Ahoy! I've been working on a Maptool framework lately to make it easy to play Kobolds Ate My Baby, a light game system where you play kobolds stealing babies and being killed by chickens.



I'd like to invite anyone to come play soon (possibly even tonight if this gets attention) using a simple town, to give the system a go. I'll be hosting a Maptool server (via Hamachi if need be) and ideally we'll also use Skype at the same time (or Vent or Teamspeak if everyone prefers and someone can set up a server).

You can find a copy of the rulebook here. Please don't read past page 21 as that contains some details on the game I'll be running. You don't need to worry about generating a character - I have macros set up that will roll the dice and tell you what you got - but do make sure you have a general feel for how the game works.

I, personally, am free for roughly the next 6 hours or so, or Sunday evening (UK time) or any time Monday or Tuesday.

So let me know if you're interested, when you're free, and if you have any other questions!

Bumping! I want to play this

[Dwarmin]

This sounds fun!

I'll see if I can get all those chat programs.

Edit: I won't be able to play on Skype, if we decide that.


aaaand, my speakers are broken. Baaaaw... *runs away*

[Samthere]

No headphones of any type?

From my quick skim of the rules, it's essentially a series of d6's that are modified by the difficulty and your skill, plus some extraneous environmental things... I'm in for a game.

[Samthere]

Yeah, a skill check is successful if (Nd6<Stat) where N is the difficulty. Other than that the only things you really need to know in advance:

> you take death checks when you fail or act unkoboldly and you have to roll to see if you die horribly whenever you get them (2d6+checks gained>12)

> you start with 4 specific edges and bogies in addition to the ones you roll for (pages 6+7)

> OPTIONAL: you can pick an alignment randomly or otherwise (page 13)

> you earn victory points from doing stuff and can spend them during a game (page 17)

> there are a few other rules (like saying ALL HAIL KING TORG and being able to sing drinking songs to make the GM redo something) (page 20)

[Evergod41]

Shamefully, the only drinking song I know is the one created on this here forum...

[Samthere]

It's fine, it basically says it can be anything with the words "beer" and "kobold" in it; nobody has to be singing the same song, even, they just all have to sing at once!

just read the rules, sounds fun

[Samthere]

Okay, when are people available to play?
All times are in UK time, which is currently UTC/GMT +1 (thus I write this at 0040).
I could do it at pretty much any of the following times:
> Sunday 1930-0100
> Monday 1300-0100
> Tuesday 1300-0100
> A later date

[Evergod41]

Well, school just let out for summer, so, I'm pretty much available anytime.

[Samthere]

Alright, so we're waiting to hear on taco and anyone else who'd like to join.
Won't be actively watching this thread the next couple days as I'm at a LAN.

[elitetaco3519]

i can do it anytime, just not sunday maybe,

[Samthere]

Alright, how about this Monday at my 8:00pm?
UTC/GMT: 7:00pm
EST: 2:00pm
PST: 12:00pm

[Evergod41]

Fine by me, now just to get things ready in 2 hours.
