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:

August Update
about 3 years ago – Thu, Aug 17, 2023 at 08:38:57 AM

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!

over 3 years ago – Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 03:14:18 PM

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!

Community Spotlight

Legendary Games is running a Kickstarter for the 5e project titled Mediterranean Monsters & Mythology.  Researched and developed with a diverse team of authors, artists, and  cultural consultants, you'll find an awesome array of enemies and allies  from Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sardinia, Malta, Algeria, Tunisia,  and Libya, beautifully illustrated and ready to unleash in your DnD 5E  campaign.

Legendary Games are also the publishers of Boricubos, a setting based on Caribbean cultures and people, containign a bestiary with a bunch of creatures based on latin american stories. This book is out, and you can buy it and play with it in their backerkit store. Boricubos is available for Pathfinder and 5e.

All Surveys Sent, PF2 hardcover
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jul 05, 2023 at 04:39:49 AM

Hi all! Letting you know that all surveys should have been sent to you by now - if you haven't received an email asking you to fill out a survey, please check your spam filter, and if you still can't find it please reach out to us at [email protected]


PF2 Hardcovers

Throughout the campaign we received many requests to include PF2 hard covers as a product. We've decided to use Backerkits stretch goal system to try and do it - if we can receive 200 pledges for the PF2 hardcover, we will produce them. Otherwise, if you pledge for a PF2 book but we do not receive at least 200 pledges, we will not charge you for the PF2 book and we will not produce the hardcover. 


That's it for updates for now, please be sure to fill out your surveys and enjoy your July!

Hi all!

Thank you so much again for such an amazing Kickstarter. We wanted to update you on a few topics.

Backerkit Surveys

Fulfillment of orders will be made through Backerkit. We are busy getting the surveys ready, and you should hopefully start seeing them shortly after the funds clear from Kickstarter. We will be sending another update when the surveys start. Once you get your survey you'll be able to modify your pledge or pledge for more add-ons, if you'd like.

Late Pledges

If you know people who missed out on the campaign, they can make late pledges on our Backerkit late-pledge store!
