No races? I think odd species would be just gr8.. I'd suggest you also describe Trogods in different tech levels.. how would they work in a SF game..
As they were really created for a very specific fantasy world I never really gave it much thought. I am not even sure they will really work with the common fantasy world.
That is the nice thing about this forum though. Hopefully people can take ideas and go with them. I would be open for any suggestions to make them a better sci-fi fit.

In my opinion they are too much like humans to make a convincing alien species, like for example the Puppeteers or the Trinoc of the Ringworld RPG.
The Goblins following Peruth(the cat) would not be too much different than Kzin; maybe a little smaller and less agressive. I guess it would depend on the type of sci-fi. I couldn't see them working with very realistic techy sci-fi, but with a little work they may fit into space opera or fantasy based scifi like Star Wars.

I am very glad you percieve them this way. I was afraid people may read them as kind of cartoony. In the end though they will can be whatever people want to make of them. I believe I will need some help and advice to port them over to sci-fi and would like to get my hands on the actual Brp book and read the sci-fi stuff before I try.
