I was wondering if anyone else here had already subscribed? Is it worth it? Is it a good magazine? Well, the first issue came out yesterday. Definitely high quality articles. Not much in the way of ads, yet. Contents Editorial: Small but Fierce Ecology: Ecology of the Derro by Wolfgang Baur. The laughing little dwarves are not your friends. Charts and Graphs: Underdark Monster Table Princes of Hell: Titivillus, the Scribe of Hell by Wolfgang Baur. More evil is wrought with the pen than with the sword. Dungeon Design: It’s Not (Always) the Gold by Wolfgang Baur. Kobold Diplomacy: An Interview with Erik Mona. A few words from the Paizo archmage. The Kobold FAQ Flashing Blades:The Ups and Downs of Tripping Attacks. by Sigfried Trent 2 Cartoons by Stan! Bestiary: The Far Darrig by Scott Gable Free City of Zobeck: Steam & Sorcery by Wolfgang Baur

The ecology of the Derro article is quite solid, as is the article on Zobeck (but then again, I'm a sucker for clockwerk/steampunk stuff.) I'm about halfway through the Far Derrig piece, which presents the new monster in some detail and contains a specific, racial-type 20 level class. All in all, it's an excellent purchase, imo.

The eight non-monetary treasures should also make DMs think a little more. The article on the devil was nicely done, and provides a low and high CR critter for use. Also, the magazine makes mention that there is a print copy available. Sure, we love our PDF, but paper copies of Kobold Quarterly are also available as single issues or by subscription. Our scribes are standing by. Back Issues Each single issue is $6 plus shipping. Shipping is $3 for the US, $4 for Canada, and $6 for Europe.
