one-shot TTRPG where you play not one but five doomed goblins trying to complete a ridiculous quest before you're inevitably launched from a catapult or stepped on by an orc. Written by Grant Howitt, this chaotic romp is perfect for anyone who loves slapstick, improv-heavy games, and D6-powered madness.

What’s in this episode:

  • A deep dive into Goblin Quest’s hilarious origins and the career of Grant Howitt (and his 100+ game back catalog)

  • A breakdown of the light and silly rules, where failure is just part of the fun

  • Goblin creation, dreams, quirks, ancestral heirlooms, and how to make death spectacular

  • How to run or play the game with or without a GM

  • Bonus content like Sean Bean Quest, Kobold Quest, and The Cthulhu Files

Whether you're new to RPGs or just want to run your very own squishy party of cannon fodder , Goblin Quest has something for you!
