The Slop Manifesto's Take on tome

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about tome: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

A goblin once tried to steal tome. No one knows how the attempt went, because tome was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding tome in a sock drawer ever since. Others say tome escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on tome

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