[h=3]Paizo Announced Bestiary 4 for Fall 2013[/h]
Paizo has just announced Bestiary 4 hardcover for the Pathfinder RPG, with a cover by Wayne Reynolds, expected October 14, 2013 for $39.99.
The mightiest monsters and foulest foes of nightmare and legend rampage into your game with Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 4. This collection of creatures shatters all past thresholds of danger and destructiveness with phenomenally powerful beings like demon lords, kaiju, juggernauts, and Great Old Ones—including invincible Cthulhu! Terrors like nosferatu vampires, clockwork dragons, twisted fleshwarps, and sadistic tooth fairies number among the more than 250 monsters collected to challenge heroes of every level of play—from first-level novices to mythic champions. New familiars, player-friendly races, and other allies also rise to aid characters in combating this host of horrors, while new templates—like mummified and fungal creatures—breathe fearsome new menace into your existing monstrous arsenal. Strike fear in the hearts of the mightiest heroes and shake the foundations of your campaign with Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 4.
Editor in Chief F. Wesley Schneider has posted an announcement blog entry which describes what to expect.

[h=3]Bye-Bye Princess Ark[/h]
Bruce Heard has been trying to persuade WotC to let him revive World of Mystara and the Princess Ark. Unfortunately, WotC wasn't interested, but it's not all bad news - Bruce plans to create his own version under a different name. He says: "I think there's plenty of room out there for another ship, another crew, and new adventures unbound by darkness. Although stories would take place in another world, in spirit one might think this is the Princess Ark reborn. My plan is to move on with brand new fiction stories and release them as E-Books. Your interest and support will be key in making this dream come true. Once I get the details worked out, a Kickstarter campaign will become a must."The Princess Ark is (was) a flying ship which featured in an article series in Dragon Magazine detailing the Known World.[h=3]Neverwinter Open Beta is Live![/h]If you've been waiting to try the upcoming D&D video game, Neverwinter, now's your chance! The Neverwinter Open beta is now live!

"The basic idea is that before you play everyone gets a chance to insert things into the game world or ban things from it. You can do either (add or ban, say yes or say no) when it’s your “turn,” and if everyone contributes you do another round, then another, until someone doesn’t want to add/ban."
