Who’s On First?
If the current commission were for just a 3E project or just a 4E project, it would already be funded; patrons have supported the work and there’s lots of interest. In a perfect world, I would be merrily writing up the outline and taking the first couple of rounds of polls, brainstorming, and feedback by
Gnomes and Kobolds, Living in Harmony
Sure, kobolds hate gnomes. But not ALL gnomes. In particular, we like Gnome Stew. While the meat dish is delectable, it’s more than that. Gnome Stew is a new game mastering blog written by GMs, and it s founded by Martin Ralya, the same mad genius who brought you Treasure Tables. Like Kobold Quarterly, Gnome

Good Times for Trapspringers
The last couple months have been good times for KQ, with one important exception. Subscriptions are up. I’m seeing great articles from freelancers, full of fire and vinegar. And not least, KQ is a semi-finalist for the Origins Award. The bad news is (more)

Lucky Number 4
Here we are at issue #4, and I’m not sure quite how the time has flown by so quickly. It’s springtime, and an editor’s fancy turns to thoughts of new editions, new authors, and new pagecount. There’s a full-on feast of other gaming goodness in this issue, from the cover by William O’Connor to the
Kobolds Get a Second Life
Kobold-in-Chief, Wolfgang Baur, has been invited to be the guest of honor at Wordsmith Hall. Don’t be alarmed, loyal minions, thinking you won’t be able to attend. Wordsmith Hall is not located in a real-life town; it’s a location in Second Life.

The Inner Dictator
When an editor writes back and tells you that your storyline is terrible, it’s usually a good sign that your writing is progressing well. Seem strange? Well, it could be worse. That editor…

To 4E or not to 4E?
I’ve gotten this question a LOT over the last few months, with various gamers asking what condition my edition is in. All I’ve been able to say is that I don’t know until I hear more from WotC. Well, we’ve heard…

Many Hands
You may have noticed a few changes since last issue. Yes, it’s only issue #3, and already we’re making improvements. Kobolds are like that, always tinkering. Keeps us off the trapmaking circuit.
Shared Worlds
The heart of the tabletop roleplaying world is a place where everyone shares the stage: players, DMs, and designers alike. In that vein, I’m happy to announce that with this issue, I’m stepping back from writing quite so many articles as I did last issue. There’s a world of talent out there, and it’s time
Small But Fierce
I realize that launching this magazine as Dragon Magazine’s print era ends is — how to put it? It’s a bit of a kick to the nuts to go from a 100% color, lavishly-illustrated, fine-tuned machine to a one-man show with a lot of black and white art and a do-it-yourself ethos.
