Can you believe it? Our kobold traps are still disabled from the gnome raid, which means you can just waltz into our vaults and make off with a FREE issue of Kobold Quarterly #14.

(If you don’t waltz, you can tango into our vaults. The Charleston is also acceptable.)

Go to the Kobold Store, add issue #14 to your cart, and enter the coupon code KoboldWelcome at checkout to snatch a PDF copy of your own. It’s our big Gen Con 2010 issue, with nearly 100 pages of articles by Ed Greenwood, Monte Cook, Skip Williams, Adam Daigle, Michael Furlanetto, John Baichtal, Jeff Tidball, Tim and Eileen Connors, John Wick and many others—plus an interview with Rob Heinsoo.

While you’re there, you might also want to get a copy of the new issue, Kobold Quarterly #20. Heck, you might even want to subscribe.

Remember, the vault closes again on February 14, so act soon!

So, you’ve written up the perfect ghastly encounter that has caused your players to shiver in their seat. Or maybe you’ve statted out a roguish creature who delights in tormenting your group’s adventurers. Perhaps you’ve fleshed out an artifact or relic in your game that you’d love to share with the world! Whatever the case, this is a reminder to you that we’re accepting submissions for the Kobold Quarterly blog, as well as for the magazine! To learn more about what we’re looking for, please venture over to our submissions guideline page and give them a good read.

We would love to see what sorts of creative things all of you have come up with for your games.

While we’re here, we want to thank those who have already sent in submissions, plus we thank those who have commented on the blog.

Curses! Those dirty gnomes have staged their annual raid on our vaults, this time through a clever scheme involving ridiculous moustaches, a grappling hook, twenty pounds of cheese, and a windmill.

While our kobold guards are off chasing the culprits, you can sneak in and download a FREE issue of Kobold Quarterly magazine. Go to the KQ Store, add issue #14 to your cart, and enter the coupon code KoboldWelcome at checkout to snatch a PDF copy of your own.

Today the brand new expanded edition of the Zobeck Gazetteer is out for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game! This invaluable reference for the Free City includes material collected from dozens of sources as well as all-new content that you’ve never seen before.

Originally created by Wolfgang Baur for his own home D&D campaign and built out over years of adventures, sourcebooks, and Kobold Quarterly articles, Zobeck is an exotic and powerful trade city at the crossroads of the Midgard campaign setting. Stern griffon riders keep watch atop its towers, kobolds scuttle in the shadows, and long-forgotten sorcerous clockwork experiments stir to life in bricked-up cellars.

It was a requirement of the art contract for Kobold Quarterly #20 that the art be created to some rock music and that there be video evidence. Long time KQ cover designer Richard Clark did not disappoint! (Check it out after the jump or click here.)

Are you an artist? Do you want to show off your talent? We have a contest just for you! Check out our announcement for the Kobold Artistry contest to learn more about the deadline (which is coming up soon!), plus the rules.

And if you’re not an artist, stay tuned for some writing contests coming up this year. In the meantime, if you don’t already have your copy of Kobold Quarterly #20, now is definitely a good time to snag it!
