My series of RPG Blog 2 interviews with the good people at Paizo Publishing continues, and today I'm pleased to feature a Q&A with Paizo Publisher Erik Mona. In this interview, Erik discusses a bit of the business strategy behind the Pathfinder RPG, the whys of keeping Vancian magic, Pathfinder supplements we might see, a bit on Pathfinder Barbarians, and even a little bit about Greyhawk.
Getting rid of Vancian spellcasting for the Pathfinder RPG was never on the table. It would be as preposterous as scrapping the alignment system. It was Not Going to Happen.

I love this guy. :)

After three decades of presenting magic in this way, it seems ludicrous to all of a sudden say that it no longer exists. You can build other systems of arcane jiggery-pokery without sacrificing this core fantastic element of the game, so why bother?
And you're all welcome! I really enjoy doing these interviews! :)
I really liked his idea of making books centered on characters' level. I loved it in Extreme Paranoia and it would fit nicely with the levels tier in PFS modules.
Not only low-level characters can end up in really deep trouble after all.
