Hm. The bookstore can probably start carrying KQ any time, but they only will if customers ask about it. </hint>

There's three active gamer magazines I know of: Kobold Quarterly, No Quarter, and White Dwarf. Ok, maybe WD is less RPG than minis, but it's not completely barren out there.

The transition from magazines to a web site was always going to be difficult; they're two different animals, with different strengths and weaknesses. What's unclear to me is why they dialed back the release schedule. Web sites thrive on immediacy and daily traffic. They're still publishing as if...

This sort of assumes that no one is playing 3E in the meantime, and that the audience no longer wants or needs non-edition-specific or 3E game materials. It also assumes that the only people who can write the DDI material are WotC staffers (ie, people who are otherwise working to make 4E as...

This is simply not true. They stated at the beginning that it was going to be monthly. They more recently said that it was going bi-monthly, though it's not clear why they dialed back the pace of releases.

All the Ghouls patrons had the option to pick up Shadowcrag. Log in to Open Design, and check out the private post for March 21.

Yeah, Olaf's suggestion seemed smart to me, so I added my name to my sig. About time, probably. ;)

Sure, check or money order for to Kobold Quarterly, PO Box 2811, Kirkland, WA 98083. Please include your name and address for a print+PDF subscription, and an email address for a PDF subscription. Thanks for your interest!

Allow me to say that Pathfinder #4 is not a horror adventure. It's a more traditional style of D&D adventure, where creepy is just one of the notes, and not the dominant one. There are maybe 2 encounters that will freak out players with particular phobias. The title, "Fortress of the Stone...

There's a lively gaming scene here, what with Paizo, Green Ronin, Open Design, and many other companies based in and around Seattle. Not to mention the University of Washington gamers, etc. Oh, and there's the Emerald City Gamefest coming up on the 17th. I'm running a table. I don't think...

I'd want to see some of the following: New Monsters, not retreads. The Creature Catalogs by Paizo were especially good. Playable Maps scaled for printing at 1" per square. More Variety: A range of subgenres, not just FR and Eberron. Season it with Dragonlance fiction, Al-Qadim variant rules...

I share your disappointment. But why not spend your money on something cool instead of crying over a flubbed launch? The Rackham tilesets are cool. The Paizo "Skinsaw Murders" adventure is cool. Plus the new Monsternomicon and the Arabian Nights Open Design and plenty more. It's not like...

Very cool, Baduin! I think historical names and perspective are a lot of fun, and the Western martial arts should definitely have a place in D&D.

Me neither. But first I actually need to see the game. So far, it's all thin soup and dodgy previews. As to everyone recommending some product previews, I hope to offer .... something along those lines with issue #3 or #4. I don't want to do "Here's what's new from WotC and other big...

Not feeling it sums it up. My expectations were pretty high, and I was fairly worried that the new Dragon would kick Kobold Quarterly into the shade. It appears my fears may have been overblown. Nick Logue, Ed Greenwood, and Skip Williams are KQ contributors, and they are rocking the new issue...

Sure, that's a fair description. The focus is on Open content rather than supporting WotC marketing initiatives, though. The support from well-known freelancers to date has been nothing short of incredible.

And that day is fast approaching. There's almost 200 patrons for Empire. That's partly by design (the manuscript is huge, so required many supporters), and partly a function of the popularity of the subject. I'm happy so many people signed up, but it is a bigger crowd than I expected the patron...

Let me be the first to welcome our new Canadian overlords! $25 will get you six Arabian Nights from Open Design. Or $16 will get you a year's subscription to Kobold Quarterly.

There's Castle Shadowcrag , which presents a race of shadow fey and has some shadow connections. There's also a fairly recent Shadow planar adventure in Dungeon, though the title escapes me. Anyone?

I'm with you on the difficulty involved, but I'm giving it a shot. Kobold Quarterly is publishing 4 times a year for D&D and OGL gamers, with articles by Ed Greenwood and Nicolas Logue, among others. It's also available in PDF form as an inexpensive way to reach gamers outside the US. Please...
