Just got my first exposure to this magazine three weeks ago and was blown away! So excited! Finally found something to fill the hole in my heart left by Paizo’s printed Dragon magazine and Dungeon magazine. Now this.

All I can say is “B-b-b-but…. h-h-hey…. I just….. just got here….”

Feeling bummed. Feels like I’m always too late. I have a feeling back issues will all be gone before I can afford them. Any chance of reprinting them? or a collection?

A dagger, a dagger in my heart I say. Surely there must be some steward who could take up the…

I’m sorry. I’m getting carried away. Thank you for sharing so many talents and creative works. I hope Kobold Press has the best of luck with their settings or supplements and whatnot.

KQ was great and filled the void left by print Dragon & Dungeon. I’ll miss the magazine.

Just purchased Midgard a couple weeks ago and it’s great! I’ll definitely continue to support Kobold Press.

My heart just dropped when reading the headline. I am at a loss for words beyond an expression of thanks. Thank you all for the Kobold Quarterly. It was love at first sight and I will miss it deeply.

Although it did not cater enough to the game I was interested in, I was very impressed with the quality of your magazine. My condolences to your readers.

I’m very sorry to hear the news. I’ve been enjoying issue 23 for the last couple weeks now and I’m certainly going to miss the magazine.

I do have one thing I’m curious about though that I don’t see mentioned above. I was looking at the teaser page for what would have been issue 24 last night. The articles looked really great, especially the super-science one. Are there any plans to release those articles as PDFs maybe? I’d be very sad to see them consigned to the realm of vapourware forever.

Wow – It almost feels as if a real flesh and blood friend has died. True, the web site remains and other projects are in the works, but the magazine was (to me) the axis around which everything else revolved.

For half a decade Kobold Quarterly / Kobold Press has offered a sense of community far beyond anything TSR or WotC ever achieved. I look forward to that community living on, even though right now I’m filled with a terrible sense of loss.

Sorry to see it go! Glad to know that other project will be forthcoming. Who knows, perhaps 5e, PF, and the OSR can all share adventures in the future seamlessly? This would for sure make a KQ like product more viable in the future. 6/12 issue sub on KS.

One thing though- could you put the Open Design podcast back up on iTunes? I can’t find the Tony D interview you guys did a few years ago. It was excellent and I would cherish to hear it again.
