Kobold's Quest Lets Players Steal Babies, Collect Their Skulls

[ChroniclerC]

So... we're making a gritty version of [a href=http://www.koboldsatemybaby.com/]Steve Jackson[/a] games?
All hail king Torg!

All hail King Torg!

Looks cute and silly. I'll have to keep an eye on this. And yes Plugav, Kobolds Ate My Baby as fun as it sounds.

sounds fun looks meh serously someone thinks we will pay for those graphics needs at least some serous polishing

 

[Black Watch]

Sounds like my Saturday night...

 

[Kakashi on crack]

I could make a long post about the intricacies of this, but I'll leave it at...

I want it!

This reminded me of Dwarf Fortress. Bloody baby snatchers... And theives...

I loved the narrator's voice. Also, the game looks like a pretty amusing take on Kobolds.

Kobolds Ate My Baby!, the tabletop role-playing game about noseless kobolds gathering babies to feed their commander so he doesn't eat them instead.

Is it as fun as it sounds?

Like a thousand times moreso, actually. It's got some of the greatest novelty rules I've seen in 12 years of gaming.

Kinda tired of the pretentious crap shoved into indie... anything I guess, not just games, purely to get attention. Then again it could just as easily have been a joke between the creators... still too common though.

Also the game looks like a *slower* New Super Mario Bros. vs mode.

... If they release it for iPod I'll buy it.

Yea, though i wont hold my breath...

It's a little dark, but in reality Kobolds do eat babies, so that's life.

I want to see Kobolds eating babies in reality, really.

Reminds me of the "Kobold's Ate My Baby" mini pack-game that used to be a staple of brick and mortar PnP RPG shops ... it also reminds me somewhat of Tom Proudfoot's work (which I never tried, but remember hearing about).

Well, hello, rip-off of Kobolds Ate My Baby!, the tabletop role-playing game about noseless kobolds gathering babies to feed their commander so he doesn't eat them instead. How's tricks?

That was the first thing I thought of too...

 

[Amondren]

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out.

As for this game, I don't own an XBox, so...

Makes me wonder if the folks that created "Kobold's Ate My Baby" know about this obvious rip off of their property. I dropped one of the creators of the original game a note on Twitter, so we'll see. Hopefully SuckerFree at least talked to the original creators before using their work. If the SuckerFree guys are simply copying it shows a lack of class and creativity. I'd enjoy hearing from SuckerFree regarding their source material. The is no mention of them or the source material on their indiegogo funding page.

Perhaps the article author could follow up?

Also, the pen and paper game is a riot. All Hail King Torg!

Wow. I've never heard of this before.

Well, I did, and it was called "Kobolds Ate My Baby." Ahem.

I think I need to chat with Chris and Dan...

Glad to see your post here, John.

Not so glad to see this project was news to you.

Just spoke with Chris, one of the creators of Kobolds Ate My Baby. And no, he'd never heard of this, either.
