Take your player's back to the classic 80's dungeon modules with Blue Maps, a series of easy to use Tile Sets that allow you to snap together the dungeon (or cavern) of your dreams! Each tile set contains 70 tiles including walls, floors, doors, stairs, and a mountain of decor, from spider webs...

To avoid spawning additional threads, I also created a companion video to the one above, this one all about designing adventures! Designing Adventures on YouTube

Hey there folks, Over the past few months, I have been creating a variety of tutorial videos to help players and GMs up their game, and they have been a big hit with the folks who follow my work. The most recent video is on the basics of designing your own campaign and I thought folks here...

Hey there all, Over the past couple weeks I have been putting out videos with GM advice, but this week I thought it was about time to give the players a helping hand. In this weeks advice video, I talk about my process for building compelling player characters, starting out with the seed, going...

Hey there folks, Seeing as many of us are now under quarantine or working from home, I thought this might be a good time to put together some videos filled with tips for running one shot games and advice on how to run a game for just 1 or 2 players. Both of these videos give tips specifically...

Technically there has not been one since my title was changed to Director of Game Design here at Paizo. Naming Logan to this position empowers him to do the job and take the reins on making some of the big decisions about the game. I could not be happier to have Logan helming this game. His work...

Paizo has teamed up with Geek and Sundry to produce an 8-episode series for Pathfinder Second Edition, titled "Knights of Everflame'! https://youtu.be/g8JDrQdpkG8 “Five strangers board a caravan heading to Lastwall, an ancient kingdom watching over the grave of a long dead menace. Signed up as...

Yeah, I feel like we could have made it more clear that this was more of a hard-core playtest and less of a light, "give the system a try" sort of process. Folks that came to it expecting just a fun experience were left confused by a very crunchy series of tests. But.. for all that pain, I can...

Chiming in here... Making Pathfinder easier to play, with less fiddly exception-based mechanics, was one of our big goals. We wanted everyone to be able to learn a relatively simple core of the game (the proficiency system, three action combat, and the basic actions that go along with it), and...

So, I get why that might have been a bit awkward. I made the call early on to start the game when the PCs first meet each other, allowing their backstories and reasons for being there to be filled in over time, as the story unfolds. The same goes for the world as well, and it is something we...

Our goal with the show is to tell a good story using the P2 rules, which was never the focus of the Playtest. TBH, that really was a turn off for some, as we were far more focused on hard testing and pushing boundaries. With this stream, we can really show off what the playtest helped us make...

Hey there all, While there are too many, and in some cases contradictory, ideas in here for me to address directly, I felt like it might be useful to point out a few things about where we are at and the process that got us here. - A couple of folks have brought up issues that arose during the...

Hey there all, Just wanted to make sure that folks on the boards here had seen that the Oblivion Oath, the first ever Pathfinder Second Edition actual play game is available now on the Paizo Twitch and YouTube channels. We stream live every Thursday at noon (pacific) for one hour on the the...

Hey there all, So, I just wanted to make a thing clear here. Seelah has the Pickpocket skill feat from her background, as it reflects her history. None of the background feats are meant to be game-changers. They are a flavorful aspect of your character that you might sometimes get some use out...

Getting closer and closer to the release of the first Edge of Eventide adventure, I've posted up a preview of some of the rules you can expect to get with each character. Not only will each PC include a backstory, personality, and motivation, each will also have unique rules elements designed...

Mannerisms is a good catch and something I will make sure to include in the character descriptions. The characters will each have a number of relationships to various NPCs that are set to appear in the campaign, as for many of them the start of the adventure is a homecoming of sorts, making that...

Hey there all, So, I am trying to source as much data as I can for the Edge of Eventide campaign and its characters, and I don't want to get caught in the trap of only listening to sources that are already sold on a concept. To that end, I thought I would as a few questions of the crowd here on...

Know Direction Interview Hey there all, Last night I had a blast doing an interview with the fine folks of the Know Direction Podcast, talking about the Edge of Eventide, giving out a few minor spoilers about the campaign and talking in great detail about what is to come in the next few...
