I'll be picking mine up...*checks calendar* next Monday, when I get paid. Depending on how things go, I may be picking up a copy of GM Gems, the critical hit deck, and a card capsule to store said deck in. And deck protectors. I love Paizo!

When is this coming out print again?

So does this give tips on getting published, or on how to publish your own work via PDF or something. Or is this more like GM advise. Wasn't sure, but I would like to gain some insight on starting up a publishing house (small one obviously) and would like to know how much I don't know.

It's more on how to craft an adventure and points to remember when making a story. If its industry stuff you want to know about, try taking a look at this.

As I'm going to be writing a lot of adventures in the future, mostly for Dragonlance but also some for Pathfinder, this book should be very helpful to me. It's always good to learn some tricks from the best.

Louis Porter has recently released some of that information, updated and in PDF form, here.

Are they any way to get this book in Canada without paying a unknown price because the shipment, the conversion, etc?

At paizo.com, you'll be given the exact shipping price before you check out... but we only accept payment in US dollars, so currency conversion is still in play.

Yeah, it sold out rather quickly. However, it is still available at Kobold Quarterly right now, and I hope to have a restock to Paizo in February.

And hey, congrats on making Top 32!

This book was nominated for an ORIGINS award today. Yowza!

Yahoo! Way to go, guys!

Awesome! This was a fantastic read! Glad to see it's getting the respect it deserves!

I finally buy this book in my LGS with the volume two and the PFRPG Core Rulebook at the street release date of this last book. It was an awesome book to read about the design of an adventure. Also, it can work to all system of RPG or the presentation of a useful document for a customer.
