Kobold Con

Who could forget the ball we had at our first digital convention, KoboldCon 2024! Thanks to all our fans and supporters who turned out to make this event a HUGE success. We had a great time at our Kobold Staff Actual Play (run by the incomparable Celeste Conowitch), our Staff Q&A and more! 

Since we all got to hang out, we thought it would be a good time to announce some major new titles, including The Art of Kobold Press, and the cosmic Labyrinth Worldbook. If you couldn’t make it to the show, you’ll be relieved to know the entire convention is available on YouTube!

We were also thrilled to announce the winners of our first Kobold Creates program!
