Whether or not it's a strange question... I suspect that the vast majority of RPGs are read and never played. And I don't quantify an RPG book that's read and never played as a failure, either. I know I'm not the only gamer out there who has bookshelves filled with RPG stuff, and each one I read...

A developer is basically a multiclassed writer/editor. If Paizo were making movies, the writer would be the movie's screenplay writer, the editor would be the editor (that one's easy), and the developer would be the movie's director. (A designer, by extension, would be the person who gives the...

Yup; tracking royalty payments gets real complicated, and it compounds as time goes on and more products are created. For small companies, this becomes an increasingly huge drain on resources, and that doesn't even touch the complex tax and legal and other stuff royalties introduce into a...

Hell's Rebels isn't a direct sequel to Council of Thieves, but it'll work VERY well as a followup to that one, especially if your players are eager to actually make a difference and take the fight to those Thrunies!

Hee hee hee. (returns to lurk mode)

There's always this, copy/pasted from the Technology Guide portion of the PRD... LIGHTER Price 10 gp; Slot none; Weight —; Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge This small handheld tool creates a tiny open flame when activated. Once triggered, a lighter's flame (which gives illumination as a candle)...

That's certainly true about Graz'zt... he draws upon a LOT of those types of traditions... but so do a lot of other demons. There's no "Graz'zt" in mythology, nor any ebon-skinned six-fingered wavy-bladed-bastard-swording mythological figure out there that he's specifically based upon, and so we...

There's parts of Golarion in Anghazan, for sure, as well as some of Ilsidahur (a much more obscure D&D demon lord), but that's mostly coincidental. I created Angazhan originally as a character in the background of one of our early minis products — "Throne of the Gorilla King," knowing that we...

For entities like Demogorgon, Tiamat, Orcus, Pazuzu, Baphomet, and all the rest... if there are actual open d20 game statistics for the characters as they have classically been represented in D&D, then yes, we generally did bring those characters into Golarion (and thus into Pathfinder). Many of...

Mental note: Include high-Dexterity giant elf in an upcoming Adventure Path bestiary...

Wow... well done on going all-out for your players! (APPLAUSE)

First off... whatever works best for any one GM's game is always the right answer. What follows is the official in-Golarion answer, but feel free to adjust as you wish for your game. On Golarion, paladins don't HAVE to worship a deity, but the vast majority do. Those who do worship a deity need...

The reason we haven't done a map of Golarion and all its oceans and contents yet is due to a combination of lack of time and lack of proper venues (aka products) to feature such a map. Now and then, we do start to detail other continents, particularly when we publish an Adventure Path associated...

I haven't done any market research other than talking to folks on messageboards and at conventions. I do know that some of my friends used Golarion for their non-Pathfinder campaigns, though. And it would be ridiculous to not heartily endorse that, frankly. Golarion assumes the Pathfinder rules...

That's absolutely possible! (And yeah... I assumed you were asking for a 64 page GM-focused book...)

Convertible to what? "Mummy's Mask" might be a good choice coming up next February...

Fair enough. That said, I'm pretty sure at least one more thing we've not yet announced will appeal to you in particular...

And in fact, while you can certainly call Golarion a "kitchen sink" setting, I think that's a gross oversimplification. One of the big driving goals for us with Golarion was not to make a "generic, kitchen sink" setting, but one that embraced a wide range of settings. You can run a classic...

We've got PLENTY planned for 2014. We haven't said much at all about what's going on in the second half of the year at all yet, in fact. We haven't announced them yet though... but stay tuned!

We've got a LOT of room left in just the Inner Sea region to keep us busy for years and years to come. Heck... we've gotten well over a year out of one region in the setting—Varisia—and even that only scraped the surface of what we can do with that one realm. I'm not worried about running out...
