Kobold Love: Interlude 1, The Posse is building

August 28, 2008 by The Chatty DM

My Kobold Love adventure plan post goes up at 20h00 EST tonight.

While we wait, I thought I’d share the names of participants who officially joined the ‘hack/test Chatty’s adventure’ part of the Project:

Cross-System Hacking:

  • Greywulf joined to do it in his own Microlite20.
  • Dave T. Game joined, hinting about d20Modern.
  • Fang Langford joined to do it using his own Scattershot RPG.
  • Brent P. Newhall is pondering about doing it in his own Giant Robot RPG Gunwave. So Cool!.
  • walkerp is very tempted to join and do it for Savage Worlds.
  • Steven T Helt, the Iron DM, joined to do it in Pathfinder Beta.
  • Lex Moxgrove joined with a yet undefined system.
  • Felonius is pondering about joining and use Burning Wheel
  • Dr. Checkmate joined to do it in Savage Worlds
  • DanVoyce joined to do it in Seven Leagues
  • MadBrew joined to do it in White Wolf’s Storyteller

Play Testing:

  • Shane Cottom (Co-writer of the Ascension of the Drow) accepted to be a playtester DM
  • Reverend Mike accepted to playtest as a DM (Still room for one).

In fact, I may offer a prize for the playtest reports. Stay tuned.

Now just so we’re clear, I do not ask you guys to go to the end. I know how much work an adventure can be. The Final Prize (the 30$ Certificate and the Chainmaille bag) will go to someone who finishes it, but I’ll consider anyone that gives the project an honest attempt for the 2 participatory prizes.

Plus I expect people to jump in after the next post (Adventure Plan) as I bet people with different ideas will want to tackle it differently.

See you tonight…

    If I wasn’t working on something already, I’d be all over this one too. I love the concept and would probably do it in 3.5e…but alas…time doesn’t permit 🙁

    That’s all rigth Tom.

    I’ll appreciate your input and participation during the project… then maybe I can goad you in supporting the final product and/or the next project.

    In need of playtesters you say?…

    I’ll throw my bonnet into the ring…

    I’m currently learning the Burning Wheel system, and I’m debating trying to do this in that… I need to look over the books and figure out how much work it would be (need make some lifepaths for the Kobolds, to start), and then figure how much time I have…

    My usual group is currently on a hiatus, so I may have more time than I would have originally thought…

    Can’t wait to see the adventure plan.

  5. Dave T. Game says

    August 28, 2008 at 10:22 am

    I am mysterious!

    But I’m leaning towards d20 Modern. I have a different trope in mind for the structure…

    Post updated! Plus I’m adding a Play testing prize…. I’ll find something… I still have that Planescape 2e Box sitting on my desk.

  7. Reverend Mike says

    August 28, 2008 at 11:01 am

    Sweet…I had considered hacking for Star Wars…but then I thought, Kobolds + Star Wars = I has lost suspension of disbelief…

    Hmm…Jawas…

    Dammit, now I’m tempted to throw my hat in…

    I seriously suggest you wait for tonight’s post before going the Jawas way…

    Ewwww.

    Then again…

    🙂

    Hey! Who you callin’ a pussy?

    Oh… posse….. ok then.

    Oddly enough I’ve got a Star Wars 4e posted lined up and waiting in the wings too. Laser Clerics. I blame them 😀

    Hmm…yes, perhaps Jawas are a bad idea…they never have been the staple of the genre…

    Ewoks are where it’s at…Ewoks are the cuddly kobolds of the Star Wars galaxy…

    Reverend Mikes last blog post.."Happy Birthday!"…"I know."…

    August 28, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    Oh…. that’s just wonderful!

    I mean Throw some Gungans in this and you’ll have a Tropey Ewok’s revenge adventure!

  12. Storyteller says

    August 28, 2008 at 12:47 pm

    There’s a very good chance I might hop on this bandwagon. My hiatus is coming to an end, and this sounds like too much fun to pass up. If I have the time, I’ll toss my hat into the ring with White Wolf’s classic Adventure! setting.

    Storytellers last blog post..This battle is too hard! This battle is too easy! This battle is juuuust right!

  13. Reverend Mike says

    August 28, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    Ah…the Gungans would be a lot more likely to be targeted for attack by shady guys in cantinas…perhaps they should be the main focus…

    There are so many horrid directions I can go, it’s delicious…

    @Chatty: You can count on my comments and input! So far though, I’m loving the switch on a staple RPG trope. This should be fun!

    August 28, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    I’ve put out a call to arms on the Microlite20 forums. Gonna make this a collaborative thang.

    Not that it isn’t collaborative already of course 😀

  16. ChattyDM says

    August 28, 2008 at 4:37 pm

    @ Greywulf: Nested and/or Recursive Collaboration! yay!

    @Tom: Right on!

  17. Fang Langford says

    August 28, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    Hey! You didn’t link my name to scattershotgames.com

    And when I said I’d ‘do it’ in Scattershot, I meant a full supplement with rules and charts and everything…full publishing rights to you.

    @Fang: Corrected. I appreciate you offering me stuff Fang but that’s not what I ask for. Let’s have fun with the project and see where it gets us. Of course if you insist on giving me the adventure well I’ll make sure to put it to good use.

    Thanks!

    Felonius;
    If you want to use Burning Wheel, do read Monster burner. It is somewhat useful. Here’s a relevant thread from their forums: http://burningwheel.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3075. I think the kobolds live in pages 3 and 5, though I am not absolutely sure.

    This seemed like the best place to throw my hat in the ring.

    I’m in with Savage Worlds.

    I’m surprised no one has chimed in with Risus yet.

    @ Dr. Checkmate: Updated with your name in it.

    It would be cool to get S. John Ross to tackle it… I mean stating it for Risus will take about 10 minutes.

    And Skill challenges can definitively be used as is as Clichés rolls.

    Wolfgang Baur proposed Toon on his site.
