First, you get hired as the D&D brand manager. Then, you can look at the sales figures. Or if you're really a glutton for punishment, first you get hired as a Hasbro accountant. :D

Core Books (5) Unseelie Courts: Fey and changlings. I'm sure this is more popular than giants. Amazing potential for both player and DM use, if it's done right. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks: A new take on the classic adventure. Plus hey, killer robots and lasers. Age of Worms Hardcover: Lots...

Sure, there's single copies available as PDF from Paizo, or single paper copies direct from Open Design for $8 plus shipping. Hit me with email so we don't spam the board. Oh, and Shawn, it's 32 pages plus covers with minimal ads. IIRC, it's less than 2 pages of ads, and that includes the house...

No fiction or poetry in Kobold Quarterly, I promise.

32 interior pages plus covers for the first. Future issues will add page count as circulation grows; issue #2 is tentatively slated for 36 pages plus covers.

Doug McCrae's advice seems really good to me. Start with some monsters and see where they take you. If you're writing them for your home game, I'd say you just need enough notes about the villain and his minions to keep it all straight for yourself. Who are the bad guys? What do they want? And...

Re-sent. Hope it finds you in time for weekend reading. Probably best to take it off the boards if you need it sent through another route.

I have great confidence that Keith will deliver a superior noir article. My only hesitation in the "Coming Next Issue" category is that he's writing a novel as well, and that work should (quite rightly) take priority over an article for a small press project.

Yep, there's that, and (despite my best efforts with the lash), my kobold scribes are all worn out from the launch. You should see single issues for sale on Paizo.com and on wolfgangbaur.com in the next couple days, though. The paper+PDF subscription pricing is actually in the fine print of...

Good thing Kobold Quarterly is doing print subscriptions for "the world's most popular roleplaying game" material. Not to mention, there's No Quarter magazine, White Dwarf, and .... ok, that's about it. If you want to be included in the email announcement when KQ paper subs open tomorrow, let...

Based on my discussion with Keith, I'm happy to say that it seems likely for Kobold Quarterly #2. Hell, I may need to start a new thread to see what else people would like to see.

Yes, I'd be happy to publish such an article, if Keith wanted to write it. Kobold Quarterly #2 is already shaping up to have a lot of industry names in it, and I suspect Keith would do an awesome job on this topic. Hmmmm. A commissioned article. A first for this magazine.

I wrote the history of the war and some army chapters. I did try to explain the existing material in Five Nations and other canon sources, and I did turn over maps that showed the progress of the war over decades. The fronts changed violently, and alliances did shift. From what I've seen of my...

I'm fairly sure credit card availability varies by country. So it may work in the US, but not Australia, or vice versa. I'm aiming for "not terrible", but in the long run it will depend on the quality of the writers it attracts.

The PDF version is delivered by email and/or a download service like, oh, any other file. The print on demand version is mailed to you by the good folks at Lulu. Happy to bust your cherry in the PDF world, but um.... Ok let's not take that any further. :\ Sure, I think not everyone wants to...

There will certainly be many tricks and traps in KQ, though perhaps not the ASPCM. Kobolds can take care of themselves. The drive for subscribers is going ok. I expect the number of folks taking me up on the charter subscription rate will be fairly low, compared to the number who sign up after...

Definitely June, July, or August. :) Actually, there's reason to be optimistic. I have a couple submissions that may fill out the issue without me writing 100% of it. That's a trend I hope to see expand in future issues. Once the first issue ships, the charter member's special subscription...

Thanks for subscribing! I'm offering the $12/year rate now to see how many folks are interested. If the project does survive beyond the first year (and statistically, most magazines don't live that long), I'll absolutely send out reminder notices and offer multi-year subscription deals.

I agree completely that print is not dead, and I'm working to figure out the best strategy for bringing Kobold to a print form. At the moment, it's too early to say whether print will be viable for a small-circulation zine. Once I have print costs figured out, I'll absolutely announce that as...
