Horrid Little Goblins

A ten-page tabletop RPG where you are, you know, like it says.

---

There is, in this fantastical world, a city.  It’s a great city, but as all cities, filled with troubles.  To hear most of the residents tell it, chief among their problems is the warren beneath their streets, filled will all manner of violent, horrible, filthy little mad goblins, who need to be driven out, poisoned, captured, just dealt with somehow.

You are those goblins.  You live in that warren, under that city.  

You are, to be specific, madcaps.  That’s a profession; the warren, your home, has candlecaps that make light, rootcaps that dig, gogglecaps that scout and observe, and so on; everyone’s got their cap. Madcaps go to the surface, and interact with the bigjobs that live up there – stealing from them, stopping their various attempts to attack the warren, and messing about with their tinkerbit devices.

Madcaps are important, and not just for what they haul in or stop from coming at the warren.  It’s stories about madcap escapades that get told over and over.  The most renowned are comic trickster-heroes, biting and scrapping and shaking their bare bottoms at those who would stomp out goblindom, falling down and getting filthy, out-talking idiots, taking beatings, and getting back up for another go.

So.  That’s the world, and your place in it, and what you’re up to.

This is a "Draft I slapped together in a single extended rush" game.  There might be further versions, or not, it might work great, or not, it might get playtested, or not, don't look at me, I don't know. It's damn cool, though, I tell you what.
