followed the link... it still wants six bucks for it. I think you were a day too late on posting this.

Hmmm ...nope, the offer goes to Feb 9th.

Maybe try again - I know there are a LOT of people downoading and I saw one report of a temporary glich like the one you encountered. In that case, the free download just took a little while to register.

Awesome! Thank you. I am now going to get your newsletter and, once I get an ID theft problem taken care of, you may be getting a subscriber. I have seen quite a bit of the free stuff you guys have put out and I like it. I just have had some issues lately that I don't want to affect my purchasing a subscription.

This is only for non-subscribers, I take it? My sub started at #12, but I went back and got the print version of #11. No biggie.

Not sure who started saying the code is KQ11Free, but that's the wrong code. Correct code is KQ11Gift; that one is working for a LOT of people.

EDIT TO ADD: Joe, the offer is for everyone, so if you want the PDF, it's yours until Feb 9.

Very cool! I just downloaded it.

'Twasn't me! :)

Ah, thank you. Was using the wrong code. Downloading now.

Ack! That's my fault! I must have made a mistake in reposting!

The important thing is that the everyone knows what the correct promo code is - KQ11Gift and that everyone can download their free copy!

This just goes to show that KQ needs more modes of communication with its fans...like...A PODCAST!

I got the code and am downloading now. Also just FYI, they have very slow download servers. I am downloading at only 62 kbs. I have an 800 kb connection.

Ugh. Well, it's worth the wait, if that helps.

I suspect the slow download speed may be due to the number of people taking advantage of the free issue offer ...

You are correct; the servers are gerbil-powered and our bandwidth has to be capped, or else this promotion takes down the whole site.

So we do throttle it back a bit to keep the servers from exploding. FWIW, you can download the issue any time in the future as well.

I found that erroneous code on the KQ site too. But no matter, cause (cue Underdog theme) here you are to save the day!

Honestly, this is a pretty awesome thing. Thank you for providing the opportunity to get a free copy.

The thing thast makes me sad about giveaways like this is that, great as they are as bait for potential new customers, they don't do much for the addicts who've already bought what's been given away. I'm not sure what a good solution for that would be though.

Well, I believe there is a Best of Kobold Quarterly coming out at some point this year. Maybe Wolfgang could do something extra cool with it just for subscribers or something ......

Ah, don't be a sad kitty...it's good for us subscribers if KQ brings in more subscribers. (Further, I think it's good if you try to get more like-minded subscribers from your circle.)

Oddly enough, I've never gotten around to subscribing, just bought the PDFs when they come out. I'd never had a compelling reason to sign up to the KQ site and store I think. Since I just did to get in on the Midgard Patron project, I'll be changing that once KQ17 comes out.

Subscribing is good. I've only gone for the electronic sub, but I've been happy with it.

Yep, the magazine does need new subscribers to keep growing, but KQ does also have some goodies for subscribers beyond the four issues a year and the blog.

I'm planning one of those goodies for April.

A free podcast? 8)
