After years of making worlds stranger, adventures bolder, and Kobolds just a little more dangerous, Celeste Conowitch is setting off on a new adventure.

Celeste has been an integral part of Kobold Press for years, leaving her mark across some of the company’s most ambitious projects. From the shadowy realms of Book of Ebon Tides to the creation of Tales of the Valiant, her work has helped shape the games and worlds we know and love.

As the lead designer of Tales of the Valiant, Celeste helped guide the game from its earliest design work through its launch, working alongside the design team and community to build an extension of the 5th Edition Creative Commons D&D ruleset. Her passion for creating a game that balances compatibility and new ideas helped shape the ToV ruleset we know and love today.

And she isn’t leaving the Warrens without one more adventure. Most recently, Celeste helped bring Underworld to life, diving deep beneath the surface to create a setting filled with strange peoples, dangerous factions, ancient ruins, and countless opportunities for adventure.

But Celeste’s impact can’t be measured by the books she’s worked on alone. She’s been a designer, collaborator, mentor, worldbuilder, and one of the voices helping define Kobold Press. Her creativity, curiosity, and willingness to ask “what if?” have made their way into countless adventures and, ultimately, countless gaming tables.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything Celeste has brought to the Warrens and to the Kobold community. While we’re sad to see her go, we’re excited to see what strange and wonderful places she explores next.

Celeste, thank you for everything.

May your next adventure be filled with excellent stories, terrible decisions, and just the right amount of critical successes.
