time to answer a bunch more asks about Sweet Pea, Nettle, and DnD! Jesus christ, you guys (gender-neutral, affectionate). Leading with a couple asks about food, because now it’s on my mind…
@demnted-dwarf-wizard An average human would be a lot— I think it would take a few gnolls to finish one of those. (j/k j/k)
I think they generally do eat a bit more than an average human, because they’re generally larger creatures than an average human. A terrible, insatiable appetite is part of their monstrous reputation, and there’s some truth to it; they’re built to survive harsh conditions, so they can eat a lot at once if they want to. Ask Nettle about the time Sweet Pea discovered pasta. (Or don’t.) But many clans, like Sweet Pea’s, live in balance with the ecosystem around them, not hunting more than what animal populations can replenish. And every part of what they hunt is eaten or used in some way, like in making tools or clothes– absolutely nothing is wasted.
They’re hunters first and scavengers second, just like real spotted hyenas, but they don’tmindscavenging. If other people think that’s “gross” because they can’t appreciate the flavors and smells of carrion and aren’t constitutionally strong enough to eat it, that’s on them.
I can see gnolls living in towns and cities being very into dumpster-diving. It’s amazing, what some places just throw out.
@kinsey3furry300 this whole thing is so cute and interesting that I’ve been hoarding it. I never knew you could gather ant larvae that way! SP is really the one who’s more knowledgeable about outdoorsy survival stuff, although Nettle knows things, too. She’s very good at identifying mushrooms.
nettle. ✅
she’s a little over 6 feet tall! Most of that is neck. My gnolls have long necks and torsos, and proportionally short legs.
a little guy! My first impulse was to be like, “wait, aren’t kitsune a thing?” but kitsune are different and special and they’re their own thing. I hope you can convince your DM to let you be a little tiny big-eared fox guy.
@kittysune2000 I love all the different kinds of furries and monsters you can be in DnD and Pathfinder (and beyond). Letting people just be creatures is so great. I love ratfolk, they sound adorable– and I also love kobolds! A oneshot I played recently with some work friends actually went off the rails when our party got ambushed by a couple kobolds and, instead of killing them like the DM expected us to, we took them prisoner to act as our guides through a gem mine, asked them their life stories, and encouraged their fellow kobold minions to revolt against their mean manager. Afterwards, we set them free with a gem each and encouraged them to look for better jobs. Godspeed, little guys.
I’ve also seen a couple examples of people making mimicsinto PCs, and that’s delightful. Any little minor enemy monster getting to be a main character is my jam.
I don’t own any 5e books (yet)! My secret is having friends who do own books who will loan them to me, and a DM who sends his players PDFs of books he wants us to read.
Delve into the mines and dwarven halls of Mount Ottermack, a peak riddled with tunnels and history… and kobolds!
Welcome to Mt. Ottermack, a mountain with a rich history. Once, a mighty colony of dwarves lived here, but they met with great misfortune. Now, a dragon is trapped in the mountain, and its kobold followers torment a mining town at the base. Does your region have some mountains in need of intrigue? Do your players like delving into abandoned settlements? Then this article is for you…
We hope you enjoy this write-up, or at least find use for its maps, tokens, and rollable table! We are always aiming to make our adventures and locations easy to break down into reusable parts. Please enjoy!
The Isabelle the Elf hugging Kira the kobold and she wants no part of it. Althouh it also looks like she is holding Kira back from killing somenone. Hahaha!
Alazak has been helping me with charcter designs and story brainstormimg for kobold express. This is a drawing he did a while ago but held off sharing it since I hadn’t announced it yet. Thanks buddy.
Trading Costumes. A fun art I did with my Mo'Cha and @christomancer’s Kira .
Kira looks cute in your style with mo'cha’s clothes! Alazak has been helping me with charcter designs and story brainstormimg for kobold express. This is a drawing he did a while ago but held off sharing it since I hadn’t announced it yet. Thanks buddy.
Sorry for the lack of comics lately, been a mix of being so busy lately and the most recent Derpy comic fighting me for various different reasons. Also my tablet has some dead spots on it now and doing line art has been kind frustrating lately. Haven’t had time to deal with it.
So instead of Derpy stuff today I figured its way past time to up date you all on the Kobold Project I have been working on. There is good news and bad news. TL;DR at the bottom
The Bad News (Koigzist Kobold Comic) The original Kobold Comic I was working on with a friend has been put on an indefinite hiatus. To put a long story short, the friend and I have had creative differences in the project and the friend also has some personal stuff come up in his life so the brakes have been put on it. Maybe we will come back to it, maybe not, but for now it has been shelved. Sorry for those of you who were looking forward to it. I was too.
The Good News (Kobold Express Comic) I have decided to work on an entirely new Kobold Comic project. And to be brutally honest I’m far more excited for this one! Above is the concept art that has been done on the project so let me know what you all think! Here is the synopsis of the comic:
Kobold Express Long ago dragons ruled the sky, reeking havoc on the Skyland’s of the world. In their hubris, the Dragons created a slave race of Kobolds to do their bidding. However, the kobolds lamenting their fate, rebelled against and nearly wiped out the dragons. In a last ditch attempt to survive, the last of the dragons created a magical storm, The Maelstrom, preventing travel between the Skylands. 100 years have passed and the Maelstrom has ended. With the sky now free to travel, the Skylands try to relearn to make airships to travel the world again.
Kira, a young kobold merchant raised by humans, finds a magical airship and goes on an adventure seeking fame, fortune, and alliances with the world! But are the dragons truly gone? Or are their other powers that now rule the sky? And most importantly, can Kira and her friends steer clear of trouble?
Anyway hopefully that sounds interesting for you all without spoiling the plot too much. Still super early in the planning stage so everything is up to change between now and when the comic goes live.
Also special shout out to @alazak! Although this is 100% my project. unlike the other Kobold comic from before, he has been helping me by being an awesome friend to spitball ideas with and to help with concept art. His art is up above too, it is the last image of concept art in the group! Make sure you go and check out his Tumblr and give him a follow. He also might be working on his own new project that he has yet to announce, so lots of new stuff coming your way! Hopefully you all enjoy it!
TL;DR Sorry no Derpy comic today; Old Kobold Comic on Hiatus; New Kobold Express Comic is in Progress!
