New Kobold Guide now available!

The kobolds are back, and they're wiggling their fingers with the latest Kobold Press release!

Phenomenal cosmic power and how to use it awaits with Kobold Guide to Magic from Kobold Press! This is not a book of the latest spells, wondrous items, or spellbooks for your tabletop game. This is how to use magic to tell a better story, pen an epic, and how to use it to the most effect in your campaign, without having to fall back on the "it's magic" excuse. Set aside the handwavium as authors like Wolfgang Baur, Ed Greenwood, Jeff Grubb, James Jacobs, Wes Schneider, Amber Scott—all veterans of penning campaign settings like Al-Qadim, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Spelljammer, and our own Pathfinder world of Golarion—will offer advice on how to add flavor to even the most basic of cantrips, embracing not knowing everything about magic, lost magics, the perils of prophecy, and how to work with teleport spells. Learn about Irish magic with Willie Walsh, dealing with magic and technology from David Chart, summoning creatures from beyond with James Jacobs, divine magic tips from Colin McComb, guilds and societies with Kenneth Hite, and how to sell your soul by F. Wesley Schneider are just a few of the topics covered in over 150 pages of essays. Game masters, world crafters, and story tellers of all kinds will benefit from this book—don't miss out on another must-have Kobold Guide!

Make the most of your game with the Kobold Guides, and don't miss out on everything from Kobold Press Kobold Press!

Nice! Awesome to see this bad boy featured on the front page!

There is just so much great stuff in this book.

In fact, all the great material actually caused a bit of a problem for me - while I was doing the layout, the articles were so interesting I kept stopping to read them.

Probably cost me an extra couple days of production time! :)

It was also great working with Ralph Horsley on that awesome cover art!

1 person marked this as a favorite.

For me, the big highlight is that we increased the page count over, say, the Guide to Worldbuilding, so we could invite in a few more writers.

And that may be related to James Jacobs and Wesley Schneider both contributing essays to this one.

Can't wait for my copy of Deep Magic!

Deep Magic is shipping as fast as we can get them out the door. It's our biggest Kickstarter by a factor of 3, so we've got some help packing them and getting them out.

Please do let me know when your copy of Deep Magic arrives. Some of them are going out with backer copies of the Kobold Guide to Magic (the higher-level pledges).

And yep, curious to hear people's reactions to the Kobold Guide essays by James Jacobs and Wesley Schneider. Thoughts?

Delightful. "Do Not Call Up That Which You Cannot Put Down" really puts a great spin on how to deal with summoned creatures, and who doesn't like soul trafficking? :P

My copy of the Deep Magic book showed up in the mail today! Are we going to get the pdf copies like we did the guide to magic? I was actually surprised to get the Deep Magic book so soon, I thought the last update said end of April. My group is going to be so glad it is hear, because we can start adding the book as an accepted resource!

So I just opened the book and scanned through it for a few minutes. Very Very nice!! 374 pages of awesome (Yes I know it's actually 375, but the OGL is yeah)

I am sure everyone will be happy to devour the information in the book. I actually upped my pledge so I could get a hard copy and gift it to my DM, I prefer my stuff in pdf format.

Since this kickstarter I've backed a couple more. Really glad to help folks who deliver quality stuff. I entered the Pathfinder world too late to get in the last KS for you guys.
