Sounds like some shenanigans brewing in our sister guild…
I’ve exchanged the Goblin Lore Expeditions for a casual “Goblin Walk-up RP Night” event which will take place weekly on Saturdays from 8pm-9pm server time (CST).
The event takes place at the Wyvern’s Tail and is similar to the Horde Tavern Night, except that I don’t act as bartender. If anyone is new to the Horde and would like to try some RP, this would be a perfect time.
There is no planned storyline, no sign-ups, and it could be crazy depending on who shows up. For our first event, Octovi “Klibb” took a few goblins and curious bystanders through a few rounds of Hearthstone RP.

The Goblin Lore Expeditions are fun but they are a lot of work for me (about 3-4 hours prep+write up per event), plus attendance has been dropping, so I’ve decided to put them into hiatus for the time being.

It’s been tough trying to find fresh blood for Flashbang lately. Mid-expansion blues and all that. Nevertheless, we are still a very active guild and would welcome folks that don’t mind race-changing or server transferring to get a piece of the action.
Remember we are an RP guild first and foremost. We also do low level mythic keystones and normal raids. We have occasional PvP activties, nothing serious. Having fun with friends is what we’re all about.
If you’re looking for the latest content and progression, or a rated BG team, then I’m afraid our guild won’t be a good fit for you.
Sometimes we are also asked if a goblin allied race would be allowed into the guild. It really depends on what Blizzard gives us, but if it’s gilgoblins, then of course! If it’s furry vulpera, I’ll have to think about it. It would be great if an allied race could give us a few more class options.
Here are a few activities we have coming up:
Wed 9pm: Mekgrim is hosting a Dueler’s League event, with prizes to be won!
Fri 10pm: Flashbang is joined by a few goblin friends from WrA and ED as we beat our way through the last few bosses of Uldir, for the second time.
Sat 3pm: Finzi leads some adventurous goblins in search of the elusive Ratstallion in Dalaran Sewers.
Sat 8pm: Join Flywheel for a social night at the Wyvern’s Tail.
All this and much more, when you join the crew of Flashbang Exports!

Looking for something different? Perhaps an RP experience other than tavern walk-ups and random encounters? Well, Flashbang Exports has what you want.
"Search for the Golden Gob" is a fully immersive, RP leveling experience. Starting in Ratchet, players will meet once per week, leveling their character inside the WoW story as they search for the legendary Golden Gob.
Being a team of all Goblins, expect mayhem, madness and silly fun. Especially since they are warehouse workers who’ve never been allowed beyond the warehouse. Beyond rumor, everything is new to them.
We have three players already committed and want more Gobs! The more the merrier. What could be more exciting than a group of uninformed, poorly trained Goblins set loose on the world?
SEARCH FOR THE GOLDEN GOB
A paced leveling adventure
SCENARIO
You are a weak, worthless, superstitious peon. That’s right, pal. A know-nothing mook without a copper’s chance of rising above warehouse duty. You push brooms, stack crates, bandage injuries, light candles with a wisp of magical power. Weak is a kind word for your abilities. Anyone who is somebody doesn’t know you, doesn’t care to know you and probably never will.
Until today, that is.
You and your pals have come across a palm-sized, weather-beaten, leather journal. It was tucked beneath a mat of straw inside a shipping crate; a crate destined for the firepits. While on break, your group read (those who can) about an amazing relic from Goblin legend: The Golden Gob. The schmuck who owned the journal was hot on its trail. It includes a description of the relic, a map without words and a series of riddles, clues and landmarks. After reading, nothing makes much sense. Well, the starting spot does: Ratchet.
Every Goblin has heard of that legendary town.
After a brief discussion, you decide that the book is a gift from the Great Goblin. You can be free from humdrummery. You can become great. You can make your mark and rise above the fetid cesspool of failure. All you must do is find the Golden Gob. Oh, and tell the Boss of your plans. That might be more dangerous.
OOC INFORMATION
Start level: 20+ (no higher than 40)

