Nice, gotta find a way to work this into my homebrew campaign, which does have our pal Mr. Fafnheir leaving his "caves and crags" in a rage. (My BBEG claims to have killed him but has actually trapped him in a divine binding with the help of Lamashtu and Ragadahn).

My PCs are going to free him and turn him loose on BBEG but it'll be a tenuous alliance at best.

Maybe I'll make this text available to the PCs so they can use it to goad him into taking action, if he feels hesitant...

Then again another part of me wonders if Fafnheir didn't hear the rumors that this text survived and made a special trip, starting that library fire himself to cover the record of his shame, maybe not staying long enough to finish the job for fear of attracting Dahak's attention.

Bottom line is that these things are common, so before anyone mashes the "I'm taking my business elsewhere!" button, consider whether any other company is actually better at life, or whether, like Paizo a week ago, was just better at keeping their detractors silent. You're likely just buying yourself a few years of blissful ignorance before you find out that the people you thought were great have some deeply problematic behaviors.

Because, frankly, everyone has deeply problematic behaviors, and the more time you spend with someone (or someone spends with you), the more likely they are to see it manifest.

The commonality of a problem is relevant if you think you can take your guilt-free dollars elsewhere, but it's not relevant if your goal is to see this community and team (especially the workers) thrive. In that case, it's fair to ask for corrective action. And of course, we still have only a few sides of the story but corroboration, yadda yadda, etc.

There will be monsters from 1E, updated to Second Edition. With monsters like the Sandpoint Devil, which already has stats in Bestiary 2, we're providing new content to help with Sandpoint Devil adventures and campaigns. We have a nice mix of existing monsters and brand new monsters in this book to help out flesh out new stories and foes. The monsters hail from all over Golarion, so look forward to monsters from beyond Avistan and Garund!

Sounds like Luis is getting his Arcadia on, after all.

I played around with it for the first time today, and am a little confused here and there. I'll have to sit down and read the examples a bit more thoroughly.

What I would have loved is a "monster creation character sheet" or basically a worksheet to track all of these steps. Hoping somebody will homebrew one someday...
