The 15-level prestige class for the Hellknight we published in Pathfinder AP #27 was something of an experiment. We've re-designed the prestige class back into a standard 10-level prestige class for its inclusion in the Inner Sea World Guide (which, I believe, is finally shipping this week...

Just an observation... having worked at a version of Paizo that revolved around directly building on WotC's intellectual properties (Dragon and Dungeon magazine) and having worked at a version of Paizo that revolved around "scavenging on the OGL," I must say... scavenging is a LOT more healthy...

"Lost Cities" hasn't been pushed back at all. My guess: Amazon forgot to order from their distributor, or didn't order enough, and rather than get an accurate resupply quote they just guessed July. That type of thing seems to happen semi-regularly... it's frustrating.

And to throw a real-world, quantifiable example of proof about how listening to feedback and reading your own messageboards or similar boards can work to your favor... One of the most-often cited complaints about our adventure paths is that they're too railroady. Had I not read those...

Of course, the best part about losing the magic box is that it wasn't destroyed. It was left to float down into the briny deep, where it came to rest, dangerously open, among the sunken flagstones and ooze-draped spires of dead R'lyeh. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that, 50 years later...

We actually considered this, but in the end we decided not to combine all the movement rates into one because that just starts getting kinda weird and silly. Snakes are good climbers, after all, but if we combined the skills, that would make snakes equally good at flying and jumping. Likewise...

As mentioned above, while our shorter organized play scenarios (the Pathfinder Society) are PDF only, EVERYTHING else we do is both PDF and print. Which includes about 3 large hardcover rulebooks a year (ranging from 256 to 320 pages long, usually), and about 200 pages of softcover support...

I can comment. We are indeed working on an Introductory game. I don't have much more to say about it right now... but it's something that we've been working on for a couple of months now. It's nowhere near ready for folks to see much about yet though.

Incorrect. We've hired several folks in the past several weeks, including customer service, graphic designers, marketing folks, and designers/developers/editors. Our internship program is pretty standard when it comes to how internship programs work (aka: you get paid in experience and college...

Yup; we actually clarified this in one of the Second Darkness adventures. Drow does indeed rhyme with "bow."

I would actually LOVE to do an Epic level expansion to Pathfinder. It's a tricky subject, though, and not only because only a fraction of the people who buy a game will buy an epic level game (I'm not convinced that fraction is as small as some folks suspect, but it's certainly a fraction of the...

Best post of the month!

So will I.

Because Bestiary 2 is our holiday season book. Since it's a new book, and the World Guide is more or less an expanded reprint, and since we couldn't do two books at the same time, the World Guide got pushed back. This also lets us put it through an extra long development and editing cycle; it's...

There are indeed firearms and cannons in Golarion, but the way they're presented in the current (and now out of print) Campaign Setting Hardcover is undergoing some significant revision. Basically, the arrival of guns and gunpowder and firearms on Golarion is changing from being a 4,000 some...

It doesn't surprise me at all that Golarion might give someone a Greyhawk vibe... because as mentioned upthread, many of us at Paizo, particularly myself, Erik Mona, Jason Bulmahn, and Lisa Stevens, are HUGE Greyhawk fans. But it kind of goes beyond that. While Greyhawk certainly was a source...

This is always great news to hear! (Sorry I didn't reply sooner, too!) I'm always curious to find out how 32-page books sell, because they're relatively easy and cheap to create. If we can figure out how to get them into more places... that's always good. But as a general rule, since space on...

The design philosophy that a dragon should be under-CRd didn't make sense to us, because that only helps to break the value of a working CR system. So when we built the dragons, we more or less did our best to build them so that they'd be accurately represented by their CR. A GM can, of course...

The staggered condition has existed in 3.5 for a long time, but only as the condition you're in when you're at exactly 0 hit points. For Pathfinder, we opened that up because it's an obvious condition that could give for some cool effects (sort of a bookend to nausea, which forces you to take...

Yeah, to sneak in a plug for one of my favorite writers, F. Paul Wilson's stuff is GREAT fun. The Keep may be set on Earth during WWII, but it and the whole mythos surrounding what's going on in there (which is a common theme throughout most of Wilson's novels, actually, and is all part of...
