Korrigan Press and my Goblintober Challenge

From TTRPG dreams to paper goblins

So, I've been keeping a secret from you all. Well, not exactly a secret, but something I've been working on quietly in the background while juggling everything else: Korrigan Press.

What is Korrigan Press?

Korrigan Press is my small indie TTRPG publishing venture – a one-man adventure born from years of scribbled plot notes and late-night dice rolls. The name comes from the cunning, capricious fae of Breton lore – creatures known for surprising strength, boundless curiosity, and a touch of mischief. Seemed fitting, really.

The main project I'm working on is Perseverance, a space-western Frontier Sci-Fi Genre Pack for QuestWorlds. Think Firefly meets Deadwood on a dust-blown planet at the edge of the Terran Commonwealth. It's been brewing in my head for ages, and I'm finally getting it down on paper (well, pixels).

But here's the thing about indie publishing – you start small, you test the waters, you learn as you go.

The goblin gateway

The real catalyst came when my children finally reached the age where they could join me for tabletop miniature games. We chose One Page Rules' Age of Fantasy: Skirmish as our gateway game – fast, flexible, perfect for younger players.

Instead of diving straight into expensive plastic minis and painting (though we'll get there eventually), we started with paper minis. Easy to print, cut, and play with immediately. We used some excellent Trash Mob Minis for our first armies, but then my daughter asked for something specific: a Goblin warband led by a fierce female chieftain.

I couldn't find paper minis that matched her vision, so I did what any obsessive parent would do – I made them myself. Sketches on the iPad, polished in Inkscape, turned into colorful minis for the tabletop.

And that's how Korrigan Press' first release was born: Goblin Hero & Archers – a free set of printable paper miniatures.

Enter Goblintober

October arrived, and with it, the season of creative challenges. While others do Inktober or write daily stories, I decided to put a goblin spin on it: Goblintober.

The challenge: design and craft a brand-new goblin paper miniature every single day of October. 31 days, 31 unique goblins. By the end of the month, I'll have a complete goblin army ready for anyone to print and play.

Each design should be immediately playable – print, cut, base, and they're ready to join the fight.

Why goblins? Why paper minis?

Goblins are perfect for this kind of project: scrappy, chaotic, endlessly versatile. They can be warriors, scouts, mystics, or comic relief. Each new design adds personality to the warband.

Paper minis solve a real problem too. Not everyone can afford expensive miniatures or has time for painting. Paper minis are accessible – you can print as many copies as you need, try different armies without breaking the bank, and get straight to the fun part: playing.

The bigger picture

This is all part of my broader vision for Korrigan Press: quality over quantity, modularity (content you can drop into any game), and community-driven development. Whether it's space-western RPG settings or goblin paper armies, I want to create things that enhance your tabletop experience without overwhelming your wallet or shelf space.

You can follow the daily Goblintober progress on Instagram or check out the Korrigan Press blog. When October wraps up, all 31 goblins will be released together as the Goblintober Warband Set – free or pay-what-you-want.

It's been fascinating to add this creative challenge to my daily routine. Between work, family, and all my other obsessions, finding time to design a goblin each day has been... well, let's just say my time management skills are getting a workout.

But that's the beauty of creative challenges – they force you to make time for the things you love, even when life gets chaotic.

So, sharpen your scissors and ready your bases. The goblin army grows daily, and there's always room for one more at the table.

Cheers,
