I will be in the PaizonCon area with my entire family for the 4th of July. I am wondering if any Paizo Fans (who are locales) might help us have a good time, or perhaps throwing a get together we can attend. We are visiting the area and don't know all that much. :/

Thanks in advance.

I received all the items in this order. However, the Distant Worlds products back cover has the glossy lamentation peeling off with noticeable air pockets trapped further in.

May I have copy of that product sent?

I am sorry to have posted on your board in a manner you find inappropriate. I understand there has been problems in the past concerning flames and threads but if I am inconveniencing anyone I can really drop out of this scene, altogether.

I am not trying to start some flame war or anything of the such.

But is Wizards of the Coast really good for the game industry?

Here is a metaphor:
It feels like this guy that ran away with my case of D&D beer and I find him in the back alley shirtless, sleeping with empty D&D beer cans all around him, next to a trash can/heap called Wizards of the Coast.

I will make no bones about it.

Corporations run your game.

But if you had a choice, why this corporation?

Merry Christmas! YOU ARE FIRED!

Sound familiar?

Oh accept it.

We love to be fired on Christmas from a great company. A company we see as the leader of the industry.

YOU ARE FIRED!

Oh wait, its January. Darn, we'll fire you next year.

I love 4th edition. It showed me the sickness of this industry. The sickness that if you work hard enough YOU GET FIRED.

They can fire their customers too.

You love 4th Edition? YOU'RE FIRED!

You love 3rd Edition? YOU'RE FIRED!

You love 2nd Edition? Who the hell are you anyway?

You love 1st Edition? Aren't you dead yet.

You love 5th Edition? Get the hell out of here and buy some more 4th Edition until we are ready.

Nuff said.

This has been kicked around before but I will put it out again. Gamemastery Map Cards would be a nice edition to the recent maps created by Paizo.

Take 5-6 maps that are deemed most universal in utility and create cards that alter those landscapes. By putting the card on the map you change the features of the maps. Future maps could have markers where these cards can be placed. Need a secret door that wasn't there before, presto. Want to add merchants to the scene, presto. Want to reveal a recently sprung trap, presto. Want to make the ship appear to be damaged, presto, want to make a door appear smashed open, presto. The idea is to reveal a new map within the Map Pack or Flipmat to give it more versatility and re-playability. Make the maps come alive and with future maps try to keep the cards in minds when designing maps. Turn a haunted house into real haunts that interact with the map.

Most importantly, make it two sided cards for twice the utility.

This PaizoCon I will not be participating in the lottery so my schedule is fairly open for plans the entire weekend, except the preview dinner on Saturday. I am open to all suggestions for games. My preference would be to create a very involved Pathfinder Rules game that is well built up before the Convention. This is open to anyone that would like to create something special that no one will soon forget.

Free homebrews at my table. My email is zuxius11@yahoo.com.

Everyone and anyone invited to participate. Paizo, 3rd Party, Paizo Fans, Free Spirits, Freelancers all welcome.

Think Grand Convocation mixed with a board game and then blindfolded. Get creative with Plot Twist Cards and just about anything else.

Unfortunately, there are no rooms left on site that can host such a party. I prefer to keep the Homebrew party in the building the convention takes place in (for many reasons) but those rooms are reserved by Paizo for July 5th. Thursday? Really?

C'est la vie I guess.

I have found the lottery for the past three years to be the worst part of the convention. I refuse to be upset about not getting into a game this year, so I plan to make it easy on myself. I will be buying tickets but ignoring the lottery. Good luck to everyone else.

Did I already "prepay" for the Tome of Horrors Complete and the Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Miniature Set? The price seems out of whack at $60.90

We are about to start in the publishing process of our second anthology which includes Paizo Intellectual Property from your Pathfinder Campaign Setting. We understand this book cannot be sold.

The question pertains to a publisher that wishes to "publish" the book and put their logo on it.

As long as it is for free, are there any problems with this?

They just want to found a publishing company and use this book as a demonstration of the work they will do in later non-Paizo related works.

Ted

His name is Purvis Wade.

A former Pathfinder turned secret agent for Taldor’s Lion’s Blades faction, Wade is sent on dangerous, covert missions throughout the Inner Sea to protect the interests of the Empire.

