Behind the scenes


The team of the sitcom Love, Death & Goblins thanks the audience for their interest in their work!

We are pleased to inform you that despite the writers' strike, the scripts for the episodes of the next season will be written... we have not yet found who will replace the screenwriters, but we promise that we will not pay these greedy scribblers a single extra coin! We apologize in advance for the senselessness and ruthlessness of the next season (perhaps you think that this season was filled with meanings or pity? Ha-ha!).

Due to the fact that the director of the series was suspected of culinary harassment, the next season will be filmed by a religious fanatic!

The sitcom team states with full responsibility that only one horse was injured during the filming of the episodes, but it has already recovered!

The sitcom team supports gender and racial diversity in the series, so next season the Goblin Mom will be played by a gay centaur who associates himself with the sphinx.

The sitcom team supports that country, they forgot its name and don't really know where it is, but they heard that it was attacked by the evil Prussia (maybe Barussia). Anyone who wants to support that country (or Prussia, or Barussia) can follow this link (hvtp::scam-site.com ) and leave your donations there.

The sitcom team supports the Green Skin Matters movement, has never exploited goblins, therefore considers itself entitled to use shackles, overseers, whips and practice public flogging in working with goblin actors

We are also pleased to announce that the studio has approved several prequels to the series under the working titles: "How I Met your Goblin Mom", "Young Goblin-Papa", as well as the sequel "Goblin-bang Theotry"!

Stay tuned! Don't switch!
The Lord of Drama (29)
Contrary to bets put by accountants the trading good transport failed due to writing department error sending ship order to sail in wrong direction, while expeditionary forces handily arrowed the dragon. Nevertheless, the loot was challenging for traders to agree on value. The warriors emerged from dragon's cave carrying 5 windchimes. 
"Windchimes!?!?"  cried out one of the big fat traders, " what are good are those? Completely unusable, what are we kind of magic faction. Probably none is going to buy one of those neither."
Nevertheless economists got to work and after short time initial evaluation get to the point that it may have some monetary value. Assuming that windchimes increase speed by 50% and assuming long enough voyage, it would save a third of maintenace costs. Two windchimes for three galleons full of men, would return value of 1500 silver per month. This is where economists stuck, trying to agree on discount rate for future. They always got stuck on discount rate. 
The other option is to get market place. So if someone is interested to purchase windchime for 5000 silver pieces close to southern pole, let us know.

Ok, I am happy to announce to the world that Factions 44 and 49 have officially peeved me off.

The continued and unrelenting elimination of any non allied peasants whilst remaining silent within game communication is unacceptable. You have created a new enemy. 

I was going to be small, nice and peaceful in this game to all. Play a relaxed game. It appears not to be. My patience with your poor behaviour has been exhausted. I have fought with and against some of your current allies in prior games. Let them inform you of the impact of your poor choices on your long term game life expectancy.

Most of all, I was impressed in the pirates' reaction to being slightly pinched in a region that meant nothing to them, the volume of letters from them whining about injustice and the volume of lies in these letters! Lies about how they defended themselves by destroying everyone they weren't afraid of. Lies that they did not block the land with lone scouts in order to prevent others living nearby from developing, although before that they themselves declared that they did not need the land and they distributed it to everyone who needs. Lies...  In general, pirates! What should I take from them? It is sad that there will be those who will believe them, and we will have to fight with them too. Don't believe pirates! And don't help them! This is not your war!

The Squirrel Dominion: A Tale of Furry Heroes and Epic Adventures

In a realm where the trees whispered secrets and the winds carried the echoes of ancient magic, there existed a hidden kingdom known as Squirreltopia. This enchanted land was ruled by the Squirrelians, a race of intelligent, bushy-tailed beings who had mastered the art of acrobatics, cunning, and nut diplomacy. Their dominion was a place of wonder, where every acorn was a treasure, every tree a fortress, and every squirrel a hero.

The Rise of the Squirrelians
Long ago, in the Age of Chaos, the world was ruled by dragons and giants. Humans, elves, and other races cowered in fear, their lands ravaged by fire and shadow. But deep within the forests, a small group of squirrels—led by the legendary Nutara the Wise—discovered an ancient artifact known as the Acorn of Eternity. This mystical nut granted them not only intelligence but also the ability to communicate with the trees and the wind. With their newfound wisdom, the Squirrelians rose to power, forming alliances with the forests and driving back the forces of darkness.
