Meet the Iconics: Kyra

Meet the Iconics: Kyra Monday, July 30, 2007 The priests of Sarenrae lead double lives. Known to her faithful as the Dawnflower, the Healing Flame, and the Everlight, she teaches temperance and patience in all things. Compassion and peace are her greatest virtues, and if enemies of the faith can be redeemed, they should be. Yet there are those who have no interest in redemption, who glory in slaughter and death. From the remorseless evil of the undead and fiends to the cruelties born in the...

Black God's Kiss (Trade Paperback)

Kicking Down The Door

Kicking Down The Door Wednesday, July 25, 2007That more people don't know the name C. L. Moore is one of the biggest tragedies in science fiction and fantasy. This October, Planet Stories plans to do everything we can to change that. ... First published in Weird Tales in 1934, Catherine Lucille Moore was writing science fiction and fantasy in a time where female authors were rare across the board, and practically unheard of in genre fiction. Abbreviating her name to hide her gender, Moore...

Gold, Land, and Title!

Gold, Land, and Title! Tuesday, July 24, 2007Those are the rewards promised to those who conquer the Bloodsworn Vale. In just a few weeks, you might be able to claim those prizes. ... Since we are getting pretty close to the release of this module, we realized we have yet to show off a map of this large, untamed wilderness. To avoid spoilers, the map is untagged (and might just make for a good player handout, if you're thinking of downloading it). That said, there are a couple of points of...

Meet the Iconics: Merisiel

Meet the Iconics: Merisiel Monday, July 23, 2007 The elves have a name for elven children unfortunate enough to be born and raised in human society—the Forlorn. In a few rare cases, these foundlings or orphaned elves find loving homes with humans, although the fact that, over the course of their childhood, one-time playmates become their effective guardians and foster parents results in a strangely skewed sense of the self. Most Forlorn aren't as fortunate—they live on the streets...

Downer—Volume 1: Wandering Monster

Wandering Monster

Wandering Monster Friday, July 20, 2007Finally, the entire run of Downer, Kyle Hunter's magnificent adventure epic from the pages of Dungeon, is being collected in one place! Well, two actually. Collected in two full-color trade paperback volumes, of which Wandering Monster is the first, Hunter's dark and witty comic chronicles the adventures of Downer Tarantula, renegade drow, and his band of misfit friends as they attempt to keep a powerful relic known as the ulolock out of the clutches of...

City of the Beast (aka Warriors of Mars) (Trade Paperback)

City of the Beast

City of the Beast Wednesday, July 18, 2007As the second book to be released by Planet Stories, City of the Beast couldn't be more perfect for the line. First off, you've got Michael Moorcock, arguably one of the most important sword and sorcery authors of all time, the man who created the original fantasy anti-hero, Elric of Melniboné, and popularized such concepts as the multiverse. Now add in the fact that City of the Beast, the first in Moorcock's Kane of Old Mars trilogy, sends...

The New Kids

The New Kids Friday, July 13, 2007 Readers who've had a chance to check out D1: Crown of the Kobold King have doubtless noticed the pre-generated characters at the back. But whereas Valeros and Seoni both had pictures... we didn't have illustrations for our human cleric of Sarenrae, Kyra, or our stabby short-tempered elven rogue, Merisiel. Look for each of these two to get their own Meet the Iconics entries in our blog in a few weeks, but for now, these awesome sketches from Wayne Reynolds...

Our partners in charge of translating the game into Spanish and French have created two new top-quality websites promoting it, both of which include a flash introduction using art from the game that makes Stonehenge seem... well, brush off those high school Spanish and French dictionaries and see for yourself.

Conquering the Vale

Conquering the Vale Tuesday, July 10, 2007There are a lot of things I like about dragons. They're iconic, they fly, they have breath weapons, they're deadly in melee, and they're incredibly intelligent (for the most part). Unfortunately, this usually puts them in the role of boss monster or lone combatant. Fighting against a host of dragons either feels a bit out of place or is reserved for very high-level characters. True dragons are also kind of a pain to generate, unlike other monsters....

The Pathfinder Journal

The Pathfinder Journal Monday, July 2, 2007When we first came up with the outline for a typical volume of Pathfinder, there were several key things we wanted to make sure made it into every book. There had to be an adventure, of course, and several supporting articles giving background material that specifically expanded the adventure. There had to be an introduction that gave people a look behind the scenes, pregenerated characters, and numerous new monsters that could be easily dropped into...
