Basically the title. I'm aware of Zweihander and used to make content for it back when the community content program first started, and I'm aware of Sledgehammer. I've been out of the scene for a while though, so idk what else has sprung up since.

The issue I take with Warhammer is its mechanics are pretty baked into its setting, but the d100 core I love as my favorite resolution mechanic.

Zwei is generally more open-ended, but still a clone of it and still contains a lot of the weightiness I'm not a fan of.

Sledgehammer was a boon of a find, but its almost too light.

I've been developing and tweaking my own homebrew system for several years over several vastly different iterations. I'm wondering odd anyone knows of any systems out there able to scratch the itch without having to make my own.

D100 roll-under, rules light but not abysmally so. Preferably no setting with tied-in mechanics. Fantasy preferred, but not against sci-fi.

I'll be crossposting this between r/rpgcreation and r/ttrpgs, so I'm also cool with sub suggestions too.

TL;DR- how to differentiate goblins from other people without being insensitive.

I've been working on a knave-like warhammer system for a bit and I'm finally into the enemy portion of the designs. Knave-like in that is a stripped down, barebones core system mostly compatible with warhammer/d100 roll-unders, upon which im building a fully fleshed out game. (In theory it's compatible but it does require some conversion, but its something a bit more robust than Sledgehammer)

Ideally, it will work for more broadly genetic fantasy.

My NPC design is pretty sleek, they fall into a category that gives them premade stats, and then tags modify them slightly so they stand out in their own ways.

Now I'm up to goblins. The tags they have make them essentially the same as bandits, but smaller.

How can I create a tag that makes them seem more like an intelligent but savage tribal creature... without making it seem like I'm using *"that"* connotation?

The tags bandits have are Humanoid and Organized, so they can use weapons and armor, items, spells, etc. And build a "lair," set traps, use environmental advantages, and so on.

Making a tag I can re-use for other NPCs is nice, so there's not this random one-off tag. I was thinking instead of Humanoid use demi-human which just adds some flair or limitations; inspired in the sense of Elden Ring demi-humans but then I'm still in that same problem of looking at something as "less than" instead of "something adjacent"

Goblinoid could be reused in a sense, but I was hoping to use it to cover anything from Gnolls to orks, and maybe even some other types I'm not thinking of right now. Human-like could be used, I suppose. It's probably the safest bet
