A series of somewhat silly shorts about the mascots of Pathfinder that everyone loves (to hate).Plenty of Goblin Song and "heroics" to go around.
Some great story ideas, but did not care for the two-per issue format
Nasty goblinses gets their own comic. Much fun, killing and maiming.
Very fun comics with a creepy undertone special to goblins. The bonus materials section was also excellent.
Chuckled a bit. Fun read. :)
I liked it. It's a collection of stories by multiple writers and artists, so the quality varies and I think book as a whole is only a little better than average. But, goblins are fun. There's a lot of potential to play with and I don't think this book exhausted it.
Goblins is an anthology of adventures following various stories about various psychopathic Goblins and the adventures and misadventures they get into! :D The book is a fun-filled from start to finish with it reversing the standard adventuring troupes at every turn as illustrated by the first story when an adventuring part staggers out a dungeon and is promptly overrun and eaten! :D The stories all do spins on this from Goblin swindling to outright slaughtering their opposition on the way to the
I really thought this would probably be crap, but I ended up liking it a lot. I don't think anyone's done more to flesh out goblin culture than Paizo; they took an old tired standard and made them fun again. Everyone of these stories could be made into an adventure or at least a cool NPC or encounter and then as a bonus they have some other ideas in the back along with new magic items and some of the characters stat'd up for use.
A couple four star stories by Zub, Soule and Mona, a few three star stories and several two star stories averages out to three stars. Anthologies are always hit and miss, this one is no exception, but it's a fun introduction to Pathfinder's distinctive and entertaining goblins with solid production values.
A collection of the 5 limited edition "Pathfinder - Goblins" series. As with all of the Dynamite Comics Pathfinder collections this one includes extra art, NPC's, and additional items for use in the Paizo Pathfinder RPG.
The good thing about this one: the smaller stories.. Luckily some of them were good, but most of them I didn't like :(The artwork also varied of course, but some of them were amazing! Definitely the story about Muttonchomp... Go check that one out ;)After a while I started reading them in one voice, the way their language it was written: Gollum! Not the best Goblins comic (That, for me, remains Goblins by Tarol Hunt ;)), but it was amiable.
Not as wild for this one. This book contains 10 0.5-shot stories, but in comparison to the other Pathfinder comics, this wouldn't be that directly adaptable into RPG sessions. The art is generally solid and the stories range from meh to pretty interesting (especially the story on "domesticated" goblins which would make a decent character backstory), but it just doesn't provide the same value proposition as other books in the series.
Oh my gosh! This volume is a collection of stories about evil, stupid, merciless, stupid, backstabbing, stupid, horrible, awful stupid goblins. And I loved it! (I shudder to think what that says about me!) We learn what motivates goblins (Shiver), what they take pleasure in (Gulp), even what they like to eat (Worst nightmare time). Yet throughout it all, I laughed constantly!This collection of mayhem was written by Jim Zub, Adam Warren, Erik Mona, Charles Soule, James L. Sutter, Ron Marz, Ray Fa...
Special collection of tales of the dregs of the Pathfinder world, the Goblins. Some good twisted tales, with some good gaming options (perhaps with beer involved) with a lot of extras. Liked the Magic Eye, Muttonchomp, and Chief Am tales. Check it out.
The goblin has become an unofficial mascot for Pathfinder, and these madcap stories do an okay job of exemplifying why. Paizo presents these green buggers as ugly/cute, loveable/sadistic little bastards, and they're infused with personality that's a notable step above the canon fodder status that goblins are usually relegated to in kitchen sink fantasy settings. That said, the majority of these tales are fairly short, focused on slapstick hijinks and read like the backup stories in a longer comi...
I was excited for this as I generally like goblins as main characters but I felt the short story aspect didn't play well in the GN format and imagine it would have played worse in the single comic format. While some of the stories were amusing some of them seemed to step outside of the Pathfinder goblin mythos. With differing authors every 25 pages or so a rhythm never really develops and the reader is left sort of cold for consistency.
If you play Pathfinder this is worth reading. I got a chuckle or two out of it.
Hysterical insight into goblin lives and storytelling.