His latest mission finds Wade in diabolical Cheliax on the trail of an assassin. What he discovers there leads him on a quest to stop a madman from using a powerful Osirion artifact to lay waste to the gilded city of Oppara.

Whether he’s hunting down dangerous necromancers or corrupt enemies of the Taldan crown, adventure, intrigue, and beautiful woman are all in a day’s work for Purvis Wade, and the secret agent is always a professional.

Come read Robert Gresham's The Spy Who Loved Thee. Two short stories and the serial From Oppara with Love.

Hello fellow Pathfinder Fans.

Today we begin work on our second Anthology. If you didn't know, our first Anthology is now available for download here.

The work I did on this book is rather revolutionary. Not because I participated in it but rather how it evolved into the book you see. The point of the book is to rally everyone to write fiction as a community. Not just a fan community but a work that is something you will be proud to be included in.

For a longtime now we have been editing and writing over at Pathfinder Chronicler but now we are truly showing what our concept can accomplish.

It wasn't me who came up with all this but others in the community that bounced ideas that I decided to implement. Never did I imagine I would be editing to this extreme when I founded the site. However, who would do this if not I? I believe that all of you, gamers, gamemasters, contributors and writers deserve a shot at being published. You also deserve to stand side by side with the best writers in the business if you work hard enough to be, all you can be. Before Pathfinder Chronicler, there was no outlet to show your work in a professional manner.

You can be in the next Anthology. If you get into the Top 10 in our contest, you are in. If you fail to make it to the Top 10, you can still join our site and work with our community and get into the Anthology. Even if you just join our site and work with our community until your story is in "its best possible state," you will be in the Anthology. I challenge all of you to tell me you're unpublished by this time next year.

We are a community of writers and we refuse no one. All I ask is that you bring your talents to the table, your ideas, your incredibly valuable point of view. Become a better editor and reap the reward of becoming a better writer in return.

I am ready to start the Con.

Hmm, where did everybody go?

Aaah Crap!

Just arrived in Room 238 and plan to head out to Saffron Grille for a late after traffic dinner.

It seems when I try to download this for ePub, it fails.

In case I miss you at the Convention, my apologies in advance. I was having too much fun to notice you.

Yaaaaaaaahooooooo!

I will be passing these books out during registration at PaizoCon 2011. This is an 18 author anthology centered in Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting. This is not a Paizo product but one that comes from the hearts and minds of the community. Stories are written by some authors you may know, such as Clinton Boomer, Neil Spicer, Todd Stewart, Eric Norton and many more. Cover art by Eva Widermann. Pathfinder Chronicler Anthology

There are 350 copies for the convention and they are free. Donations are appreciated however.

Limited games lottery is up but when do the Panel Events show up?

Curious as to what I am voting my time against. Perhaps there are some panel events that I don't want to miss?

This picture is a little incomplete.

Will there be any panel events? Fiction Workshop?

I am trying to create an ePub and could use advice. It seems this is a very glichy process that convertors can't do justice to. Every conversion is misaligned with abnormal spacing and font sizes.

Is there a program that allows editing that is both quick and accurate. I don't mind working within ePub formats to get this. I am on a PC too.

I would like to take my garbagey conversion and fix it. Using Sigil now but it just isn't taking the best approach. I get the feeling ePubs are more akin to html.

The WYSIWYG creates way too much garbagey code. Harder not smarter.

I will be bringing this game again and will be looking to play it this time.

I really would love to attend an event that shows Gunslingers put up against baddies. Everyone is talking about how broken the Gunslinger is but no one is considering the fun factor that it unlocks.

Could we please have a Gunslinger Event at PaizoCon?

I will be giving out (for free) our PFC Anthology Volume One at PaizoCon 2011. This book includes stories from 18 authors from the Paizo Community featuring all areas of Golarion. The book is 226 pages in length with a foreword by James Sutter. There will only be some 350 copies to be handed out on Friday morning of the convention. So don't miss yours!

We will be accepting donations at the convention and if you feel so kind you may send donations through PayPal using my email:

theodorethompson69@yahoo.com

This undertaking cost me in more ways than one and I sure would apprecaite the restitution. If I can somehow recoup costs each year this would be a PaizoCon extra that would sit nicely by your Wayfinders.

Hello everyone.

