D&D (2024) Looking For an Old Dragon Magazine Article on Kobolds

R_J_K75 · Mar 7, 2025

I'm prepping for my next D&D24 session running "the Winged God" from DMG24. Kobolds are the main adversaries. I did a quick thread title search here but can't find what I'm looking for. There was an article in Dragon Magazine in early 3E days (I think) about making Kobolds sneaky, using traps, and various alchemical weapons etc. Does anyone know which issue that was, if it was even in Dragon Mag? It doesn't even need to be that specific article, anything similar will help. I'm looking to incorporate some of the Kobolds from Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts 1, 2, & 3, as well as the Creature Codex. Thanks.

Thanks, but the link isn't working for me. I tried my cell and laptop and get an error message. A Google search should get me there eventually. Was that originally in Dragon?

EDIT: Looks like its a chrome extension error. I dont have Chrome installed.

Yup. It was a very old Dragon Magazine article (Issue #127) that I think was probably reprinted in a later iteration (the online only version) of Dragon in the 2000's.

Sorry about that, I sent you a link to WOTC's site archive which was a pdf download of the actual article....

Thanks again, I'll find it. My memory is horrible these days, but I have a recollection of reading that article for 3E (at least the one I'm thinking of) when I had a print subscription in the late 90s through the mid-2000s, but who knows what the actual reality of it is.

I think I have their archive page bookmarked, is it from the 4E online Dragon era?

Yeah, I found this just now too, but it is not the article I'm thinking of. I really can't recall enough details about it to give an accurate description of it to help people find it. I think it was one of those 101 Ways to...., maybe mischievous Kobolds or something. I'm going to look through my issues of Dragon and see if I can find it.

When it comes to old Dragon issues, DragonDex is invaluable.

DragonDex - Index of Articles

It has three entries under Kobold:

Subject	Title	Author	Issue	System
Culture and religion	"Humanoids, The"	Roger E. Moore	63(26)	D&D1
Ecology of	"Ecology of the Kobold, The"	Mat Smith	332(58)	D&D3
FORGOTTEN REALMS	"Elminster's Notebook"	Ed Greenwood	216(100)	D&D2

Main site: The DragonDex - A complete index to Dragon Magazine

Cheers,
Tim
