Had you wandered into the Paizo editorial pit last Friday the only way you'd have known it was Halloween was by our pumpkin spice lattes. (Don't judge! We live in Seattle!) In fact, I think Josh, Alison, and Cosmo were the only three trick-or-treat-ready members of the whole crew. But around 3:00 we got an e-mail from Liz Courts (our own Lilith) with an illustration by Hugo Solis of a Hallow-awesome bash featuring all your favorite Paizo message boarders! Thanks a ton to Hugo for his incredible work—smurfs have never been so well dressed—and for bringing a cauldron full of Halloween spirit to the office! It's making us all rethink our avatars since now we've only two short months before the Festivus bash, right Hugo?! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Every year I like to carve pumpkins for Halloween. I've carved pumpkins with WotC friends, New York friends, a gang of Vegas showgirls, and now with some Paizo peeps. We always have someone who has either never carved a pumpkin before (like the young lady from Britain in 2006) or hasn't done so since childhood. Like riding a bike, it's a skill that stays with you once you start doing it again. Wednesday night, Alison (Customer Service), Brock (Warehouse Team), and myself gathered in our freezing-cold main conference room and took serrated knife to the orange enemy....
Alison's "Ghosts in the Window"
Brock's "Elder Sign" (and notice that the front is a spooky face, and the Elder Sign actually projects candlelight onto the wall behind it)
And the latest retread of Sean's annual "Look it's a Spider on a Web"
