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...

This thread intrigued me, since we hadn't invented any Dungeon iconcs until Age of Worms, well after Shackled City wrapped up. :) So I assume you're actually talking about the wizard iconic with the quasit familiar from Savage Tide. She was featured on the cover of Dungeon #145, as well as...

To echo Erik: This is indeed a great and helpful thread! As for why things skew away from high level, I suspect the main reason is that high level play is just too complex and unfortunately not as much fun as a result. Also... you've got to account for attrition, either from TPKs that take the...

We've posted several samples of art over at our blog at Paizo from Pathfinder 2 for anyone who's interested in seeing where we're headed with the art. Basically, you can expect to see art more in the style we were working with for the magazines; as Erik mentioned above, we were VERY pressed for...

The "toys" bit was an error; in the future, they'll all be declared as books.

BUT: Since this article is a 3.5 article... I thankfully don't have to include anything about this recent development whatsoever. Which is nice, since Graz'zt's already got strong ties to succubi and Malcanthet and all that.

Asmodeus got bandied about for a bit elsewhere as being Graz'zt's dad. That's an unusual choice, and one with intriguing connotations that I don't think would really work out in the end. Another theory is that Baphomet is his dad, but I have in my head that Graz'zt's a lot older than Baphomet...

I should have mentioned, of course, the fact that since this is going in Dragon, I can't use material from non-official sources. Including alternate Graz'zt-type stuff from Green Ronin products, or most (well... all) of the development he got in Gygax's Gord novels, such as the Abbat-Dolor. And...

Hey everyone! So, if you haven't heard, I'm writing a Demonomicon of Iggwilv article about Graz'zt for the shiny new online version of Dragon magazine that'll be appearing over on the Wizards of the Coast website shortly. The article's pretty much done, and I'm pretty confident I've got enough...

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! It's a real buzz to actually see Pathfinder for real for me, at least, and as cool as Pathfinder 1, is, I think I can say that the ones to follow will be even better! For one... Pathfiner 1 was really rushed, and there's a few warts on it here and there...

First of all, thanks for all the kind words, everyone! As for the flavor vs. crunch issue... for the most part, the mix you see in Pathfinder #1 is about what we're aiming for. The adventures themselves will generally introduce a few magic items and feats and spells and stuff now and then, and...

If anyone DOES have questions... I'll be here to answer them! Tomorrow, that is. For now? An attempt to reclaim some of the precious hours of sleep Gen Con stole from me. :)

Well... he's using one of those claws/hands to hold a magic item. And to be honest... patching the klurichir was pretty low on the to-do list for that issue, which was 32 pages longer than normal and was worked on simultaneously to the creation of Pathfinder #1. The index alone almost made me...

The only thing that constrained us was the word count of the book. The folks at WotC basically told us how long the book was, gave us a rough draft outline, and then basically said, "Do what you want with this." So we pretty much knew how much room we had going in and wrote an adventure that...

Correct. In that Epic issue, Lascer was presented in an entirely different way. I always saw him as a demon lord, but at the time, it wasn't quite clear how WotC wanted to treat demon lords in 3rd edition, so I made him an advanced abomination infernal or something like that. I talked about him...
