Super Deluxx Edition, a game that was designed by 9LG and published by DSP. Ĭurrently, 9th Level Games is transitioning out publishing to focus primarily on design. 9LG's first games were Adventure! The W¸rlde of Kroson and In the Company of Rats, introduced at Origins 1999 these was followed by KAMB, developed in one month for Gen Con 1999. As of 2001, the company had four employees, including the founders. The company was founded by Dan Landis and Chris O'Neill while in high school together. The "Super Deluxx Edition" features illustrations by John Kovalic. ![]() In 2005, the Midnight Massacre was staged as a LARP. KAMB is part of an annual event at the Origins Game Fair called the Midnight Massacre, in which large numbers of people customarily play multiple simultaneous games of KAMB and make significant amounts of noise. Kobolds being poorly suited to adventuring have low numbers, which keeps the humour alive in the game. Essentially, players are given a difficulty in numbers of dice, and they must roll under the appropriate value on their sheet. It is called Beer after the four stats that make each character: Brawn, Ego, Extraneous, and Reflexes. KAMB is played using the dice rolling mechanism called the Beer Engine. The game takes a generally humorous look at the genre and encourages joking and ludicrous, boisterous behavior among the players, the chief of which is the rule that whenever the name of the kobolds' king, Torg (All Hail King Torg!), is mentioned, all present are required to loudly proclaim, " ALL HAIL KING TORG!" KAMB supposedly refutes this role, while at the same time playing up this and other stereotypes of fantasy role-playing. The players assume the roles of kobolds, creatures who are often used as weak but numerous " cannon fodder" characters in fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons. ![]()
