Goblins Part 1 is looking like it's going to become the first part of a much longer series. To begin with, there are dozens of variants of Goblins in 2nd edition alone. Were I to be thorough, and I intend to be, Chainmail, 0e and 1e would be the new part 1, and then 2, 3, 4, and 5 all need their own parts individually, before I even start getting into the etymology and origins of Goblins, other systems their versions of goblins, and the breakdown of the eventual final product Goblin.
I'm including my own thoughts, summaries of the entries, commonalities between editions to support the final thesis (the presentation of a core Goblin baseline), etc. I'm also snapping screenshots and cropped entries from the PDF's of the books themselves, for accuracy, posterity, and debate. In 2e, that's a whole page, in other editions it is several full pages worth of material in pictures alone.
Needless to say, it's a lot, and it is taking longer than I thought, but the work is ongoing and progress is being made. Significant progress, even, and I'm enjoying the work. Once the material for all parts is compiled for further examination, I'll start the actual writing process, which shouldn't take more than a day once I get to that point. The compilation process on the other hand.... Stay tuned.
