Now available! And make sure to check out the first sneak peek preview, Barb! If you like what you see in the promos, then take a look at our Kickstarter for the full book. Only 5 days to go, and we're 96% funded!
Hey guys, we've got a Kickstarter going, which I've linked to from a different board here at Paizo already, because it's not a PFRPG-compatible product. BUT! If that project gets to $2000 before midnight tonight (April 8), everyone that backs it (those that already have, and those that will in the future) gets one of our Pathfinder-compatible PDFs for FREE! So, if you want a FREE PFRPG-compatible PDF from 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming, click the link to the other board and see if our Kickstarter is something you might want to back.
It's been a busy week for us at 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming, and it's only Monday! Check out our latest addition to the Player's Options line for PFRPG - Player's Options: Halflings! It's available now at DriveThruRPG and should be up here at Paizo in the next day or so!
Free preview now available! We have a Kickstarter campaign going to help us finish off the book, with one of the rewards being a limited edition hardcover of the book. We hit 38% funded in just our first weekend of the campaign, too!

We at 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming know that many of you have been waiting a long time – months, in fact – for several of our products. We are behind on releasing numerous print products that should have been out already, including The Apothecary’s Handbook, Tyranny & Manipulation, Paths of Power 2, Deus ex Historica, Exploding Aces, and The GOLD Guide to Competitive Gaming. I’m not going to go into the specifics of why we are behind, mostly because it has been covered before, but I will say that we vastly overestimated our ability to get print products out in the time we originally set for them. This is partially due to the fact that we are a two-person outfit, not counting freelancers, and one of those two also holds a full-time day job. Rest assured, however, that we fully intend to see that each and every promised title is released in 2012. We currently have only one title we had already scheduled for 2012 (Fae Ways), and we are not going to schedule any more releases until the previously promised titles are finished and all of them are released. Some of you may have already pre-ordered a few of these titles and we certainly understand your frustrations at not yet receiving them. If you have pre-ordered and feel you have waited too long, please contact whomever you pre-ordered through and cancel your order and ask for a refund of your money. We won’t blame you if you do. We do hope that when the title is finally released in 2012 that you will return to purchase it. I can tell you that most of the previously announced titles are nearly complete. Many are only waiting on editing and layout. One is still waiting on art, but the art order is under way. These books WILL be completed. That is our goal in 2012. We thank you for your continued support. Happy New Year,
4 Winds Fantasy Gaming New Year's Sale! From Monday December 26 to Sunday January 1, save 30% on select products!
4 Winds Fantasy Gaming has released their second product in the PDF line of Random Acts of... products. It is currently available at DriveThruRPG, and should be available here at Paizo soon! Random Acts of... Old West Violence, second in the line, presents the GM with 100 randomly generated acts of violence suitable for a variety of Old West-themed RPGs. In no case are stats for any NPCs given - indeed no names are even given - and no weapon or damage stats are included. This allows a GM to use the Random Acts of... Old West Violence with many different game systems. Future installments of the series will be designed for super hero, sci-fi, and other genres. And look for the first release in the line, Random Acts of... Violence, available now!
Our annual Cyber Monday sale is in full swing here at Paizo.com! All of our PDFs and some of our print products are 30% off for today only! Don't miss out!
Player’s Options: Aasimars, Tieflings, and Elemental Templates is now available at DriveThruRPG and will hopefully be available here at Paizo tomorrow! Have you ever wanted to play an aasimar, tiefling or elemental-kin, but you also wanted to play a halfling or an elf? Or maybe you've just always wondered why, if outsiders regularly mate with humans to produce aasimars, tieflings and elemental-kin, why don't they do the same with dwarves, gnomes or even minotaurs? The answers to those questions are, you can and they do! Player’s Options: Aasimars, Tieflings, and Elemental Templates turns each breed into a template that can be easily applied to any humanoid or monstrous humanoid race, allowing players to create halfling aasimar, half-orc tieflings, or djinni-kin minotaurs. Each of the three types is further broken down into multiple templates, depending on the exact lineage of the character, giving players a total of eighteen new options to customize their characters!
