From the Publisher: Changes Are Coming!

... From the Publisher: Changes Are Coming! Friday, November 2, 2012 As we move into the last two months of 2012, the editorial staff is hard at work on the playtest for next year’s Mythic Adventures, the warehouse staff is eagerly awaiting the arrival of our big winter hardcover, the NPC Codex, and the web team is cranking away at the exciting new Paizo Game Space virtual tabletop. Everyone has smiles on their face as they complete major tasks for 2012 and as they begin to think about what’s...

GameMastery Map Pack: Rooftops

Synergistic Maps

... Synergistic Maps Tuesday, October 16, 2012 When I'm not working on the next upcoming hardback rulebook, or apps, or whatever needs to be done around this place, my mind is on maps. While the talented Jason Engle makes our Flip-Mat and Map Packs gorgeous, I'm the guy who dreams up what goes on those maps and how they work together. And that's a fun job! ... For the past year and a half I've been working hard to make these lines as fun and useful as possible. I've worked to make many of our...

Carnage at Your Fingertips

... Carnage at Your Fingertips Tuesday, March 27, 2012Do you like your combats bloody? When you score a critical hit or your enemy fumbles, do you want viscera to spray across the screen in you mind? Do you like the sound of your vanquished foe’s body slam against the walls of that cliff you threw him down? Then you probably already have the GameMastery Critical Hit Deck and Critical Fumble Deck. Paizo now offers them in digital form, as the iCrit and iFumble apps and they are available for...

GameMastery Item Cards: Skull & Shackles

Ultimate Equipment: What's Missing?

... Ultimate Equipment: What's Missing? Tuesday, March 6, 2012Now that we’re wrapping up the last of the Advanced Race Guide, the design team is starting to work on Ultimate Equipment. This hardcover will cover all kinds of mundane and magical items for the Pathfinder RPG. As we have a little time before the text goes over to the editors, we’d like to give you one last chance to provide feedback for the book. Is there a kind of magic item that you’d like to see in this book? Is there an item...

GameMastery Plot Twist Cards: Flashbacks

Design Blog: Flashbacks

... Design Blog: Flashbacks January 24, 2012 ... Illustrations by Emrah ElmasliThis week we’re shipping Game Mastery Plot Twist Cards: Flashbacks, a sequel to the original Plot Twist Cards deck. The point of using Plot Twist Cards is to break out of the mindset that you have to have a precise rule for everything that happened, happens, or could happen in a game. You don’t have to explain why the paladin never mentioned his days as a street thief, or how the “Abyssal bloodline” sorcerer is...

Mapping the Path

... Mapping the Path Tuesday, January 17, 2012I’ll be honest with you. I love maps. I always have, so when Erik, Wes, and Jason asked me if I wanted to start designing the Map Packs and Flip-Maps for the GameMastery line, I just yelled, “Gimme!” Then I ran away, laughing manically with my new toy. ... This is a section of the “artwork” I sent to Jason for Flip-Mat: Pirate Ship. It’s ugly, but gets the point across, which is the purpose of the sketch.By designing maps, I don’t mean that I...

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: GameMastery Guide (OGL)

The GameMastery Guide: Mascots & Masterpieces!

... The GameMastery Guide: Mascots & Masterpieces! Thursday, May 6, 2010Aside from a metric ton of advice, new rules, charts, tools, and the like, one thing the GameMastery Guide has in spades is awesome new art! As you might have seen on the snippet from the credits page last week, a horde of fantastic artists contributed to this tome. We also did something a little unusual. Rather than illustrating every topic with our iconic heroes or scenes of battle or whatever have you, Andrew Hou...

GameMastery Map Pack: Caverns

Map Pack: Caverns

... Map Pack: Caverns Friday, June 6, 2008Water trickles across the floor and drips from the ceiling. Skittering sounds echo from somewhere up ahead and around a corner. The pungent stench of mildew emanates off the wet dungeon walls. ... This art sample is but a whiff of what these map tiles may inspire you to tell your players about the dank, dark caverns that they will be traipsing through! The newest addition to the Map Packs line takes adventurers deep into the belly of the world with...

Presenting what is likely the highest rat-to-map-grid ratio of any GameMastery Map Pack, Slums is already available in stores and paizo.com. ... Mike McArtor ... Editor ...

Whether you're tromping the streets of Old Korvosa, any of the other cities in Golarion, or a city of your own making, it's bound to have slums.

The Harrow Deck Cometh!

The Harrow Deck Cometh! Friday, December 7, 2007One of the most innovative things I've seen in D&D occurred back in the original Ravenloft, where the villain's motivation, treasure placement, and adventure goals depended upon the results of an in-game fortune-telling session. Even years later, I still recall that feeling of surprise and excitement when I first looked through that adventure. With Curse of the Crimson Throne, Pathfinder's second Adventure Path, we'll be trying something...

Going... going...

Going... going... Wednesday, September 19, 2007Having a product go out of print is a strange experience. On the one hand, it might mean you've done something right and your product was a success, selling through the entire print run. Yet on the other hand, it's strange to think that something you've worked on and put a little bit of yourself into is going to disappear forever (except, of course, from the gaming tables of all those who purchased it, and perhaps eBay or a particularly...

GameMastery Flip-Mat: City Market

Flippin' Awesome

Flippin' Awesome Thursday, September 13, 2007I don't know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with maps in RPG gaming. Back in middle school when I first got into the hobby, we might have had a few miniatures to represent characters, plus terrain made from dice, pencils, and those little plastic tables that come in the center of your pizza box. It wasn't until much, much later, when someone introduced me to D&D 3.5, that I finally saw the light and realized that things like...

GameMastery Map Pack: Sewers

Making the Most of Map Packs

... Making the Most of Map Packs Monday, June 11, 2007We've been doing GameMastery Map Packs for a while now. They started out as a way for us to give you full-color, miniatures-scale maps that you could arrange and set up however you like. While they still fulfill that function, we're always looking for ways to improve upon them to give you more great maps. ... The upcoming set Map Pack: Sewers is just one example of what we're trying to do. This set of eighteen 8 x 5 tiles (set to release...
