The OG GM Presents: A Fistful of Goblins

THE WILD WEST, BUT WITH GOBLINS

Welcome to the Weird West.

The frontier is full of prospectors, outlaws, homesteaders, gunslingers, strange inventions, dangerous cryptids and goblins attempting to build a civilisation in a land where almost everything is armed.

The OG GM Presents: A Fistful of Goblins is a Weird West roleplaying game combining Western adventure with goblin magic, strange science and an alternative history shaped by the Pog Wars.

Play goblins or humans exploring the frontier, defending settlements, chasing outlaws, hunting monsters or trying to make their fortune before somebody else shoots it out of their hands.

THE WEIRD WEST

The book presents the history of its alternative frontier, including the Pog Wars and the events that created its present-day conflicts.

Its currency is the Pog: a detail that should be immediately familiar to anyone who survived the 1990s with a slammer and a poorly judged collection of cardboard discs.

The setting includes the frontier town of Fresno, Nevada, along with its inhabitants, history and surrounding dangers.
