Web Exclusive from Kobold Quarterly
The D&D Monster Manual states that the organisation of liches is solitary or a troupe (assisted by vampires). But what happens if love truly conquers all? Could two evil spellcasters decide that life without each other is simply impossible?
Here are two scenarios between entangled lovers in the mortal world, Kith and his lover Leptonia. Both are accomplished spellcasters who wish for the immortality of lichdom. Kith has already attained his undeath, and his lover wishes only one act to precede joining him – their marriage. Shortly thereafter, Leptonia becomes a willing participant in the ceremony to become a lich.
This lich’s tale expands on the material of the “Ecology of the Lich,” written by Richard Pett, and published in Kobold Quarterly #3.
Kobold Quarterly Promotion
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007
If you’ve been thinking about subscribing to Kobold Quarterly, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, now’s the time.
While supplies last, each new paper + PDF subscriber will receive a FREE set dice from Q-Workshop. I’ve held them in my hand, and these aren’t cheap hunks of plastic. They’re really nice dice.
But forget about the promotion for a moment, because KQ is getting bigger and better all the time. The January issue clocks in at 56 pages, with offerings from Keith Baker, Ed Greenwood, Ari Marmell, Wolfgang Baur, and more. You can’t get this kind of gaming content anywhere.
Arbeyach, Lord of the Locusts by Ari Marmell
Buzzzz! The master of famine, decay, and bureaucracy strikes down his foes like a plague. Or possibly a swarm. Is there a plague template?
Star & Shadow Magic
The secret school of Zobeck magic, found nowhere else! The heavens part, the stars descend, and we reveal the secrets of this uniquely Zobeckian form of magery.
Great gaming content!
From great authors!
At a great price!
Kobolds on the Brain
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007I’ve been working on a new website for Kobold Quarterly all evening. Actually, I’ve been doing it off and on for the better part of the last couple months. The creative juices are flowing, and I find myself thinking about:
What do people want from their gaming magazine’s website?
Do they just want a place to get information on the magazine? Do they really want yet another set of forums to go to? What about information on related topics–new releases, conventions, etc.?
What do people want from their gaming magazine?
I know, we all want great articles about GMing, playing, etc. We all want new fluff to drop into our games. We all like a solid bite of crunch to gnaw on. But what else? What about an article on snacks for gamers (Hershey Kyusses™, anyone?)? What about one on how to build a gaming room (“Pimp My GameRoom”)?
How much advertising is too much?
If you could have the same amount and quality of content, would you rather pay extra so that you didn’t have to look at ads? Where’s the breaking point?
What kind of cool promotions could we run?
Subscriber swag? What?
See? I play with a website, and look what happens to me!
Emeral City Gamefest
Saturday, November 17th, 2007I wanted to take the time to thank the organizers of the Emerald City Gamefest for their great event this year. Third Place Books, where it was held, turned out to be a great venue. The people were cordial and fun to be around. Most importantly, the gaming was great!
I spent the lion’s share of my time assuming the identity of Veelus (Male kobold Cleric 4), in
My sister, Erin, was gracious enough to spend some time handing out fliers for Kobold Quarterly, and I was pleased to see the dice we’ll be offering as a promotion for new subscribers in the near future. They’re gorgeous!
I got a chance to finally meet
“Brengan,” “Eleo” (Ann), and “Lothas” (Rob)… it was great gaming with you. I hope you’ll keep in touch!
