Disgusting Little Freaks

In the full social calendar of the rich and powerful, there are a select few events that are truly Important. They are the kinds of events attended by every flavour of elite, from presidents to CEOs to movie stars, and are open only to those of the highest status. They are the kind of events covered breathlessly each year by all major news channels and papers, and from which journalists are barred. They are fantasies of glitz and luxury, shining visions of life utterly unattainable to all but the most select few, and you, all you want to do is ruin it for everybody. You Disgusting Little Freak.

Disgusting Little Freaks is a game in which 2-5 players take on the role of goblins in disguise at a Very Important Party. Your goal is to ruin the party as much as possible using your disgusting magic, while also maintaining the disguise that allows you to operate in the human world.

In the world of the game, goblins are a kindred of trickster spirits whose magic manifests as some of the most disgusting things human minds could ever imagine. Goblins are also fundamentally chaotic creatures, and being made subject to rules causes them to produce bursts of revolting power that protect them against the great horrors of the human world: order and propriety. It is this defensive response that your goblins will exploit to absolutely wreck this Party.

Controlling the Party, and playing its Host, is a player known as the PM or Party Master. The PM is also responsible for creating the Party, adjudicating just how revolting the goblins’ actions are, and generally making the goblins’ lives entertainingly difficult.

While the Party Master does take on an oppositional role in this game, they are not the enemy of the goblin players. All players in the game should see themselves as being on the same side: the side of a good story, and a fun time pretending to be disgusting little freaks.
