What is Goblin Green?

Good question.

A good friend once said to me, "You do too much." She wasn't wrong.

Goblin Green is a place to bring together all the various tabletop projects I'm either working on or wish to bring to life. A label if you will. Or worst still, a brand.

Why Goblin Green though?

Back in the 90s, when I first got into Warhammer as an 11 year old, it was standard practice to paint the bases of the models in Citadel's Goblin Green paint*. A practice that fell by the wayside as "tacky" but eventually came back round as symbolic of something nostalgic. I'm not the first and I won't be the last to seize upon that symbolism, filled with that sentiment and all those stories, as an attempt to recapture those feelings of exploring those tabletop game worlds. I'm just the one who spent £16 to buy the domain name.

So what to expect of Goblin Green?

There will also be assorted blogs, reviews and development diaries throughout the year on the games I plan to play, design and produce.

So, off we go.

*Games Workshop doesn't produce this paint any more and to the best of my knowledge, no one can own the concept of Goblins or Green, with no less than 4 paint companies producing their own version of the Goblin Green colour today.
