Sure sounds like it.......

Goblins are jerks. Don't ever let them tell you otherwise.

from what I can tell, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes is pronounced by Chris Perkins and Kate Welch

Is there a guide out there for Goblin gangs and hordes? Like, hierarchy, organization, and social life? 

Do goblins have advantages in groups? 

Are goblins playable characters in dnd?

They are indeed playable characters in D&D

YES, you can learn stuff like that in volo's guide to monsters

 They don't normally have group advantages, but if you use flanking rules they can, and hobgoblins deal an extra 2d6 damage to enemies that are already engaged. 
It can also be fun to create your own stuff, like a tribe of goblins that emphasize teamwork, or add a new goblin type. Goblin Ambusher, Goblin Swarmer. If you've got a mind for it toss them into your campaign, and if you're not the DM talk to your DM about ideas you have for stuff like that.

Yes always remember that these rules are meant as a guide not as immutable fact. Just go in with what you think sounds great but knowing that you may have to adjust on the fly to maintain team economics and balance of action and abilities.

Remember, a vote for Sam Riegel is a vote against goblin rights! With Sam Riegel as D&D Beyond President, there will be no hope for goblin rights. Help spread awareness and fight for the rights goblins deserve. Support on Twitter or Support on Tumblr!

Sam Reigel's anti-goblin record is a travesty and goblins everywhere should mobilize in favor of his opponent in the race for D&D Beyond President, Liam O'brien.

 Also Goblins are a playable race for the game. I am pretty sure Volo's Guide to monsters has both Hobgoblin and the basic goblin with their stats and everything.

does anyone read legend of drizzt?

I do!!!!

anybody else???

I get the impression (perhaps inevitably fueled by JRR Tolkien) that goblins are nocturnal critters. But D&D doesn't particularly harp on this.

How do most people play them? Do they only come out at night (when they can help it)? Do they suffer disadvantage under the light of the sun? They have a big advantage with darkvision; seems only right to give them disadvantage to lots of things if they venture out during the day.

I understand this is open to interpretation and I can do whatever I want in my own game, but I was just curious w the larger community handles thinks.

*reminesces* I slashed a goblin's throat in Waterdeep, once.

dQuote from ShaydyCharacter >>

A shield and a shortbow, will have to make a note to have them juggle equipment.

 I was just noticing this, as a novice DM. I'm assuming that a Goblin attacking with a shortbow should be treated as AC 13 instead of the AC 15 in the stat block unless they later use an action to don the shield.
