[UA] OT: The Goblin Defense Fund

[Susan Dohnim]

Looks like the last email got screwed up . . . 

Yep, that's all me :). At least, the content -- had a ton of help with the hosting/web-design. Been having a ton of fun with it. 

Obviously, the site is only 33% serious at best, but there *is* a disturbing hypocrisy going on in the descriptions, as I outline in the History:

“The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise . . . goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them.”

vs.

“Elves are cautious warriors . . . maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They prefer to fire from cover and retreat before they are found, repeating this maneuver until all of their enemies are dead.” 

Plus, that whole deal with the goblin-home-invasion stuff that's been a staple of D&D forever. So make sure you sign the petition :).