Greblix shook just a little as he stamped into his office-shack in the slums of Orgrimmar. “That dang elf! Not only does he not buy anythin’, he crushed one ‘a my gems, too! I mean, sure, it was a crappy one I was overchargin’ for, but still! It’s the principle of the thing!”
Throwing himself into a rickety chair, he grabbed a sheet of worn parchment and began mumbling to himself while jotting down notes. “Gonna have ta get some sorta backup here, I ain’t got a chance of goin’ it alone in a city like this. Weren’t there some kinda Goblins-only cartel operatin’ ‘round here? Flashboom Imports, or somethin’? Maybe I could shack up with them lot an’ start gettin’ my jewels out ta folks what won’t be inclined ta wreck 'em in the streets.”
Nodding to himself, Greblix crumpled up his notes page and tossed it into a corner, penning a quick letter on a fresher, clean piece of paper. Satisfied, he tucked it into an envelope and, after a moment’s hesitation, slipped in a couple of the nicer small gems he had alongside it.
“Oi, mook! Take this here letter down ta the postmaster and make sure it gets ta them Flashy-whatever company folks! An’ if I find out it ain’t got there on time, intact, an’ un-tampered, yer gonna be in for a world 'a hurt, pal!”
To the Corporate Executive Goblin,
I am a jeweler working out of an independant workshop office in Orgrimmar, and have started looking to expand my business dealings. I have heard nothing but praise for your excellent shipping and/or distribution operations, and would be very interested in a chance to work alongside you and your people to bring fine jewellery to the people of Azeroth, for a very reasonable price!If this sounds agreeable, I would relish the opportunity to sit down and talk shop with you or one of your representatives. I am sure we can come to mutually profitable arrangement, with all the necessary and appropriate clauses included of course!
May our dealings be as smooth as a greased gold piece,
Greblix Coppertongue, Jewelmesiter Extraordinaire.P.S. I have included a sample of some of my work, for your appraisal. Please consider it partial payment in advance for your time.

Flywheel unfolded the letter, her eye skimming over it briefly. “Another goblin lookin’ to make big bucks in the city, eh?” She glanced over at Kitchyjewel, who had delivered the note personally, and was looking rather…enthusiastic.
Flywheel thought about the proposition for a moment, calculating the probable earnings revenue this ‘Grebix’ fellow would generate, subtracting a minimum wage plus holiday allowances, and insurance fees. She figured the profit margin would work out at approximately 0.0003%. It was worth the risk.
“Get Grebix in here, would ya? Tell him, he has himself a job. Bottom rung, of course, but a job nonetheless. It says here, he’s a ‘jewelmeister’…whatever that means. Maybe we could put him to work in the factory craftin’ ridiculously authentic-lookin’, but none-the-less FAKE jewels, and sell them off to unsuspectin’ blood elves! Now that’s a plan for profit if I ever heard one.”
Flywheel took a slow deep breath as the mechanisms of her brain kept ticking over.
“I’m not just sure how ya would make a fake jewel though. Maybe cook up some silicon crystals in a pot, then pour 'em into a mould with a bit of food coloring? I’ll leave that up to the expert to figure out.”
She looked at Kitchyjewel, who had been quiet and attentive the whole time. “Oh. Ya still here? Go on then. Find this sucker! I can’t wait to see what ‘gems’ he has to offer!”
A slightly sinister, ghoulish grin danced across Flywheel’s face as she watched Kitchyjewel depart. She rolled the small gems that Grebix had included in his package around in her palm. They looked expensive, at least in her completely unprofessional opinion. The truth was, she couldn’t tell a jewel from a slab of chalk. “I think I’m going to have Grebix make me a new bracelet,” she mused with satisfaction.

Now is the perfect time to level a goblin. We have a guild event running every week that you only need to reach level 20 to participate in. It’s a mission to obtain an ancient relic, the Golden Gob. This is a fully immersive role play group event. The group began its adventure today by following the interpretation of clues from a recently discovered map.
Don’t want to level a goblin, but still want in on this? Bring any race, level 20-60, characters into our sister guild Flashbang Associates and let the good times roll.

