I hope they are NOT planning huge changes to the classic Ocarina dungeons in the Zelda remake. Please just give me my linear dungeons. Keys, doors, and backflip sword slashes are all I need to keep the demons at bay. #zelda

"You know, we asked ourselves whether those mazes, where everything is always linked in a linear fashion, are actually still interesting to players," Miyamoto said. "Is it still fun to spend all that time plotting your way through them? And the conclusion we came to is no, it's not really that much fun. Instead of mapping your way through a maze, I think what's more important is a sense of dread, a sense of pressure, and of course an opportunity for finding secrets and solving puzzles – we should be pursuing an emotional immediacy, the sense that you are really there."

Okay, learning how to run hex crawls with goblins. I love how it shows the players path. #ttrpg #rpgdesign #osr A dragon blighted forest with cultists, baba yaga, and centaurs. They are trying to reach the top, but get sidetracked by a river of lava. One of the goblins was polymorphed into a pie.

This game is played with a deck of playing cards, the jokers are removed. The objective of Time Travel Sales Agent is to mix & match cards with the available travel package tickets to successfully send the caller to their perfect Tempo Destination.

You want to get the highest points by getting the best matches during the round.

Matching the COLOUR (red or black) of the card above is 1 point. Red is hearts and diamonds, Black is club and spades.

Kany uses the crystal shard to absorb lightning into an elven spear

- The goblins dive down on the ziggurat riding hippogryphs, Kany lands on the bottom steps and ascends with Smak, Mr.boss, and Pek. Fad and Tigra hold back attacks below.

- Zurrf finds Veshel attached to a large skeletal vessel shaped like a ship/ vulture. An undead shaman draining the elf's lifeforce.

- Kany, fad, and smak climb the stairs getting into skirmishes with guards, ranged combat.

- The wolf general slowly breaks through the defences and challenges Kany at the top, at the mouth of the temple of the beheader. Fad and Zurrf working together to channel the fire whips damage. Smak getting creative and using his animal minions. The general uses her shield to fling Kany in the air to smash into Smak, but leaves herself open to a Kany counter-attack.

- Kany lands the final blow on the general that championed him when he slayed the white gorilla warrior.

- The ritual completes, as Veshel's life force fades, the ship comes to life and takes flight with large skeletal wings. It moves to the Southeast, towards the Red Keep.

Have some hex rules, you scurvy dogs. A page from the goblin ttrpg. Using some OSR hexcrawl vibes. We've mostly montaged or point-crawled travel, but now it gets juicy.

Hex-crawling
Each hex has a biome and an event. Biomes are large areas of land, similar to a tile. They quickly tell the GM the type of land the goblins are traversing. Some examples are swamp, grassland, mountain, or cave. When the goblins are ready to leave the castle for their first mission, they will need to navigate the dangerous wilds.

When the goblins enter a new hex:

The GM rolls 1d6 for an Event:

1-2. A wild encounter or setback.

3-4. An encampment.

5-6. Nothing.

Wild encounter is a wandering beast or NPC. A Setback is difficult weather or terrain.

An Encampment is a gathering of NPCs.

The GM rolls 1d6 for how far away the event is:

1-2. Close, 1 round away

3-4. Nearby, 2 rounds away

5-6. far away, 3 or more rounds away
Fleeing
When goblins need to leave a hex quickly, they make a Sneak check. On a 6, they are hidden.

Forced march
Goblin can choose to ignore a hex for the cost of 1 Food. Without food, the goblins become fatigued and they roll all checks with -1d until they rest or eat.

Forage
The goblins stay in a hex to gather food. They make a PEEK or CRAFT check. On a 6, they find 1 Food. On a critical success, they find 2.

Resting at camp
The goblins stay in a hex to recover 1d3 hit points and treat fatigue. The day changes to night, or vice versa. The GM makes a Luck roll to see if a wild creature or bad weather disturbs them.

Scout ahead
The goblins stay in a hex to reveal 3 nearby tiles or they gain adv for their next Skill or Save check when entering the next hex.

Every 1d3 road tiles, the goblins see:
A bandit or charlatan,A sage, A travellers, A bard, An imperial guard, A merchant's caravan or noble carriage

Rumours can be lead to treasure, new locations, and lethal traps. When an NPC is revealing information or clues, the Game-master rolls a 1d6 to determine how the info is presented.

