Just wanted to publicly extend my and all of Paizo's thanks to veteran intern Dave Eitelbach who wraps up his experience with us this week. Dave's been an invaluable help during one of the most hectic times in Paizo's life and all of us here would be far less sane right now were it not for his tireless efforts. We hope he'll remain a familiar face on these boards and wish him all the best with his future writing, gaming, and everything else! Thanks a ton Dave!

Thanks for your work on the blog updates and all the other stuff you did behind the scenes. May the road ahead rock mightily.

I enjoyed reading your blog entries. Good luck in your future endeavors!

Good luck, Dave! And may you yet land a permanent job on the Paizo crew... until that happens, you can hang out with us here. If you're interested in becoming a librarian, we always have room for more unsusp... er, qualified people here in Westcrown! ;)

Good luck Dave! I for one appreicate what you have done for us and for Paizo! May you have a blessed life!

David Eitelbach, Sat, Jul 4, 2009, 03:32 PM

Thanks everyone!

I'm very sad to be leaving Paizo (who would want to leave their dream job?), but my empty wallet sings sad songs to me, so it's time to look for a salary.

I definitely plan on keeping in contact with everyone at Paizo and remaining a presence here on these boards (I am, after all, a Paizo fanboi at heart), so don't expect me to disappear entirely!

Thanks to all the Paizo fans and customers who made my time here so awesome - I really did feel like a part of the family.

May the road ahead rock mightily indeed!

Its been a lot of fun reading your blog entries. Good luck in your career, and hopefully you'll stick around the boards.

Best wishes in your new pursuits, David. I'm sorry to see you go, both because you got me stuff and because you took good-natured abuse well. ;)

David, thanks for reviving interest in the 1e DMG Appendix N. That was an inspired idea and bodes well for you. I enjoyed your staff interviews. Best wishes.

Awww, man, now I'll never get my last unicorn avatar. :)

Sorry. to see you go, Dave, you did a great job with your interviews. I'll guess that also means the end of Vadid though I've feared for a long time that he would eventually be caught by the Golem.

But good to hear that you'll stay on board.

Who is this 'Dave'? Why is the nice black dragon Mr. Schneider letting him go, instead of eating him? I thought that black dragons ate most things which crossed their territory?
Or at least on Golarion?
Or is this a different world, where black dragons are happy, bouncy, bunnies, that hop and skip and play with unicorns, and are attended by dozens of fey maidens?
Ohhh. Maybe this is one of those worlds, and Dave is a unicorn stallion?
Wanders off trailing what she thinks are fireworks going off behind her, but which are in fact vicious, maximised, delayed blast fireballs.

Silly alias posts aside (Lucinda Dark: I heard that, and maintain that I am no less silly than you. ) good luck Dave, and pleased to see that you attempted to up the rate of blog post production towards the end of your tenure...
A lot of us are happy for you (and/or maybe insanely jealous) that you've had a chance to 'live the Paizo dream' in Seattle; and like Doctor Who actors/actresses you may now have been marked for life as 'one of the Paizo staff', and will have to attend some conventions in disguise, to avoid the chance of being pumped relentlessly for information on your time at Paizo.

Uh, and your wallet isn't singing Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li! is it? :)

Crystal Frasier (Production Assistant), Sun, Jul 5, 2009, 08:21 AM

Good-bye, Dave. I barely even got to know you. I hope you find a great position and a comfortable salary.

Watcher (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Sun, Jul 5, 2009, 10:13 AM

Best of luck! Will you still be doing some work on Dwarves of Golarion?

Tarren Dei (RPG Superstar 2009 Top 8), Sun, Jul 5, 2009, 10:19 AM

Good luck, Dave. We're still jealous of you for your internship, ya lucky bastard.

KaeYoss (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion, Planet Stories Subscriber), Sun, Jul 5, 2009, 12:57 PM

Good luck, Dave!

You kept your passkey to the Vault, right? Or made a copy?

Best Wishes!

Sean K Reynolds (Developer), Mon, Jul 6, 2009, 12:06 PM

Good luck, Dave!

/casts a fear effect on Dave's character, against which he apparently has NO saving throw

best wishes, david!

Best of luck, David!

Thanks Dave! Best of luck in all your future endeavors! You can certainly rest knowing this one was a success!

Good luck!
