Running Goblins with Comical Bad Luck

One idea discussed in the podcast is running goblins with a comical bad luck theme. In this approach, whenever goblins attempt something, there's a good chance that one or a few of them will meet an unfortunate end. This could be seen in scenarios like goblins getting stuck in traps or being catapulted at enemies. The concept of goblins having a streak of bad luck and their antics resulting in self-disposal is explored.
