Welcome to Goblin of the Week, where the concept is so sinple even Goblin players will get it. Every week, we pick one Goblin. That Goblin is Goblin of the Week. That's it. We are also aware there’s a typo in the first sentence but we don’t fixing typos for Goblin of the Week either which is a new rule we just invtented.

You may be wondering how we pick the illustrious Goblin of the Week? You're assuming we've thought that far ahead. And thinking is for Blue.

Sometimes I worry that people aren’t on board with the spirit of Goblin of the Week. Then I have conversations like the below:

for consideration on goblin of the week

love this guy

fuck the rules text i haven't read it still

It’s poetry. It’s haiku (I didn’t count the syllables). It was almost the entire article. Anyway, this Goblin of the Week is Courageous Goblin.

And how could you not love this one? We’ve previously touched on how Goblins are callous, dispensible, greedy, and violent. But Goblins are also huge cowards. And societal creatures. 

Shout out to Ben Wootten for perfectly capturing the battle-tested Goblin fighting technique of standing behind something bigger than you with a long pointy stick.
