Usually we post a Table of Contents as a sneak peek a few days before the zine goes into the mail. Usually.
Given our topic this time, we simply put zines into the mail and waited to see when they would show up on ethereal messaging....
So YES, the new zine here a bit early! Kobolds are the topic, the cover is by artist Bryan Syme, and the contents are truly amazing, rarely rev...

Here be dragonborn, and they are not pleased! This adventure for 4th level characters by designer HH Carlan is set in the Mharoti Empire, and the heroes are wanted for crimes they may not have committed.

After deep research and careful study, we're getting ready to ship out Warlock 33, covering our favorite ancient and fallen empire, with all the vril technology, obscure lore, and lost magic of Ankeshel.
As the Table of Contents shows, there's 2 sections, and both are large, weighty, and very much worth your while. The first is packed with surprising gear, an arcane subclass, 3 new creatu...
