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!

HA! Paizo folk comin' out of the woodwork!

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...

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 #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...

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...

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...
