You Are Not Forgotten!

Still sad at the lack of a comprehensive sneak peak for ultimate campaign but I will say I love the iconic with a nursery full of goblins and the maiden, mother, crone art from what I guess is the next reign of winter ap. Very cool to see some new art focusing on some feminine myths cycle ideas. Also cool that we get a piece with a pregnant woman that isn't Lamashtu.

HOLY........................

That Reign of Winter art is phenomenal!

Agreed'd. And it's not just the landscape. Harsk and Amiri look really nice in that piece. All weathered and such. And it's really fun to see "cold weather gear" versions of the iconics. :)

As for the other pieces of art:

"Vos"....could this be from Ibdylos in Reign of Winter?

"Elessia"....huh. Wonder where this could be from. Maybe she's from Champions of Puri-

Hayato and goblin babby

:D

ONE MORE WEEK

Oh man, his face :)

edit-Whoops, taking a second look, Elessia's a changeling. Probably from Reign of Winter then!

Vos and Elessia are also tagged with PZO9540; the 9500 line is the Module line, so my bet is they're both from Fangwood Keep. Hayato's tagged inn PZO9431, which is a number in the Player Companion line, so probably Champions of Purity.

On further investigation, look at the URL they're linked to and they're clearly from those two lines. :)

Wow, now that it's pointed out(AND THE MYSTERY HAS BEEN RUINED :O), that guy does look really Molthrune appropriate. :)

. What is Ibdylos ?

That reign of winter is really great work.
Also Hayako is fricken hilarious, he doesn't know if he should change its diaper or just leave them all with a church.

What is Ibdylos ?

Iblydos is an ancient island nation off the coast of Casmaron with some strong Greek(and possibly other Mediterranean influenced) flavor going on.

But I actually remembered the product description incorrectly, I think. Maiden, Mother, and Crone is going to touch on Iobaria rather than Iblydos, IIRC. :)

Ahhhh, so THAT is how you sling a greatsword! And now we know.

Kudos. Love it all.

It's the Supremes!

NO WAY! I thought for sure I would have to describe that cliff face if RoW ever went there.

Amiri: "Why is it always stone carvings of nekkid women?"
Harsk: "'Cause no one, man or woman, wants to see a limp **** the size of--"
Amiri: "ENOUGH!"

HOLY CRAP SHE IS! I will probably buy that book now. Changelings are my favorite race. I must support them. XD

You know, I'd not mind getting this kind of blog post more often.

I like that she's got it wrapped up and is holding it in place with her hand, so that all she has to do is ease up a little on her grip and let the sword spin free of the straps, for speed of 'drawing.'

Very clever. And wow, that woman has some grip strength...

Baby goblins! Awesome and cute at the same time,

Yeah, really liking how this was finally revealed. Practical, even if it still provides the problem of turning around in a crowd. :)

I think this may also be the most rugged that sword has ever appeared...

Some great artwork - I look forward to seeing it "in the paper"! :)

We here at Paizo HQ are deep in the throes of birthing a number of incredible products for release at Gen Con in August

Please tell me this includes Bestiary 4! :P

Actually, it isn't a greatsword. If you check out her stats, she uses a large-sized bastard sword, complete with the -2 penalty for swinging that 2d8 sword around. :D

Ugh, now I'm extremely disappointed. I wish I'd known that when I stat'ed out my barbarian. Oh well, in my group's imagination ... that's what a greatsword looks like.

EDIT: Actually this post - Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Preview #10 has it listed as a +4 frost keen adamantine greatsword ... and that's what I'd initially stat'ed my character with.

And bestiary boxes for 2 and 3!

It won't. We know the products that will be coming out at Gencon, and B4 isn't amongst them.

We can't be too far off the October products going up though, which I'm guessing is 50% likely to make you happy (with the other 50% coming a month later)

Interesting. I was going off of Second Darkness where in the back of the books she has a large bastards sword. They must have changed it for that, and then changed back since now the NPC Codex has her starting with a large bastard sword too. <shrug>

" she came to an immense body at the foot of a cliff—the giant had fallen to his death weeks before, and at his side lay his immense bastard sword. "

It canonically is a Large Bastard Sword.

A Real-Life Greatsword can be carried on the waist like a Longsword. Though they typically are carried on the Back.

Also, I love how the Statues are fitting to the Legend of the Maiden, Mother, [&] Crone.

I don't know why people say they didn't scabbard greatswords or claymores. If half the people at ren faires can figure out 6 different ways to leave their hands free when walking around with the blasted things I'm sure the folks who made a living tromping 20 miles a day with them did as well.

Only 6 Ways? My Group alone has figured out 13 ways in the last minute.

Really stunning artworks, all... breath-taking.

So, this is going to sound petty...

I wish the sword and board figure had armor on the tops of the feet. Greek Hoplites often only had one armored leg (the left one, the one forward, and below the shield when fighting) - but even they knew to armor the top of the foot. Otherwise the enemy spikes you to the ground with a spear thrust and all you get to do is run in circles... if you can stand at all.

I can understand the lack of a helmet - artistic licence and all that - show off the face. But... armored feet! at least steel toed boots!

at least steel toed boots!

Maybe they are armored, but under the leather. And I think Mithral toed boots would be better ;)

maybe - but with that style of armor I think they would be over the foot - like the greaves are. Perhaps hinged and attached to the shin piece?

and as for material? Adamantine, for kicking your way thru walls! Doors! Mooks! Who cares if the boots are light and silvery? Not heavy armored sword swingers! And we'll put something eye catching engraved on them. That way when you look down to see what exactly my boot says, I'll plant my sword in your forehead!
