This issue of the small-but-fierce Kobold features official Pathfinder content! The Monsters of Osirion are yours to discover in this issue, including one that James Jacobs found especially creepy and intriguing.

The issue also features Steampunk monsters by Richard Pett, a Guide to Dwarven Airships, and Gunpowder Magic, plus our first 4th Edition compatible article.

And one smoking hot cover, as you can see. We're gonna get letters... and we can't wait to hear what you think!

But I might be biased...

5/5

First, I'll qualify this... I wrote the Dwarven Airships article, so I'm biased.

This issue comes packed with 4 new Pathfinder monsters, 4 steampunked OGL monsters, and two templates with examples befitting the name Pett.

The interview with Sandy Petersen is engaging, giving insights into CoC and a few design gems.

The article on undead creation is functional, cool, and simple. Feats and spells round out the piece, leaving you itching for a new villain.

The Centaur ecology dips into 4E territory-- but the bulk of the piece is system-neutral. An experiment for KQ, even if you ignore the stat blocks, or convert them, the piece is well done.

Next, Spells of the Gun-- a firing squad of eight spells designed to incorporate black powder. Some defend against guns, like Barrier Cloth, and others augment the gunslinger, like Deadeye. A few are high level, coming in at 7th/8th, providing limited utility in my opinion, but there are folks out there who love their epic games. :)

Then a useful piece on roleplaying a rogue. This is one for the storyteller/method actor in the group.

We continue to book reviews! Personally, I enjoy having these. As someone with limited time, being able to get a few good looks at both new and old books is nice.

The article on rogues' equipment has some interesting tidbits. They would definitely add to color and novelty of an NPC or reoccuring rival.

The Garnet Codex article is great because it could fit anywhere, a good hook for any game. It's one of those things that would have players "ooh"ing as they try to decipher it. This is one you slip into your back pocket and unleash later without a shred of guilt.

The article on disease provides the sort of seed that can drive a campaign.

Airships? I'll let you decide for yourself.

We close with the Courtesans of Zobeck. This offers a cool look at the world's oldest profession.

KQ continues to set the standard, you won't be disappointed.

Print Edition is cool and all, but I actually prefer my digital downloads . . .

Any idea when this will be available in PDF, anyone?


Damn! I see that this article mentions an article on Thieves' Gear. I wrote and submitted an article a few months back on the same thing and never heard back . . . I think I got ninja'd!

No one ninjas the Rogue! No one!

uh...I don't see "Pathfinder" anywhere in that paragraph...

edit: Nevermind. it was on the cover. I see it now.


Man. Kobold Quarterly seems to come out a lot for a supposedly quarterly magazine.

Not that I'm complaining or anything. I'll keep buying em as fast Wolfgang keeps pumping em out.

Prepares to wait patiently for the e-mail then the dead tree version.

Prepares for the inevitable praying that must be done to ensure obtaining one of the also inevitable under-printed first run.


Scrambles to finish other projects so he'll have time to pore over the PDF when it arrives...

Fantastic cover. KQ has become just an absolutely gorgeous looking magazine in the space of a few mere months.

I'm really looking forward to issue #7.

Kobold kan't kount, which is why we ship so often.

PDF version is still in production. Let me just say that this version of the cover is mockup, and the final is even better. :)

The PDF was released to subscribers this morning, which means the print edition won't be far behind!


What an ace cover! Kudos, Wolfgang. Can't wait to read it.

Thanks, I'm pretty fond of the cover myself, though I know I'm going to take some flack for it as well. But hell, it's a story from King Arthur, and I just couldn't resist O'Connors work.

Depends on whether you count the Crocodile minis, or the conversions or electronic product add-ons, I suppose...

The Exchange Kobold Press

Seems like the minis should count.

FWIW, the print edition is moving to a lot of interior color. This is becoming quite a good-looking magazine, thanks to artists like Loboyko and O'Connor.

I at least have mine to read while waiting for my pathfinder stuff.

Oh, and forgot, the little pilot kobold rocks

This is one of the best issues ever! I mean gunpowder spells, clockwork templates, official Pathfinder monsters, an Undead creation system (sounds like some of the ideas that were tossed around on these boards a while back - way to go Ross!), stuff by Stan! and there are several other articles. It's really quite amazing

Sovereign Court

But when is the print edition going to be available?

Pathfinder Monsters of Osirion!

The whole mag looks good. ON hold at my FLGS :)


Paraphrased from another thread:

In Episode Nine of Atomic Array , out today, we delve into Kobold Quartely (issue 7).

We talk to the Kobold-in-chief Wolfgang Baur, Richard Pett, and Ben McFarland directly, and preview many of the articles.

Wolf was a flawless interview... he's really good at this. Pett would have been as well if British Telelcom didn't cause people to sound like the little girl from Poltergeist. Mo-o-o-o-o-o-mmy..." Then again, knowing Spookster Pett, he probably just did that to unnerve us.

We tell you how reminiscing aloud about kobolds could get you some KQ store gift certificates.

The Exchange Kobold Press

Jade, dude, thanks for the kudos, but really I just shot my mouth off. I gotta learn when to stop.

But I think you are onto something with the free gift certificates. :)


I just got this today. Very nice

So what? Think you're special? I disgust everyone.

And you know maybe you wouldn't get such a warped and unflattering view of me if you weren't so short, staring up at my nostrils and shadowy under-chin all the time.

Ed Healy is 4' 1" tall people. He was the shortest soldier in Iraq and they used him as a human ottoman in the officers' lounge. You should see photos of him in his standard issue army helmet... he looks like a lil turtle. It's so cute you just want to turn it into a poster and add a caption like 'Hang In There Baby!' but one more appropriate to the shot. Something like 'I too little for my shell!'.

I'm of course kidding. ;) But man, it is fun to go schoolyard once again!

I believe we are sailing the misty seas of Off Topic Land. Calm and balmy, like genies drifting over the sands of the Empty Quarter....

Uh, right. I mean, there's a bit of decent Cthulhu content in KQ#7 by Stan!.

Am I the only one obsessed with the squid-oid tentacular stuff?
Because we could do more of it in future issues if folks like it...

KQ just keeps getting better and better. Never stop Wolfgang!

Stan!'s article was my favorite. Hands down.

Pett's Timepiece came in a close second.

Slightly off topic but ... is anyone else having trouble getting the www.koboldquarterly.com web site to load? I wonder if it went down and there's no one at the web hosting company to reboot the servers ...?

Speaking of the website, Devious Daigle wrote up some killer traps two Tuesdays in a row, and Zoological Zherog wrote up some excellent monster articles as well.

Back to the KQ7 discussion. Sorry.

The Exchange Kobold Press

Hey, Monte Cook reviewed this issue and I just cannot resist putting a link here. So, linky link.

KQ7 is definitely a winner in my book!

#8 is the last issue in my sub, so how soon after it is released would I have to renew to ensure #9 is in my mailbox on time?

Lessee.... #8 ships in January. #9 probably ships in April. Anytime between January and March would be fine. After that, you run the risk of missing the subscriber-only goodies.
