Clockwork Magic!

It's one of the main ingredients that sets Zobeck apart from other fantasy settings.

Let's see it so that PCs and GMs can play with what makes this setting so special...

(I voted, I'm just lobbying)

I'll lobby with innercaine here - I voted for Clockwork Magic too in the next issue.

I definitely want to see that one first, but I would also like to see the Kobold Ghetto in the issue following that.

Or, Wolfgang could just do an all Zobeck KQ issue and run all of the articles together. :D

And I'll join Eyebite in saying that this article should be the next after Clockwork Magic! The human/kobold social dynamic is also a unique quality to the setting!

Otyugh's of Zobeck...
The secret underground nation of semi-intelligent, possibly psionic otyughs.

I'm the reverse, I'd like to see the Kobold Ghetto first, then the magic.

Re: I'd vote....
same with me, and I'm using firefox (version 2.0.0.14 to be exact). I can log in a thousand times but the stupid thing doesn't remember that once I return to the boards. *grumbles*

Re: I'd vote....
There's a horrible bug in that the board cookies can become corrupted. If you find you can't log in and stay logged in, try deleting the kobold cookie from your browser (or switch browsers). You should find the problem is resolved.

And yes, I'm working on a fix for this, but it's going to take time.

River traffic.

Clockwork magic and Kobold Ghetto need more than one page.

Point taken.. So long as interest in the topics are duly noted.

Not to mention, we might have a LOVELY Zobeck OD project that will cover much of the magic and ghettos information.

I think the KQ article needs to be more tangential...

I'll second this. If that's our limit... I'd need to go back and review choices.

Clockwork Oracle! Because oracles are wonderful instigators of adventures

oooooohhhhhh..... I like this one!
Sort of like a Zobeck version of Moxana from the Foglio's Girl Genius comics.

Or the Zoltar Speaks machine from the movie "Big".

I think a gear and magic oracle would have a WONDERFUL place in Zobeck!

I caught that reference, yeah, that would be pretty cool.

So many options . . .
I really like the Zobeck articles in KQ - they're one of the mainstays I've come to expect/really enjoy with each new issue.

Maybe, the regular Zobeck article needs more wordcount? If 850 words won't do it (that *is* I believe a single page, and no more), then maybe the Zobeck articles should take a more center-stage presence, rather than just back page status?

Just thinking out loud. The Zobeck articles remind me fondly of the FR articles we got in Dragon years ago - little tidbits that built up the realms (before WotC went and cleared all the pieces off of the table).

Hm. I really want to see the Clockwork Magic and Kobold Ghetto articles, but 850 words just won't do them justice. If larger articles like "Gangs" aren't possible in the future, maybe these pieces will have to show up in the sourcebook? I'm as anxious to see them as anyone, but I want them to get the full treatment they deserve.

Taking into account the discussiong on length and my vote for Zobeck OD6 (though I haven't put my money down yet, its around here somewhere), I voted for Cults! but apparently I'm alone on that one.

I could not find where to vote, however if I could have done then my vote would be for Clockwork Magic (1) and Kobold Ghetto (2)
