My first character ever was a goblin wizard (part of the Izzet league in the Ravnica setting). I’ve had a soft spot for goblins ever since.
EDIT: and yes my familiar was a rat how did you know -
After the horrors of 3.5e/PF1e, I just can’t go back to another Human PC. Every PC was a human, because they were the only ones who got another flexible feat slot, and there were a LOT of feat taxes.
My approach to that kind of thing was always to just use the statblock I wanted, and re-skin it to the lineage I wanted.
There’s two types of goblins — mindless gremlins who want nothing more than to gut you like a fish, and halflings with green skin.
I’ve actually never played a goblin. Although I might, if my one player follows through on his threat to run Pathfinder 2–I already have a Goblin Paladin of Calistria statted up.
I wish any of my players would make art of my game, but no one has really bothered in my DM career :(
Drawing art of my campaigns was how I actually got into drawing - it’s never too late to start.
That’s true! I am actually starting like that, since shitty drawings are better than nothing here!
I found DnD was a phenomenal vehicle for learning to draw. In the early days when you start drawing, the most important things to progress are (in approximate order of importance)
- To draw a lot.
- To draw regularly.
- To spend time looking at art you like, to study it - so you can try and work on making your art more like it.
- To have friends look at your work and give you constructive feedback.
One of the hardest things with drawing a lot, and regularly, is having inspiration for material for “things to draw” - and DnD provides this in spades - regular new events that make for dynamic imagery that you can try to capture week-on-week… as well as a group of invested friends who want to look at your art.
When I started playing 4e, I started drawing pictures of the characters each week, and we went from this:
To this, in about a year:
This is the most effort someone has bothered to put in to show me something in a long, long time. Thank you. I’ll do my best.
I play a human 7 days a week, almost every hour of the day and night, except when I play dnd. I like to be someone that isn’t like me from time to time :)
But I like silly creeture
My inner munchkin doesn’t like playing humans much. If they had +2 all stats instead of +1, or a useful racial power (all healing received is maximized), maybe.
I guess there’s variant human for the feat if your table allows it.

Time for Kobold PCs to show their… quality.
Not gonna lie, I’m a little sad I can’t play a kobold paladin in BGIII.
He can kick ass though. Especially when threatened with Shion’s cooking.
