[QUOTE="shadow, post: 188285, member: 2182"] A while back when looking threw all those old Magic Cards I have left over from my Magic days, I came across an interesting idea for an adventure. There was a card (from the Fallen Empires set) called gobling grenade. The illustration on the card depicts a goblin laden with explosives jumping into battle. This sparked an idea for an adventure. Now flash forward to my current homebrew world. The PCs are opposing the fanatical goblin empire. I thought it would be a great hook to have gobling fanatics blow themselves up to inflict massive damage on the PC's and their allies. This could make goblins scary again and allow for some interesting momements (any goblin could be a potential bomber.) The problem in running goblins is that after the PC get on a higher level, goblins are no longer a challenge, except in huge numbers. Even then, the PC's no longer fear them. Although I had planned to introduce the goblin "suicide bomber" concept for a long time, I am not sure if it's still appropriate given the situation in the middle east. I'm afraid that the players will criticize me for trivializing the murder of the Jewish citizens of Israel. The reality is that I've had this idea lingering in the back of my mind since before the current suicide/murder bombings in Israel. However, I'm not sure that introducing this current campaign hook would be in good taste at the moment. [/QUOTE]
