To celebrate our return to Bluesky, have an old meme of ours!

What kind of goblin* is your current #TTRPG character?

*need not be an actual goblin to participate
A series of colored circles appears on a grey background. The words "Goblin Mode by Rainbow Roll Network" appear in black text at the center top of the meme. There is white text in the middle of each circle labeling them by color. Black text beneath each circle denotes the kind of goblin characteristics associated with each color circle. The full list of alt text for the circles is included in the tweet thread. Red = Buff Goblin carries a huge sword muscles for days first around the fire for s'mores Orange = Business Goblin carries a briefcase has backup plans for backup plans first to wake up in the morning Yellow = Chaos Goblin carries chalk and a smokebomb unpredictable and likes it first to try anything new Green = No-Nonsense Gobling carries supplies always has a feeling, always right first in line to talk to NPCs Blue = Parent Friend Goblin carries party members knows 80 different soup recipes first to notice something going wrong Brown = Bookworm Goblin carries their TBR list always knows the important lore first to the library eal = Cool Goblin carries nothing can intimdate anyone first to get in trouble (and out of it) Purple = Fancy Goblin carries a teacup holster knows all the nobles' gossip first to get an invitation to the masquerade ball Pink = Elle Woods Goblin carries a smol familiar knows the rules and how to break them first to the tailor in any new town Black = Cozy Goblin carries a snuggie can make a fire anywhere first to suggest a group cuddle
