Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horacio" data-source="post: 9784818" data-attributes="member: 82">Hello everyone!It’s been a while since I last posted here... and in the meantime, something new has taken shape: Korrigan Press.What is Korrigan Press?Korrigan Press is my small independent publishing label — a one-person adventure born from years of scribbled notes and late-night RPG sessions. The name comes from the korrigans of Breton folklore: clever, unpredictable fae known for their curiosity and strength despite their size. That spirit — a mix of wonder, craftsmanship, and playfulness — is what I want to bring to everything I publish.The goal of Korrigan Press is simple: to create tabletop role-playing and wargaming content that’s fun, imaginative, and accessible. The first big RPG project is Perseverance, a space-western genre pack for the QuestWorlds system — think Firefly meets Deadwood on a dusty frontier planet. But before diving into big books, I decided to start small… literally!Why Paper Minis?The first Korrigan Press releases are printable paper miniatures. The idea started as something very personal: I wanted to introduce my kids to miniature gaming without the cost, paint, and frustration of plastic minis. So we began printing and cutting our own paper figures — quick to make, easy to play with, and perfect for fast skirmishes. When my daughter asked for a goblin warband led by a fierce female chief and I couldn’t find anything that fit, I started drawing them myself. Here you have an example of the printable minis:<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/1-spear-guard-mini.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />And as October was arriving, I foolishly decided to try my own version of Inktober: Goblintober! What is Goblintober?Goblintober is an self-imposed creative challenge: 31 days, 31 brand-new goblin paper minis, all designed, inked, and colored during the month of October.Each day brings a new goblin to the warband — from spear guards and slingers to shamans and berserkers — until, by the end of the month, we have a complete Goblintober Warband Set. Every miniature is printable, cut-ready, and usable for RPGs, skirmish games, or any paper-based tabletop system.I’m posting daily progress on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lostinbrittany/" target="_blank">@lostinbrittany</a> And once the challenge is over, all 31 goblins will be collected into one big printable set, available as a free (or pay-what-you-want) download from Korrigan Press.Here you have Goblins done until yesterday.Day 1: The Spear-GuardThe Spear-Guard may hold the line for this foundational warband member designed to maintain defensive positions. Spear and shield at the ready, this is the first line of goblin defense.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/1-spear-guard-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 2: The GruntThe Spear-Guard may hold the line, but every warband needs some muscle—or at least, some willing meat shields!Meet The Grunt, your standard, sword-wielding, slightly disgruntled goblin footsoldier. He’s the backbone (and probably the first casualty) of the warband.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/2-grunt-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 3: The ArcherLook who's back! Today's draw is The Archer. We saw an early version of this sharpshooter (well, goblin sharp, anyway) when I was first sketching out the warband, but he's officially inking his spot on the roster now.Gotta keep those front-line Grunts covered!<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/3-archer-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 4: The ScoutEvery warband needs eyes on the horizon — and feet that move faster than the rest. Meet The Scout, light on gear, lighter on patience, and always three steps ahead (or hiding behind a rock).While the Grunts march and the Archers aim, the Scout sneaks, spies, and occasionally “finds” treasure that definitely wasn’t there a minute ago.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/4-scout-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 5: The DuelistYou might recognize this fierce goblin as she was the very first member of the warband I revealed a while back. Now she officially claims her spot as The Duelist, blades drawn and ready for any challenger brave (or foolish) enough to face her one-on-one.Fast, fearless, and twice as stabby, she lives for the thrill of close combat... and the bragging rights that come with it.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/5-duelist-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 6: The HornblowerEvery warband needs someone loud enough to turn a skirmish into a spectacle... and that’s where the Hornblower comes in.Armed with a battered horn and a drum slung on his back, he keeps the rhythm of battle (and occasionally startles his own troops). Subtlety isn’t his strong suit, but volume definitely is.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/6-hornblower-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 7: The SlingerRanged weapons aren’t just for fancy archers, some goblins prefer the classic approach: a sling, a stone, and a wicked grin.Meet The Slinger, quick on his feet and deadly accurate (well, mostly). He’s the kind of goblin who can turn a handful of pebbles into a real problem for anyone on the other side of the battlefield.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/7-slinger-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 8: The Halberd-BearerYeah, I know, the prompt said Pike-Bearer. But let’s be honest: pikes are great for disciplined, tightly-formed armies… and goblins aren’t exactly known for their discipline.You’ll never see a goblin hold formation like a Spanish Tercio. They’re a warband, not an army! So instead, this fierce fighter wields a trusty halberd: shorter, more chaotic, and perfectly suited for the messy kind of battle goblins actually enjoy.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/8-halberd-bearer-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 9: The Standard-BearerEvery warband needs someone bold (or foolish) enough to carry the banner into battle... and this goblin volunteered!Armed with nothing but pride and a big stick, The Standard-Bearer keeps morale high and the flag higher. The banner itself? Hand-painted with something resembling a goblin face, equal parts terrifying and endearing, like most things in goblin culture.