YES, how could I forget!? There's just so much good stuff with the current issue...

The new issue of Kobold Quarterly has shipped to subscribers in print and PDF, and the first reviews are in at WIRED/Geekdad: "The sole remaining professional roleplaying game magazine, Kobold Quarterly became number one by beheading all of its competitors in spectacular urban swordfights."...

The project really started in February, though there was a gap due to travel. I agree that it seems like the most fun to join early on, when the foundations are being laid. However, playtest is about to start in a week or two, and that's the other big period of patron feedback. The next one...

Glyfair, thanks for the rundown. Roguerogue, I'm pretty sure these projects aren't for you. They are meant as very small-scale experiments in design and a way to show how adventures are written, with explanations of many of the decisions along the way from outline to text to playtest. In other...

Eh, I think the change that bothered people wasn't that the magazines left Paizo's stewardship, but that they were canceled. The DDI may be many fine things, but it is not a magazine; it's a subscription web site. Mind you, this left the door open for other people to do magazines. ;)

Well, Olaf, free is good, and a half-efreet pirate fits anywhere, such as City of Brass, or near the Isle of Dread, or ashore at some volcanic island. Just saying...

You're all set. The first major post went live today, so you're right on time.

Whizzy, I still need your take on the play balance of this spell! Whizzy I know you're in there! ::whish whish whish:: Not the hose! These evocations are a simple matter of reconciling level and utility! Gah, you've soaked my notes!

Yep, you've got mail. And you can contact me or Nick over at the Open Design blog, or in the KoboldQuarterly forums, or... wherever. We're whaddya call it, "netizens." As a member of the Blood of the Gorgon project, you can pick up the Six Arabian Nights project. As a member of Six Arabian...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I hear. I wanted to see if he could stretch his range a little. ;) Actually, this is going to be a great time. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Nick does with the premise, and what he says in the various design essays. What can I say, the man can write.

Blood of the Gorgon is a 50,000+ word dark urban adventure in which the heroes brave terrors without and within. Written by Nicolas Logue and developed by Wolfgang Baur, this patron-driven project will be commissioned between now and February 29th. The project includes daily posts and...

Yeah, tracking renewals into the total would make my head explode. So, better not.

The most recent wave of subscriptions went out yesterday. You should see it before the weekend.

Kobold Quarterly is very close to rolling the subscriber odometer over to 1,000 subscribers. Hey, that's great, you say, everyone likes big round numbers but what about prizes? I'm glad you asked! The 1000th subscriber will win: * A Lifetime Subscription to the Magazine! This is a print...

Damn! Glad to see that Bruce Cordell supports the Kobold Army. I just handed him an issue because, well, he's the Overmind of Psionics and the inventor of the Far Realms. I really should get a round of endorsements. I wonder what Mr. Gygax and Arneson think of it. ;)

Allow me to clarify. :) Glyfair is right; the project will release at GenCon to the public, mostly likely as a simultaneous PDF and a print release. The nature of the project is under discussion. As usual for Open Design, we hope to do something a little different. That's all I can really say...

Yep, we send out the current issue to new subscribers for about a month after it releases, or until we run out. Since both #1 and #2 are sold out in print, we printed a lot more for #3. And we're going to run out sooner rather than later AGAIN. So if you want to subscribe to the print version...

A valid critique, and certainly something to watch. The problem isn't the narrow SRD, though: it's getting enough questions from the readership as the magazine is launching. Advice columns always have that chicken-and-egg quality as they get started, even though, in Skip's case, he's been giving...

The Winter issue of Kobold Quarterly has gone off to subscribers, in PDF form! Huzzah! This issue is bigger than last time, at 60 pages, and features stunning cover art by Cris Griffin. With all that extra room, there's room for more articles as well, including: * an interview with Ed...

Kobold Quarterly is offering a set of seven free dice from Q-Workshop to new print subscribers in the US. The dice usually retail for about $20, and the subscription is a steal. Not to mention Erik Mona calls the magazine "the spiritual successor to Dragon magazine". Consider it a Kobold...
