We had a few hours of downtime on Saturday and a few more this morning.

Everything is back up and we're investigating the cause.

Welcome to the new Maure Castle forum.

Maure Castle was featured in Dungeon #112 and Dungeon #124.

Did you know that the Maure Castle adventure won a Gold ENnie for Best Adventure?

The site seems to have been unavailable for the last 6 hours or so.

Anyway, I dragged myself to work and it's all better now.

In honor of Order of the Stick now appearing in Dragon magazine, we have added the main characters to the available avatar images.

Enjoy!

...is available now.

See above.

Check out the latest sneak peek (240KB PDF) of Paizo's upcoming Dragon Compendium, Vol. 1.

This time, we take a look at some of the monsters making their way into the book!

Would you like to work for Dragon and Dungeon?

Thought I'd mention it here on the boards.

We had a couple hours of downtime this evening.

All better now.

Sweeeeeet.

Let us know what you think!

Bam!

We made a few more avatar images available. They are D&D minis from Angelfire.

Enjoy!

Welcome!

We are reindexing everything on the site this afternoon. Could take a few hours before the Search tool is fully functional again.

Thanks to some customer feedback, this morning we discovered a problem with the shipping weight for Angelfire minis singles.

That problem has now been corrected, so if the shipping & handling scared you off over the weekend, please feel free to have another look. : )

The downloadable preview is at http://paizo.com/download/shackledCity/preview-statblocks.pdf

Sweeeeeeet. (If I may say so myself.)

And, hey, let me know if you have a favorite D&D mini that you'd like me to add as an avatar image.

The Shackled City hardcover is better than ice cream.

Discuss.

Explore Eberron in a whole new way with Five Nations! Designed by Bill Slavicsek, David Noonan, and Christopher Perkins, the histories, people, and customs of Khorvaire differentiate themselves as never before. Descriptions of each nation present specific new monsters, adventure hooks, and NPCs. For instance, only Thranes possess the silvereye marauder, a construct infused with the Silver Flame, while Karrns might join the exclusive Order of Rekkenmark, fully fleshed out with honorary ranks, specialized equipment, and access to unique magebred animals. You will also gain character insights and ideas from the various “Day in the Life of…” stories, plus the many flavorful sidebars detailing common expressions, regional names, and even national anthems.

As if that wasn't enough, there's also a new Eberron Deluxe Dungeon Masters Screen! Just what every Eberron DM needs—a setting-customized screen featuring art by Wayne Reynolds. Beyond the usual DM tables inside, you’ll find a listing of all the dragon-marked houses and associated guilds plus the days and months of the Eberron calendar year. As a bonus, the package includes a poster map of Khorvaire, featuring new locations, roads, and more.

In the interest of keeping everyone informed...

We've had some outages recently, including last night and this morning, related to a failing DNS server.

This problem (among others) should go away as we upgrade our servers over the next couple of weeks.

By popular demand, we have opened up these new forums for your enjoyment.

Have at it!

The store has been live for a few weeks now. What do you guys think?

Like it? Hate it? Got a reason?

We're adding little fixes and tweaks and features all the time, but I'd love to hear what you guys would like out of the store now and in the future.

Our servers went down early this morning (Friday, 26 Nov 2004) . We've got them back up now.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

We launched our new game store here on paizo.com yesterday!

We're very excited about it, having worked for months to bring it to you. Naturally, it's a work in progress and will evolve as the days, weeks, and months progress.

You can contribute to making it a great place for gamers to shop by giving us your feedback here or at customer.service@paizo.com. So, if you like, ask questions, suggest improvements, and give us corrections for inaccurate product data you might find.

We look forward to serving you and your gaming needs.

We took paizo.com down for a few hours (roughly 10ish to 1:45ish today Pacific) while we moved the servers into our new office space.

Obviously, the site is now back up. : )

The surveys advertised in the latest Dragon and Dungeon issues will be on the site Tuesday or Wednesday (the 7th or 8th of September). Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience. : )

This is bigger and this is smaller.

Sweet!

So the biggest gaming convention of the year is this weekend in Indianapolis. Many of my excellent Paizo compatriots are arriving there today. Be sure to stop by the Paizo booth and see them if you are lucky enough to be going!

Meanwhile, let's hear from everyone...

What's the buzz at Gen Con this year?

What are the coolest new games?

Let's hear it!

A bunch of the guys and gals from Paizo are arriving at Gen Con Indy today. Me, I'm still here in good old Bellevue, WA.

Long story short, I want to hear all about the convention. So let's get these brand new messageboards started off with a big helping of Gen Con info!

If you are at Gen Con this weekend, feel free to dish out the Gen Con dirt right here!
