    Pathfinder 1E Want to Work for Paizo?

    I can't speak to the CSR question, but I can to the telecommuting one. Since we operate on a VERY deadline driven business model AND we benefit from having a think-tank type environment, telecommuting is not really an option for us. It's just not really part of the corporate culture of Paizo, on...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo wants its monsters back!

    Correct. I'm only looking for monsters that we've mentioned in our Pathfinder products that don't have stats yet. I'm not interested in soliciting requests for monster conversions from existing 3.5 sources... at least, not in this thread. Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary still works pretty well...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo wants its monsters back!

    If someone were to provide me a complete list of the various planar monsters that got mentioned but not statted up in the Great Beyond... that would be an example of awesomeness. Cause I might miss one or two if I did it... Just sayin'. :P

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo wants its monsters back!

    Actually, it IS nice. Just as it's nice to hear ANY kind of feedback about our products. To be honest, the level of interaction we have with our customers is one of Paizo's not-so-secret weapons. As it turns out, if you involve your customers in your products beyond the "selling it to them"...

    Starting Hit Points

    The main reason we went back to the normal method of maximum HP at 1st level was, if I remember correctly, due to relatively overwhelming playtest feedback. We don't mention the other methods in the Core Rules at all (along with any of the other rules that were discarded from the beta) because...

    Can a rogue sneak attack the ghost of a gelatinous cube?

    Correct; the best way to look at it is if a monster's not an ooze, actual elemental, incoporeal, or a swarm (forgot that one!), then unless it says otherwise, you can sneak attack it. As for fortification... we did indeed keep it as-is, but for the levels of play that the PRPG is designed for...

    Can a rogue sneak attack the ghost of a gelatinous cube?

    Correct; the Bestiary will have the full skinny on what can and can't be sneak attacked. The short version, though, is that incorporeal creatures, oozes, and elementals (as in earth/air/fire/water) cannot be sneak attacked.

    The Thing, run as a game?

    Check out the d20 stats for the Star Doppelganger in the Menace Manual for Matt Sernett's take on the monster in d20 stats. I am particularly amused by this part of the book, of course, because in return for loaning Matt my copy of the movie to research for the monster, he turned me into a...

    Random Wands and Scrolls

    I really REALLY wanted to fit random treasure generation tables into the book, but it simply wasn't something we had room to do fully when it came to potions and wands and scrolls. Which still saddens and annoys me. Fortunately, the tables in the DMG still mostly work for rolling these up if you...

    Pathfinder 1E Golarion: I'm very impressed

    Correct; in fact, there'll eventually be an Adventure Path that leads over to Tian Xia and Minkai (our Japan analogue).

    Art Gallery?

    I suspect so; it'll probably be a while though.

    Art Gallery?

    Yeah; the best place to get good-sized copies of the images for your home use in your game is to copy them out of the PDF. We do post a fair amount of the images to our blog as well, and most of the more frequently used ones like symbols and iconic characters and flags and runes and the like can...

    Why do elves sleep now?

    Elves not sleeping is indeed relatively setting specific, and while trances are in Elves of Golarion, it's something we'll honestly probably be moving away from in Golarion. We've done a fair amount to reimagine our elves, and by having them sleep (or at least implying they sleep) does help to...

    What's Seltyiel like?

    Yeah; since we loosened the paladin's code a little in Pathfinder (they can now work with evil allies as long as it's for a greater good and as long as they try to redeem the evil ally, etc.) we wanted to establish that fact right at the start by having our iconic paladin and the iconic...

    The Council of Thieves AP

    The Cheliax Companion is out; it's a 32 page book for both players and GMs. The devil book (Book of the Damned: Princes of Darkness) is coming out in a month or so; Gen Con and RPG matters bullied it around and it slipped its schedule a bit.

    Pathfinder 1E The Pathfinder Campaign Setting ??

    All of the domains are updated and now part of the core game, so no worries there. Beyond that, the vast majority of the Campaign Setting should fit into the PRPG with very little problem.

    Pathfinder 1E Azlant Adventure, and Using Pathfinder with Mythos

    We ARE being pretty cautious, actually. We're not really sure yet how we want to proceed with out-of-house Golarion content; it's a really important part of Paizo and one we're hesitant to part with. So steeling one's self against being disappointed is probably wise. But yeah... Azathoth is...

    Pathfinder 1E Azlant Adventure, and Using Pathfinder with Mythos

    Who said anything about declining yet? I think it sounds kinda cool too! :) Of course, Red Eye of Azathoth sounds super cool too... hmmm... I have a home-brew post-apocalyptic Cthulhu mythos meets Fallout RPG I wrote up back in the day for d20, and I updated the rules a few months ago to work...

    iPhone App

    Making the app basement-friendly should be at the top of our to-do list, I would hope. :)
