Goblins should be silly little guys that don't give a fuck. Sucks that some shitty writers have turned them into an anti-semetic caricature.
I like silly little guys.
I want a fantasy thing where the goblin is the hero. Let goblins win for once.

There was a project called Goblin Camp that aimed to be Dwarf Fortress but goblins. Years and years and years ago. Pretty sure it got abandoned in the end.
I sometimes think about the person who started it and wonder how they're doing.
EDIT: Oh apparently it did get abandoned, and then revived as an entirely different project, and now that project is a game currently in early access on Steam lol. https://goblincamp.com/2023/07/03/Havent-I-seen-you-guys-before.html
No idea if it's the same as the original project I saw. That original project is still on github I think.
Isn't Dwarf Fortress easy to mod? Could probably just do that
No. Not yet. It's pretty limited for modding at the moment. It will be much better for modding eventually though, they've been working on making everything accessible via lua for a while.
The Goblin Camp project also started back when DF's UI was atrocious and one of its main aims was to make a df-like that was far more playable via mouse.
Classic DF does have plenty of mods, here's a Goblin Fortress Mod that hasn't been updated in a few years but seems more comprehensive than the ones currently on the Steam Workshop.
