After a successful Witchlight run, some new kobold Champions return for a second series. But this time it's kobolds IN SPAAAAAAACE!!!!

The new series of our colorful, popular, and adorable comic Pack Antics has returned with an exciting Spelljammer adventure! This time Krydle, Nayeli, Makos, Reya, Shandie, and Tyril have all been polymorphed into small kobolds, and geared out to take on whatever Wildspace can throw at them!



Both series of Pack Antics are drawn by Luke McKay, and written by Treavor Bettis. You can find the entire first series on our Official Idle Champions Discord saved in the Comics channel of the Art section. Series 2 will be posted there, as well as on our Official Twitter, so you can always keep up with the latest kobold antics.

Return to Sender: A Pack Antics Adventure

Return to Sender is a special D&D one shot with Treavor taking the Dungeon Master seat! Our players include Lauren as Tyril, Vee as Shandie, and Mars as Krydle...but all transformed into kobolds! Watch live on our Twitch channel on Wednesday August 31st from 1-4pm Pacific!

Starting on August 31st, you can pick up these adorable new skins for your own Idle Champions! All six Champions are available in the store as individual packs, or buy the Pack Antics Series 2 Bundle Pack to get the whole set for a discount!

From August 31st until Sept 7th Pacific Time, you will collect 50% bonus favor whenever you reset a Descent into Avernus adventure! Reya is unlockable by completing the second variant of the Idyllglen adventure titled: "Reya Reborn" towards the end of the Descent into Avernus campaign.

Seeking rest and respite from a year of adventure, the Champions arrive in the tranquil town of Longsaddle - only to find it under siege! Drow from the Underdark are on the hunt in Longsaddle for a Harpell artifact, and it's a race against time to find it before they do...

Brightswords 5 introduces Dob the upbeat, half-orc bard from The Oxventure crew, and brings back his teammate Corazón de Ballena, the dashing Human Pirate, and Lazaapz, the Goblin Armorer Artificer. Players have until Monday, September 5th at 12PM PDT to complete their event unlocks and objectives.

I. New Champion: Dob

Dob never knew his parents. When he fell ill as a baby, his sister Suzette searched far and wide for a cure. She successfully saved his life, but on the last of her trips out to find medicine, Suzette never returned. So Dob became a self-taught traveling bard, sleeping under the stars and roaming town to town in search of his lost sister. This brought him into contact with the Oxventurers, with whom he shares in many bizarre adventures, including one that did indeed see him reuniting at last with his long-lost sister!

Dob is a Support and Gold Find Champion, increasing the damage of Champions not next to him while boosting gold find based on how many Champions are adjacent. He has the unfortunate habit of dumping all that hard-found gold into a nearby lake to keep it safe, but he'll make sure to make it up to the formation! For more information on Dob and his abilities, check out his Champion Spotlight!
