Pathfinder iPhone Wallpapers

... Illustrations by Jesper Ejsing Illustration by ... Wayne Reynolds ... Pathfinder iPhone Wallpapers Friday, January 30, 2009Several of us at Paizo have iPhones, but some of us flaunt that fact a bit more than others. Take Managing Art Director James Davis, for example—since he got his iPhone, we very rarely see him without at least one earbud stuck in an ear, and he heads back to show me some (admittedly cool) new app he found once a week on average. ... Of course, the good news is...

Didn't Make the RPG Superstar Top 32? Try Pathfinder Society!

Didn't Make the RPG Superstar Top 32? Try Pathfinder Society! Thursday, January 29, 2009The 2009 RPG Superstar contest drew in hundreds of entries from around the world in a contest to crown the ultimate new roleplaying game design talent. It took the judges six weeks to reduce the mountain of entries to the 32 finalists and a handful of alternates. That means hundreds of you didn't make it into the RPG Superstar Top 32—that means that hundreds of you should submit for the Pathfinder...

Open Call: Mappers Wanted!

Open Call: Mappers Wanted! Wednesday, January 28, 2009I'm on a crusade. ... Writing adventures and sourcebooks for RPGs is tough. It takes a lot of different skills; you have to be a good writer, you have to be imaginative and creative, you have to be diligent and good with deadlines and continuity, and you have to have a head for rules and math. Truth be told, it's not all the skills you need to be a successful adventure or setting designer. You also need to be able to draw maps. ... Just as...

The Outlaws of Mars (Trade Paperback)

O.A.K. for the win!

... O.A.K. for the win! Tuesday, January 27, 2009It's teaser time! Otis Adelbert Kline, the man who brought you so much sword-swinging, dalf-fighting, empire-overthrowing Martian action in The Swordsman of Mars, is back again with all that and more in The Outlaws of Mars! Scroll down to take a peek at the action that's in store: She screamed and shrank back from him, evidently rooted to the spot with terror. ... Scarcely had he regained his balance, when Jerry's attention was attracted by a...

Pathfinder Chronicles: Dark Markets—A Guide to Katapesh (OGL)

Peeking Into Katapesh

Peeking Into Katapesh Monday, January 26, 2009I'm deep in the development for the third adventure of Legacy of Fire as I write this—The Jackal's Price. This is the first adventure to actually visit the fabled city of Katapesh, and the adventure only scratches the surface of what kind of adventures a group of PCs might find themselves in while visiting the city. Dark Markets, A Guide to Katapesh is looking to be a great supplement for GMs who want to explore the city's nooks and...

... Planet Stories on StarWars.com Friday, January 23, 2009If you’ve been keeping up with our blog, you already know how excited we were to have a legend like George Lucas pen an introduction to Leigh Brackett’s The Reavers of Skaith, the latest Eric John Stark adventure out from Planet Stories. So you might imagine how thrilled we were to see StarWars.com feature Reavers on both the front page and the Book Vault section of their Web site. ... Check out the feature here.

Tracking Sheet Doodles

... Tracking Sheet Doodles Wednesday, January 21, 2009Every book we work on has a folder with a tracking sheet, which helps us monitor the progress of each article in the book—design turnover, developer's pass, edit 1st pass, edit 2nd pass, layout, edit 3rd pass, copy edit, and final approval. Because the schedules for these books overlap, I usually have multiple folders on my desk at one time (currently I have seven). As I'm a visual person, I find it's easier for me to locate which...

Pathfinder Module: Crypt of the Everflame (PFRPG)

Jason's New Campaign!

... Jason's New Campaign! Friday, January 16, 2009The last year at Paizo's been really hectic and busy. I think I ran one whole session of my Call of Cthulhu game in 2008, and as for actual D&D office games, we pretty much haven't done any gaming. That's no good. Fortunately, now that we're heading into 2009, there may be a change in the air. Either we're finally getting caught up, or we're finally adjusting our sleep cycles to accommodate the new reality—whatever the reason, office...

Open Call for Pathfinder Society Scenarios 23 & 24 Thursday, January 15, 2009Hello and welcome to another installment of the Pathfinder Society Scenario Open Call.

Divs: Daemons of the Desert

... Divs: Daemons of the Desert Wednesday, January 14, 2009With Pathfinder #19, Howl of the Carrion King, the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path introduces the first in a new breed of fiendish terror: the divs. Drawn from Persian lore, divs are neutral evil fiends born from the souls of fallen genies. Where the daemons of Abbadon seek to harvest souls from the Material Plane, divs seek to cause hardship, making mortal existence as painful as any hellish afterlife. Researched and designed by Adam...

The Outlaws of Mars (Trade Paperback)

Kline is Back!

... Kline is Back! Tuesday, January 13, 2009One of Erik's first pulp discoveries when he started researching books for Planet Stories was a man named Otis Adelbert Kline, a former giant of the sword-and-planet genre who is remembered today primarily as the literary agent for Conan-creator Robert E. Howard. From the very beginning, Kline symbolized everything Erik wanted in a Planet Stories book—sword-swinging adventure on other worlds with strange creatures, bizarre cultures,...

Katapesh Fashion Show

... Illustrations by Jason Engle Katapesh Fashion Show Monday, January 12, 2009One of the fun things about moving out of Varisia and into a new land for the Adventure Path is that the NPCs end up looking quite different. While generating art orders, I suspect we've spent days surfing the net looking for more and more exotic outfits and apparel to clothe our characters in. The upcoming Dark Markets: A Guide to Katapesh bears the fruit of those hours of Internet research—pictured here are...

Still the Season: Paizo and the Child's Play Charity Wednesday, January 7, 2009Although the snow that hit us here in Seattle prevented us from hyping this as much as we would have liked, just before the holidays Paizo Publishing put together an online auction to benefit Child's Play, a charity for children's hospitals created and supported by gamers. We're happy to report that this auction raked in $800, due wholly to the generous contributions and competitive bidding of this website's...

George Lucas On Leigh Brackett

... George Lucas On Leigh Brackett Tuesday, January 6, 2009When we started publishing Planet Stories, one of our goals (in fact, the primary goal) was to publish books that were not just great stories, but also historically significant. Books that altered the course of science fiction history, that helped invent genres and whose authors managed to indelibly alter the way we think about SF. ... Yet sometimes the impact of a given novel isn't felt immediately—as with music or any other...

... Artist: Eric Lofgren ... Artist: Kevin Yan ... Pathfinder: Goat vs. Chupacabra Edition Monday, January 5, 2009No one will believe me when I say this, but I absolutely did not plan to have Pathfinder #19 contain not only the Golarion version of the notorious chupacabra, but also a relatively significant goat NPC. The goat in question is a hapless chap named Rombard, and he's menaced not by chupacabras but by something else entirely in this volume's adventure, Howl of the Carrion King, but...

... Artist: Tyler Walpole Artist: Ben Wootten ... Art of Dragons Revisited Friday, January 2, 2009So with all of the snow we've been having lately, I thought it'd be appropriate to show off some cold-weather-appropriate artwork. As it turns out, we've got just the thing in the upcoming Dragons Revisited—an entire chapter on white dragons! There's a chapter on all ten of the classic dragons, in fact, but it's those white dragons I'm afraid about whenever I wander outside these days....
