Cursed Goblin Hunter

Concept: “Outraged by your impending doom, you have sworn to hunt and kill goblins wherever they may be found.”
Content:
A class that accumulates goblin-related features and physical attributes; also includes a personal countdown mechanic for conversion or reversion
Writing:
Fairly straightforward with a grimly witty edge
Art/design:
Relatively conservative with a retro/OSR feel; some subtle work in the illustration visually reinforces the concept

Art/design:
Text heavy, but uses color to organize sections and highlight important information
Usability:
As a composite character, poses certain risks but also provides particular benefits

Enter the DOME-icile

Art/design: Striking visual depictions of the Dome-icile, with chaotic design elements consistent with the Arch Wizard’s Goblin Workforce.

Sets the tone and provides entertaining depth

A race against the goblin curse and an album of your choice
