Some of you may have wondered what happened to former Customer Service Monster Alison McKenzie—she's going to school nearby, but is still working part time for us. Which means we get to set her on some of the odd jobs that always seem to pop up. Like, say, restocking our awesome selection of prepainted Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures singles! Alison has been camped out in our warehouse for a couple of weeks now, opening endless streams of booster boxes, and thanks to her efforts, our "D&D singles bar" is the most stocked that it has ever been! As I write this, we have stock on more than 1000 different D&D minis! (Yes, there really have been THAT many! No wonder my gaming room is crammed to the ceiling!)

Night Below singles and Unhallowed singles are both 100% in stock at the moment, while Deathknell, Underdark, War Drums, and War of the Dragon Queen are each missing only missing one mini! The latest two sets, Dangerous Delves and Legendary Evils currently have the most out-of-stock figures between them—but check back next week after we get our major restock of these sets, and once again put Alison's mini-opening prowess to the test!

The explosion of third-party Pathfinder RPG-compatible products continues! Since we last updated you just a scant two weeks ago, we've seen a dozen new PDFs designed for use with the Pathfinder RPG!

Sean K Reynolds Games has released their first product specifically designed for use with the Pathfinder RPG, Darkness Without Form: Secrets of the Mimic. Mining the talents of RPG Superstar contestants Clinton Boomer and Matt Banach, Sean tells you everything you'd ever want to know about the history of the mimics, the aboleth-symbiote "landwalker suit" that is the progenitor of all mimics, two kinds of humanoid-symbiote mimics, and more than a dozen new mimic abilities.

And Sean isn't the only person dipping a first toe into the Pathfinder RPG field. OtherWorld Creations presents The Shaman, providing rules for creating Shaman characters and interacting, binding, and commanding the spirits that exist everywhere.

Headless Hydra Games continues their Wizard's Path fiction serialized in PDFs that contain new crunch to go along with the stories. Chapter 2—Broken Bones picks up where September's Chapter 1—Sticks and Stones left off.

Rite Publishing has released Feats 101, which, as the name suggests, introduces 101 new feats for the Pathfinder RPG.

Louis Porter Jr. continues his amazing barrage of PFRPG PDFs with Arsenal of Arcane Might, Undefeatable 8: Druids and his Ultimate Spell Deck for Clerics.

Alluria Publishing has continued their Remarkable Races series with the Obitu, the Relluk, the Squole, and the Taddol.

The folks at 0one Games have even published a free Pathfinder RPG Conversion Guide to help Pathfinder RPG GMs run The Skullcrackers, the first volume of their Urban Adventures: The Road to Revolution campaign arc.

This brings the total number of 3rd-party Pathfinder RPG-compatible products available at paizo.com to more than 5 dozen, with more titles coming in nearly every day!

The fantasy roleplaying gamer's appetite for prepainted plastic minis is insatiable! A year or so ago, Reaper heard the pleas of the masses and gave us Legendary Encounters, a line of prepainted plastic miniatures sold as individual non-random figures! Earlier this year, Reaper spun off the line to form a separate company called Asylum Miniatures, which is now expanding the Legendary Encounters line with the same great Reaper quality!

The four newest miniatures in the line are monsters that almost every campaign can get some use out of. The Goblins set gives you three of the little buggers, armed with a mace, bow, and spear respectively. The Bugbear looks ready, willing and able to bash some brains out with a nasty-looking club. The Giant Spider looks particularly toxic with its fluorescent green color. And the Werewolf looks particularly unhappy about the full moon and is eager to make someone pay for its pain!

Check out the full line of prepainted Asylum miniatures and augment your miniatures collection!

There has been a veritable invasion of Cute Old Ones invading paizo.com in recent years. Toy Vault started it with their line of adorable Cthulhu plush. Dreamland Toyworks jumped in with an assortment of My Little Cthulhu figures. And Steve Jackson Games offered up a line of John Kovalic–designed Chibithulhu plush toys. Heck, we even have a Halloween-inspired Chibithulhu in our warehouse! But nothing can be more insidiously evil than the new Mini Chibithulhu Plushes that Steve Jackson has unleashed on the world... and each for less than a 10-spot!

Like their larger brethren, Mini Chibithulhus are cute as a button, and now offer five different roads to madness:

• Black and Silver
• Blue and Gold
• Green and Red
• Purple and Pink
• Red and White

These lovable Cthuloids clock in at an adorable mini-me size of 4 inches, making them super stashable, hidable, or squeezable. Order your 4-inch pile of joy today before they're gone!

