Gen Con Pathfinder Society Recap

Sounds like a great event! I wish I could have been there. I love the idea of unique promotional elements for folks that can actually make it. Very cool!

Yay, I can stop bugging James for the pictures! :D

Many thanks, James and Mark! Excellent artwork, Mister Reynolds!

So now, come here you all color-challenged folks who claimed that Shalelu has green hair.

Come closer. Take a look. TAKE A FREAKIN' GOOD LOOK!

;-)

For those Pathfinder Society players and GMs who couldn't make it to the show, we'll be trying similar promotions at regional conventions and game stores in the coming months, spearheaded by our invaluable Venture-Captains, so keep an eye out for your chance to get some exclusive Pathfinder Society Chronicles in your area.

This...is awesome.

Thank you very much for doing this and for being the classy company you are.

If there is anything I need to do to get involved in these promotions (other than harass JP), please let me know. I have several players already clamoring for the possibility of these boons, and would love to start telling details.

Thanks, again.

Can't hear you, too busy correcting the color on that picture pixel by pixel. Something must have gone wrong during the blog upload!

Damn it's good to see new WAR art on the blog. :) Actually picked up a print of Ameiko along with Sajan and Imrijka at GenCon. Wayne Reynolds is a pretty cool guy, eh's friendly to fans and doesn't afraid of drawing all the equipment.

still don't know why Shalelu's called Sarge elsewhere...

New Rule:

People who like Shalelu with green hair are not allowed to badmouth Second Darkness.

Isn´t Shalelu full-Elven? Aren´t Elves supposed to have the all-black eyes?
Or is it just SOME Elves have that eye style? I liked the black eyes, more alien than skinny ´aryans´...???

Don't look at me! I enjoyed SD!

Even if it tricked me into finding a ghoul attractive.

Totally not a ghoul lover.

Barring that one.

And the one from Rival Guide.

Damn it...

I'd take the one from Rival Guide out to a dinner in a blink.

One truly gets desperate in his dating choices after you hit 30...

Nope; elves just have solid color eyes, with no whites showing. In Shalelu's case, that color is light blue. In Merisiel's case that color is very dark blue (which usually just ends up being black in most illos).

Now let's all just pretend that Second Darkness illo never existed...

OK, that´s still alien enough for me then... :-)

That Shalelu picture makes up for the awful boobs-on-parade image.

I'm so glad that WAR has done the 'iconic' pictures for Shalelu and Ameiko.

Just one look at that Ameiko image and you know that she's not going to be a natural fit for Empress and that she's probably got the brass neck to pull it off anyway.

Shalelu is all beautiful-but-deadly, with a distant, untouchable beauty, which is exactly how I imagined her when I read Burnt Offerings.

Ace.

Has anyone noticed that the art is reversed on the covers themselves? or is it reversed here..which leads to the question. are the ladies left or right handed?

whyoes that even matter....

anyway... very nice artwork

I don't like the solid eyes on Pathfinder elves. They make them look like insects IMO.

So, who has to get 'disappeared' for PFS to get The Sagamore Ballroom? WotC doesn't look like they need all that space anymore.

...but that's why I like them. >.>

And Shalelu's hair is totally green. =p

They should just build another gigantic ballroom in the convention center and name it the Hall of Gear! Though it should probably have a bar in it. The Sagamore Ballroom is missing a bar.

As if you need a bar -inside- the PFS room, Tim. ;)

That way we wouldn't have to stop the games at midnight...

Hey, I was not sitting at Kyle Baird's table!

Seriously though, if there was a bar inside the room, nobody would have to stay out late looking for a bar afterwards.

Besides, weren't there Pathfinder shot glasses as prizes?

I'm a reasonable person, they can just haul a bar in and keep it fully-stocked, tended, and open for the entire convention. That is, in my WHOLE NEW CUSTOM BALLROOM!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA We shall have to come up with some custom designs to etch into the "imperial" pints and jiggers. Being a PFS room, maybe put faction symbols on some of the jiggers.

Being as its your ballroom and all, I was thinking you could have the honor of doling out the new faction brands.

Edit: For those of you who don't know Gear, I'm not talking brands as in brand names or brand marketing... I'm talking brands as in cattle.

I say we get Booms to tend said bar. Save me a stool.

Since I actually am concerned about these characters' handedness for another project (ahem), I can say with authority that the way these characters appear on the covers of the books is the "real" version of these characters. The versions on this blog post are a special bonus mirror-image view.

<stoking the coals> Hmm?
