There are like 4 or 5 different types of MtG goblins, depending on which plane they come from, and they all have different attributes, physique and intelligence level. They're all quite goblin-like, though.
My favourites are Ravnican, Mirrodin and Zendikari ones.

Is there any fiction behind PF goblins? Currently reading Bassingthwaite's Eberron series about goblinoids and the books seem somewhat interesting.
mtg goblins are all over the spectrum.
geen elves, to fat red imps, to longed noce green fuckers, to black wide mouthed mofo's
Pathfinder goblins are Legit the best.
the other d&d goblins just seem lacking, and are like lame hobgoblins, who inturn seem like waterdown bugbears.
pathfinder understands goblin kind.
kobolds are also another fuckery type race

We could have had something good, but memes ruined everything.
Goblins are only good as a footnote or not existent at all in Azeroth.
Apart from that, Trolls and Dwarves are spot on.I will never accept Gnomes as an independent race from Dwarves until my last breath. They were a Dwarf subrace in Warcraft 2 and nothing will convince me otherwise!

Anyone here played as a goblin in DnD or similar ttrpg?
I hear they're playable with Volo's Guide to Monsters and I love these little guys.
I like the crazy goblins like wow or pathfinder. I love the depth volo's guide goes into goblin society. I once in me young days made a race for a pathfinder campaign that were a mix of elf and orc that was hated and called goblins even though they were nothing like the little fucks. More of a racist motif to that adventure.

The jamaican angle was pretty funny initially when I was twelve, but the more I learnt about actual jamaican accents it became clear that Metzen just did a very bad impression of an assortment of caribbean and creolian dialects. As such, it is my firm head-canon that trolls sound like congolese paramilitants when speaking common.

It's pretty accurate at least as far as Warcraft sexual dimorphism goes. Only race in WoW that doesn't follow this are worgen and only because Blizzard mangled their in-game model so badly that it doesn't even look like a wolf anymore.

A lot of kids these days are completely ignorant of the origins of a lot of terms and creatures so they assume the tropes that d&d started as the foundation and consider whatever variation thereof that they prefer as how things "should" be.
Same as the kids who don't know healing used to be in the necromancy school along with other positive elements like communication with ancestors and spirit guides so they argue that necromancers HAVE to be edgy bad guys all in black.

Bad CGI, bad script, bad characterisation, bad films from every angle.
The goblins themselves, as megalomaniacal dickheads were pretty compelling, the goblin king is basically the only character I can really imagine laying around all day, coming up with sings and doing impromptu performances because why not.
I also liked how obviously nasty they were but how cut off from the world too, it seemed like if he'd not heard of original orc donut steel and his vendetta against Thorin he'd have given serious thought to working a deal out with them, well right up until the main characters basically pissed him off for no reason.

Barghests are goblin lycanthropes that eat the flesh and souls of their victims and were created by a god that got double-crossed by the goblin main god. Barghests mainly eat goblin souls, because in doing this they severely deplete the goblin's god army in the afterlife.
Nilbogs are goblins who were touched by the trickster god (something like Sheogorath).

No actually, the trolls had an empire that spanned the world and a mayan-esque civilization until the Well-Niggers summoned the Burning Legion and fucked everything up. So yeah, all of Azeroth's problems can be directly linked to the first Elves who were a mutated sub-species of troll. Hell, trolls almost have the same longevity as the elves due to their regeneration, and even then they can easily be brought back as mummies to continue living on, just without the juicy bits.

Wayne Reynolds is a bit of a mystery. His art is probably one of the best studies in dynamic posing, rendering action in an interesting way, and using angles and lines to direct the viewer throughout a piece in way that shows a very high level of understanding of form and flow. He's great at rendering layers of cloth and armor and other stuff on top of a form, and when he really breaks out of his "3/4 view, legs-spread" concept-art poses, he can create some interesting really great works.
BUT, at the same time, his anatomy is horrible. If you have any understanding of the human figure, you can basically lay a proportioned skeleton over his poses and find that he breaks tons of anatomy rules all over the place. Limbs way too long, bent at weird angles, not matching up to where they should be. Curves, angles, joints all in the wrong place as he seems to draw his anatomy after deciding on the lines of the piece, not before, etc.
There's tons to learn from his work, but only if you know what parts to disregard.

>"Grit," an unidentified mineral commonly found in volcanic rock and magma tunnels, is often pounded into dust and eaten by goblins, and it serves to partially calcify their skin—enough to toughen them up against the elemental forces they are constantly subjected to. As goblins age, therefore, their skin develops a stiff, leathery quality like elephant skin. An older goblin starts to look greyer and stonier over time.
