Story by F. Wesley Schneider
Art by Ediano Silva

An exciting new Pathfinder adventure begins! The Pathfinder heroes receive a desperate plea to unmask a killer stalking the chaos-gripped city of Korvosa. A new queen has ascended the city's Crimson Throne, and now deadly armored Hellknights and Gray Maidens clash in the streets. With the help of a cagey adventuring detective, the heroes race down the perilous trail of a brutal murderer-only to realize that the next target might be one of their own! Dare the magic and monsters of gothic Korvosa in the first sword-swinging issue from Pathfinder co-creator F. Wesley Schneider (Pathfinder Hollow Mountain, Bloodbound), with art from Ediano Silva (Grimm Fairy Tales, Hellchild: The Unholy). Contains pull-out poster map and official Pathfinder RPG bonus encounter!

Great story, questionable art

Majuba — Jun 22, 2017, 09:13 pm

I thouroughly enjoyed reading through Runescars #1 - a nice callback to the era of Curse of the Crimson Throne, good dialogue and interactions, and a delightful 'monster' appearance. Even the cliffhanger was better than the usual.

But I have to say the art is lacking - characters are only marginally recognizable, and some facial expressions are purely disappointing. Hopefully it will improve in the next issues.

Cagey detective? Well, using deductive reasoning we can only assume...
Amari is back! Let all evildoers fear Detective Amari and Doctor's Hrask's raging investigative skillz!

I'm super excited for this issue! And not just because I'm writing Issue 2. :)

The back of this lists a whole bunch of variant covers which aren't available on Paizo.com. (Incentives, by the look).

Any chance you have any of them for sale?

Rick? (I presume).

Will you get any of the incentive variant covers? I like to grab them the odd times they do happen.

Rick told me that Runescars #1 is a special case and we are getting all of the variants except 2, and they should be added to the system soon.