I am excited to announce our next Pathfinder Fiction Contest. It will be taking place June 10th until July 20th. For Round 1 we will be accepting stories that will be 1500 words. Round 2 will begin August 1st with twenty finalists proposing 4500 word stories. Like last year, the top 5 will go on to be chosen blindly by James Sutter. The prize, by now, should be obvious. Winners will get their stories in the 2012 Pathfinder Chronicler Anthology! 1st place get's the front of the book.

We at Pathfinder Chronicler have created an Anthology of our best works. Here’s our cover.

It would seem something is wrong with the Paizo Blog Older Posts. There are multiple blanks screens when I hit older posts. Are they toast? Would like to know. Community Use inquiring minds want to know.

Not sure how to acquire this. Seen it on Wayfinder. Seen it on the PathfinderWiki. Seen it on the PSRD.

Whose distributing it?

Back in 2009 I posed a question to Lisa Stevens that I feel is a looming problem in RPG Tabletop. For that question, watch the following video here at 4:34 Seconds into panel.

At NeonCon 2010 I met up with an old friend that loves to play the game and is now a teacher in the Las Vegas Public school system. She founded an RPG High School Club which she wholeheartedly supports and attends.

She sometimes gets libaray funding to buy books but I feel this is insufficient for the support she really needs. RPG companies can really make a difference on this front and I think a teacher support program should be implemented quickly in order to educate and grassroot future gamers in the hobby.

If there is anyone at Paizo that is interested, I am game to help crack the missing gamer child equation.

I would very much like to see an Pathfinder Core Rules Testing Center here. I would like to come online and take a test to see just how well I understand the rules. Can this be done??? In the very least I would like printable sheets for the tests. Variations of the test would also be apprecaited.

I would also buy such a product that taught the ins and outs of the rules with tests at the end.

No joke!

I might be having a job interview in Seattle within the next few months. Does anyone want to have me for a visit while I get gainfully employed. 2-3 days.

This book was read to me in first grade. I look forward to the part about the Dragon. I remember thinking how cool it would be if I...

Anyway, this film and Tron are on my holiday film "to do" list.

Serious jump in quality. This is a good time to jump on the map pack bandwagon. Now they are durable and can be written on like the flip maps.

Aha, so this is why the critics bombed Skyline. Who would want to see a film about an alien battle in Los Angleles that already took place in Skyline?

I know, deep six Skyline so no one sees it and then push Battle: Los Angeles as being the real deal. I wouldn't be surprised that I don't see a Skyline DVD until well after this film opens.

Take the d20 challenge and roll up a story!

So what are you waiting for?

GET SOME!

Just curious.

I am curious as to what level everyone would give these guys. I would assume something high but not sure as to "how high." 12th? 19th? 35th?

Holy maps!

Where to start?

Jodi? Satisfy this guy! He's getting out of control.

I regret to say I have arrived home without my edited story from both Chris and James. The story may have been misplaced in the Evergreen Room or picked up by someone by accident there or elsewhere. I have called the hotel and they said they would call back if they found them. They have not called back.

If anyone picked up two papers with red writing all over them, please contact me here.

Thank you all for adding your itsy bit of magic to the evening. Enjoy PaizoCon 2010!

I am here and in Room 248! Drinkin' Beer ;)

I just thought I would post that.

Hahahah.

A stupid exercise in film school try outs. The idea is so bad, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness comes to mind. Quality is straight to video without a retake.

A trio of good actors and some others that held interest, but nothing one would want their name associated with. Hard to believe the voice talent of Beowulf was thrown in this pit of hell. Cuba Gooding Jr. knows his weak points and shares them with anyone foolish enough to watch.

Terrible terrible film. The alien looking Angel was the only cool factor, and it didn't get any play. What a crock!

Ok Ashton, I will be getting beer themes together in the next few days. Looks like you have a lot to work with. Would you prefer something non-Golarion specific?

I will have to figure out a way to display all of them. Perhaps one of those cheapy chinese book shelves.

I can fix this Kate!

Saw this film, recommended.

The Dragons are a bit fruity, but the main Dragon of the show reminded me of my black pet cat, which is a good thing.

I saw this film with my 8 year old daughter. She looked like she was freezing in the threatre, but she was actually shivering with nervousness and fear.

She's a bit of a fraidy cat. So don't let that scare you from taking your own kids.

Is there a place to find this? Or is my group right in saying there is nothing yet provided by Paizo?
