Goblins #5 by Paul Allor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was such a fantastic idea--I really love the Pathfinder Goblins; but the stories stopped being magical and new around issue #3. They all kind of blend into one and the crazy creative mischievous nature of Goblins starts to be replaced with the kind of mundane tales. The art was not bad, the stories were not bad, but it just overall started feeling the same.

I still really like the end material--some of the best writing occurs in the character motivation sections of the bio's in the back.

Overall this was a fun exercise & I am really glad Dynamite did it, but it could have used more out of the box writing, more risks with the structure of the stories, and more over the top antics.

Fantastic end to the Arc--I really liked how the this issue closed so many of the major plot points while still moving the characters foreword.

The end material is again awesome--the character stats & magic items are just fantastic additions to this book.

A great read & likely the best D&D Comic ever.

Pile of Backpacks.

Another fun Tuesday.

Tuesday crew continues to grow--we have added Preston who has some Pokemon background & is playing very well.

Cassidy was out sick & Alexander was exhausted after GATE day.

But we had the extra table out and a full flight of 4 games going the entire time.

There was some very solid play as the kids continue to improve their decks.

they are also starting to make their own rules decisions & not relying on me as much, which is nice.

Andrew and Jack are likely the dominant players.

Muffins went fast this week.

Trades Trades Trades

Tuesday through down again this week--tons of games, skill level is really increasing, and the kids are now very interested in Trades.

The games are getting much more lopsided as some of the Team are spending a lot of time on their decks and getting much better & others are just showing up on Tuesday.
