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!

Hello hello!
Adrián here for your February update. This month, we bring you a three more playtests:
We welcome feedback via our discord server or a direct e-mail: [email protected]
We are hard at work, with no other major updates regarding our projected releases. Carnival just happened and that kept probably over half the team occupied with the holiday. However, I have a nice preview for you, an illustration showing how Koboans might see the Koboan pantheon of gods.
Here you'll see, left to right:
Deities of Kaboa, the overworld:
- Jul, the zealous sun, the light of truth
- Kamau, the sky jaguar huntress
- Hovchu, the logical, calculating, moon
Deities of Koboa, the material world:
- Jatel, the laughing storm
- Vavkob, mother stone
- Veng, the weaver
- Mangavi, the uniter
Deities of Kiboa, the underworld:
- Hegh, the caretaker of the dead
- Manghom, the imprisoned, raging, earth.
Until next time friends!

Hello everyone! We hope 2024 is going quite well for you all!
As a reminder, if you haven't filled in your survey yet please do so, it would be a huge help if we can reach 100% on those.
Development Status
We are pleased to report we have 100% of the text for the Koboa Core Book in our editing/sensitivity review pipeline now. Artwork assetsare at around 95% submitted and finalized. I'm constantly blown away by what is being produced for this book, and hope you all love it as much as I have been. Development has slowed down a bit due to the holidays and some personal issues the team has dealt with. I myself have had some family medical situations to attend to, and expect that I won't be getting too much Koboa stuff done for about a month or so. However, editing, layout, and art production continue.
Localization and Conversion
I'm also pleased to report that we have started out localization work to get the text of the book into Spanish, as well as converting our finalized 5e designs to Pathfinder 2e. We will hopefully have a new PF2 class ready for playtesting in the near future. We will start conversion to Black Flag soon as well. For the Portuguese localization of Koboa, we intend to work with a partner in Brazil to get the book localized and produced as nicely as possible and will hopefully have news soon.
Playtesting
Playtesting progresses, we've taken the feedback we've gotten from some of our playtest packets and are applying it to make adjustments. This month we have two new playtests for you to look at:
Playtest Packet 4 contains two Druid subclasses, the Circle of the Feral and the Circle of the Sacred Transformation, as well as the Spells used by the second subclass. Most of these spells were in our spells playtest, but I'd like to note Earth to Flesh as a new spell. Access it here.
Playtest Packet 5 contains two Bard subclasses, the College of the Storyteller and the College of Guardianship. Access it here.
We hope you enjoy the designs we've been making, and if you have any comments at all you can email us at [email protected] or join our Discord Server where you can get the playtests earlier and interact with the community.
Art!
As always, I'll leave you with an art preview I am particularly excited about, this time art for the College of the Storyteller Bard Subclass by Lucas Nascimento.
Can't wait to hear what you think,
Adrián Mejía
