Your group of Hanukkah goblins begin the game on the first night of Hanukkah. You will have 8 nights of Hanukkah to resolve your Scenario (described below). Each Encounter fills one night of Hanukkah. When you reach the last night of Hanukkah (or whenever feels right), you must decide how the story ends and conclude the story.
You may progress through the 8 days as you choose, but you can also use the following mechanic to help pace the game. One day of Hanukkah is measured by every goblin using their item at least one time that day.
Use a d6 to select a scenario below, or choose your own!
| 1 |
The King of the Goblins has returned with a vengeance to rid all the towns of Hanukkah. Like last time, the King of the Goblins will return on the Last/Eighth night of Hanukkah (see “Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins”). The only way to save Hanukkah is to unite the Villagers and goblins against the Goblin King to vanquish him once and for all. Can you save Hanukkah? |

Your group comes across some other goblins and some townsfolk in the town square arguing about missing Hanukkah candles. The townsfolk believe the goblins stole the candles, but the goblins insist they didn’t steal the candles. You are asked to help find the Hanukkah candles and determine who stole them. Will you help find the candles? |
| 3 |
Upon arriving into the town, you and your goblin friends have been captured by the townspeople. They are afraid you will take away Hanukkah! *gasp* You must convince them to let you out so you can convince other goblins to celebrate Hanukkah. |
| 4 |
You come into town and notice that although the town is full of Hanukkah candles on the first night, you see signs around town saying “NO HANNUKAH GOBLINS ALLOWED. REPORT FOUND GOBLINS TO THE SHERIFF FOR A 50 SHEKEL REWARD.” As you sneak over to the sheriff’s building, you see other Hanukkah goblins locked up in a cell outside. You know that imprisoning people simply for their identity is wrong, so you decide to convince the town to release the goblins and celebrate Hanukkah together. |
| 5 |
Before entering the town and just before sundown on the first night of Hanukkah, you come across another abandoned synagogue filled with other Hanukkah goblins! However, they are planning to raid the town to take the dreidels and chocolate gelt from the children. How do you convince the goblins to not raid? If you aren’t successful, what happens? |
| 6 | As you arrive into town, you see that the town looks completely normal, but that is odd since you expected there to be a joyous celebration since tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. When you speak to people in the town square, everyone seems sad, tired, and unexcited about Hanukkah. Even the other goblins in town seem bored and lazy. As you walk past the synagogue, you see bird-like footprints leading into the temple. You think there is a Sheyd in this town depressing the Hanukkah spirit. How will you save the town? |
