As a matter of curiosity, what is meant by "kobold" in the upcoming Fantasy Folk piece? Are we talking mine-gremlins from Germanic folklore (and their goblinoid and/or draconic offshoots in fantasy gaming) or the blue race of fools from Banestorm and the original Fantasy Folk?

[If the latter, I hope appropriate care has been taken. The outline in Fantasy Folk of their relationship with humans was fairly problematic even by the standards of the '90s, and hasn't gotten less so since then. "The fool" is an archetype that can be profitably explored in fantasy, but (for example) I think the bit where they have to be periodically exterminated lest their rapid breeding overwhelm human societies that they live in is something that really needs to go.]

That was changed a very long time ago, in GURPS Banestorm.
