Pathfinder Cards: Shattered Star Face Cards

Enhance Your Game with the Shattered Star Face Cards!

I'm a big fan of Face Cards. In my own games I have used cards from multiple sets both to depict NPCs and to inspire creatively blocked players during character generation. Face Cards add a lot of depth and color to any game. The Shattered Star Face Cards, available now, are no exception! These cards depict notable characters from the Shattered Star Adventure Path, but the faces are also intriguing and evocative even if, like me, you haven't had the chance to play though Shattered Star yet.

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Rounding Third, Heading for Home

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Elementally, My Dear Watson

We're now less than three weeks from the January 23rd release date for the new Shattered Star set of Pathfinder Battles prepainted fantasy miniatures! So far we've revealed nearly 40 of the set's 55 figures, but a little math will tell you that from now until the release date, we've got to reveal a decent number of figures to show them all off before you can buy them yourselves in the store.

Pathfinder Adventure Path #66: The Dead Heart of Xin (Shattered Star 6 of 6) (PFRPG)

So You've Survived the End of the World

In the spirit of the end times, I thought it would be fitting to provide a glimpse at what's coming at the start of the new year—a supporting article in Pathfinder Adventure Path #66: The Dead Heart of Xin detailing all seven of the infamous runelords of ancient Thassilon. Because their potential return to the modern world of Golarion could very well usher in a catastrophe even the biggest Mayan prophecy conspiracy theorist couldn't dream up, here are the headshots of all seven. So while you're out enjoying time off work for the holiday season, keep your eyes peeled for Varisia's Most Wanted.

Pathfinder Battles Preview: The Dog Days of Winter

We're less than a month from the formal release of the Shattered Star set of Pathfinder Battles prepainted miniatures! Here in the Paizo offices, things are very, very quiet, as it seems just about everyone but me remembered to take the day off to have a continuous holiday between Christmas and New Year's Day. Well, my mistake is your reward, as all this silence in the office during the "Winter Break" has given me more than enough time to whip up a brand new Pathfinder Battles Preview Blog!

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Do Clockwork Kings Dream of Electric Golems?

So here it is, Paizo fans! The Clockwork Reliquary, finally unveiled after 10,000 years of slumber, risen from the waves and ruins of Thassilon to claim the lives of your PCs before moving onward to world domination at the head of its clockwork army! Can they stop it, or will all of Golarion once again kneel before the skymetal tyrant? Erik was right last week when he called this figure "the coolest mini in the whole set, possibly the most complex and awesome-est prepainted plastic mini ever made for any set." I couldn't agree more, and I know your wait was worth it.

Pathfinder Battles Preview: OMG, It's the Wyvern Friday, November 16, 2012 Work has been so busy lately I can hardly think straight. So here I am at 4:00 on a Friday afternoon, and I only now realized that I forgot to put together a preview blog for January's upcoming Shattered Star set of Pathfinder Battles prepainted fantasy miniatures! ...

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Water, Water, Everywhere Friday, November 9, 2012 In what seems like a first for these late fall Pathfinder Battles preview blogs, it's actually not raining outside our Washington State offices as I write this. But don't worry, I'm sure it soon will be. These last few weeks have shown us all the devastating power of nature, so I thought it might make a good occasion to show you two water-themed creatures from January's Shattered Star set of Pathfinder Battles...

Pathfinder Battles Preview: It's Raining Cats and Frogs Friday, November 2, 2012 It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Seattle lately, so I decided to take that as inspiration for this week’s preview. And since I don’t have a great photo of the set’s two awesome canine figures yet, I’m substituting a frog-like thing instead to preserve the delicate rhyme structure of my pun. ... I speak, of course, of the Boggard! ... Boggards have been with Pathfinder for a long time, and finally get their...

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Gray Days

Pathfinder Battles Preview: Gray Days Friday, October 19, 2012 The Halloween season is about more than just scares. Here in Seattle, the approach of Halloween means the end of nice weather and a months-long descent into the gray, a series of cloudy, rainy, dreary days often strung together 40 or 50 at a time. It's not the dreariness that gets you, or the dampness. It's the monotony of it all. The same day, every day, for days and days and days and days (can you tell I just got back from a...

James has done a lot to make the adventure his own, including transporting it to the nation of Osirion in the Pathfinder world, and adding several devious traps and monsters not in the original adventure. ...
