Kobold Quarterly is the scrappy little magazine of Open Design, a tiny journal that covers the world's premiere roleplaying game and the world's best fantasy adventures.

    The premiere issue features:
  • The Ecology of the Derro
  • The first installment of the Princes of Hell series
  • 8 excellent treasures
  • An interview with Paizo publisher Erik Mona
  • Steam & Sorcery
  • ...and more!

Reviewer: Chillos Smith

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!

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar like a kobold, this mag is long on attitude and short in stature
Reviewer: Sayler Van Merlin

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

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar A Good First Effort, and Much Promise for the Future
Reviewer: Kvantum

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Phenomenal!
Reviewer: The Jade

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.

I was an early subscriber and today it has more than paid off!!! The first issue is now available.

Seriously, if anyone out there is still mourning the loss of Dragon you need to give this a shot!

And for all you Logue fan-boys/girls/kobolds out there, it looks like Nicolas is writing the Ecology of the Barghest for the next issue.

Dithering Fool seems to be suffering the same enthusiasm as me. I figured I'd get my first copy and look for the strengths and ignore the weaknesses but frankly the product just roundhoused me. Well worth the money, and as the other post says there is a great interview with Erik. I had no idea people in Seattle ordered their Italian food with salmon.

I'm impressed and i haven't even read it. i guess if your dragon dies, what better revenge than to get a kobold! Just the name is poetic. Count me a fanboi( or is that a faery princess?)

I just purchased it. Haven't had a chance to read much of it yet, but looks really good so far, I'm impressed!

Now all of your souls belong to me, after sending a portion to Paizo and Wolfgang. ~an evil cacle echoes in the room~
