It seems to be the popular thing all the cool kids are doing these days! We have launched the Kickstarter project for the ZEITGEIST adventure path for D&D 4th Edition and the PATHFINDER RPG. You'll find it <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/250609397/zeitgeist-adventure-path-kickstarter-booster-proje" target="_blank">here</a>. If we make the $10,000 goal by May 31st we'll use that booster fund to buy more art, write more words, make more handouts, and generally make ZEITGEIST even more awesome than it's already going to be. If we don't make the $10,000 goal we get nothing, but ZEITGEIST will still be awesome. The booster funds, if we make it, won't kick in for the first adventure (because we're not delaying anything to make way for this). In addition there is a secondary target of $20,000. If we make that one, not only will be spend it on more awesome stuff for ZEITGEIST, but we'll publish an entire new adventure which will be exclusively available to those who contributed for a period of one year. [title]Review of Kobold Quarterly Issue 17[/title] [align=right]http://www.neuroglyphgames.com/rpgblogs/home/neurogly/public_html/rpgblogs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/KQ-Cover.jpg[/align]Check out EN World's <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/en-world-official-reviews/304478-review-kobold-quarterly-issue-17-spring-2011-a.html" target="_blank">official review</a> of Kobold Quarterly #17. Kobold Quarterly Issue 17 presents a decent selection of Fantasy RPG articles, but this issue is not as strong as some I have seen in previous. While there is still content presented for Pathfinder, D&D <ACRONYM title="D&D 4th Edition">4E</ACRONYM>, as well as Dragon Age RPG, some of the articles were a bit lackluster, being longer on game theory and fluff than actual mechanics. Pathfinder and Dragon Age RPG gamers will probably find this issue more useful to them than would a <ACRONYM title="D&D 4th Edition">4E</ACRONYM> gamer - but I have a feeling that is more from a case of <ACRONYM title="D&D 4th Edition">4E</ACRONYM> submissions becoming less frequent as time goes on, and the system continues to experience “growing pains”.

Production rights will be sold off to other companies or individuals at the rate of around 100 to 200 pieces per year. More than likely it will take years to completely downsize, so no need to panic and buy items that you may have put off purchasing.
