So tired of waiting... for everything they are working on. Heck, even Far West is taking forever. They've got all the money they will ever get from me and I was a big fan of their work until this project went vaporware.

If I'm gonna wish I'm gonna wish big.

I want a Millenium Falcon, and a cute twi'lek copilot.

But the cookies are better on the dark side.

Still waiting...

That confused me too. Apparently he was talking about the PDF of Dungeon Crawl Classics.

I was, sorry. I was just excited that one of my games I ordered forever ago is actually shipping and was hoping that maybe the luck would rub off on this product too.

Woot! And Goodman shipped the PDF for preorders last night! Now really hope this ships.

Bump...any further info?

I didn't see anything on their FB page or Adamants home site.

Gareth posted yesterday that it is one of the scheduled releases for April.

Link to Facebook announcement.

Ooh, and if it releases this month with Far West,m, as well as DCC RPG, I'll have a lot of reading to do. Let's hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed.

Well hopefully the fat lady is tied up somewhere and we'll eventually see it. I've been burned a few times already, but we'll just have to wait and see if this is one of them.

I have a lot of respect for companies who don't give release dates, it's smart business, and prevents some of the backlash that's happened here. If there had been no release date or pushing back of release dates there would be less grief in this forum I think.

Late March-Early April according to Adamant's FaceBook page (22 hrs ago at this point) :)

I never found your reference so don't know if they pulled it or what, but not on FB now. One would think we'd hear more info if it was coming out this month or next.

I liked it. Hope he answers as it would be nice to hear something and I backed FW.

I have discovered the best post apoc theme ever!!!! You can read it here.

You know, you guys should have been around before TSR went mainstream. You were lucky to get a product in the year it was announced and more often than not it just showed up without any announcement that it was going to be released when it finally released. And they almost never talked to anyone from what I remember so intermittent comments from the company is good in my book.

Woot! Got the email that this is full steam ahead. Given the success of Far West kickstart I'm wondering if doing one for this would help get writers so you're not over whelmed with having to finish the writing yourself? Not to mention you could get even more cool art to put in it and maybe go full color. Hint, hint!

I for one have always liked what they've done and am willing to wait as long as we're kept updated.

Nothing yet and hopefully it hasn't got lost amidst all the hype for Far West.

One could do a modified version of True Sorcery for the spell system.

I'm voting first one also because of the feel it gives. Second would be good if it was done PF WAR style with them in the middle of a battle with some type of monster in ruins. I agree that without more setting the second one lacks anything which portrays feeling of destruction and despair you'd expect from post-apoc.

I'm going to shoot myself in the foot on this, but I believe the correct price is 29.95. 19.95 is the PDF price.

If you build it, they will come.

Not very many if you can't remember his name ;-)

I think he got me with a, what's it called spell, you know the one that makes you forget things? :-p

We have 18 icons so for in Pathfinder but, outside of what's his name on the cover of the Gamemastery Guide, how many iconic villains are there now?

Love the race and can't wait to see more of the setting.

I know, but I ain't tellin'. :D

All I will say is that it's awesome. Easily one of the most innovative things we've ever done. Massive props to Jason and Sean and Sarah and everyone else working on it. I can't wait to begin spreading the word on The Secret Project.

Hyrum.

Ack!!! You taunt us! May a goblin eat your best boxers or something like that! Now I really want to know. Any time frame as to when we might learn this Secret?

So I saw that Jason posted that he's made a lot of progress on "The Project". Any thoughts on what it might be?

Limited Ed. Goblin Faction shirts would be awesome too.

Looks like I get it for my birthday.

I'll be happy if it's still on target for mid Dec.

I just want previews!!!

Please.

It seemed Eberron had a lot more ways to go to pieces than Golarion does. Perhaps it would be better to use the term alternate realities of Golarion. In this way you can create a group that could "come up" with a virtual pleothra of scenarios.

Well the point of the wiki would be to give ideas on how it came about and perhaps there will be some new ideas not tied to current cannon. I see current story elements as nothing more than starting points that are already worked in to the history that could be used, but there's nothing written in stone that says we have to use that material.

While I'm at it I've been wondering if a wiki is the right thing to do? Would it be better to do a wiki or perhaps start a group, perhaps on Yahoo or Google? My thoughts being that a group could offer more opportunity for input and provide a way for players to find each other interested in the genre of Post Apoc. Thoughts?

This might sound like a copout, but I think it would be best to leave that as part of the mystery. We still don't know what happened with Aroden so knowing everything about how the "end" came about seems like something that should have a few holes in it. Plus the Tyrant has a lot of time to think things over and come up with a really good plan.

The Whispering Tyrant breaks free and in an attempt to defeat several gods at once destroys the Starstone, causing a magical backlash which devestates life all over Golarion. The destruction also rips the World Wound open further as well as freeing the Tarrasque, who unhindered by the absence of heroes devestates many of the remaining cities untouched by the Whispering Tyrants destruction.

