...the Kobold Quarterly website, which has free new monsters available on mondays, and a new article for traps has appeared today.
Although the whole website is tainted by the addition of a piece by Logue, you may want to check it out - I hear there are some very cool monsters indeed appearing on the site, and also in the next edition of KQ!
Ahem...
Check Joshua Steven's sample monster here
Huzzah!

Thanks for the shout out Rich!
The mighty John Ling has also written several monster entries for the Monday Monsters series on the KQ site - notably: The Nain Rouge, The Jersey Devil, and most recently Skinned Tom. If you're at all familiar with John Ling's work, you know it's always absolutely top notch.
I was happy to contribute an article on Spring-Heeled Jack, a monster based on true stories that I've been fascinated with since I was a kid. I strongly urge any monster lovers to go check them out! (And, they're totally free!)
Also, beginning today the Tuesday Traps series has started - and I had the privilege of writing the first one: The Price of Greed, about an insidious little alchemical concoction the kobolds of Zobeck have created named "Silverlust."
Enjoy! And keep coming back to the Kobold Quarterly website. Wolfgang is a devious madman (and a creative genius), and who knows what other crazy stuff he has planned. Stay tuned.
Thats great news. Spread the love for Kobold Quarterly. I had read the first two issues of KQ and was suitably impressed but then it sorta dropped off my radar. Anyway, keep up the good work over there.

Yep some interesting monster ideas being cranked out over there at Kobold Q. Regularly, I have to go over there, knock them in the head, and take their new monster away with me.
Wasn't SpringHeel Jack just done in a recent Dragon? I'd have to look it up to be sure, just wondering about the licensing (although obviously the concept is PD).
...this isn't one of those "sheep wearing lipstick" things?

Maybe he was?
I don't have the issue, but two versions of the same thing can't be bad. Just pick the one you like for your game.
He's based on actual events that occurred in England, and I tried to keep Jack as close to the original as possible.
If you find the issue, let me know if you get the chance. I'd love to see someone else's take on him. I've been intrigued by the Spring-Heel Jack mystery since I was a kid.
