Durch einen anderen Thread bin ich auf die Idee für eine Goblin-Campaign gestossen.
Zumindest bis zum Paragon-Tier wohl nur mit Nachbarn (Kobolde, Orcs, Gnolle) und Dorfbewohnern prügeln,
dann wohl n bischen Underdark und dann vielleicht Elemental Chaos...
Aber erstmal das nötige Rüstzeug!
Eine interessante Idee wäre alle Charaktere zu Barghests zu machen - das würde sie irgendwie verbinden und auch gegenüber den anderen Goblins "hervorheben".
Barghests sind in 4e einfach Goblin-Gestaltwandler. Kommt zufällig bei Bugbears, Goblins und Hobgoblins vor und gilt als Segen von Bane.
Norker sind Goblins die (zu lang) im Elemental Chaos waren und dort verändert wurden. Sie sind unglaublich zäh und sehr gefährlich, aber nicht besonders klug oder neugierig; sie sind aus dem Abenteuer H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth.
Von den Klassen her passen alle Martial und Primal, Sorcerer und Warlock auch, von den Divine aber imho nur der Cleric und der Runepriest. Paladin von Bane?!? Hm...

Ich brauche noch einen fiesen Obermotz für den Stamm,
der zu Anfang der 'Bully' ist, dann aber zum Paragon-Tier hin überwunden wird.
Eine verlassene Karawanserei, mit Hobgoblin-Häuptling der sich lieber 'General' nennen lässt...
Ist erstmal alles so zusammengeschustert,
braucht sicher noch fine-tuning.
Die Powers muss ich noch mal besser formatieren...
Aber vielleicht ist es auch für einen von euch einen nette Anregung.
P.S.:
Man kann auch mal die SCs als Goblinoide nachbauen und sich begegnen lassen...
Order of the Stick lässt grüssen... ;)
