Kobold Quarterly and Open Design have been very fortunate in the quality of their freelancers. I’m happy to announce that Open Design has accepted an adventure from Ed Greenwood of Forgotten Realms fame.

For many years, I’ve had a strange relationship with that notorious nice guy, Mr. Monte Cook. We’ve collaborated on projects like the Dark*Matter campaign setting and the Beyond Countless Doors Planescape retrospective. And Malhavoc Press.

Open Design is very pleased to announce that two of its patron-supported projects have been nominated for ENnie Awards this year. Those two are both nominees in the Electronic Product category (as makes sense for primarily PDF products).

The first issue of KQ is currently available in the store in an extremely limited quantity. If you’d like a copy of the issue that started it all, give it a look now, because when they are gone, they’re gone.
