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

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.

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
