It's certainly possible for a party to hit 12th level during Fortress of the Stone Giants. We were sort of guessing how much adventure we could cram into a 50 page adventure, and there's significantly more than we thought we could fit, even at the higher levels when those stat blocks turn into...

The more I looked them over in their various incarnations, alas, the more they talked themselves out of the role in Pathfinder 6. Mostly because the aren't really cold environment creatures. I'd remembered them as being such since they were in Frostburn, but even there they aren't really set up...

Right! Monsternomicon! That's where I done seen it before! (rushes off to check)

The rusalka's a water-based fey, and I find myself in need of one. For Pathfinder, not in real life. I know of the version that appeared in Frostburn, the version that appeared in Polyhedron, and the version that appeared in Dragon, but all of these, unfortunately, aren't open content. I'd...

In theory, the second half of each Pathfinder's for you. That's where we've been printing city and country gazetteers for our new campaign setting, Core Beliefes-style writeups of our deities (complete with spells and items and prestige classes when needed), ecology-style articles (coming in #4...

Not all encounters should present equal challenges. That's one of my overarching philosophies of adventure design. Each adventure should have encounters that allow PCs to feel like they're the heroes—that means that some encounters SHOULD be pushovers. Also, some encounters should serve only to...

The remake was okay... but the original's the one that I had in mind when I first started talking with Nick Logue about making the Pathfinder ogres into fleshy-headed mutants.

I strongly suspect that "official" D&D monsters and "official" Pathfinder/GameMastery monsters are going to be different anyway. Take our goblins as an example... they look and act quite differently from the 3.5 goblins, and I suspect they'll be different from the 4th edition goblins as well...

More to the point, what "stuff" we have accumlated won't be changing just because the game's edition changes.

I'd suggest just bumping the notice DCs and attack rolls and save DCs of the haunts up by 3 or 4 points, but keep in mind that having a paladin in the group on this adventure is going to reduce the oveall effecitveness of the haunts (due to his immunity to fear and his bonus to fear saves...

Loki was the frontrunner for a short bit... until I realized that Nyrlathotep was soooo much of a more obvious and better choice. So yeah: Nyrlathotep was the closest to becoming Graz'zt's dad.

Up until the last minute I spelled out who Graz'zt's dad was, but then after running it by my demonic advisors, I added in a bit of uncertainty. 1: Because it preserves more of the mystery of it, and lets DMs pick which of the suggested dads work best in their campaign. 2: Because setting a...

As long as Adventure Paths remain popular and profitable... we'll keep doing them. I certainly worry that there's some point where there'll be "too much" adventure path out there... but then again, maybe there isn't. People never ended up getting too many adventures, really. And I suspect that a...

I think I'm the only employee here who moved from Wizards of the Coast to Paizo after Paizo was spun off (an event that saw pretty much the entire magazine department at Wizards of the Coast leave WotC to start up Paizo). Chris Thomasson, Matt Sernett, and Jesse Decker all moved over to work at...

Perhaps! Just like that one game store that went out of business when they accidently ordered six dozen products from Nissan...

An Age of Worms hardcover would certainly need to be rewritten, and possilby expanded, if we were to do a hardcover. It's certainly not a perfect campaign, and there's a lot of room for improvement. Erik and I have certainly talked at length about how we'd expand it, revise it, and even where we...

HA! Yup, that was "The Thunder Below," an adventure I wrote for the WotC website back in the day. One of the problems, of course, is that high-level D&D is kind of broken—this was ESPECIALLY true in 3.0. A protection from evil spell, for example, pretty much shuts down a ghost's possession...

There are indeed a fair amount of illos from the magazines reprinted in there.

When we use the term "reader," that basically just refers to "Someone who buys Dungeon." Whether they actually run any adventures in the game or just read it, we have no real way to know apart from a few surveys we ran. That said... I do think that there's a LOT of folks out there who read...

We had monthly circulation meetings for the magazines while we were doing them, and these numbers were among those we obsessed over during those meetings. It's a lot more complicated than just "How many magazines did we distribute" though... in fact, the crazy way the magazine world works, if...
