Read down to basically the last line...

Huzzah!
That's cool!
May this media coverage birth a few dozen new players!

More Jim Zub comicky goodness here on the Know Direction podcast/vlog:

Heads up (or has this already been mentioned in this thread)
the lovable guys over at the Pathfinder "Know Direction" podcast just did an episode entitled "Homosexuality in Golarion" (this thread is cited, btw).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1_SV8WmT4&feature=g-high-u

Wes Schneider himself is on hand to do a great talk re. the subject.
I particularly like his comments re. lack of trans representation in RPGs (Pathfinder included) up till now- and how that's a failing. To me, he did a great job of modeling how to be non-defensive when you're basically called out on an internalized 'norm' - and how you set about addressing it. (= he hints that an upcoming Empyreal Lord will be on the trans spectrum! Exciting!

Gotta love Paizo!

oh- and shout-out to Know Direction- check out their podcasts (which are now also videos) - they're great!

I love the call-back to your earlier short-story run starring Alareon the alchemist, who's also the protag of your excellent CITY OF THE FALLEN SKY, Tim.

And it was fun to hear the barrow-run as told by the OTHER side!

This story is one of my new favorites of the online Pathfinder fiction series!

Michael!
My fellow Bay Arean!

As of last round, you became the guy I most to win...and you still are!
But 'cocktail' ? Cocktail??? Don't taze me, bro!

Dude- "Egelsee Effluent" is RIGHT THERE for the picking!
It alliterates, it sounds grosser & more toxic (inna good way), and is more semantically precise to boot.

Or even Egelsee Sludge. Or Swill.

Regardless- I still dig this monster, it absolutely gets my vote, and you are still the guy I want to win!

Go forth, my brother! Prevail!

Can't wait!

And amazing art, as ALWAYS.
(Last night I Liked the FB Pathfinder Art group - where had it been all my life?)

In other news, I am not particularly comfortable with the fact that I find the illustration of the protagonist so attractive. (Brunet hipster males with cool hair being my especial weakness.)

What's that word in Golarion for humans who "like" halflings?

This is not a welcome bit of self-knowledge!

NICE!
Good work, Mr. Romine- I enjoy both these two characters, the setting, the influence of the sun and other stars - I look forward to seeing how everything plays out!

~New fan

Go, Team Us!

That is all!

Yay!

Feel free to add your own voting milestones (serious or comical).

Yep! I added to the list above that you took the ninth day.

YOU ARE THE BEST.

(And I like your politics too- going by at least some of your very recent postings. Double-win!)

Just getting into the Christmas spirit! And you've got it Winter Born, will get it to you in the next couple of days.

And here's a summary for clarity. Still 12 things to go guys![/QUOTE="Berik"]

Distant Worlds for Marcus?

Am I doing this right?

And ORACLES have been known to speak in verse, if I'm not mistaken...
and I do so love the oracle class...

So, I really dug Kevin A Murphy's alchemist-in-Galt stories. Like, a ton.
I think I said as much in the comments section back in the day- but in case I didn't- let me repeat: I like them a ton.

Smart, packed full of erudition, beautiful prose, and characters that I actually got sad about. But the stories also had some great 'pulp' action, deft twists and turns.

So- I would like at least one whole Pathfinder novel by him, please.
I'm not picky- it doesn't have to feature the alchemist. Entirely new characters in a relatively unknown Golarion country would be fine by me...

I also liked all of the clever poems Mr. Murphy did for y'all, back in the day!

Have we had a novel with a bard main character yet?

~Marcus

One player can play the card game - like, solitaire?
That would be great!

NICE!
Totally didn't see that coming: our main character's former occupation/affiliation...

Seriously, this AP name rolls off the tongue.

"...Culminating in the Sacrifice of Ke$ha on the Tainted Altar of Deskari in an Exceedingly Very Special Episode"

Dirge of the Demonsong

The Demonwar
Scars of Sin

Would have been what I suggested, if I hadn't been too late.

For what it's worth, Kain, I really like "The Demonwar"-

The Dusk Crusade

A Plague of Wings

The Plague Vow

Lords of Vermin

Speaking of locusts and demons...

Hordebreaker

Ooh, I like that one, Mikaze!

Lord of the Locust Host

The Scythed Land

Wings of the Abyss

The Plague Sermon

Do we already have this?

The Endless Foe

or Against the Endless [Foe}

Tarnished Angel

Scars of the Just

Tattered Angel[s]

Blood of the Just

Pilgrim's Progress!

Spent Prayers

The Blessing Way

--erp, nevermind, sounds too much like The Whispering Way?

Prayers for the Fallen

Blood & Salvation

The Narrow Road

Good Intentions

Road to Righteousness

[The] Mended Vow[s]

1. Mended Honor

nice echo of 'Mendev' in there, though I say it myself...

Listening right now, over breakfast!

DEElish!

Ooooooh, digging this!
I'm broke, but how can I not buy this book....?

I will buy this I will buy this I will buy this I will buy this

Sutter's Distant Worlds is a masterpiece of imagination.

Interplanetary AP ftw!!!

A Golarion board game would be awesome.
Risk meets Settlers of Catan meets...?

Oh, I know that the good Paizo folks are already stretched to the limit with their current lines, but still!

This would be so rad! Plus, might it not also be a good 'gateway' into the RPG for some potential players? Or at least help cement brand-awareness, in the same way that the MMO will ...

Anyway- I'm all for Golarion across as many platforms as possible!
