Planet Busters was a great Tom Wham game! This one and King of the Tabletop were the Tom Wham Dragon games we played the most often.

I recall seeing a posting for a an entry level pen and paper game designer position in Seattle where one of the assets/qualifications they were looking for was a degree that included the Humanities and/or history.

Ah, I stand corrected then. So their modules are not licensed 5E material, but are OGL material they have put together along with fan material. I wonder why they went that route?

They do have 5E modules for Herolab Classic so it looks like they probably have a 5E license.

He also wrote a number of articles and even some adventures in Dragon magazine pre-Dungeon magazine days.

No, if you look at Death on the Reik again you will see that it is a different, but similar Ian Miller illustration. In fact, it is the illustration he did for the cover of the novel "The Forge in the Forest", the second novel in the series the RPG is based on.

The artwork is not yet final according to the ICv2 link, so perhaps having it in the RPG instead of the Campaign Setting line may just be an error in the temporary artwork.

Well that was pretty cool. Thanks Morrus! Looking forward to reading and running this.

The layoffs were at Goblinworks. It's a different entity from Paizo, but Lisa Stevens is the CEO of both (she was appointed acting CEO of Goblinworks after the departure of Ryan Dancey). From the FAQ section of the release today: Q: Is Paizo taking over running Goblinworks? A: No...

Yes, I would buy into that: a story based game set somewhere in Golarion like Riddleport or Absalom or the like.

As JohnnyZemo and others have said, there were still lots of out of MMO goodies such as the Thornkeep and Emerald Spire adventures, miniatures, and various contributed bonus PDFs that went along with the Kickstarters. I have no regrets at buying in to both Kickstarters. I wonder if part of the...

I think Paizo's usage can be traced back to Necromancer Games using Jubilex in the Tome of Horrors: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?122123-Necromancer-Jubilex-as-OGC

And with pipes.... of the sewers?

I do like whimsy in the right circumstances: a short adventure, an interlude, or encounter in a longer adventure. As a sustained element in an Underdark adventure that is supposed to be all about demons, it felt more than a bit wrong to me, so I voted no. Maybe I'll be surprised when we see...

HPL can be hard going because of the writing style. One option if you are interested is to check out the radio plays and movies that the HPL Historical Society have created over at http://www.cthulhulives.org. They are quite good!

Not sure if I count. I'm not exactly a hater. I'm more of an avoider because Savatore's FR novels have always looked kind of lame. I actually do have a few I've picked up over the years for a quarter or so at yard sales, but have never been able to bring myself to read them. OFf the top of...

I was not aware that Michael Shea had died. That makes me sad. I rather enjoyed his stories, especially Nifft the Lean. I hope you're right in that Green Ronin managed to push the adventure more that way than the Lewis Caroll Alice in Wonderland pastiche Perkins was alluding to.

Maybe it's a boss monster/encounter so they made it a bit bigger for effect like you often see in MMOs?

Funny, I was telling someone the exact opposite thing a few days ago and was suggesting the Titansgrave episodes were a bit more like a real game because the players weren't so busy hamming it up for an audience.

I never cared for those articles at the time and I'm kind of surprised that WoTC considers them Canon. Maybe because Ed Greenwood wrote them? I guess they made a better impression on other folks.
