I really enjoyed the first issue and it definitely has great potential to grow and become much more. I look forward to the next issue and many afterwards. Three cheers for printed media!

good crunch, good fluff,good comics,too short and too far between installments-

as far as editing, there was the odd word left out here and there( like "of" and "do")

this magazine deserves to grow to epic kobold proportions-tell your friends, I will!

p.s. be sure to request Wolfgang to include some adventures in future issues

The first issue from Wolfgang Baur's Kobold Quarterly is a very interesting new offering in the D&D/d20 world. It has a good mix of articles, both fluffy and crunchy (although its comics are a bit flat, Stan! should lay off the old April issue of Dragon-style puns), and it shows a lot of promise for what it can turn into in the future.

Jiro the Grey Wyrm (the cover model and apparent mascot of the KQ) has a few things to work on here and there, true (editing and typo issues, but then again if we complain about that, we'd have to condemn just about every book WotC's released for the last five years), but the promise shown in articles like the continuation of the Ecology series (Derro) and the first of the Princes of Hell (Titivillus, the CR 24 prince of scribes) makes a subscription well worth any D&Der's $16, or the $6 for this first issue.

It's really a 4.5 star product, 4 for execution and 5 for promise of the future. Don't hesitate at all, folks. If you miss the Dragon, give a certain little Kobold a try. You won't regret it.

The first issue of KQ greatly surpassed my expectations with compelling articles I couldn't put down and artwork beyond compare. See for yourself, you'll know what I mean.

There’s an interview with Erik Mona that I actually read and enjoyed despite my aversion to interviews.

Great comix by Stan!

KQ has a sleek layout that pulls you along from cover to cover. What's more, there's a print version available, and for me that's huge.

KQ is well worth the money. I think Wolfgang’s knocked one out of the park.
