There are soo many skirmish games out there that your system is yet another one in that big stack of potential.
I’d grab Dragon Rampant or Verrotwood or The Weald (as featured in the XLBS) …

So far the only ‘unique’ thing is the spore patches spawning gobbos …
As such you need to think of a gimmick/concept that makes your system more interesting.

What makes Gobbos unique from regular skirmishers ?
Any fun twists like unique scoring mechanics that work on the unique nature of Gobbos ?
Odd weapons or regular weapons with a unique gobbo-feature?

You mention ‘spores’ … how is that related to the setting and is there a way to get that concept into the gameplay/rules ?

Why are the gobbos fighting ?
Do they fight themselves or is there another enemy that hinders them in their quest for world domination?

Any dwarves ?
