Kobold Quarterly #21 takes on the theme of Divine Majesty, with a host of articles to take your campaign into the higher realms, or lower depths.
"The Shaman" introduces a new base class for Pathfinder RPG that gains powers and abilities by unlocking secrets about the natural and spirit worlds. "Daughters of Lilith" presents the ecology of the succubus, a lusty article indeed.
David "Zeb" Cook's article "It's a Mystery!" provides an antidote to generic fantasy religions using the secrets and traditions of the mystery cults that flourished in ancient times.
"Clerical Conflicts" makes the life of a cleric extremely interesting with soul-ripping demands made by his or her god—dilemmas such as Disillusioned Crusader, Chosen One, and even the Were-Angel!
TSR and Wizards of the Coast alum Steve Winter explores how GMs can build a compelling monotheistic campaign setting in his "Howling Tower" column, and "Divine Archetypes" gives players a way to make angelic heroes, holy traps, and celestial Fists of Fury.
This issue of Kobold Quarterly also features official Pathfinder Society content, robber knights and vile wizards, new Zobeck and Midgard articles, and alchemists, druids, illusions, and seers for AGE gamers — and a sultry pinup cover!
Here’s what lies within this issue’s 76 incense-redolent pages:

Thanks, Foghammer! And you should totally write a review, because sometimes it is encouraging to the writers, artists, and publishers to hear from the people who just love it. Totally up to you, but really, lack of objectivity can be ok.
Well said!!!
(sorry, I missed this comment before, but it's such a great comment, I had to respond :)
I quite enjoy the Divine Archetypes section on this KQ. A lot of interesting ideas in there.

When the authors are David "Zeb" Cook, Tim & Eileen Connors, and the amazing Steve Winter, it's hard for them not to load it up with great ideas.
I think I like Winter's piece on the hows & whys of monotheism in RPGs best, but from a practical perspective, Connors and Cook both deliver really playable ideas for any fantasy game.
I have a question regarding my subscription (which I recently renewed, choosing the print/PDF bundle). While I have received my email telling me the issue is available for download I haven't received my print copy. (Usually it isn't that long of a wait between my "download it" email and receiving my actual magazine) but it's been 2 weeks and I'm concerned that it has either been lost in the mail, or worse some little thief took it after it was delivered.
Is it possible to confirm whether or not it has been delivered (from your end of things I mean)?
I appreciated any help in figuring this out, I miss my KQ already. :)
So, July is coming up pretty soon. Wonder if we'll get a surprise for the 4th (well, those of us in the US).
Good question! Let's hope Wolfgang responds.
We've got a Journeys preview in there that I hope goes over well...

That is an excellent question. Ask me at PaizoCon.
EDIT TO ADD: Ok, that might be more mysterious than intended. The issue has gone to press. Shipping before the holiday is a little tricky to predict, but early-to-mid July is a good bet.