Now available for pre-order! CJ Ruby's Exploding Aces is a skill based role-playing system meant to simulate action, horror and sci-fi films. The rules allow characters to perform extraordinary feats using a unique core system that uses standard playing cards instead of dice to resolve actions. Their Force-of-Will and some Twists will help them overcome the story's complications and their own Liabilities. Along the way the character's Reputations will grow as they accumulate their personal Virtues and Vices. The Director (or Gamemaster) will guide the players by creating and revealing the story.
Robert's 42nd Birthday Sale! As we well know, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything, so in honor of 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming co-founder Robert Thomson's 42nd birthday, all 4WFG PDFs (and PDFs only) will be 42% off for 4 short days, Thursday September 29 through Sunday October 2!
Random Acts of... Violence, the first in our new Random Acts of... line is now available at DriveThruRPG and Your Games Now for only $1.99! It should hopefully be available here at Paizo soon as well! A dart flies across the inn's common room and hits a PC in the face... Random Acts of...Violence, first in our new line of PDF products, presents a GM with 100 different randomly generated acts of violence, from randomly hurled mugs in a tavern to the aftermath of a murder in an alleyway. In no case are stats for any NPCs given - no names are even given - and no weapon, spell or damage stats are included. This allows a GM to use the Random Acts of...Violence with many different game systems. A GM can pick one of the acts from the list, usually picking one that will work best for the current situation, or she can roll d100 (d%) to randomly generate a true random act. Entire random encounters can be created by using the random acts table! The Random Acts of... line is currently geared for the fantasy genre. Future installments of the series will be designed for super hero, sci-fi, and other genres.
Phantasia Zoologica Volume I: Cats, Dogs & Horses is now available in PDF format at DriveThruRPG and Your Games Now, and should be available here at Paizo in the next day or so! A print edition will follow in a few weeks. This product replaces and expands upon Phantasia Zoologica I: Dogs, which was released last year. We are working on a way to try to get PDFs of this new product to folks who purchased the old one. Hopefully we can get that to work! Cats and Dogs and Horses, Oh My! When faced with the wide assortment of magical and wondrous creatures fantasy settings present, it's easy to forget about the animals so similar to the ones we know in real life. The mundane critters we know so well seemingly have no role to play in a game full of the beasts of dreams of nightmares. But how far can your adventuring party get without horses? Phantasia Zoologica takes a fresh look at real-world animal species for inclusion in your fantasy game. This first volume explores cats, dogs, and horses - mundane and fantastic alike. Among the dozens of entries, you'll find everything from golden retrievers and Clydesdales, to orcish wolf-dogs and scimitar cats, to magical maneki neko and horrific zombie steeds. If having such amazing creatures wasn't enough, you can outfit them from the gear and equipment also included in this book. Whether you're seeking new creatures for the party to encounter, want a special mount, familiar, or animal companion for your character, or just want a cool pet to add to a character's background or development, Phantasia Zoologica has what you're looking for!
My last article at Kobold Quarterly went up a few days ago: Holy Women, Demon Fighters. It has the demon fighter archetype for the APG witch class, based on a Cherokee legend. Enjoy!
