No one should pass up downloading any and all issues of Wayfinder, ever. Devout fans of the Pathfinder system and its accompanying game world work hard to produce a slick, professional product chock full of excellent writing: fiction, poetry, NPCs, monsters, scenarios; you name it, it's in here.
Some highlights from an overall outstanding issue:
Neil Spicer offers up a pair of NPCs: a master smith and the sinspawn that plagues him. In a related article, GMs get a mini-adventure featuring the two.
"Vikram's Jernul" A tale by Adam Daigle, in which a mighty barbarian struggles against a tenacious foe: illiteracy.
"Realm Building" Blake Davis, Charles Davis, and Thomas LeBlanc provide new and expanded rules for for use with the kingdom building guide in the Kingmaker Adventure Path.
In "All in the Cards," Liz Courts shows us a unique way to generate character stats by using Paizo's Harrow Deck.
The Bestiary provides eleven new monsters to harry your PCs as they adventure in Belkzen, Ustilav, and Varisia, including offerings from two of 2012's RPG Superstar Top 4: "Tom Qadim" Phillips and Mike "taig" Welham.
These are just a few of the great pieces in issue #5. I'm always just a little more excited for the odd numbered issues, as their release coincides with Paizocon, which means printed copies. There's something satisfying about getting your hands on one at the 'con, and passing the time on the flight home reading some good fiction. Want a print copy but can't attend Paizocon? A monetary contribution to Wayfinder towards publication costs gets you a copy. Are you a third party publisher of Pathfinder compatible products? Take out an ad in Wayfinder and expand your customer base. Do you have a piece of Pathfinder fiction, an article, or creation to share? Send it in to Wayfinder. If your piece is selected for a print issue, you get a copy.
Wayfinder is just good stuff from good folks. Period.
A great new issue of the best fanzine out there...
This was an all round great issue. I found material that I know I will be using in the campaign I currently GM. And there is some great stuff I am sure my players will want to put to use. I should mention, I am currently running a Greyhawk campaign, which attests to the adaptability of the material.
The fiction is well executed and the art ranges from well done to amazing. Obviously I had a preference for some pieces over others, but that is entirely subjective. All of the writers, mechanics developers, and artists should be proud of their work.
