While I can't say there is no possibility Dragon's Crown has influence on Goblin Slayer book, i would say it's highly unlinkely. Goblin Slayer is based on Pen&Paper RPG games, heavily influenced by D&D.

Here is quotation from afterword from oficial translation (Kadokawas bookwalker.com) Goblin Slayer Volume 1 light novel:

Speaking of incredible things:

''There is a type of game referred to as tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) or "pen and paper RPGs", because you play them with a pen, paper, and dice. I have played tabletop RPGs for more than ten years now and will continue to play them for the foreseeable future - and here I've gotten to write a novel about them. My debut novel, no less. If I were to go back in time and tell my younger self this was how things would go, he would never believe me."''

I don't remember reading anywhere in any of the volumes afterword admiting that author does play computer games, but haven't doublechecked that.

Edit: If I just have read afterword till end:

"..thank you to...  To Steve Jackson, Ian Livingstone, Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Ukyou Kodachi and Kiyomune Miwa. Sorcery!, Dungeon & Dragons, and Chaos Flare change my life."

I think we can safely assume those games and authors are main influence on novel.
