Goblin lives matter and Goblins must prevail, and today we will be looking at ways to creatively use them in our combat encounters.

Villages are not the most exciting places in DnD. Most of the time, a village is a place for your players that just started the campaign or in the long run, a stop to rest up between adventures that lead the players to Dungeons or other Quest Locations.