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/9-standard-bearer-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 10: The ShamanWhen steel and chaos aren’t enough, the warband calls on The Shaman. Wise (by goblin standards) and more than a little unhinged, this elder channels wild magic through a staff topped with a glowing crystal that hums, crackles, and occasionally explodes.The Shaman claims to hear the voices of ancient goblin spirits... though it’s unclear if those spirits are actually guiding the warband or just encouraging more mayhem.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/10-shaman-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 11: The RiderSome goblins prefer to fight on foot. Others, like The Rider, know that a warband looks far more terrifying when charging into battle on the back of a snarling beast.Armed with a spear and an attitude, this goblin thunders across the battlefield atop a warboar : fast, feral, and completely uncontrollable (just like its rider).<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/11-rider-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 12: The TrapperNot every goblin wins a fight with brute strength, some prefer patience, cunning, and a well-placed snare. Meet The Trapper, master of pits, nets, and “creative” improvised hazards.He’s the kind of goblin who disappears before a battle starts, only to reappear after it’s over, proudly claiming every fallen foe as his work. Whether it’s spikes, ropes, or a suspiciously loose plank, The Trapper always has something nasty waiting underfoot.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/12-trapper-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 13: The RecruitEvery warband needs fresh blood, and today, we welcome The Recruit!Armed with a too-big club, an oversized backpack, and boundless enthusiasm, she’s ready (if not exactly prepared) for her first battle.Give her a few skirmishes and she’ll either become a veteran… or a very loud legend.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/13-recruit-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 14: The LookoutEvery warband needs someone who can spot danger before it arrives... or at least shout loud enough when it does!Whether it’s enemy scouts, tasty livestock, or an incoming avalanche, he’s the first to see it... and the first to run back yelling about it.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/14-lookout-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 15: The BerserkThe Berserk believes that subtlety is for elves and armor is for cowards. Fueled by pure rage (and probably a suspicious stew), he charges headfirst into battle.You don’t command a Berserk, you just point him in a direction and hope it’s the enemy’s.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/15-berserk-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 16: The SkirmisherSome goblins charge headfirst, others prefer to hit fast and run faster. Meet The Skirmisher, master of the quick strike and the quicker escape. Light armor, lighter conscience, and a blade that's tasted more backs than fronts.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/16-skirmisher-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 17: The EngineerWhen the warband needs something to explode, collapse, or (occasionally) work, they call The Engineer. Armed with a bag of tools, a head full of "brilliant" ideas, and only a vague understanding of safety, she builds siege engines, traps, and bombs with characteristic goblin recklessness.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/17-engineer-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 18: The VeteranWhile young goblins charge recklessly into battle, The Veteran knows when to advance, when to retreat, and exactly which insults work best on orcs. Scarred, gruff, and loud enough to be heard over the chaos, this seasoned warrior has survived more skirmishes than most goblins can count (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/18-veteran-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 19: The HunterNot all goblins rely on sharp sticks and loud screams — some prefer a more precise approach. The Hunter trades the bow for black powder, tracking prey with patience and taking them down with a well-aimed shot from her matchlock rifle. Quiet, focused, and always watching from the trees.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/19-hunter-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 20: The Tunnel FighterWhile most goblins fear the dark, The Tunnel Fighter thrives in it. Armed with a short blade and a lantern, he knows every twist, every echo, every shadow in the depths. Ambushes, collapsed tunnels, and eerie goblin war cries — underground warfare is where he truly shines.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/20-tunnel-fighter-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 21: The Bomb ThrowerArmed with a pouch full of homemade bombs and absolutely no sense of self-preservation, he's the warband's most dangerous weapon... mostly to everyone nearby. The Bomb Thrower believes that if a problem can't be solved with explosives, it just needs more explosives.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/21-bomb-thrower-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 22: The QuartermasterEvery warband needs someone who knows where the supplies are, who took the last ration, and exactly how many arrows are left. The Quartermaster might not fight on the front lines, but without him, the warband would be starving, lost, and out of arrows by noon. Organized, stern, and fiercely protective of his inventory.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/22-quartermaster-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Day 23: The ScavengerNeed a replacement spear, spare armor, or a lantern that "fell off a cart"? The Scavenger is your goblin. Resourceful, cunning, and always one step ahead of the looters, she can find (or "acquire") anything the warband needs.If it's rare, dangerous, or definitely someone else's, she'll get it. Eventually.<img src="https://korriganpress.com/img/goblintober/23-scavenger-250px.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The Goblintober is still running for a week! Stay tuned for more goblins as the warband continues to grow. I will post daily updates here, but if you want them first hand you can also follow me on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lostinbrittany/" target="_blank">@lostinbrittany</a>. By the end of the month, all 31 goblins will be collected into the Goblintober Warband Set, available as a printable PDF from Korrigan Press.</blockquote>
