Paizo New Positions For Paizo Veterans!

Various Paizo staff have announced new roles at the company after what appears to have been a bit of restructuring.

• Jason Bulmahn, who created Pathfinder, is now Paizo's Director of Games. He said on Twitter: "As of today, I am now Paizo's Director of Games, overseeing all of our new games and game initiatives. This does remove me from the day to day management of the Pathfinder RPG, but it frees up my time to invent brand new games, like Pathfinder Quest! I've seen some folks asking if my change in position at Paizo means that I will be writing less content for the RPG. That is likely true, but to be fair, most of the content I have written lately (and am in the process of writing) is freelance work anyway. It does mean I am far less likely to contribute to our books as a matter of course, helping to fill gaps or pull together content quickly, but that has been a less and less common aspect of my job over the past few years anyway. And besides, the RPG team are all pros and have been delivering top notch content since 2nd Edition was launched. Trust me, the game is in very good hands. What this does do is free me up to make MORE games. Card games, board games, roleplaying games, and more. Joe and I have a lot of things cooking and you are not going to remotely suspect some of the things we have in store for you!"
• Michael J Sayre is Director of Rules and Lore, who said "Excited to announce that I have been promoted to the Director of Rules & Lore at Paizo. I'm happy to be looking forward to and plotting an amazing future with my spectacular team-Creative Director Luis Loza, Lead Designer Logan Bonner, Lead Developer James Case, Senior Developer Eleanor Ferron, Senior Designer Jason Keeley, Developer Landon Winkler, Designer Josh Birdsong, Designer Ivis Flanagan."
• Thurston Hillman is now Associate Publisher. "Today I accepted the role of Associate Publisher at Paizo. I'll be holding onto the Starfinder creative reins for a short bit longer as we sort out some management on that brand going forward, but I'm really grateful for the opportunity and trust that's been put in me by others."

Just call it Director of Crunch and Fluff you cowards.

I'd love to see that under someone's name as a Title in an email.

That seems more like a job position at a snack manufacturer or candy maker, really.

When Jason mentions doing freelance work is that for Paizo? Is that odd?

He publishes his own material under Minotaur Games on DriveThruRPG. A few standout things he's worked on is a PF2e zombie apocalypse hack, Hopefinder and a setting he's working on for PF2e, Eventide. I like what I've seen so far in skimming through the Hopefinder books, but really need to find a way to cram a few extra hours into each day so I can carve out time to actually play it sometime.

I've played miniatures games at conventions where most of the figures, some of the terrain and all the objectives on the table were edible. Definitely not something you want to do regularly if you care about your health. I believe the guy running the thing said there was 24 pounds of processed sugar on the board at the start of the game.

Paizo at some point will pass D&D and i hope take it over once Hasbro has ran it into the ground

This seems wildly unlikely.

I remember thinking that was a real possibility at one point. Then 5E dropped...

Still silently hoping for the day though...
