First of all welcome to HQ!
My home chapter is in HQ, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Goblin stamps are a compensation for time spent or items donated when real cash cannot be given out.
First there is time:
You can earn Goblin Stamps for helping to set up NPC camp, help Logistics cut tags, help set up the tavern and guilds, or any other pre-event things that need to be done.
NPCing is also a great way to earn stamps. Plus you can play as different characters from a goblin to a townsperson to a fire elemental.
Then the items:
Usually items are dollar for dollar.
For example, you buy juice for the tavern that costs $10 total, you'll get 10 goblin stamps.
You can donate drinks and food to the tavern, food and drink for NPC camp, materials for making weapons (PVC pipe, duct tape, etc.) stuff to make clothing, spell and arrow packets, makeup and accessories.
Really just about anything you think HQ needs to run an event comfortably and easily, you can donate
There are some things that might be desparately needed. In this case, you will receive even more stamps.
Now the big question you are probably asking yourself: What can I do with these stamps?
You can buy back a resurrection beyond the two freebies, use the stamps like Production Points to buy armor, weapon, alchemy, potion, scroll, or trap tags, and buy event or monthly blankets to boost your character's BP
For me I usually buy potions using the stamps or do monthly blankets since there are times when I cannot come to an event.
I know this seems like alot of things.
Do you have a Rule Book?
If so, everything I said can be found there. (check pages 165-166)
Sometimes Logistics or other staff people will post saying they desparately need stuff, so watch out for those posts too.
Happy gaming!
