Meepo (from the Sunless Citadel) is the best Kobold in existence!!!
Not only did our Meepo survive, he became an Expert sidekick character, single handedly killed the Rat Queen, joined the party full time for several adventures, left to go on his own adventures, and eventually created a Thieves' Guild called the Duskrats that operated as a Robin Hood-style black market ring that stole from the Dragonborn elites, smuggled them out of the kingdom, traded them with the nearby nomads of the desert lands, returned with gold and trade goods, and distributed among the lower classes. A statue of him stands in their lair to this day.
I can't believe how much people enjoy my silly little Kobold forum, this brings a smile to my face. :)
I mean kobolds are just amazing for the most part; they're like an entire society of Kevin McCalisters that are perfectly happy to horde shiny things and dig tunnels as long as dragons and/or gnomes aren't involved. They understand that quantity is a certain kind of quality and band together to ensure the survival of their colony against all comers whether that be drow, goblins, dwarves or self righteous murder hobos.
Not gonna lie about how the revisionist version in tome of foes pisses me off with how it throws all of that away.
What's Tome Of Foes?
My bad, meant Monsters of the Multiverse; it compiled a bunch of the different monsters and racesSpecies into a single book while also stripping away the lore associated with any of them which overall made most of them blander while kobolds...
Kobolds went from being a vaguely neurotic race of teamwork oriented trapmongers to dragonkin that have a roar that scares people. It's really, really disheartening.
I want to make a kobold PC but from what you said about Monsters of the Multiverse it makes me wonder if I should.

I mean By all means go ahead and make Kobold characters; I'm a bit of a grouch about how they've undermined their own lore.
My suggestion is to just talk about what you want to do with your GM, a good one will find ways to help you be the best smol dragon you can be :)
I am planning a campaign where kobolds play a large role. An Ancient evil force is calling to them from the past, and they think it is an ancient dragon. They try to open a portal to the past, but the party will stop them. Then, the party will have the opportunity to travel back and forth from the dinosaur ages and will find that in the dino times there were still kobolds living. The kobolds there will capture them and try to sacrifice them to dinosaurs, in order to gain the favor of the ancient evil force that was calling out to the future kobolds, because that kobold tribe is weak an puny without the support of their dinosaur-like dragon who was killed by a neighboring dinodragon who is also followed by a bigger stronger tribe. If the party survives being sacrificed, the will be given the opportunity to aid the tribe that tried to sacrifice them, by slaying the dragon that protects their enemies. Then the party will gain the support of the kobold tribe, but since they are kobolds, they will be fickle, chaotic and probably treacherous, but they might also come in handy.
Also in that same campaign, Kurtulmak is around during the dinosaur times. The meteor that killed the dinosaurs, is actually a bunch of new celestial beings who are coming to earth to shape it into what it will become in the future, but all the ancient and primordial forces will be destroyed or weakened by that, so they are trying to find a way to prevent the dinosaur extinction and preserve their reign. Kurtulmak is from the future, and is the son of Tiamat, but Garl banished him to the past, instead of a cave in the ground, and so Kurtulmak refounded the kobold race, but also knows that his world will end soon, and so is aiding the ancient powers in stopping the Dinosaur's extinction.
The thing is, I don't know anything about Kurtulmak beyond that little lore block in Volo's, so does anybody here have any information on him? If nobody does, I will just make up a bunch of my own stuff, but it would be handy to have some official information.
So about the RP, I was thinking of making a different thread just for RP. Maybe I could add a link to the first post I made if that's even possible? But if I can, how do I?
Uh, how do I end Polls?
