December Update
over 2 years ago – Wed, Dec 20, 2023 at 07:47:48 AM

Hey all!
 December and the holiday season are upon us. We've made  great progress on making content for Koboa. More and more text goes  through our development pipeline, and we are on our last art wave with  the art assets left in the single digits. 

93% of backerkit polls have been filled out. If you haven't filled yours out yet, we ask you do so when you get the chance.

Playtests

 Expect more playtests to  come as we finish our editing passes for playable text. This month we  have a packet of equipment and of two barbarian subclasses for you to  playtest. Join our discord server to leave your feedback and get the playtests as soon as they are available. 
Get the playtest packet here

Art Preview

 We also have a special art preview from you, a beautiful scene of a joyful day in a park in Koboa.
 Happy December!
 Adrián

October Update!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 05:59:08 AM

Hi all, here is the October update.

Big Bad Con

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!)

Progress

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.

Happy early Día de los Difuntos!

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. 

August Update!

August Update

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 

Community Spotlight

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.

You can support The Eren Chronicles campaign by clicking the “Notify Me” button on their Kickstarter prelaunch page to stay updated and be a part of their adventure!

August Update

Hello, here is our August update!

Playtesting

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.

Character Sheets

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!
