[Contest] King of the Monsters


Product Discussion

The Exchange Kobold Press

The kobolds are doing the monster dance, and everyone is invited!

This contest is a straight-up monster design gig, which has been won by such gaming luminaries as Adam Daigle and others. You've got 800 words to write a cool new monster!

The winner will be published in a future issue of Kobold Quarterly.

The judges this time out include Ben McFarland (Streets of Zobeck), Adam Roy (Journeys to the West), and Sigfried Trent (Complete Advanced Feats). They'll choose 5 nominees, and the gaming public picks the winner!

Deadline? Friday, May 18, noon Pacific.

Details? King of the Monsters

Grand Lodge

Sounds like fun, I'm in ^^


Ah hah! I have found this contest this time.

Kobold Kings are not allowed to enter! It just wouldn't be fair for us lowly commoners.......

I've got the right monster, just need the right Midgard-fu.

It's true, once you don the raiment of a Kobold King of the Monsters, you are ineligible for the next contest.

However, I'll point out that 50% of all prior Kings of the Monsters have been hired by Paizo, so... That ain't bad.

Ugh, I was only joking.

Feeling bad now :<

Wolfgang,

Just to be clear: Eric won the Tin Crown contest which technically has nothing to do with the King of the Monster contest. Can he still compete?

Wait, where's that in the rules? Does that apply to me as winner of the Tin Crown, too? It's fine if that's the case, I just can't see where it says that...

My error: The prior King of the Monsters is usually asked in as a judge and thus ineligible.

Tin Crown is different, and I got my wires crossed. Boxhead, you are eligible to seize a second-and-completely-different crown!

(Note to self: Next contest offers a sceptre or wand or something. Too many crowns!)

An, perfect! Thanks or clearing that up, Wolfgang.

It most certainly is ON, Darkjoy!

But kobolds have a tradition of a ridiculous number of kings, we *have* to stick to crowns! :D

I don't recall if the OD kobolds use slurks. If so, how about the Royal Slurk Saddle?

The Exchange Kobold Press

The OD kobolds are more prone to dire weasels if they are available (see beautiful dire weasel rodeo art), but I am certain any kobold would be happy to ride a slurk if one is available.

The Royal Slurk Saddle has a very kobold-y ring to it. I like it.

Hm. It's been a while since I last designed a monster...

Well, I don't want my monster-fu getting rusty for lack of use. I'm in.


Just wrapping up a draft of my monster and figured this thread hadn't had enough love lately, so consider it bumped!

Yup, the thread needs more love, less than a week to enter!

I've already submitted my entry.


Just a bump to remind you all that this contest closes in 3 days!

Get your monsters in and ready to rumble for the title of "King of the Monsters!"

I'm working on one now. Hopefully will be better than my last attempt. : )

Just curious, is there an ETA for when the top five will be revealed?

The Exchange Kobold Press

Should be first week of June. Judges are discussing the options now, and we should have finalists soon!


The top 5 reveals have started, check them out at Kobold Quarterly!

The Exchange Kobold Press

Yep, we unleashed them a little early. Element of surprise and all that. :)