Raiding tomorrow night, 10p-12a server time. Also don’t forget about the guild expo tomorrow evening as well, 9p-10p. If you’re looking to join our guild and skip the lowly OOC rank then meeting us there and joining the guild through some rp is a good way to fast track your first promotion!! Promotions mean raises and every true goblin wants more gold!

Did you know that there are only a small handful of goblin-only guilds across all of the WoW servers? Flashbang Exports is arguably one of the biggest and best!
We are a very active guild, with 5-10 people on most weeknights, and sometimes 15+ on raid nights. We have a mixture of US and Oceanics, and as a guild we do RP events, low level M+, normal raids, and some battlegrounds! We also have a levelling group that is also working through an IC story in “The Search for the Golden Gob”!
Newcomers to goblin RP are very welcome. We have a weekly tavern event, as well as monthly IC guild meetings. Goblin players tend to be very laid-back, friendly, helpful, and always ready with bad jokes.
Looking for a good time? Think Flashbang Exports!

“Hope you don’t mind, but I filled the place with the leftover fireworks from your party. All you have to do is go in there and sabotage things.
May I suggest the faulty generator, the leaky stove, and the flammable bed? Then come back outside and use the control panel to send in the gasbot.
It’s a foolproof plan!”

Flashbang Exports is in the process of expanding our business to catering. From eating chocolate cookies that make you 1000% feel better, chocolate cake that has fireworks, to Pandarian cuisine.
That’s right pal! As Chef I’m hunting down all the recipes I can get my money grubbing hands on.
Always in need of more chefs. Roll a gob today and join Flashbang, or if green isn’t your color, you can always join Flashbang Associates.

Catchpenny could hear a terrible screeching coming from the back room of the office. It sounded like a vulture having a fist fight with an oversized tarantula. After a moment, as she saw a disheveled mass of blue hair and green skin emerging through the door and rubbing its eyes, she realised it was just Flywheel.
“Ugh! Penny. I fell asleep at my desk and just had the most horrible dream. No, it was a NIGHTMARE! We had raised an army to dispense with that witch Jaina Proudmoore (and take all the glory for ourselves)…when we sprung a trap that turned us all into HIDEOUS GNOMES! I ran around for hours trying to find the reverse poison remedy, but instead all I found was a stash of gems and a huge pile of coins!”
Flywheel broke for a moment, sobbing into her hands.
“I thought the torture would never end! In my heart, all my lust for gold was gone, and not to mention ALL MY GADGETS WERE BROKE! This has to be a lesson for all of us, to always remember that goblin engineering is superior. I can’t imagine my daily life without rocket boots. I just…can’t!”
Flywheel’s voice became less erratic as she took some deep breaths and tried to calm down. “Phew, I’m glad that’s over. Someone get me some COFFEE!!”

Catchpenny was taking out a batch of chocolate cookies when she heard Boss Flywheel scream.
A gnome nightmare? That could only mean one thing. Catchpenny looked around the kitchen and spied a brown paper wrapper stuffed in the trash bin.
"To Flashbang Exports
c/o Flywheel Mahoney
A special treat for your Boss. Enjoy the fish!
signed,
X"
Gnomes! who else could have given her boss Haunted Herring? No wonder she had nightmares. Eating that will scare you.
Catchpenny brewed up a cup of her Starfire Espresso along with a plate of chocolate cookies and placed them on the table in front of her boss.
“No wonder ya had nightmares Boss. I found this wrapper in the trash bin. Wasn’t Rakdurm lookin into something or other about a sulking stranger around the storage warehouses?”
Catchpenny had been traveling back and forth between Outland and Northrend these past several weeks trying to improve both her Outland and Northrend cooking. She had no idea who was in and out of the kitchen.
“I’ll be in the kitchen most of the day. If ya need anything. I’ll send for supplies and whip up a batch of one of my latest recipes I found.”
Catchpenny went back to the kitchen and looked at the vegetables she needed. That farm in Pandaria better have a new shipment of carrots, red blossom leeks, and striped melons coming soon.
