Dice Pictures and new Add-ons
over 1 year ago – Tue, May 30, 2023 at 10:54:11 AM

We are nearing the one week mark, and we want to thank you all yet again for your amazing support. We are so excited to share the world of Koboa with the world, and we are so grateful to be given that opportunity. Keep your eyes peeled for more previews as the week goes on!

Want to support Koboa more? Tell your friends about Koboa however you can - retweet us, link the KS, but more importantly, if you are able to, talk about why you are excited about our project.

-----------------------------------------

The home stretch of our campaign is here, and have we got some updates for you!

1) Resin dice pics!

The pictures of the resin dice are in from the factory, and they are gorgeous! 

2) Koboa one-shot adventure

We will be publishing a one-shot adventure for Koboa, called "The Eyes of Hovchu". We have added a new add-on to the campaign to gain access to the PDF of this adventure, which we expect to be 22-26 pages long, including five battle maps and a bunch of unique artwork. We intend for it to be a good starting point for adventuring in Koboa.

3) Give the Gift of Koboa

After seeing it requested several times, we've added an add-on to donate Koboa to people in the Global South. Each time this add-on is purchased, an extra copy of Koboa will be added to a pool of Koboa Community Copies that will be up for grabs from people in the Global South. In this way we hope that economic differences in different parts of the world won't keep anyone from being able to enjoy Koboa.

4) Meet a writer on the team, Anne!

"Hey!  My name is Anne, I'm 25 years old and I'm doing a master's degree in sociology.  I write stories since I was a child, I learned to love listening and telling stories with my maternal grandparents.  I was born and raised in the interior of Pernambuco, in the northeast of Brazil.  I'm of Black and Indigenous descent and I'm very proud of those roots and I've tried to bring some of that to the Koboa universe, creating stories inspired by what my grandparents told me and scenarios based on the places where I grew up.  Hope you enjoy Koboa!"

We'd love to share some love with another Kickstarter!

In Luncheons and Dragonflies, you play a critter, a tiny animal native to the woodlands of Virginia, USA. You can be a mouse, bat, squirrel, or groundhog, to name a few.

Stretch Goal #4! The School of Sun and Moon
over 1 year ago – Sat, May 27, 2023 at 11:42:26 AM

We're so excited to have now unlocked all Subclasses! This means every core class will have two Koboan subclasses in our release.

Please meet the Wizard of the School of Sun and Moon, artwork by Jacqueline Florencio and Pablo Souza.

The old Gosani empire deeply valued learning the sciences. In particular, they had an advanced understanding of astronomy, both as a scientific and a magical area of learning. Their wizards, students of the School of Sun and Moon, used their understanding of the cosmos and the opposing forces of sun and moon to empower their spells. They discovered that all schools of magic exist in four groupings, called directions - Above, Below, Forward, and Backward. These wizards learned that they could empower themselves, and their spells, when they mixed opposing directions of magic - casting a spell from Above could be empowered while concentrating on a spell from Below, for example. They even learned how to concentrate on multiple spells at once, as long as the spells being channeled belonged to opposing directions.

Stretch Goal #3!!!!!!!
over 1 year ago – Mon, May 22, 2023 at 03:20:57 PM

Hey all, this is Dusty, I'm the Social Media Manager behind Koboa and I'm so excited to see how far we've come.   As soon as I learned about Koboa  I was enamored with everything about it. Going into this crowdfunding campaign I was confident with the project, but the outpouring of support is truly incredible, and I can't thank y'all enough for making this project a reality. Can't wait to crush the rest of the stretch goals.

Spirits of all kinds and shapes exist in Koboa. Some are the spirits of the dead, helping the living or haunting them. Others are the spirits of the elements of nature - forest spirits, spirits of mountains and volcanoes, spirits of individual rocks and flowers.   The Spirit Tracker Ranger makes a bond with one such spirit. They become partners in a shared goal. The powers of the spirit allow the ranger sight into the spectral realms, seeing what is otherwise invisible.
