Given that these periodicals are pdf-capable, when the 50th (or 100th) issue is released, will there be the possibility of a "Grand collection", with all of them lumped together that will be purchasable?
That was one of the things I always loved about Dragon when it was being published. Their "Silicon Sorcery" articles where they would equate other things from various sources into D&D terms, on the off-chance that you might find them relevant.
The Chocobo entry made my month.
I'm glad they're doing the same in KQ.
Does the Prince of Wolves article have spoilers for the novel?
Does the Prince of Wolves article have spoilers for the novel?rocks fall everyone dies. ;-)
Seriously, the only spoilers are in the mechanics, so unless you're less than halfway through the book, you should be fine.
I just picked up the book and i'm a sloooow reader. So this this helps a bunch. I'll pick up the mag a little later then. Thanks!

Thanks, Wolfgang - and I loved the fact that Golarion's canon was included. This was very much oriented around them as they were presented in the Pathfinder Bestiary, and which was a truly unique take on the mythological creature concept. That was why I was so happy to write about it, and I'm glad that the inspiration was bettered by something ordered... or 'canon', rather. I honestly need to talk with Doug more before I really know enough about the setting to understand all of James' blurb, however. :P It was good, and I am certainly glad that mine was edited and his own included - it made it all that much better and more proper to the ideas and activities of the setting.
All of the accompanying web articles related to tengu seem to be up now too, and it's worth linking to them all here as well:
- http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/front-page6391.php (1 of 4, by Phillip Larwood = variant tengu types, A LOT of them!)
- http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/front-page6401.php (2 of 4, by Tom Baumbach = tengu adventurers, presented as class descriptions, including APG classes, plus new racial trait variants, just like the APG racial traits treatment!)
- http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/front-page6419.php (3 of 4, by me = Tengu in Myths plus the Tengu King, Sojobo)
- http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/front-page6444.php (4 of 4, by me = Winged Karasu Tengu creature stats)
For the record, I listened to two separate players last night at our evening weeknight PFS game rant for a minute about how we need to see cool new PFS material including things 'like this' and pointing at the KQ magazine I showed him for the first time. lol - I was amused, and I agree. I certainly hope that the inspiration was there for the ecology and Golarion canon to mix better than oil and water (*rolls eyes, and avoids puns*). I will personally look into finding resources and story hooks related to Tian Xia now, so I can put in a PFS mod for the open call. That way I can even make sure to let them know that someone is on the job to make their musings (loud and boastful, mind you) are being carried out. It was amusing, and a good feeling. I think it was the good artwork and seeing James' name nearby that was truly affecting him. ;)
