    Congratulations to the 2015 ENnies Award Winners!

    It's difficult to win awards in categories for which you are not nominated. For whatever reason, the judges chose not to nominate many of our products this year. Perhaps we will be luckier next year. From our perspective, we're very pleased to have won awards for 3 of the 4 categories in which...

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    There is, indeed, money in our tiny industry.

    D&D 5E I believe the Greyhawk Campaign setting was a missed opportunity for Wizards of the Coast.

    In one of the 2e splat books ("Monstrous Mythology," I think), Carl Sargent sort of snuck in Tharizdun as the "Dark God" and also mentioned the Elder Elemental Eye. This was in the period when Greyhawk was not officially supported, so it was pretty exciting to see. It seemed that calling...

    Pathfinder Miniatures: Iconic Heroes Set #1 Final Photos

    We're waiting for WizKids to give us the go-ahead. They aren't soliciting them to distributors as rapidly as they used to because the pace has slowed (now that they are doing D&D minis, too), so we're just in a weird hole waiting to unleash the next pile of images. They are coming! :)

    What to Expect from PATHFINDER UNCHAINED!

    It's a big book of optional rules meant to be used in conjunction with the Core Rulebook. It is in no way a replacement for that book. It does have several optional ways to treat different rules aspects, from new approaches to skills and combat feats to new takes on a handful of classes. It's...

    Thanks, Sniper! That is definitely what we are shooting for!

    Pathfinder 1E Occult Adventures playtest available

    There is, of course, going to be a ton of stuff in this book that is not new classes. These being the most complex rules features in the book, they are the focus for the playtest. But Occult Adventures is also going to include a bunch of archetypes for existing classes, new feats new things to...

    Pathfinder 1E Occult Adventures playtest available

    It's perhaps more accurate to say this is Paizo's take on psychic and occult themes within the context of the game rules. We aren't using the term "psionics" for a number of reasons, but the most important one is that we don't want people to have to learn an entirely new system of rules just to...

    Pathfinder 1E Where does Pathfinder go from here?

    The two books are actually from different product lines. Osirion, Land of Pharaohs, is a Player Companion book we published in 2008 (six years ago). It is 32 pages with a focus on player character rules (although in fairness this one had more world detail than most player companions). It's...

    GenCon 2014 in Review

    We'll be talking a lot in the coming weeks about how to make the line management go better. We actually rang more sales and helped more customers per day than we did in previous years, but a lot of folks were indeed very disappointed with the long lines. Unfortunately, the mad crush to the booth...

    D&D 5E Given WotC plans with the RPG will 5e always be the #1 seller?

    This thread may not be a full on edition war, but it definitely prominently features at least one edition warrior….

    D&D 5E Second guessing WOTC

    That's not actually true. The Beginner Box was designed to get people playing the game within 15 minutes of opening the box, something we tested in formal product testing environments. The directions on the cover page of the box suggest that people play with pregens in the opening adventure...

    Pathfinder 1E IF Paizo was planning a Pathfinder 2.0 what signs would we see?

    The book is called Pathfinder Unchained, btw, not Pathfinder Unleashed. Carry on! ;) --Erik

    D&D 5E What about Dungeon and Dragon Magazines?

    Every page of every issue of every D&D magazine Paizo ever published was fully vetted and approved by the Wizards of the Coast staff.

    D&D 5E Dungeons and Dragons at Origins

    I know, right? The mind reels at the possibilities of a version of Castle Greyhawk written by me, James Jacobs, and Jason Bulmahn. Such a product would surely be awesome. And unforgettable! Here's hoping we could ever be so lucky as to live in a world where such an impossible dream were made...

    D&D 5E Dungeons and Dragons at Origins

    I took Mearls and Rodney Thompson to White Castle, because we are buddies. Depending on your perspective, that was either a symbol of friendship and respect or the world's most canny bit of corporate poisoning on record. :) --Erik

    D&D 5E Dungeons and Dragons at Origins

    Yes, all of that stuff is a result of our sponsorship. I was at the show this year and even had a chance to play a couple Pathfinder Society events. It was great! :) --Erik
