    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG: Hints of Bards to Come

    The bard's my favorite class in the game, and since I sit right next to Jason here at Paizo... I will be pestering him more or less non-stop to awesome them up. Never fear.

    New GSL Announcement

    I'm not sure how this is a "judo throw" to our announcement of the Pathfinder RPG. We weren't planning on supporting 4th edition with Pathfinder anyway... the whole POINT of Pathfinder RPG is to give us something of our own to build on. It looks like that means we won't be able to support 4th...

    GSL news.

    Yup; to reinforce what several folk have already said... the Pathfinder RPG isn't Paizo's crazy attempt to replace D&D. Far from it. If there's room in today's market for Call of Cthulhu, D&D, Mutants and Masterminds, True20, etc. etc... there's room for the Pathfinder RPG. I'm really excited...

    Who are your favorite Demon Lords?

    Yeah... had nothing changed and had I continued writing Demonomicons... I would have pushed HARD for Orcus to be the last of the "core 14 demon lords." Mostly because he DOES have the most information out there of any demon lord if you don't count the Demonomicon articles and Savage Tide...

    Who are your favorite Demon Lords?

    No way! Obox-ob was killed, but the Queen of Chaos missed one of his aspects, and that aspect hid down in the deep until he grew back into proper demon lordliness. AKA: He got better!

    Who are your favorite Demon Lords?

    No way! You CAN'T have too many demon lords! That there's so many of them is part of the fun! :)

    Game mechanics for Eberron Mind Flayer research lab / John Carpenter's 'The Thing'

    You might want to check out d20 Modern's "Menace Manual." In particular, there's an entry in there for a monster called the Star Doppleganer, which is pretty much the monster from The Thing. (I know, because Matt Sernett, the guy who statted it up, had never seen The Thing before and had to...

    Your favorite demon lord

    For me... it's a three-way tie between Demogorgon, Malcanthet, and Obox-ob. I'm still sad I never got a chance to write up an Obox-ob installment of the Demonomicon of Iggwilv.

    D&D 3.x WotC Rejecting 3.5 Writers?

    Of course... about 75% of Red Hand of Doom was done by a "Paizo Guy"...

    Dungeon 153 - Touch of Madness

    Yup! Taking it a step further... that god's name is Vecna (yet another awesome anagram name from Gary!) :)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advantage

    The web enhancements have very little text, though; it's mostly art and maps, and that requires InDesign to build. That's not a program I or any of the other editors really know how to use, nor is it a program we have on our computers (we have a pared-down version called InCopy that we use to...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advantage

    I'll see what I can do!

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advantage

    The discount is indeed a marketing move to drive traffic at Paizo, no doubt. But it's also not something we could have afforded to do at the start. Pathfinder's doing amazingly well, and it's that success that makes the discount something we can do in the first place. The discount is a way for...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advantage

    Just thought I'd pipe in here about those last few Dungeon web enhancements. The problem at the start, alas, was that we ran into a bottleneck. The web enhancements were ready for layout, and we've managed to squeeze in a lot of them here and there, but the switch from doing 2 magazines to a...

    Dragon 364 News at Gleemax [merged]

    Nope. This thread is actually the first I've heard of the article. Have they posted who the author is? I'm VERY curious to see what they do with it, as you might imagine!

    Pathfinder 1E Why Didn't Paizo Do their Own "Dragon/Dungeon?"

    HA! Paizo folk comin' out of the woodwork!

    Pathfinder 1E Why Didn't Paizo Do their Own "Dragon/Dungeon?"

    Hi everyone! Just thought I'd do what I can to clear up a little confusion... hope I don't inadvertently cause more! It's a complex process, and even after working on magazines for nearly half a decade I don't quite understand it all! :) The main thing to keep in mind regarding this subject is...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Minis Announced!!!

    Although the minis are late for people who are playing Runelords right out of the can... the minis still work fine for those who come to Runelords a year or 10 years from now. Also: we'll be featuring goblins and sinspawn and ogres now and then in the future. I'd love to have the entire line of...

    Pathfinder 1E Recommend me Some Paizo adventurers

    Pathfinder #4 was already in the can well before the big thread about "torture porn" started up over at our messageboards, so it wasn't "toned down" due to the controversy at all. Horror is the most popular genre in adventures (at least, according to reader feedback over five years of working on...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Chronicles Subscriber - I Couldn't Resist!

    We still haven't seen the 4E rules or the 4E OGL, so at this point, everything we're producing will use the 3.5 rules, yes. If/when we do decide to switch to 4E, we'll certainly announce it here and at paizo.com and elsewhere, at which point which products we're doing are 3.5 and 4E will be...
