"We tried to make an omelette. Seventeen goblins died." Goblin Quest - the game of fatal incompetence - a GMless comedy one-shot romp where each player controls five goblins (in sequence, not in parallel) who attempt to achieve a basic task. But, goblins being as unlucky and stupid as they are, even simple actions have a chance to immediately, violently, permanently wrong. To play, you'll need a handful of six-sided dice, some pens and pencils, and two hours to spare.
