The Kobold Grinder - DnD 5e

The Kobold Grinder is an absurd dungeon run for 3+ players. While DnD 5e is about cooperation and storytelling, the Kobold Grinder is about lethal traps, greed, and backstabbing. The adventure is meant to be played over 3-5 hours, ending with a final PvP free-for-all.

Because of this comedic theme, the Kobold Grinder will allow (and even encourage) treachery, but some cooperation will still be required to pass other rooms. Additionally, it’s paramount that everyone involved see the game as a comedy, more akin to a cartoon-ish boardgame than a typical tabletop rpg. Characters will die, frequently, and often unfairly. The game is truly about the absurd and comically violent journey rather than the destination.

What passes for a story can be summed up as this:

"The party plays as members of a band of kobolds, long in service to a great dragon. After a long period of silence however, the kobolds have determined the great dragon has at last expired. There is now nothing left to do but choose a new leader from among the kobolds, and how better to do so than with a race?

The course is the series of dungeon rooms leading to the great dragon’s treasure room, and the winner shall be whichever kobold first acquires a golden coin from within. Naturally the kobolds can have only one leader, so “accidents” are bound to happen during the race.

As the kobolds enter the dungeon, there will always be a few leading the pack (the players), while the rest stay back to see how the room is completed (the remaining kobolds in the stack). Whenever a kobold meets an unfortunate end, inevitably one of the onlookers decides to try their luck and replaces the deceased as a frontrunner. When the secrets of a room have been revealed, the remaining mob hurries through, always just a few steps behind the leaders."

New players welcome! Pre-gen characters will be provided. Maps and miniatures will be utilized.
