It is sweet (:
I feel like Minmax's player is, obviously, some powergamer...  Who keeps getting surprisingly invested into the characters and situations the DM describes. 
I can relate to that to some extent.  My friends and I joined a DND group expecting hack&slash and charop.  It'd be like we were playing Diablo, but with a GM.  And we did optimize our characters a lot...  and we did a lot of lolrandom murderhobo things...  But when we pursued the main quests, we kept encountering these surprisingly impactful situations.  Even a year later, I remember and (mostly) regret some of the choices we made.

Whereas Forgath's player went in expecting more serious roleplay, and the DM is catering to that at the same time.  Particularly with that long-haul prophecy thing, and whatever Forgath's relation to Kor is.  Cool stuff.

I wonder why Big Ear's axe didn't cut through the vines last page.  I'd say it's because Fumbles is 1/12 a paladin or whatever, but that doesn't really match what happened with Kor and the rope.

Another update... huh.
Fumbles, you're supposed to let your cohort do that!  Or better yet, a follower (hireling best of all).

Clearly, this is the dungeon of XP for back stories.

And as I learned from a miss-tell on Steam... Update!
And a damn good one!

Update!  http://www.goblinscomic.org/12032015-2/
Also, update after that :P

Not much to say, except this reminds me of the "discount" reincarnation scrolls our GM was awesome enough to let us find.  My gnome literally became a goblin eventually.

Update. Also, blog post.

Tl;dr: "Goblins is about bigotry and how lame it is." "[There are other issues.] These sorts of issues are very important to a lot of folks and I get that. It’s just that these issues aren’t here in these pages of the comic."

Discuss~

wha...?
It's nearly 4AM and I'm sleepy as hell but...
Big ears is gay?  Chief is a virgin?  I guess I remember scenes where those things were kinda hinted at, but not really spelled out...  huh
Maybe I glossed over an update
I thought Big Ears was just good friends with the goblin who got magic-missiled...
and who the hell is Salt, I need to reread the last dozen updates I think

I mean, when I think Goblins and controversy all I think of is the male adventurer's sex-curse.  Since that's generally a creepy thing for a GM to introduce to players.  Possibly especially since the dwarf's player is female and the GM is male, though it'd be creepy *anyway*.  Unless you establish beforehand that such things will be in the game.  It's possible to handle such things maturely and without the game focusing on them, it's just unusual.

I'm rambling