While not exclusively a PFRPG-compatible product, our upcoming line of PDFs will be system neutral, and thus compatible with any number of systems, including PFRPG. Releasing early next month is the first in a new line of short PDF products called Random Acts of... The first product will be Random Acts of Violence. Each product in the line will have 100 different one- to three-sentence story bites that can be used to give flavor to scenes and settings or be used as adventure seeds for further adventures. Random Acts of... is system neutral, but the initial release will be for the fantasy genre. Future releases will include Random Acts of Kindness, Random Acts of Deception, Random Acts of Horror, Random Acts of Justice, Random Acts of the Gods, Random Acts of Humor, and Random Acts of Love & Passion. The default genre will remain fantasy, but we also plan releases for other genres, such as Random Acts of Super Violence (comic book/supers), Random Acts of Future Violence (sci-fi), etc. As there are exactly 100 random acts in each release, a GM can easily roll d100 to randomly generate an adventure seed or scene/setting detail. No game stats are included in order to keep the acts system neutral, and thus of use in many different RPGs. Each release in the line will sell for $1.99, and will be available at Paizo.com, DriveThruRPG/RPGNow and Your Games Now. Here are a few samples from the first release, Random Acts of Violence: 39. After a night on the town, the PCs return to their inn where one finds a severed finger nailed to the door to their room. 40. As the PCs walk down a street, a man comes crashing through a door into the street, obviously thrown through the door by the large half-orc inside the building. 41. As the PCs are fording a river they notice a body lodged against some rocks. Investigating, they discover the body has a slit throat and clearly did not die from drowning. 42. Passing through a village square, the PCs see a peasant woman run screaming from a well. At the bottom of the well is a dead body. 43. While the PCs are shopping in a general store, several thugs armed with clubs and crossbows burst in, demanding all the coins. 44. Walking down a street at night, the PCs are surprised by a black-clad man leaping from an alley and smashing one PC in the chest with a 2x4. 45. The local lord is giving a speech in the town square when someone shoots him with a crossbow. 46. The PCs find a body in an alleyway. The person is alive – barely – buy has had the flesh flayed from both arms and legs. We have also released an open call for folks that may be interested in contributing to future installments of this line of products. For details on the open call, check our messageboards.
Ryan Costello, Jr., contributor on Luven Lightfinger's Gear & Treasure Shop and designer/author on Strategists & Tacticians, will be signing copies of both books in the Studio 2 Publishing booth (booth #605) today from 4-6pm and again tomorrow at the same time.

Two days ago, we asked a question on our Facebook page about how people first heard about 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming, and we've had some pretty darn good response (probably close to 20% of our total "likes" of the page responded). While the majority chose "Some Other Way" (with most then commenting to tell us how they heard about us), the specific way that received the most votes was "Paizo Blog or Store". So, to everyone at Paizo who supports us - and ALL the 3PP - Thank you, thank you, thank you for promoting us in the blog and providing us a place to sell our products. Robert

You can see a sneak peek at the nearly-finished cover for Phantasia Zoologica Vol I: Cats, Dogs & Horses on our Facebook page. The book is by award-winning author of fantasy fiction and animal non-fiction books, MH Bonham. Cover art, as usual, by the very talented Kristen M. Collins. NOTE - you do not have to have a Facebook account in order to view anything on your page.
If you've followed some of the threads on here, you may be aware that I've spent the last 3 months searching for a new and inexpensive source for print copies. This was because we recently experienced an explosion in demand for our print books that took us, quite frankly, by surprise. I know many of you are waiting on copies of Inkantations or Tome of Monsters ordered through Paizo. Well, those books will be coming soon. We have recently worked out a deal (which I can't mention specifics on yet) that will allow us to easily supply the print copies demanded, and in a timely manner (for future releases, at least). So, long story short, print copies will be arriving relatively soon, at Paizo and at your FLGS.
At long last, the PDF version of Tome of Monsters is now available at DriveThruRPG and Your Games Now, and will be available soon here at Paizo as well! The print edition is still coming, and we apologize for the delay.
4 Winds Fantasy Gaming has updated the PDF of The Book of Divine Magic. The new PDF was created from the print-ready files for the 2nd Printing (May 2011) of the book. It includes some minor changes to the interior layout, incorporates all known errata directly into the text, and includes some artwork and tables that did not make it into the 1st printing. If you downloaded the product from Paizo or from DriveThruRPG, you should soon be able to download the updated file at no extra cost.
4 Winds Fantasy Gaming has updated The Book of Arcane Magic PDF. This new PDF was created from the print-ready file of the 2nd printing of the book (which is going to the printer tomorrow) and updates the interior layout to match the layout of books we published after BoAM. It also incorporates some art that never made it into the 1st printing and incorporates all known errata directly into the text. Overall, the book looks better and is easier to read. The file for the new PDF has been uploaded to DriveThruRPG already, but due to some issues with the Paizo uploader, we've not yet been able to update the product here. It will be updated here as soon as possible, though. If you purchased The Book of Arcane Magic PDF at either DriveThruRPG or here at Paizo.com, you should get a message that a new version of the file is available soon and will be able to download it at no extra cost.
