We Be Goblins Variable Players - DotQ

1 We Be Goblins : Variable Players ModWWee BBee GGoobblliinnss!!"We Be Goblins !" is a one-shot module for the Pathfinder RoleplayingGame. It was written by Richard Pett and released for free by Paizo onFree RPG Day, 2011. You can acquire it on Paizo's web store for free(PDF) or $5 (print). Just search for "we be Goblins " it'll bethe first run the module a few times for more than the recommendedfour Players , I present below my modifications to the adventure. Ifyou're looking to run WBG for five, six, or seven Players , the followingshould maintain the same level of challenge and fun. Obviously, inorder to write up these changes in a coherent manner, I've had tomake use of Paizo intellectual property, most notably the names ofcharacters from the module.

2 Sorry, Paizo!-FlakTHIS DOCUMENT IS NOT FOR SALE, AND DOES NOT IMPINGEUPON THE MARKET VIABILITY OF PAIZO'S FREE PATHFINDERMODULE, "WE BE Goblins !". ITS SOLE PURPOSE IS TO EXPAND THEEXPERIENCE FOR MORE THAN FOUR hh ee MM ee aa tt : : VV aa rr i i aa bb ll ee PP ll aa yy ee rr ssAs you increase the player count from four, adjustments are in orderto maintain challenge. I calculated the XP each player would receive iffour Players complete the original module: 617 XP. So for each extraplayer, I'm adding approximately 600 XP of challenge over the courseof the adventure. On each following page, you'll find the incrementalchanges for 5-7 Players .

3 For now, I'm not going to mess withtreasure. It's a one-shot, and loot matters a lot less as a result. Ifyou're going to run this as an adventure in a campaign, however, thisinfo might be useful for you. In the original module, each playerreceives roughly 1,044 gp worth of loot over the course of theadventure, assuming the PCs find all the treasure. For each extraplayer, then, you should add around 1,000 gp of o o n n u u s s : : WW h h e e r r e e ' ' s s S S c c r r i i b b b b l l e e f f a a c c e e ?

4 ?This has nothing to do with the number of Players , but is a simpleadditional mod that can be used to add a tiny bit of cohesion. Everwonder where Scribbleface went? How did he procure fireworks fromVorka's home and emerge unscathed? A simple answer would be thathe was in cahoots with her, feeding her his tribemates in exchange forfireworks. It's safe to assume that he would have fled back to hershipwreck upon being exiled from the Licktoad village, whereuponshe decided he was no longer useful and consumed him. You couldhave his head hanging in the galley (where Cuddles is), or if theplayers investigate the bloody burlap sack in said room they coulddiscover Scribbleface's corpse.
