The Kobolds' Art Exhibition Review

The Kobolds' Art Exhibition is a quirky piece of indie gaming goodness that everyone should check out. Featuring writing and art by Evlyn Moreau, the 32 page black and white booklet details a traveling art exhibition ran by a tribe of kobolds. This really is one of a kind little expansion to any dungeon. 

The titular kobolds travel via a magic painting that depicts the room the art installation is in. This painting then repaints itself and becomes a portal to the next empty dungeon room the portal leads to. This means that over the course of a campaign, the party could encounter the group several times in several different locations. Once the group arrives, they set up their art. scout the dungeon, search for other art to procure, and become a unique (but temporary) dungeon oddity.  The tribe members are given stats and nice snapshots for DM's to work with. In addition, the business side of the group is discussed as is the art itself. There are several tables to keep things interesting. 

This book is entertaining, quirky as Hell, and definitely reusable. I love Evelyn's artistic style and plan on including this one of a kind kobold tribe in my game. 

According to the product page, this is written for Labyrinth Lord specifically, but obviously can easily be adapted to any iteration of D&D. You can get this unique piece of OSR goodness in print or pdf
