It’s December 19, 2012. That means that if you haven’t already submitted a pitch to the Valhalla Calling contest, you’re just about out of time! The contest deadline is on December 20th (tomorrow), so if you feel the call of Valhalla, you have less than a day to do something about it!
For more information, take a look at the contest rules.
It’s time for a status report on where things are with the Valhalla Calling contest. As of this writing, the contest has 56 entries. That means that if you haven’t yet written and sent in a pitch, you can still do so! Because the deadline is December 20th, you also still have that all important resource of time to make this happen, too!
So, if you haven’t answered the call of Valhalla quite yet, you can still do so!
To learn more about this contest, just read the contest rules.
We hope to hear from you soon if you haven’t already sent in your pitch!

Adventure Designers Wanted
Sound the horns of Valhalla! Adventure awaits, and you might be the one who provides this adventure to a multitude of stalwart heroes!
Valhalla Calling is our newest and most awesome contest from Kobold Press. If you have an idea for a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game or AGE System adventure that you’d love to design and see published by Kobold Press, write and submit a 400-word pitch for a 32-page adventure. If you have participated in Open Design projects before, you’ll be familiar with the demands of a pitch; if not, a summary of writing a successful pitch is available in the Kobold Guide to Game Design, Vol. 2
A panel of industry professionals will pick five finalists from these submissions, and the voting public will choose the winner from among those five. That person will hear the call to Valhalla, which will come in the form of a design contract to write a 32-page RPG adventure module. Learn more after the jump.
I, Wolfgang Baur, eccentric game designer, receive letters from Kobold fans all over the globe. Kobold Quarterly and Open Design products are being played and enjoyed in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. This Fall I will release the Midgard Campaign Setting, a worldbook featuring seven fantastic regions of mystery and adventure.
The other evening I had an epiphany that connected the two: to celebrate the monumental occasion of Midgard’s release, I am launching the Kobold World Conquest Challenge.
From July 1st through July 30th, gaming groups from North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia can enter the Challenge by doing the following:
I will randomly choose one winner from each continent to receive a prize package with PDF copies of:
But what of the mysterious and forbidding seventh continent? The icy waste where dwell giant shoggoths, shape-shifting aliens entombed in crashed saucers, and ravenous dire penguins?
When will Antarctica know the kobold’s tread?
