KQ is a quarterly. And yet here we are, doing a fifth issue. Sure, we’re calling it an annual, but really kobolds can’t count. Our innumeracy is your gain! The PDF issue has gone out to subscribers, and those lucky folks also get a free copy of the Kobold Death Maze adventure from Super Genius […]

There’s so much going on with KQ behind the scenes right now it’s hard to know where to start. Let’s start with this. I’m currently on the hunt for a full-page comic to appear in the magazine. The Goblins strip, for instance, might be something in the right direction. What do you think of Goblins,

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.

Jeff Grubb wrote up a version of the Zobeck kobold for use as a 4E PC race over on his Grubb Street site. Technically, Zobeck is a setting for 3E D&D, but I’m happy to see fan material for it in any edition. This one is especially nice because he really gets the urban kobold

The creator of Kobold Quarterly comics Bolt & Quiver and 10 by 10 Toon, the mighty
Kobold Quarterly, or KQ if you like, is one year old. Thank you to all of you—readers, designers, artists, and everyone who has contributed—for making it happen. It’s a sad fact that most new magazines don’t survive, and KQ has at least as many foes as your typical kobold. Like our wily mascot, though, we’re
