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

Created by The Word Refinery

Koboa is a Tabletop RPG setting for 5e, PF2, and Black Flag created by an all South American team and based on our stories and culture. Due to the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have the best estimates for everyone. We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalized & before we charge your cards in your BackerKit pre-order. We will keep you informed all along the way!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Actualización de Julio
5 months ago – Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 04:22:18 PM

¡Hola!

Este mes les comparto actualizaciones en tres publicaciones, cada una en un idioma distinto: español, inglés, y portugués. Las publicaciones contienen la misma información. Esta es la publicación en español.
 

Cronograma

Lastimosamente, nos estamos demorando más de lo esperado en completar el proyecto. Seguimos trabajando duro para crear un producto de máxima calidad, ya que nos es más importante terminarlo bien de que terminarlo rápido. Sin embargo, nos estamos esforzando por aun así entregarles el producto final lo más pronto posible, ya que estamos emocionadísimos por mostrarles lo que hemos creado.

Nuestras proyecciones finales eran las siguientes:

  • Productos digitales en inglés entregados en octubre de 2024
  • Productos físicos en inglés enviados en febrero de 2025

Nuestras proyecciones nuevas son las siguientes:

  • Productos digitales en inglés entregados en enero de 2025
  • Productos físicos en inglés enviados en mayo de 2025

Recuerden que estas solo son proyecciones - las cosas pueden cambiar, pero el equipo y yo tenemos la esperanza de aún poder terminar temprano (no les prometo nada - no soy brujo y no puedo predecir el futuro).

El texto del libro en inglés necesita estar finalizado antes de que podamos comenzar la localización al español. 

Encuestas

Estamos planificando las áreas en las que nos enfocaremos mientras terminamos la versión de 5e del libro en inglés. Estamos trabajando arduamente en las conversiones a PF2 y Black Flag pero creemos que se demorarán un poco más que la versión de 5e. Hemos creado una encuesta para recibir sus opiniones de lo que más les importa a ustedes y también para determinar cuánto interés existe para las versiones físicas de las diferentes versiones del libro. Les recuerdo que nuestro plan garantizado implica ofrecer libros físicos de Koboa en 5e en inglés y portugués, mientras las otras versiones existirán en formato PDF. Esta encuesta puede ayudarnos a ver si es factible ofrecer libros físicos en otras versiones.

Termino esta publicación con la arte increíble de Edwin Lozano, dándoles una mirada a una ciudad de Novpo en Koboa.

July Update

Hi everyone!

Release Schedule

I apologize it took me this long to get back to you on our new projected release schedule. We've been hard at work to get everything done at maximum levels of quality, even if it means taking a little longer to get it out. I am so excited for you all to get to see it all.

Our original projections for when shipping would start were the following:

  • Digital products would be delivered around October of 2024
  • Physical products would begin shipping around February of 2025

Our updated projections are the following:

  • Digital products will be delivered around January of 2025
  • Physical products will begin shipping around May 2025

Keep in mind that these are projections - myself and the rest of the team very much want to everything we've been working on in your hands as soon as possible, and are hoping we can beat these projections and get things out sooner (no promises though! I'm not psychic). 

Surveys

We are planning out what we will prioritize as we complete the 5e English version of the Koboa setting book. We are hard at work at the PF2 and Black Flag setting books but expect they will be finished after the 5e one. We have made a survey to get input from all of you and see what is most important to you, as well as gauge the interest levels on making more printed products. Remember that currently our guaranteed plan is to offer printed versions of the 5e setting book in English and Portuguese, while everything else will be offered as PDF. This survey will help us decide if we can expand that offering to other version of Koboa. You can enter the survey by clicking here.

Preview

I'll drop you off with more amazing art from Koboa, this time a nice vista of Novpo from Edwin Lozano. Thank you all for your support!

Thanks!

June Update

Hi all!

Sorry for the late monthly update, we have been hard at work getting through the editing pipeline. Each author of the five gazetteer sections has enhanced them with feedback from each of our sensitivity readers and our development readers and the sections are looking really amazing. 

We have a new playtest - the second set of magic items. 

As always, we love feedback.

Hope you all have a great July!

May Update - First PF2 Playtest!
6 months ago – Sun, May 26, 2024 at 03:19:52 PM

Hi everyone! Let's get right to business!

Progress

Not much to report in terms of progress - we are moving steadily along with our updated timeline, getting through editing the content. 

Playtests

I'm excited to be able to share with you our first PF2e playtest for Koboa - the Rhythmatist class. Click here to check it out.

Additionally, we have some more 5e playtests:

Wizard Subclasses

The School of the Lawmage specializes in binding contracts and law magic. They are used by Koboan governments for their complex bureaucracies. 

The School of the Sun and Moon originates from Native mountain Koboan cultures, who were experts in Astronomy. Their understanding of celestial bodies allowed them to harness their powers.

Magic Items Packet 1

11 magic items for you to delight upon.

Art Preview

For today, we have the final illustration from our sets of Pantheons, made by our amazing Art Director Kaithzer.

These are the Elder Serpents, demigods, direct progeny of the deities of the Koboan pantheon.

They are:

  • Vav Ghemka, the Forest Father (Green)
  • Vav Ñaka, the Air Mother (White)
  • Vav Waka, the Water Mother (Blue)
  • Maka Malgh, Hunger Incarnate (Red)
  • Kika, the Mind Devourer (Purple)
  • Jaka, Messenger of the Gods (Brown)

That's it for this month, looking forward to showing you more!
