I feel like elaborating on the story point i made, yes and no.
While the bare bones of the story are the same, the details (the flesh as it were) differs
In "A Goblin's Tale", Vruk starts off entering the village, while monologing that he was the only survivor of his tribe after an orc raiding party attacked. It is also noted that no one trusts goblins do to the high number of males births to female births among goblins, resulting in them seeking out other (sentient) species women to breed.
Here in "Rise of Vruk" we are getting a lot more details, here we get Vruk is the only surviving guardsmens... Guardsgoblin... meh, from a small detachment that was doing search and rescue for a group of missing Miners. Upon arriving near the last known mine site, the group notices problem indicators rising from the main villages direction, which is when they were attacked by a raiding party from there supposed allies the (unknown tribe) Orcs. The guardmen retreat and regroup inside the mine shaft, which revealed the fate of the missing miners, they found a monster den while digging. The monsters are attracted to the fighting, finding & attacking both groups. In the resulting chaos, Vruk escapes, and runs, stumbles into a patrol of Gruardsmen from a neighboring (hostile) nation, and gets chased until he loses them in the forests near our new starting location.
It is also revealed that, Vruk lost village was part of a small goblin nation, that had allied with the same orcs that had attacked his home, to go to war with 2 neighboring human-centric nations, which names currently escape me.
And this is all just the shown backstory for Vruk.