Ken Hite is a bit of a madman. There, I said it, and I feel better. If you don't believe me, you should read the books he's written. He makes Nick Logue look like a normal guy. OK, maybe he's not that crazy... but he's close. And Ken puts this disturbing mental acuity to work in the products he publishes under the Atomic Overmind Press moniker. And, for good or ill, these products are now available in print and/or PDF format here at paizo.com.

Aimed squarely at those who are Cthulhu-curious, Cthulhu 101 offers clear, concise answers to common questions like "What is Cthulhu?," "Who is H.P. Lovecraft?," and "What is the Cthulhu Mythos?" It's complete with Top Ten lists of Lovecraftian stories, movies, and other Mythos milieu, as well as overviews of Cthulhu's presence in pop culture.

In The Day After Ragnarok, mighty-thewed barbarians and grim mercenaries roam the desolate plains of Ohio. Giant snakes, and those who worship them, prowl the ruins of St. Louis. Pirates battle the Japanese invaders in the South China Sea. Bold British agents, equipped with experimental bio-technology, thwart the insidious infiltration of Stalin’s humanzees. Sky-raiders strike from hidden bases in the Sahara, deros skulk in South American caverns, and the Texas Rangers fight electrical death worms to save Los Alamos. Kenneth Hite presents a world of savage swords and rocket men, of were-serpents and war-apes, from Australia’s battered Empire to the proud city-state of Chicago. The Day After Ragnarok for HERO 6th Edition and The Day After Ragnarok for Savage Worlds are both for sale here on paizo.com!

WARNING: Paizo Publishing, LLC, paizo.com and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries and beneficiaries cannot be held liable or accountable for any loss of sanity due to the purchase of Ken Hite's books. You have been warned!

Many of you have been waiting for us to get our ducks in a row so we could start talking about PaizoCon 2010. Well, our duck herders have been working overtime, and all the little quackers have finally been counted and taught to stand in nice, even rows. And finally, we are ready to announce that PaizoCon 2010 will be back at the Coast Bellevue Hotel, in Bellevue, Washington, from June 18–20, 2010! I can hardly wait!

For those of you who weren't with us at last year's PaizoCon, you missed one of the coolest gaming conventions that I have ever been a part of in my 25-plus years of attending cons! There were special guests, tons of great panels on everything from designing an adventure to hearing Paizo's secret plans for the future, and gaming until your eyes bled. One of the highlights was the Pathfinder RPG Preview Banquet, where we unveiled the finished Core Rulebook over a nice dinner and topped it off with a hilarious trivia contest. We had so much fun, nobody wanted to leave the banquet hall! We even met Sara Marie, who has since become the latest addition to our Customer Service team!

And this coming June, we'll do it all over again. PaizoCon 2010 will be a bit bigger, as this year we've reserved the hotel's entire convention area for PaizoCon. That caps us at 500 attendees, so don't delay in making your reservation. The Pathfinder RPG Preview Banquet is still limited to 225 people, so tickets for that (which much be purchased separately) will go even faster! This year, the banquet will feature a preview of the Advanced Player's Guide, due for release at Gen Con in August 2010. Our duck herders aren't quite ready to announce the guests of honor or events schedule yet, but we can nevertheless assure you that PaizoCon 2010 will be an experience that you won't want to miss!

Because we're reserving more space for the show, 3-Day Badges have gone up $5—but we've managed to get the Coast Bellevue Hotel to knock the price of rooms down by $20 per night! (You'll find contact information for them on the PaizoCon page.)

So come hang out with the staff of Paizo—and your fellow paizo.com community members—and help us make PaizoCon 2010 even better than last year!

Back when Paizo published Dragon and Dungeon magazines, cartographer Christopher West's Maps of Mystery feature was a beloved part of the Dungeon lineup. So when Chris approached us at Gen Con this past year to show us his new Maps of Mastery idea, we told him he had a winner. Chris wants to provide gamers with high-quality maps that really augment your gaming experience. His first product, Heavy Courier Ship & Offworld Shipping Center, is solidly sci-fi, but Chris says that the next one will appeal to fantasy, sci-fi, and modern players. (Hmm...)

This high-quality, double-sided 22"x34" poster map features a complete starship on one side and a spaceport facility on the other! Designed for use in any science fiction RPG or miniatures game, this folded poster is the premiere offering in Chris's Maps of Mastery line. The starship is ideal for any player character group in need of transportation, while the shipping center on the back makes an excellent base of operations or special encounter location.

Every so often, our adventures bring in elements from beyond the world of Golarion—things that one might describe as alien. Or spacey. Or sci-fi. Well, in this month's Pathfinder Society Scenarios, Paizo's newest editorial staffer—and RPG Superstar finalist—Rob McCreary and Pathfinder Society coordinator Josh Frost each riffed on stories that boldly go where no scenario has gone before!

