Put the "pro" in protagonist with Kobold Quarterly #17!

A good villain is the backbone of any great campaign, and the latest issue of Kobold Quarterly from the fine folks at Open Design aims to teach you a few tricks about them. The recurring antagonist gets an upgrade with Michael Kortes’ article “So We Meet Again”, which introduces adversary abilities for both you and your rival.

Want official Pathfinder Society content? It’s here with “Ambush in Absalom” by Mark Moreland. In this issue of Kobold Quarterly, we’re introducing the concept of Pathfinder Society Quests: two to three short encounters grants you a single-use boon or ability. Keep an eye on the Paizo blog for future Pathfinder Society Quests, and the Pathfinder Society Additional Resources page for their Chronicle sheets!

Fire is fun—at least, that’s what the goblins keep telling me. “Magical Squibs, Crackers, and Fireworks” from Jonathan McAnulty has my inner goblin cackling with glee, and Matthew J. Hanson’s fantastical foods in “Elf Needs Food Badly” has got me rubbing my tummy (there’s even pickles)!

Multiple systems get articles in this issue, with Dragon Age, Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, and Pathfinder all getting page time, as well as system-neutral advice columns from Tom Allman, Monte Cook, Scott A. Murray and Mario Podeschi.

Don’t forget to check out Soldiers of Fortune, Sunken Empires, and Tales of Zobeck for campaign-inspiring ideas, and the KOBOLD Guides to Game Design to further perfect your GM skills!
