Bursting from the infernal depths in a cloud of fire and brimstone comes Kobold Quarterly’s Fall 2012 issue! Either this is the promised “demons and devils” issue, or the magazine is being guest-edited by Ronnie James Dio.

This issue is packed with Stygian foes, diabolical adventure, cannibal demon apes, soul-sundering artifacts and evil chocolatiers. Kobold Quarterly # 23 includes:

• The dark aristocratic glory of Dispater, First King of the Infernal City by Wes Schneider
• The Vile Black Book, a grimoire written by Asmodeus himself, with five new diabolical spells by Ed Greenwood
• Mechuiti, Midgard’s demon lord of apes and cannibals, with new spells, monsters and adventure hooks by Adam Roy
• “Devil’s Food”, an adventure among Midgard’s sinister gnomes by Michael Lane
• “The Urge to Evolve”, a new Pathfinder Society Quest by Adam Daigle
• GM tips from Steve Winter on creating an atmosphere of horror at the table

KQ # 23 also features inks and poisons from Midgard’s Seven Cities by Christina Stiles, worldbuilding with Monte Cook, Living Gods for 13th Age by Ash Law, a lamia PC race by Marc Radle, plus devil-smiting, soul-selling, and the ever-popular Ask the Kobold with Skip Williams.
