THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 78

Part of my rules for writing THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER is to not write about current events, mostly because there are millions of people commenting on whatever is to the fore during the day. I watched a commencement address given by documentary maker ...

THE FIGHTING FORTRESS!

Coming on the 13th! The Fighting Fortress as an stl file! Jaycee did a fantastic job on this one!

VEHICLE BY INHALT

This is my new favorite song.

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 77

I can remember 9-11 happening. It was a sunny day in the late summer, fall was around the corner. The first plane slammed into the World Trade Center when me & Katie were waking up, listening to our radio alarm getting ready for work in our We...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 76

I have had more creative ideas for projects than I have time lately. It’s like I figured out what my hindrances are & now I’m flowing those ideas through the new slots. This level of creativity is awesome, my brain is dredging these concep...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 75

Coming so close to non-existence gave me such a profound taste of the Universal that the specific felt irrelevant to me. I feel like Gandalf after returning from the fight with the Balrog, a different color, hard to identify. Still, my job is to p...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 74

Upon returning home from a visit to her Brother’s Family in San Francisco & having to read their saccharine books to their kids & watch their TV, Katie thanked me for my dogged watch over the media that came into our home, the movies we ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 73

Dr. Bronner’s is one of my favorite companies of all time. I liked them well before I used the soap, I just love the audacity of making your packaging be wall-to-wall screeds with little care for the usual graphic trickery. You used to be able t...

DIRTY DEEDS BOOKLET

I've been working on the booklets for all the expansion boxes, here's the beginning of Dirty Deeds.

THE CHICKEN WITCH

Alex Siddy animated the DUNGEON DEGENERATES Chicken Witch! It’s cool to see him quiver!

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 72

I was a hard leftist growing up, not subscribing to any sectarian philosophy. I still believe in a highly modified set of leftist ideals but they have been heavily tempered over the years by my interactions with actual leftists, regular people &am...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 71

One of my favorite children’s book series is Mercer Mayer’s Little Monster. Published from 1977 to 1980 & overshadowed by the success of his far inferior, ignorable Little Critter series, Little Monster books are amazing. It might seem wei...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 70

I want to open a bookstore in the future. A hermitage that I can share with other people. A place that can be totally life affirming for the right people. Out of all the trappings I jettisoned post-stroke, my record collection, my rocker gear, my ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 68

I don’t talk enough about the things I’d like to see. I’d like for each region in America to work hard on amplifying, refining & exaggerating the positive aspects of their culture & be honest about, identify & work on the negativ...

RATS IN THE RATHAUS

I decided to start focusing on my writing a few months ago. This has led me to try writing my first short story. I haven't written more than 12 pages of fiction historically & I've written lots of shorter non-fiction pieces. This is the first ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 67

I used to view negative emotions as something that got in the way of life. This was such an obviously wrong & childish way of thinking. Negative emotions are an enormous part of life. They are teachers. It was the things that created the negat...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 66

I had this realization the other day that my youthful desire for power was actually a need to control my immediate surroundings. I felt such visceral & total disgust towards things I didn’t like, my ultimate want was to not feel that way. I ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 65

I’ve been thinking alot about resentment & holding grudges. So many of the subcultures I was involved in growing up had a very encouraging attitude towards anger, resentment & grudges. Culture for beaten dogs. Seems like a profound, all-...

MINIATURES

DUNGEON DEGENERATES miniatures are 25% off with the code MINIATURES, the sale ends at the end of September, we’re launching a crowdfunding campaign to have Jaycee resculpt all our conventional old minis & offer them in metal, plastic or as ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 64

Art, fantasy, games & the like are seen as a place of escape for most people. I have been interested in using these things not as an escape from reality but as a doorway between worlds. A doorway that adds dimension & flavor to reality. I ...

MORE GOBLIN MODE BOOKLET

I'm really pleased with how this is looking. I should be working on Dirt Deeds but I was inspired to work on this one - to establish the structure I'll be using on all of them.

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 63

(The above image is an old zine cover I never used)

I went through a major shift in consciousness when I hit 22. I wasn’t where I wanted to be in life, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted but I knew that the little world of Punk wasn’t cu...

GOBLIN MODE BOOK

I've been working on the Goblin Mode book. Have a look!

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 62

When I was in high school we were given an employment test. All the sophomores were supposed to take it. I was excited to find out what course I should be on, even if I had decided my path previously. These tests should have been administered in t...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 61

I have been interested in doing projects, my works to relate to a larger group understanding for a while. I don’t do this based on how the group identifies itself but how I identify the group or what I want for that group or how I want that grou...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 60

I have a vivid sense of right & wrong. It goes beyond good & evil & it gets more complex than that, it’s almost a smell test. I used to go on & on about following my nose or my gut. I can remember distinctly facing down the optio...

THE GOBLIN CHICKEN

Introducing the Goblin Chicken by Alex Hagen

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 59

I watched the big speeches from the RNC & the DNC this year. I have listened to the big speeches from both conventions since 1992, maybe 1988. I generally don’t like politicians because so much of getting elected is making promises that donâ...

THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 58

I started to understand the nature of creativity in my early forties. Creativity is akin to & as crucial as water. A water that brings a new angle to everything we do on this Earth & ultimately gives the things we interact with a new shine...
