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 […]

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). They are: Empire of the Ghouls by Wolfgang Baur Six Arabian Nights, by Wolfgang Baur, David “Zeb”

Because there’s a million gaming sites and blogs and podcasts, I’ll just mention a few I like. KQ contributor Jonathan Drain offered up the 7 Habits of A Successful Dungeon Master recently, which I like because it’s short and yet it’s clear he knows where the DM pitfalls are. Definitely worth a look, even for

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.

Everyone loves free stuff, which is why we love Free RPG Day. While KQ is (alas), not giving away a freebie this year, many other find companies are, including WotC, White Wolf, Paizo, Green Ronin, and Margaret Weis Productions. 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
The fine folks at 4eReviews.com ask me some questions about recent projects, and I shoot my mouth off a bit. Give it a look.

Hey, the fine folks at GeekDad have declared at “If Dad likes D&D, a Kobold Quarterly subscription is mandatory.” We couldn’t agree more, and their other suggestions seem right on the money as well: Planet Stories, Forbidden LEGO, and many more. Check out their list.

The GeekDad folks over at WIRED are holding a contest until midnight Friday, asking you to submit parent-kid portraits of yourself as D&D characters. These portraits must be drawn with traditional media (no photos or digital versions, crayons encouraged) and posted to a Flickr pool. And everyone who enters gets a free PDF copy of

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
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
