Morrus · 2013-07-11T14:06:00+00:00

Two Days Left! In two days I'll stop harping on about this, I promise! Our ZEITGEIST adventure path (Pathfinder / D&D 4E) hardcover Kickstarter ends really soon, and it's doing well! We're hopeful we can push through to that third-Act hardcover goal. I've made a handy-dandy Pledge/Reward Guide so that you can double-check you're on the right pledge level in these final hours. Thanks also to Paizo Publishing for their generous front-page plug for our project yesterday. As always, you guys are real class acts. In the meantime, we have cover art for the first Act (five adventures, plus a bonus adventure, plus two guides) from the always-wonderful Claudio Pozas. Pathfinder News Know Direction recorded most of PaizoCon, and is releasing it over the next few days as it's edited and processed. You can keep up to date in this thread. Paizo reports that July subscriptions will ship July 15th-19th. "Of note, there are two Campaign Setting volumes and two Companion volumes. Additionally, Dragon's Demand is the first modules volume using the new format (and new $24.99 price)." Download Paizo's 2013-2014 product catalog. Kobold Press' DEEP MAGIC Kickstarter closed successfully with $126,031. Dungeons & Dragons News The Halarkenblood Mystery -- Cormyr has some interesting families that do not have noble lineage, of course, and Ed shares one such with you this week.

New EDGE OF THE EMPIRE Sourcebook Announced FFG has just announced Enter the Unknown for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. It's slated for 4th quarter, 2013. Enter the Unknown is the first rules supplement for Edge of the Empire, featuring new content for the Explorer career, as well as hosts of new options for any player or game master. It provides tools for making stronger, deeper, and more diversified characters. New gear, droids, and vehicle options will enhance play for any group. Meanwhile, GMs can find advice on incorporating the themes of exploration, trade, and hunting into their campaigns. Community News Over at Geek's Dream Girl you can read an article about freelancers and getting paid. Gnome Stew wants to know How Much Space Do Those Goblins Need? Additionally, they discuss the perfect party composition. DUNGEON BASTARD On... THE CLERIC! This week in The Dungeon Bastard Guide To Class Warfare, Bill explores THE CLERIC. If you’ve ever whined about getting stuck playing the healer, guess what? YOU’VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apro94getuc&feature=player_embedded Boardgaming News Fantasy Flight Games talks to Michael Menzel, designer of the Kenner Spiel des Jahres winning Legends of Andor game. Forbes has an article about the upcoming World War Z board game. As might be expected, the game pits 2-4 players against hordes of zombies, but, interestingly, plays a lot like Pandemic.
