I agree with this. The in-encounter effect will be the same whether the allip is draining or damaging. It's the after-encounter BS that the new change makes easier for players of the appropriate level to deal with. --Erik

Aren't these things just basically Edgar Rice Burrough's green martians ripped off, made a bit more insectile, and stripped of their serial numbers? I think they should look like TARS TARKAS! --Erik

We are working on a spiffy retail locator on our site, though it probably won't go live for a couple of months after the release of the Core Rulebook. Sadly we have too many task and too few programmers, but it is a very high priority. --Erik

I'm interested to hear why you think EN World users would be "slightly averse" to print editions of products? That's certainly not my assumption.

Pathfinder is selling great, so I think the final clause of your last sentence is perhaps the most important part of your post. :) --Erik

I don't think that Lisa believes this to be true. The simple fact is that we are so confident in the quality of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook that we believe the large majority of "check it out and see at the cheaper price" customers will be convinced to buy the hardcover and lots of our other...

I _think_ I understand your question. Everything switches over to PFRPG in August, which is when we coincidentally launch the Council of Thieves Adventure Path, which is the first AP to use the final PFRPG rules. Pretty much everything comes out the first day of Gen Con. Of course, you can...

You can't even get Kinkos to print the Beta for less than 40 bucks, so we feel that the Core Rulebook print edition has a very good price. I think the desperation thing is probably projection. :) --Erik

That's a blazingly good idea. --Erik Mona Publisher Paizo Publishing

This sounds AWESOME. Everyone at Paizo has been dying to get to some eastern-flavored content, but we strategically have to focus on more "core" stuff and haven't been able to get to it yet. Thanks to the Pathfinder Compatibility License and the OGL, people will be able to get awesome, somewhat...

I have never heard the term "OGL Bloat". I have heard the term "d20 Glut," which covered most of the topics mentioned above. Is this the same thing? --Erik

Lack of advancement rules is intentional. Look for more information on this in the actual Bestiary, which handles it somewhat differently than in the past. Glad so many folks are digging the Bonus Bestiary. It was a joy to put together, and my only regret is that some of the guys in there...

Not sure if James has chimed in on this, yet (I'm still digging through the thread), but I don't believe I've ever said that we _can't_ sell at big box stores (I assume here you're mostly talking about Barnes & Noble and the like). Getting in those places is VERY difficult, but is is possible...

We will likely do some other classes based on other alignments in due time (the anti-paladin comes to mind), but for this release we decided to stick to our roots.

We had 4 copies air-shipped from our overseas printer at enormous expense for promotional purposes and to bask in the glow of the new books (that editorial pit can get dark and depressing sometimes). The bulk of the print run will arrive next month in time to ship to Gen Con and retail outlets...

Step 1 is getting a core book in print and available throughout all chains of distribution, from game stores to big box and independent bookstores to comic book stores. That may sound like easy work, but it's taken Paizo 3 years just to get all of its ducks in a row in this regard, and I would...

The monsters in the Bonus Bestiary are, essentially, the "most important' 3.5 monsters we did not have room to fit into the Bestiary, which contains a ton of 3.5 monsters. A lot of these creatures have new or refined abilities, but in general you can use the old versions with the new system...

Interesting thread, folks. Thanks much for posting your thoughts, positive and negative. We certainly appreciate all of the support, both current and former, and we're always interested in ways we can improve our products to make them more appealing. For the record, we're thrilled with the...

LOL. I think every single employee at Paizo is comfortable with that, being quite familiar with the ramifications of the opposite. Thanks for the dispassionate analysis, though. --Erik

Overreact much? --Erik
