Welcome to Goblyn Market! A role-playing game for two to six players and one Escort who will act as the game guide. The players take on the role of goblyns being sent out into a fictionalised Victorian Era city to pay off debts assigned to them by the Coterie of the Moon, the leaders of the market.

Their debts will range from tempting mortals down the path of sin, or destroying great artefacts of machinery, to manufacturing prophecies. The players must negotiate being discovered by mortal and wyrdling enemies. To make things more difficult, they must complete the tasks under both real and game time limits.

The characters aren’t completely isolated or helpless. Every round they can gain favours from the goblyn market in the form of fey items, secrets, or dice affecting magics called Fortune. They are also armed with unique spell-like abilities and animal instincts. 

How powerful the character’s abilities are is based on a scale balanced between their dual dispositions of beast and magical being. If a character indulges too far in either extreme, they are removed from the game.

It is up to the players to work together (or not) in a world steeped in curses, fairy tale creatures, and mortal morality tales to cultivate a safe haven for all of goblyn kind.

Goblyn Market uses the newly minted All4Two mechanics and the Scene Builder game play system. 

All4Two features flipping coins, even/odd dice rolls, or really anything that can be designated as a 0 or 1. Since goblyns are woefully negligent on the finer points of counting, anything that adds up to 2 or more is a success!

2= Success!
1= Blunder, success plus curse.
0= Disaster, failure plus narrative change.

The Scene Builder System is a way for the players to create the scene they are about to play in with the help of the escort. Action is driven solely by the players in an attempt to tell a shared story with common goals. For Goblyn Market an additional wrinkle is added where scene length is limited to 5 minutes of real time per player before the scene forcibly ends. Goblyns must always be on the lookout for being discovered!
