I am going to agree with Sofinho. You have something that I think would make a nice card game or a lite RPG. As someone who designs both RPGs and board games, I often run into this exact same issue. And the great news is, you may have stumbled onto a nifty, unexpected result!

Well perhaps I will continue to work on ironing out the game and maybe eventually create custom materials. Basically its a prototype at best. I was trying to combine the mechanics of strategy games, deck building and rpg :D. The whole idea is to eventually have the player feel like they are an overlord :D

Trust me. I have been exactly where you're at haha. I'd love to play something where I feel like an overlord!

I think this works well as a card game but I do't think it really qualifies as an RPG, not in its present format, anyway.

Yea I have a terrible ability to write narrative, I was more focused on coming up with decent game mechanics. Basically the idea is instead of focusing on individual stats and blocks the role of the player is as a goblin. I was trying to develop simple mechanics of deck building and mass combat, using common game materials anyone might have. I was thinking along the lines of including ideas of politics where you could trade cards as a barging method to get people to ally with you in a battle. But basically this was a rough idea for people to role play as an overlord.
