''Goblin Quest'' is a rules-light, optionally GM-less comedy RPG written by Grant Howitt. 

Players take on the role of groups of [[Goblin|goblins]] trying to accomplish a simple task as a team, with d6 results contributing to lowering a difficulty score, and additional complications being added further down the line. The term "groups" is used here because inevitably, the goblin a player is currently controlling is going to succumb to its naturally bad luck and die in some capacity, necessitating a replacement to take their place. As such, the game's appeal lies in both its simplicity and the various ways a seemingly simple task can escalate into something insurmountable and herculean.

==Rule Hacks==
Naturally, given the simplistic nature of the rules, the book includes a number of rule hacks:

* ''Kobold Quest'': Same basic idea as vanilla Goblin Quest, with the specific stipulation of groups of [[Kobold|kobolds]] building a complicated contraption to accomplish their goals.
* ''My Name is Inigo Montoya Jr.'': Action-oriented setting about pulp heroes (ideally swordfighters) seeking revenge.
* ''Sean Bean Quest'': Players play several occurrences of the oft-killed dimensional entity we know as Sean Bean, all trying to end their curse of being constantly killed everywhere and finally die on their own terms.
* ''The Cthulhu Files'': Non-comedic setting which applies the same basic "investigate/discover/go insane" structure of [[Call of Cthulhu]] to Goblin Quest's rules, playing off of the idea of inevitable failure. Requires a GM.
* ''Neither Super Nor Heroic'': Modern day setting where players play a group of either dangerous and/or incompetent superheroes. Requires a GM.
* ''Space Interns'': Players take on the role of [[Star Trek|Redshirts]]. Requires a GM.
