I respect you preference, but Kobolds, being of the Dragonkin race, has little buisiness being with the greenskins. My instinct is to gather the greenskins and having the names reflect that. If you have other ideas please post them and we'll talk it out.

Maybe you deliberately don't want to make the greenskin names like Warcraft, but I like the name goblin sapper for a saboteur.

Well all due respect to warcraft, which I've played since Warcraft I, but they didn't invent either the term "greenskins" or the names for the species in that race. But if you have some suggestions as to what alternative subgroups could be in the "greenskin" race then I'm all ears (and eyes).

Sorry Shrapnel, I misread your first post. Well I like it better too, but being both a simple combination of two words Goblin + Sapper (which anyone can use) and a unit in a copyrighted game I don't know if we can use it,  but I'll ask Stormcrow what he thinks.

Sry for the misunderstanding.

So far as I know .. no one has IP'd ( Intellectual Property) any fantasy race names. So I would believe you are good to go on borrowing whatever names you want.

LOL'd .. you would produce the one manufacturer prone to IP madness. Though they cant IP words like Orc, they did IP the word 'Tap'. forestalling many decent clones. I did quit playing Magic after beta when they tubed my collecting and selling of the more valuable cards :(