In Rob's Pathfinder Society Scenario #35: Voice in the Void, mystery strikes again at the problem-plagued Blackros Museum in Absalom and its curator, Nigel Aldain, needs your help. When a famed Osirian tomb raider returns to Absalom and disappears in the museum's basement, Aldain fears the worst. When strange sounds echo from below and several of the curator's night watchmen go missing, he panics and begs the Society to investigate the mystery and save his museum from the darkness that infests it. Voice in the Void is a follow-up scenario to Pathfinder Society Scenario #5: Mists of Mwangi. When played together, the scenarios create a mini story arc in the famed Blackros Museum.

And in Josh's Pathfinder Society Scenario #36: Echoes of the Everwar—Part 1: The Prisoner of Skull Hill, a Chelish outpost deep inside the anarchic orc-controlled Hold of Belkzen has gone silent after strange fires were seen burning in the skies above. You have been sent north to investigate the disappearance and find a lost tomb long rumored to exist beneath the outpost's timber tower. When you arrive and find the place choked with monsters and hideous plant creatures from beyond the stars, your mission of exploration quickly turns to one of survival. The Prisoner of Skull Hill is part 1 of the Echoes of the Everwar series. Parts 1, 2, and 3 can be played in any order and part 4 must be played last. Look for part 2, Pathfinder Society Scenario #42: The Watcher of Ages, in January 2010.

It seems like ages since we last joined our band of misfit adventurers in The Order of the Stick #3: War & XPs. But Roy, Haley, Elan, Durkon, Vaarsuvius, and Belkar are returning to print with a new volume due in December, and we here at paizo.com couldn't be happier. How happy, you ask? How about 20% off on all preordered copies happy? Yep, from now until the end of the day on November 30, you can preorder your own copy of The Order of the Stick #4: Don't Split the Party and get a whopping 20% off the cover price! And your preorder will help us make sure that we have plenty of stock on hand of this hot, hot holiday item.

Divided by the events of War and XPs, our heroes struggle to reunite in this fourth compilation of the popular online comic, The Order of the Stick! With their leader, ah, indisposed, Haley leads the quest to bring him back from the, uh, the place that he is at. (Hey, some people only read the comic in book form, I don't want to spoil it for them.) Meanwhile, her love Elan contends with new threats at sea, including some direct competition for her man! And how will these problems drive one of the Order's own to take an offer they should have refused? Find out in the exciting continuation of the OOTS story, Don't Split the Party!

We also have limited stock of the other Order of the Stick books, with the exception of the sold-out Dungeon Crawling Fools. So make this holiday season an OOTS one!

Everyone that’s played Munchkin from Steve Jackson Games has reveled in thrashing their opponents with artist John Kovalic’s cute and deadly cards and reaping the rewards. But with the new Fairy Dust expansion, you can even be rewarded for being NICE to one another. What has the world come to?

Munchkin: Fairy Dust is a 15-card non-collectible expansion for Munchkin. It introduces the Sparkly Good Fairy and her deck of Fairy Dust cards—extra rewards for munchkins who are willing to help each other. (It’s perfectly munchkinly to be nice... as long as you get something cool for doing it!)

Every card in the set is full-color, with glittery pink and silver Fairy Dust effects. Munchkin Fairy Dust is fun for groups that stick with the core Munchkin set and for groups that play with some or all of the expansions. And at under four bucks, it’s a no-brainer!

Don’t forget to check out all the other expansions for Munchkin, including the upcoming holiday release Waiting for Santa, now available for preorder!

Update! Steve Jackson Games has determined that a production problem exists with both Fairy Dust and Waiting for Santa. Orders placed through paizo.com will not be fulfilled until corrected product is available; SJG has not yet announced a date for the revision of either product.

If you haven't been watching the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series on Cartoon Network, you're missing some really fun Star Wars action! And Galaxy at War, the latest Star Wars Miniatures release from Wizards of the Coast, features 40 characters from the Star Wars saga with a particular focus on military figures, including unique characters with key roles in the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. Each Galaxy at War Booster Pack contains 7 random miniatures to fill out your collection!

But if you prefer to pick and choose your minis, you'll be happy to know that we've opened up enough cases to offer the whole range of Galaxy At War singles for you to pick through! From iconic Jedi such as General Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi General, and Jedi Master Kit Fisto to bad guys such as General Grievous, Scourge of the Jedi and Asajj Ventress, Strike Leader, there are lots of familiar faces. Yet some of the minis that really caught my are ones from the Fringe, like Cad Bane and Hondo Ohnaka. And of course, there are armfuls of new droids and clone troopers galore!

