I wonder if this still works.

Green Ronin has posted a (patron-generated) preview. Without spoiling anything, it does a really good job capturing the mood and some of the themes of the adventure.

And why do one preview when you can do TWO? Take a look at what Steven Robert - author of fan-favorite Pathfinder Society scenarios Tide of Morning and Citadel of Flame - did with Freeport traits!

And Adam Daigle, one of the authors of the Freeport Companion: Pathfinder RPG Edition - and a patron of this project - has offered a signed author's copy of the Companion to one lucky new patron. Sign up now to win!

With the migration of projects to the Kobold Forums, I find that I have neglected to share some good news here. Open Design is doing an official Freeport adventure, under license from Green Ronin.

The lead designer is Michael Furlanetto (one of the brightest stars of many projects to date), and Chris Pramas and I will both be chiming in as well. The brainstorming has begun, the project is 40% of the way to commission, and frankly it's looking like the best demon adventure I've seen since.... Well, since the Planescape days. Seriously.

Please support Dark Deeds in Freeport, because we've been handed the keys to a very cool city indeed!

Hard to believe it, but the Northlands project of tropes for fantasy is almost fully funded!

Valkyries and primeval giants, linnorms and creatures of the boreal woods, and everything from Conan to the norse sagas is fair game for this one. The Frozen Empires Pathfinder RPG project includes:

• New magic, including grudge magic and runes
  
• New feats and alternate class abilities for rangers, druids, barbarians, and oracles
  
• New equipment, arctic chase cards, and easy wilderness survival rules
  
• Original, bigger-than-life monsters, plus wild creatures from myth and legend
  
• Evocative settings easy to drop into any northerly area of Golarion, Zobeck, Oerth, or the Realms -- or your world
  
• Much much more, from magic mead to the spears of the Valkyries!

Join us as a patron today, before the price goes up!

Since Courts of the Shadow Fey is in final layout, it's time to announce the NEXT 4th Edition project: Logan Bonner of Wizards of the Coast fame will be leading an adventure anthology called The Lost City.

The light elves and reaver dwarves of Midgard await you, so take ax in hand and join us in the next Pathfinder RPG Open Design project: Frozen Empires, Glories of the North by Dan Voyce and the patrons of Open Design.

If you would like to design new spells, feats, items, and societies inspired by the legends of Thule, Trollheim, Hyperborea — or invent new ones — then this is your chance.

Full details and signup now available.

The kobold crew will be attending in full force at the show. Here's our seminar schedule, and of course we'll have a booth as well. If there's interest, might even do a bit of blogging or twittering from the booth as well.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

I'm very happy to announce that the popular Imperial Gazetteer for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is now available in PRINT! The quality of both text and art really comes across here, and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

Open Design is proud to offer this edition of the Imperial Gazetteer. Let me know what you think of it!

After much revision and work by myself, declench, terraleon, and fray, the Pathfinder RPG has a new source of terror and mayhem: the Imperial Gazetteer of the undead lands of Zobeck.

Please spread the word and let us know what you think of it, good or bad. I hope that this is the first of many Pathfinder RPG gazetteers!

Spring is the time when a kobold's fancy turns to thoughts of love... and PC-devouring Shoggoths. Issue #13 of Kobold Quarterly is out now, and it's a heart-shaped box of RPG goodies that includes a mix of delicious fluff and satisfying crunch.

In this issue, you'll find Sex and Romance in RPGs, the astonishing Ecology of the Shoggoth, a new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game base class (the Arquebusier of Alkenstar), 4th Edition cultist classes and gambler's magic, and more: a complete Pathfinder Roleplaying Game mini-adventure, and new Freeport background for the Dragon Age RPG by Chris Pramas.

All of this plus great features from Wolfgang Baur, Monte Cook, and other regular contributors. You can pick up issue #13 here and celebrate the return of spring to the mines.

13 Issues. I know, I'm as shocked as you are, but hey, three years of Kobold Quarterly and no signs of stopping. If anything, we're picking up speed.
