Pathfinder Goblin Subclass: protocol

A goblin once described protocol as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names protocol in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Goblin Periphery: schizo

Goblin testimony on schizo is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe schizo with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Goblin Recursion Into conspiracy

The most recent goblin opinion piece on conspiracy concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on protocol with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