Meepo, I realize I made a mistake in that my distinction is that Golarion at present is way past the event, and thus it was more a cataclysm in that a social society has continued. Post-apoc setings leave that aspect in question since everything is recent. The PCs have no idea if anything they remember will be around in say five or ten years, or themselves for that matter. PCs in Golarion know there are societies which exist and have no reason to doubt they won't any time soon.

All the nations going to war wouldn't really bring on a Post-apoc event. Something related to the world wound or the whispering tyrant could. I have a few ideas cooking that once I have time to write them all out will share and no I'm not FRing the setting. And Meepo I still think cataclysm since several Azlanti survived and rebuilt their culture to some extent.

Thanks Vic!

There's a Gamma World conversion discussed in this sub-forum as well as in Homebrew. I'd post the links but am on my phone right now.

I thought Golarion was post-apocalyptic already.

Not post-apoc as much as post-cataclysmic. If it was set right after the world wound it might seem post-apoc in certain places and from the fiction the world wound definitely feels that way, but the rest of the world is pretty much the same as it was before. While cataclysmic events might lead to post-apoc, they tend to just readjust the world to some degree allowing the strong to survive and etc, but if civilization exists it tends to resume as usual after a minor hiccup. Post-apoc on the other hand pretty much tends to give the feeling that things may not end well for civilization or at least civilization as it was when the event took place, meaning intelligent life tends to revert to pre-civilization standards such as the stone age or dark ages. Cataclysmic events also tend to only affect a given region while post-apoc effects the whole world.

None specific...but I like P-A, even in Fantasy. What kind of apocalypse are you thinking about? Mhar (or whatever that dude in the mountain in RotRL was named) or something else?

You never know, my players might fail to stop Karzoug (or, worse, wake up that cat)...then the real fun can start.

I was thinking the Wiki could provide several possible scenarios that did or may have occurred.

Thanks Lil, that's what I figured but decided to ask anyway. I'll drop Vic a line concerning it later. In the mean time anyone have any thought on the subject.

So I was wondering if Pazio would have a problem with a Fan made Wiki designed and aimed to provide story content for a Post-Apoc Golarion? Would that violate the license since it would be altering the setting or would it be acceptable since it would be a fan site with a theme? Inquiring minds would like to know?

Is Cubicle distributing this for Adamant or have I missed something?

<crosses fingers>

Wondering if we'll see a preview any time soon given the pending finalization of this next month?

</crosses fingers>

Nice, thanks for the update!

I'm waiting for the first fan made mini movie to pop up after all this talk. I don't care if it's a cartoon or live action, I just know someone is out there wheels turning. Heck I'd settle for a short teaser like what has been done for the Wheel of Time books.

If the Intro Set were to have its own setting I think it would be best to focus on one of the least known areas of Golarion with enough detail to serve as an intro to new players, but as a setting source for experienced players. That would give good incentive for those who already have the game to buy it also.

One could even focus on Absolom and the Pathfinders as a whole if you don't want to go that route, including everything that new and old players would need to start off within the society as a whole. Maybe model it so that the box set serves as an intro to both the game and society in a way that presents the Pathfinder academy in Absolom like a more mature or at least later years Hogwarts. A few adventures within the building itself as well as the outlying city.

Also as an after thought, the box set should then have references to the world as a whole pointing new players not only to the core rules, but the campaign setting.

A patronage project would be nice. Though I see no reason why Paizo wouldn't eventually make a Sword & Planet RPG in line with Burrough's Mars stories and pulp era Sci-Fantasy other than they believe they have enough on their plate. Several on staff have expressed interest. LPJ has a nice project in design that looks to play homage to Spelljammer I'm interested in.

Thanks dm4hire. Really wish it were self contained, but I'll get it anyway.

Same here, my book bag is getting heavy as it is with all the stuff I have for Pathfinder in it. I appreciate the quality and work Paizo puts into their products, but the corebooks being able to double as doorstops really puts the old back out of sorts. I keep hoping for pocket versions. I may have to break down and get a tablet or ebook device.

The nice thing is that we have less than two months now and the book (PDF at least) will be available, as long as nothing holds it up. Hope the previews show up soon.

I still want a pocket edition. I mean if Mongoose, Craftygames, and Green Ronin can do it with their systems, and some of them are pretty huge (looking at Spycraft specifically) then I don't see why Pathfinder couldn't be shrunk down as well.

Love it! Can't wait to read more.

Wow, go off line for a couple of days and you miss things. Glad to hear this is finally a go.

You'll need the PF Core book at least. Stand alone would be nice, but would go against the PF license.

Thanks for the update.

and nobody suggested jump?

Edit: Jump = Acrobatics, sorry, my expressions are sometimes stuck a bit at 3.5

I was thinking about that, but it seemed a little to predictable. Perception might be a good one, but Acrobatics would definitely be a solid choice.

I've been thinking of creating a witch for my home campaign to serve as either an NPC or a fill in character when people are gone. I want to model her after the Aboriginals of Australia, including either a kangaroo or wallaby for her familiar. I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best set up for the familiar. Any ideas on the bonuses either would offer? Thanks.
