Kobold Queries and Comics

  • Jun. 27th, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Kobold
The Quarterly now officially has comics in it. I'm very, very pleased by this development.

Also, the queries from the industry professionals are picking up, including a few names you'd certainly recognize (hint: they have written boxed sets and many a fine Dragon article). Those queries mean good stuff for issue #2, and whaddya know, a subscription covers that issue, plus issues #3 and #4. So why not sign up today, before the rates go up on July 1st?






As an added bonus, my pathetic failure as an advertising sales guy is YOUR gain! I promise minimal ads in the first issue.

Industry writers sound good from my subscriber point of view. They sound bad from my getting-smaller-by-the-minute chances of ever getting an article published! :-)

Well, there is that trade-off. :)

Seriously, though, every industry pro was a beginner at some point. And I hope that the Q&A around some of the Open Design topics has helped a little.

I think Olaf the Stout means, that if you have enough material from industry professionals, you do not need beginner queries.
On the other hand, as the Kobold is not (yet) a print magazine, there should be space enough for some new talents*.

Off topic: What I would like to see for a future Issue of Kobold is an article about "How to build spells". This is still terra incognita for me. Sean K. Reynolds was or is working on a PDF with this theme but otherwise I don't know any supplement that adresses the creation of spells.

*yes, yours truly submitted a query too.

I remember looking forward to Sean's "New to the Game" and "How to Build Spells" books back when The New Argonauts was first published. But that was a long, long time ago.

I'm glad he's been keeping busy with the "Core Beliefs" columns for Dragon, though! Those articles have kept me looking for back issues.

I believe you've just posted the first article request for KQ. If Sean or someone else queries this and delivers the article, it's likely to see print in issue #2 or #3.

Comics?
WHO?!?

This could be a huge selling point for some people.

I'm a big fan of his work, and have been for years, but it's not OotS (can't afford it) or Phil & Dixie (REALLY can't afford it).

It's good funny, though. Actually, two toons in the first issue.

Re: Comics?
That would make me so happy I can't even begin to say. No, Mr. Trampier has no interest in drawing again; he's been pretty firm on that point for a while.
