Koboa: The South American 5e, PF2 and Black Flag Setting

October 2026 Update

Hi all!

Physical Products

I believe I mentioned last month that the print order is currently being manufactured for books, gm screens, standees, and card sets. That is still ongoing. We have maps, pins, and resin dice on hand. There was a mixup with the gemstone dice but I expect they'll be ready before or shortly after the print things. Books are predicted to be done in a few weeks, and then we just have to see how long they take to ship to our headquarters, at which point we will be working nonstop to get physical things fulfilled.

5e Spanish Translation

Heard from our Spanish translators, who are hard at work getting the Spanish version of things done. 

Portuguese Translation and Brazil Fulfillment

Not too much to update you on here for now, will have more news shortly we hope!

Black Flag PDF

We are laying this one out, should be ready in a few weeks hopefully!
 

PF2 PDF

We have a draft of most of the creatures done. Progress is really slow right now and I apologize for that, unfortunately this conversion is proving more costly than originally anticipated and we've had to slow development down while we deal with physical product fulfillment.

That's it for now! As I mentioned earlier I'll keep doing monthly updates but there's a good chance there won't be much to update y'all on for now. Thank you for your patience and I'll let you know as soon as we're ready to fulfill on physical products! Keep your eyes out for the BF PDF!

Hi Everyone!

Big news! We made our manufacturing order!!! A whole bunch of books will start getting made soon. For the most part, the whole process is now out of our team's hands until I get the shipment, at which point I'll immediately start fulfilling all physical orders. In the meantime, updates won't have too much to talk about. We're getting ready for a follow-up project for Koboa to get started on once this one is fulfilled and ready. I got test prints of all the stuff and it. Looks. GOOD. I'm trying to work on my photography skills to get nice pictures to show it off.

Plans and preparations for the Brazilian version of Koboa continue with our Brazil partners. We are now working on layout out a 5e version of "The Eyes of Hovchu", the introductory adventure, to get the PDF out to anyone who added the introductory adventure to their rewards once fulfillment is going on. 

We've submitted the files needed to Alchemy and Shard to get VTT modules out on both those platforms. How long that'll take is up to the good people at Alchemy and Shard, but stay tuned!

Our spanish translation team is also hard at work getting the translation done. It may take a while but we'll get that done. 

We would still love to hear your feedback on the big book PDF. Join our discord or leave us a note please!

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late update, was out on a family vacation. Feeling energized and ready to get this project out the door!

Exciting update, we have ordered a test print of the physical 5e book and are awaiting it getting made and shipped. After it arrives we will look it over to see if there's any modifications that need to be done, and then will order the print order! 

Right now all our files are basically done, we'll hopefully not need to edit them at all. At this point we just need to wait on the manufacturing and shipping process, after which we will start fulfillment.

Hi all!

We updated the PDF with bookmarks, you should be able to find it on backerkit.

Pins and dice are on their way, cloth maps are safe and sound with me, and we're finalizing the design files for standees, card deck, and gm screen. Hopefully we'll get the manufacture order done in the next couple of weeks.

PF2 conversion is underway, with a focus on converting creature stat blocks. ToV conversion is still going through an editing pass, I'm considering releasing a pre-edit-pass beta doc if y'all are wanting to see it. 

We've had slower progress in the past month than we'd like. People on the team have had technical issues (computers breaking down), and I personally had some life things come up which caused a lot of anxiety and gave me very little time or mental energy to focus on this project (things are getting better though!). 

Thank you all for your support!

Hi all!

We've been hearing from y'all what you think of the PDF and we're deeply grateful for all your feedback. We love to hear your stories of the characters you've created and the elements from the Koboa book you've integrated into your games! Keep it coming!

We've been getting the files for the physical products ready. The pins and map are ready to go into production, as are the dice. The book file is undergoing final revision and we're finishing up our files for the GM screen, reference cards, and standees. 

Meanwhile the full ToV conversion is finished and undergoing an editing pass. PF2 is going a bit slower, as some snags have come up, but progress continues. 

We'd love to see your thoughts on social media! feel free to tag us, we're excited to keep seeing everything you say about Koboa!
