The new Kobold Quarterly is here!

Kobold Quarterly #12 is a great example of how Wolfgang Baur's company Open Design is courting all flavors of the world's most popular roleplaying game. For players of the 3.5 edition, Wolf has a new creature in the Inevitable of Death; six new Lords of the Abyss, and the Fallen Elves feature. If you prefer the 4th edition of D&D, you'll want to check out Zobeck's Winter Court, boon traps, combat skill challenges, relics of Zobeck, and plagues and diseases. And if your love is the Pathfinder RPG, you'll be happy to see the Ecology of the Frogemoth (with really funky life cycle artwork) and an article on specialty priests. There's even an article written by our own James Jacobs about the Burnt Offerings stage play, with pictures and all! Of course, there's a bunch of system-neutral content, like Monte Cook on game balance, historical ninjas, war wagons for Zobeck, and a dragon's lair map! Trust me: no matter what flavor(s) of your favorite sword-and-sorcery RPG you like to play, there's a lot of good stuff in Kobold Quarterly #12 to catch your eye.

Fans of D&D 4E will also want to check out two new Zobeck Gazetteers from Open Design. The Imperial Gazetteer lets you to travel deep within the palatial crypts of deep realms where death fears to tread. Vampires and spectral knights long ago claimed the country of Morgau & Doresh as their own, while leaving the ghouls their empire deep beneath the earth. Both nations are fully detailed in this volume by award-winning Open Designers Wolfgang Baur and Scott Gable. You get a history of the undead nations above and below the earth; a giant cast of undying antagonists and allies; a new undead race of necropolitan ghouls for PCs to join the unliving; the subterranean realms of the Emperor of the Ghouls; undead-themed gods and magical items; and more original, inventive undead than you can shake a stake at.

The Iron Gazetteer is a primer on the history and lore dwarven of the cantons, and more, all fully compatible with 4th Edition D&D. This handbook for heroism includes descriptions of all the dwarven cantons—even those fallen into ruin; an overview of dwarven society; new races and class builds; paragon paths, and epic destiny; perils of the Ironcrag mountains; new locales, traps and skill checks; enough new monsters to dull even dwarven-smithed steel; and a treasury of dwarven lore, campaign and character ideas, and secrets of the high peaks sure to improve your game.

All three of these Open Design products are available now both print and PDF versions.

I know there is a thread about Kobold Quarterly 12. I got it and it looks awesome.

This is about the title of the blog. I want to know the name of the person who came up with Froghemoth went a-courtin.

I've been walking around singing that all damn day and I can't stop!!!

I believe Lisa writes the store blog, so I'd bet she came up with the title.

Lisa does usually write it, though I often change the titles. That title, though, was all Lisa.

Thanks Wolf. Sometimes thinking up titles is like passing a kidney stone. Other times, it just flows out effortlessly. This time, it was the latter. But you have to blame Vic somewhat since he has had us listening to Bruce Springsteen's Seeger sessions and Bruce does a rendition of Froggie Went A'Courtin'. So it was a natural. :)

Okay Vic, now you have me wondering.

Cralius the Dark, do you have Sesame Street songs playing in your head now? Have you been singing one today?

Nah, this one didn't get me. Unless I'm totally missing something.

I'm kind of still reeling from the Boss singing Froggie went-a courtin'.

And I was more of an Electric Company kid.

Hmmm. Is is what it is. That's definitely Bruce. It's not really that bad I guess. Although if I never hear that song again it would be alright with me.
