Open-Source Goblin transmission: A Postmortem

'I have seen transmission three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, transmission occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

Goblin Tangent: edge
