The Bobo RPG

Welcome to Bobo: The Roleplaying Game

Hey. I’m Aron (Or A-ron if you prefer my rap name), and this is Bobo: The Roleplaying Game—a gritty, irreverent, mechanics-heavy TTRPG that takes itself too seriously so you don’t have to.

It’s part Sin City, part South Park, part Zootopia-on-bath-salts, and it’s been my passion project for way too long now.

So What Is This Game?

Bobo RPG is a fully standalone system that uses its own dice pool mechanic (that ditches d4s because they're stupid), tons of custom Conditions, a completely original Attribute system (AMINALS), and a fun-first, chaos-second, math-third kind of attitude.

It’s the only game where you can:

• create pretty much any creature you can think of using a customizable Kingdom - Phylum - Genus character creation system.
• take Spoiler Damage for not finishing The Wire.
• fight a snowman in Hell with fiberglass-laced claws.
• custom-build a shotgun that shoots glue.
• and play as a literal Douchebag or Member of Nickelback (both are actual classes) (both are actual douchebags I think too).
• we even have a Taylor Swift-based class for your girlfriend to play when you force her to!

What’s Coming

Right now, I’m building the Itch page, formatting the Core Handbook, and prepping the SRD and Player Sheet (KCB PRD) for download.

There’s no fancy artwork yet (my artist’s working on it), but I’ve got plenty of rules, lore, chaos, and mechanics to share over the next few weeks. If you're into weird games with tight mechanics and loose morals, this might be your jam.

Want to Help?

You can follow the page or just check back every now and then. I’ll be posting about:

• Damage types like Sass, Spoiler, and Vegan.
• Status Conditions like Fucked Up, Embarrassed, Swift, and Taylor-Swift.
• Classes, Perks, Toadies, DBSEs, weapon crafting, and other nonsense.

And if you ever wanted to stat your pet in a TTRPG system... you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by. –A-ron

💬 Wanna talk some shit?

Comments are open! I welcome:

• Deranged love letters
• Stories about how you accidentally dealt Spoiler Damage to your friend.

Unwelcome:

• “This isn’t balanced for tournament play”
• “Why don’t you just use 5e?”
• And any sentence that starts with “Actually...”

If you’re cool, I’m cool. If you’re a dick, I’m busy working on stuff.❤️

FAQs

• Q: Is this game for kids? A: Only if you want your kid to swear like a demon and cry when they hear Nickelback.
• Q: Do I need weird dice? A: Nope. Just d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. We don’t use d4s because we’re not animals.
• Q: What’s a CUN? A: Critically Useless Number. It’s a 1 on any die. We laugh, then we cry.
• Q: What the hell is a Toady? A: Like a goblin, if goblins were disposable goons you could knock out in one hit and forget about.
• Q: Is Spoiler Damage a real thing in this game? A: Of course it is. Why would I mention it above if it wasn't?
