I'm in the middle of jotting down notes for my own goblin empire. I get the feeling your goblins are very different to mine, but I still think I'll steal that "sacred maggot procession".
I think I'm going to mess around with this for a haunted forest. I'm thinking lots of encounter checks, 6 on a d6 will be (mostly) this sheet and a 5 will be a natural obstacle (climb checks, hunting traps, air-born spores from hallucinogenic mushrooms) then have a few (4-5) important things they have to do, all while not getting lost (won't happen).
Until I looked at the first picture and read "crow-headed man" I hadn't been picturing the interior of a Goblin city as something out of Hieronymous Bosch. Now I am. That's awesome.

I agree about the maggot procession. That one line of text sure does fire up the imagination.

I love goblins. My favourite humanoid 'baddy'.
