    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    That's absolutely possible! (And yeah... I assumed you were asking for a 64 page GM-focused book...)

    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    Convertible to what? "Mummy's Mask" might be a good choice coming up next February...

    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    Fair enough. That said, I'm pretty sure at least one more thing we've not yet announced will appeal to you in particular...

    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    And in fact, while you can certainly call Golarion a "kitchen sink" setting, I think that's a gross oversimplification. One of the big driving goals for us with Golarion was not to make a "generic, kitchen sink" setting, but one that embraced a wide range of settings. You can run a classic...

    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    We've got PLENTY planned for 2014. We haven't said much at all about what's going on in the second half of the year at all yet, in fact. We haven't announced them yet though... but stay tuned!

    Pathfinder 1E What's after Golarion? (and what's the future of Pathfinder?)

    We've got a LOT of room left in just the Inner Sea region to keep us busy for years and years to come. Heck... we've gotten well over a year out of one region in the setting—Varisia—and even that only scraped the surface of what we can do with that one realm. I'm not worried about running out...

    Pathfinder 1E Evil humanoids and the seven deadly sins

    Because in Pathfinder, we've associated ogres with being pretty rapacious. Wrath and gluttony also work well for them though, but of all the races I listed, they're the ones who embody lust the most. In all the bad violent ways. One of our earliest Pathfinder adventures, "The Hook Mountain...

    Pathfinder 1E Evil humanoids and the seven deadly sins

    Cool topic! The seven deadly sins play a HUGE role not only in our adventure path Rise of the Runelords, but for our demons as well (demons in Pathfinder are the result of sinful mortal souls being absorbed and transformed by the Abyss). Were I to map humanoid races to the seven deadly sins...

    How do you deal with Hardness 20? (Spoilers for The Infernal Syndrome)

    That's in fact an error. One that's been frustratingly hard to expunge from the rules. If animated objects were intended to be immune to critical hits, that information really REALLY needs to be on the monster's actual stat block page, and not squirreled away in the core rulebook on a section...

    Curse of the crimson thrones to easy?

    One thing to keep in mind... Our adventure paths are designed assuming that the party of PCs consists of four characters, each built using the standard 15 point buy. If you increase the point buy above 15, increase the number of characters beyond 4... then yes. The adventure becomes...

    Pathfinder 1E World of Golarion going Lovecraft too much?

    If there's any one person to blame or thank for the Lovecraftian elements that have appeared in Golarion (or in the Bestiaries, for that matter, with things like gugs and shoggoths and zoogs)... that one person would be me. That said, I've actually really been hesitant to let loose the full...

    Violet Fungi Poison Damage

    Correct; violet fungus rot is called out as being a poison effect mostly just so things that are immune to poison know that they can wallow in the stuff all day long without rotting. The effect itself is a one-time-only effect per hit—if it acted as normal poison and did damage over multiple...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Battles: Rise of the Runelords Minis

    Sometimes there are typos. I'm pretty sure the rune giant mini is Gargantuan, and scaled as such. I could be wrong, though... Erik would know for sure and he's out galavanting right now...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder using Game of Throne's Stark Family, but where?

    Oh, don't worry. I won't. He's got more XP than me anyway. I need every single point I can scrounge so I can catch up!

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder using Game of Throne's Stark Family, but where?

    Brevoy is definitely the best place to do a Game of Thrones type campaign—that region's pretty heavily inspired by Martin's writing, after all...

    Pathfinder 1E This is why pathfinder has been successful.

    Lurking on this thread is where he is right now, in fact! MWA HA HA HA (cough cough choke) ... ahem. (and for the record, I've written 3 Pathfinder AP adventures so far, 3 Dungeon adventures, and have had co-author credit on 3 Pathfinder AP adventures... I'm no Greg Vaughan, but I try!)

    Something that made me mad about the latest book.

    That's gonna be one of our big Gen Con releases. So unlike most books, whose release dates are somewhat prone to fluctuation... I can say pretty confidently that Ultimate Equipment will be coming out on the first day of Gen Con.

    Something that made me mad about the latest book.

    Heh... nothing like a prehistoric animal thread to bring me out of the woodworks, I guess!

    Something that made me mad about the latest book.

    We made the "mega-fauna" category so we could present more prehistoric post-Cretaceous creatures in the game... for the same reason that these are animals and thus can generally only spare a half page rather than a full page. You'll note that the creatures we put under "mega-fauna" are ones...

    Something that made me mad about the latest book.

    As long as I'm at Paizo, this won't happen. And if I'm not at Paizo, the company loses their biggest dinosaur fan and the bestiaries are significantly likely to not have dinosaurs at all. I've never understood the "dinosaur latin names break game verisimiltude," because, if anything, Latin is...
