If someone was interested in this project and was offended by that they really have no idea what the hell they were interested. Fuck them. Fuck Columbus.

KOKOTÖNA Pre-launch LIVE 📌|E💀C @elchupalabras.itch.io · 16h

Hey #TTRPGCommunity! Less than a week until the #Kickstarter for #KOKOTÖNA goes live, so for this #WIPWednesday I'd like to share with you some old concept art and text from way back when the #TTRPG was early in development!

#RPGLatAm

Reddit screenshot of a post dated more than 2 years ago.

The title reads: I'm working on a Mörk Borg compatible Mesoamerican inspired setting called KOKO◈TÖNA, I am gonna start sharing little bits of lore and content here and on the game's Twitter! Hope you like it!

The image shows an aztec style glyph in red on a black background with the text: Years of Ceremonial Flower Wars have reduced the continet-spanning Teotekan Empire to ashes. Tez-Kozamalotl, Huei'Tlatoani, supreme ruler of the seven imperial tribes has succumbed to the madness of embarking into Likland, the accursed eastern continent, and sacrificing the True Thieves of the Flesh as the final offering to Huei'Huei-Naktokatl's ancient bargain. He crawls out of his Temple-Palace, a rotting husk of skin and bones. He coldly snatches a blood-obsidian knife and plunges it into his own chest, ripping his still-beating heart out. He devours it whole then smashes it under the glare of Huei'Huei-Metzhuotl's blood-red moon. As blood gushes from his mouth, he flashes a maniacal grin and addresses his followers, issuing a final command: KOKOTÖNA

She is a fool. The puzzles she has spent years trying to solve are missing pieces. And even if these pieces were found, would she be able to repair them? Or would the cracks trace their way from the past into the future?

#Mörktober Day 7: Shard

Cyathea, Healer of Potshards

Obsessive collector of fragments from broken civilizations. She believe these are clues left behind by the clay giants of the north and by piecing them back together she will be able to stave off the same cracks which led to their destruction.

I like how this project was run. Built the community first THEN did the crowdfunding (which I’m sure will be a success now). This is what I’m trying to do on a much more modest level. So many games seem to do funding first and then if successful see if anyone likes the game.

Good luck pardners!

Mis estimados latinos unidos emergentes hip-hop hermanos brothers de #RPGLatAm ¿En serio van a dejar que los gringos les ganen en vistas del trailer de #KOKOTÖNA? 😔 Tristísimo...

¡Pero hay tiempo de redimirse!

Solo tienen que ver el tráiler de mi #TTRPG en YouTube en Español o Portugues.

Maize Alux are indistinguishable from ears of maize when they are in the husk, however when opened they leap out and try to consume who had been looking to eat them. Upon closer inspection they resemble the face of the ones who opened them but... aged many, many years.
