Pathfinder Chronicles: Harrow Deck

Forging a Connection

... Forging a Connection Wednesday, February 13th, 2008The 54 cards of the Harrow do not only portend sunderings and strife. Indeed, the cards can also express creation and unity. ... The Forge, for example, represents strength through great diversity. It is a test, and those who pass the test are the stronger for it. The Marriage is a union—of people, of countries, or even of ideas and thoughts. Mergers portended by The Marriage cannot be parted. ... Note how both the Forge's hammer...

Pathfinder Chronicles: Harrow Deck

Beware the Ravages of the Cyclone!

... Beware the Ravages of the Cyclone! Wednesday, February 6th, 2008The 54 cards of the Harrow do not tell you what you want to hear. No no. They tell you what was, what is, and what will be. Sometimes, a card comes up in your reading you do not want to see. ... One of the cards nobody wants is the dreaded Cyclone. This dire card expresses destruction and cataclysm. Worse yet, it symbolizes disaster wrought by thinking minds, and not the oft-random tragedies wrought by Nature. ... All is not...

All Hail the Rabbit Prince!

... All Hail the Rabbit Prince! Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Within the 54 cards of the Harrow deck live your past, your present, and your future. Like you, each card is unique and has its own story to tell. ... Take, for example, the Rabbit Prince. He tells stories of battle. Glorious, bloody, horrific battle, with opponents facing off in chaotic melees doing all they can to kill one another with sword and spear and axe. The Rabbit Prince relishes hand-to-hand combat and, like it, he is both...

GolarionContinents

How big is it?

How big is it? Thursday, October 25, 2007For some time now, people have been asking us how big Golarion is, and many have had the misconception that Varisia, being our most detailed region so far, comprises the majority of our setting. Nothing could be further from the truth, and to give you an idea of scale, Jason Bulmahn has pulled out the coastal outlines of the two continents that comprise the first Golarion world map (which will appear in the Pathfinder Chronicles Gazetteer) and dropped...

Riddleport

Welcome to Riddleport!

Welcome to Riddleport! Wednesday, October 10, 2007By now, Pathfinder readers are getting to know Magnimar (detailed in Pathfinder #2). And when we launch the second Pathfinder Adventure Path, Curse of the Crimson Throne, there'll be all sorts of details on Korvosa. But what about Varisia's third city, Riddleport? While we do indeed have plans to eventually present Riddleport in greater detail, for the foreseeable future there's not going to be much about the notorious port town at...

Humans of Varisia

Humans of Varisia Wednesday, June 6, 2007As mentioned in previous blog posts, the Varisian region contains three prominent human ethnicities: ... Chelaxian: Monument-haunted Magnimar and imperial-minded Korvosa vie for control of southern Varisia. In these cities and the numerous vassal settlements of each, the majority of the populace can trace their ancestry to the sharp-featured people of Cheliax.

Varisia: Players Welcome Wednesday, May 9, 2007One of the biggest challenges when starting a new campaign is getting your players invested in the world. Sure, you may have set up the adventure and prepared all your notes, memorized your maps and picked out accents for the various local NPCs the party will meet... but what about your players? They can't exactly read the same source material you are without tripping over spoilers, and sitting down for a three-hour lecture about the local...