To read if an NPC is lying, a goblin rolls a SWINDLE or a PEEK check. On a 6, the goblin learns if the rumour is completely false or not.

Drew Makes sea monster games @drew-makes-games.itch.io · 26/02/2026

Need a mini dungeon to trap your players? Make a shifting wall trap! The Jar of shifting sands turns any room into a labyrinth. It matches the aesthetic of the room it is activated in; a library, a cave, or temple. Do the adventurers run for the exit or take the jar for themselves?

A piece of paper with two different paths of a dungeon. A yellow line is drawing to create a through line. The paper is cut into 6 squares, but stopping before the middle.

You can then fold the sections to change which path the players can travel every turn.

Oh my goodness. Social rules draft is "finished". Basically social combat for goblins. Rules and examples of play. Here are some pieces to show what I'm going for. Hopefully that's the hardest piece of this ttrpg done.

Persuasion rules including reaction rolls to determine NPC mood and approach. How you treat NPCs changes how they respond back and custom reaction rolls based on friend or foe.

Bribery
To bribe an NPC, the goblins make an offer of gold or gifts, the goblins can learn more about what a creature wants through conversation. On a success, the goblins can roll Response die twice and take the best outcome. To determine the value of a bribe, take the most valuable item a goblin has and roll a 1d6.

1-2 Greater value than the item
3-4 Equal value to the item
5-6 Lower value than the item

NEGOTIATIONS
Negotiations are used when the goblins have a request for an NPC needs EXTRA convincing because the NPC is stubborn, could get in trouble, or unsure if they want to help.

The goblins have 1 round to plead their case to the NPC. Each goblin has a turn to use persuasion, talking, or actions to gain enough successes to sway the creature.

The difficulty of the check is based on the creatures Morale or the GM can choose the difficulty.

Morale 50% = Half of the goblins must succeed
Morale 25% = Most goblins need to succeed
Morale 10% = All goblins need to succeed

The GM should NOT reveal the answer until all goblins have had their turn. On a success, the creature is convinced.

I'm taking on grappling rules today. Key points. - Triggers off agility, but strength for next turn actions - Grappling is a 2 round action, but adds versatility (IMHO) to deal dmg, reduce a target's mvment, reduce their skills, silence, and knock a MFer out. Like it or hate it #ttrpg #osr ?

GRAPPLE is using an action to grab a creature and hold on tight using a SCRAM check. While grappling, a goblin can use their movement to climb a creature’s body. This is helpful for scaling giants and large beasts. If a creature tries to escape or shake free, the goblin requires a TOUGH save.

At the start of the goblin’s next turn, they can hold the grapple to do one of the following actions:

HARM deals 2 dmg.

RESTRAIN a small or medium creature to reduce their movement to 0 using a STRENGTH check.

HINDER reduces a creature’s Skills and saves by 1.

SILENCE a creature using a STRENGTH check to stop them from speaking, triggering an alarm, or casting spells.

SLEEP is knocking a creature unconscious using a STRENGTH check. The check is easy if the creature is demoralized.

The full rulebook for The Goblinhood is coming together for #wipwednesday. A few more pages to complete.

HOW TO PLAY - COULD I EXPLAIN THIS TO MY KIDS?

The Goblinhood requires three to five friends sitting around the table, each equipped with a handful of six sided dice. One person takes on the role of the Game-master, GM for short. Their job is control the world, while everyone else plays as goblins trying to destroy that world in exchange for gold and glory for the goblin throne.

The game starts with the Game-master describing where in the world the goblins are, this is called setting up the scene. It is helpful to have a map of the area to help the players visualize their surrounding easier, but it is not mandatory to play. The players then decide which goblin will act first. Each goblin will have a turn to do something, called an action, and move themselves around the map. An action should be declared with simple language, so the GM can quickly decide how easy the action is to complete.

“I want to attack the dragon with my frying pan.”
“I want to climb the cliffs of a thousand screams”
“I want to grab the gold idol from the pedestal and run far away”

In this game of make-believe, an action is a combination of improvising the situation and what the goblins have nearby. The game is a back and forth between the Game-master and the players, each side reacting to the other to create an ever changing story. The sum of these stories is called a campaign.
