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!

Hi all, here is the October update.
Several members of the Koboa team were able to attend. I (Adrián Mejía) was present, as were Dusty, Shawn, Elizabeth, Ben and Daniel. We got to share a meal together and talk life, Koboa, and a few different cultural customs.
It was great, we also got to make several connections and gather information that will hopefully help us make Koboa the biggest baddest setting we can.
It was also very tiring. (Shawn here! THIS IS A MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT! WE ARE ALL INTROVERTS!)
We've steadily been making our way through more text and more art commissions. We've started a series of two-page art spread commissions, one for each of the five territories of Koboa, which from the current drafts will look gorgeous in a hardcover book.
With this holiday we celebrate in Ecuador, I thought I'd share with you one of our (still going through editing) spells that we designed for Koboa - Commune with Ancestors
3rd-level necromancy
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (ritual food to offer the contacted ancestor)
Duration: 5 minutes
Classes: Bard, Cleric
You touch a creature and give it the ability to talk with one of their ancestors.
The target must name a dead creature and must be within 30 feet of the creature’s remains or one of its possessions. The target must be connected to the chosen creature in some way, whether by ancestry or family history. If these requirements are not fulfilled the spell fails. The target is able to talk to the named creature from beyond the grave for the duration of the spell. The ancestor is not magically compelled to give any information or assist the target. Once a creature has contacted a particular person with this spell, they can’t contact the same person for one year.

I've had some amazing roleplay moments with this spell in my playtesting games, and hope it will facilitate some poignant character moments in your games as well.
Hi all,
Adrián reporting in for our August update. The whole team has been hard at work to make an amazing book, and I'm happy to say that about 90% of the text of our project has been submitted and is going through the editing process! We're hoping to have a playtest for forms soon, including the 3 extra forms that were unlocked through stretch goals.
As for art, I'd say we have about 50% of the art for the project done, and working hard to get it to 100%! We've made a major wave of commissions recently and I am extremely excited to see the artwork that comes out of it. For now, I'll leave you with a sneak peek at the latest art submitted for our Warlock subclass: The Elder Serpent Patron. This spectacular art is by @cosmicamazn
We'd also like to spotlight another cool project, EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos, a book to turn any 5e campaign into a mythic saga through Mythic Paths and many player and DM options!
EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos is a 5e supplement with epic-level content for all tiers of 5th edition, made by the indie team Eren Chronicles!
Within its 𝟐𝟓𝟎+ 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 this compendium will allow you to follow the paths of 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬, forge your own Legacy, gain power beyond measure and eventually, draw the ire of your direct counterpart; a formidable 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬.

Hello, here is our August update!
We've been making great progress on preparing a series of playtest packets for all of y'all. The different player options such as new forms, subclasses, classes, etc. have been making their way down our editing pipeline. Today I'd like to kick off our first playtest with two unique Koboan classes, the Bruje and the Rhythmatist. You can access them here
Please let us know what you think on our discord. Alternatively, we will be creating a form you can fill out anonymously in a couple of weeks to get feedback. We're hoping to get some of the subclasses we've been working on in a playtest packet next month.
We've got Koboa character sheets! These are designed by Francita Soto. Check them out here and let us know what you think!
That's it for previews right now! We're working hard on writing and art commissions, and will have more previews and playtests to give you in the months to come!
Adrián
Hi everyone! We are up to 80% responses on our surveys! Thank you so much for your help getting these filled out nice and quickly, and I ask that if you haven't had a chance to do yours yet that you do so as soon as you can!
In the meantime, here's a little sneak peak of some art we've been working on for the companion adventure!
Legendary Games is running a Kickstarter for the 5e project titled Mediterranean Monsters & Mythology.
