I am done transcribing the interview with Paizo publisher
Erik Mona for
Kobold Quarterly #1. The whole thing totals more than 10,000 words, which he managed in just about an hour. The man can *talk*, ladies and gentlemen.
Now I just have to choose which half of those words will actually see print. As I have learned many times in many interviews, from Piers Anthony to China Mieville, this is why interviews are not just "free word count". But lemme tell ya, it's a crackerjack interview.
I'm happy to announce the launch of
Kobold Quarterly, an Open Design 'zine for gamers! The first issue will appear this summer, and all those who subscribe before the first issue ships will be charter subscribers.
