Goblin NPC Update: frequency

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that frequency is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting frequency. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on frequency is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