Wars may not make one great, but this set of minis will surely make your Star Wars Roleplaying Game sessions great!

It's been about two weeks since we last covered new Pathfinder RPG-compatible products, and in that time, eight publishers have released a dozen new PDF products for use with what must surely be the world's fastest-growing roleplaying game!

Two companies have jumped into the pool feats first: Skortched Urf' Studios has released Mega-Feats Revisited, a giant collection of more than 250 feats for the Pathfinder RPG, and Louis Porter Jr. Design provides new feats for rangers and paladins, respectively, in Undefeatable 6 and 7. LPJ has also released Horrific Fears, which takes a walk on the dark side of fantasy.

A few other publishers have gotten adventurous: Expeditious Retreat Press offered up Journey into Riddle Canyon, their first 1 on 1 Adventure designed specifically for the Pathfinder RPG—and a print edition is also available for preorder. Dementia Five Publishing House has released The Gift, one of the first standard adventures from a third party publisher; it's set in a world of oriental myth and gothic horror. And you can't beat the price of Sagawork Studios' first offering, Horror at Dagger Rock—it's a FREE adventure to launch their Adventure, Dungeons & Danger line.

Displaying an excellent sense of timing, 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming has released a set of Monster Knowledge Cards to complement our newly released Pathfinder RPG Bestiary—these cards will help you figure out what to tell characters who make knowledge checks on the beasties in the book.

We've already told you about Kobold Quarterly 11 from Open Design, but we wanted to remind you that it's got a new class for use with the PFRPG as well as some words from Pathfinder RPG designer Jason Bulmahn.

Finally, Alluria Publishing has extended their Remarkable Races series with The Muse, The Numistian, and The Oakling.

If you can't find something you like in these new products, you're probably not trying hard enough!

They exist outside of time and space, little pockets of something where nothing should be. Some are created by spells, others by mad archmages or creatures from other planes. But what the heck do these little pockets of reality look like? And what happens when in-game action takes place in one of these little babies? You'll find the answers to these questions in our latest GameMastery Map Pack, Extradimensional Spaces.

Sometimes the best safe house is the one you carry with you! From a spell-erected magnificent mansion to the cloudy refuge of a rope trick, from the inside of a genie’s bottle to a dimensional bolt-hole made of the raw stuff of elements, the prepared adventurer has many possible refuges and escapes. But getting there doesn’t necessarily mean escaping from battles with enemies!

Inside Map Pack: Extradimensional Spaces you’ll find 18 beautiful 5"x 8" map tiles that can be combined to form eight of the most commonly encountered extradimensional spaces, such as Rope Trick, Magnificent Mansion, Genie Bottle, Dimensional Prison, Air Node, Earth Node, Fire Node, and Water Node. Game Masters shouldn’t waste their time drawing a rope trick every time the player characters run away from their enemies. With GameMastery Map Pack: Extradimensional Spaces, you’ll always be ready for a speedy escape or extra-planar ambush!

This month, Dungeons & Dragons 4E is taking a walk on the wild side with Wizards of the Coast's newest rulebook, Primal Power. This must-have book is the latest in a line of player-friendly game supplements offering hundreds of new options for D&D characters, specifically focusing on heroes who draw power from the spirits that preserve and sustain the world. It provides new archetypal builds for barbarians, druids, shamans, and wardens, including new character powers, feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies.

You can take those new options for a spin in the latest 4E adventure, E3: Prince of Undeath. The demon lord Orcus tries to usurp the Raven Queen's power over death using a shard of evil plucked from the depths of the Abyss. Designed for 27th-level characters, this D&D adventure can be run as a stand-alone adventure or as the conclusion of a three-part series of adventures.

Finally, we have a new Dungeon Tiles set: DU5—Sinister Woods. This month, we head outdoors for a set of woodland encounter tiles that will add versatility to your gaming table!

It seems like forever since a new Kobold Quarterly has landed on my desk. Of course, during that forever, Paizo put out two core rulebooks, went to Gen Con, and moved our offices! So you'll have to forgive me if time is acting like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... er... stuff around here. But Kobold Quarterly 11 has arrived to bring me back to the here and now with its awesome array of roleplaying articles—no matter your edition(s) of choice!

If you play the Pathfinder RPG or 3.5, there's a lot for you to add to your game. For a new race, check out the Uvandir. Don't like that rangers get spells? Then you'll love the spell-less ranger class. I was particularly pleased with the "Whack Jacks and Harpy Nets" article, which introduced stats for a load of new and varied equipment for your game. Does the idea of player character torture make your players yawn? Then check out Hank Woon's "Torture and Fear on the Tabletop." Lycanthropes are given a lot more depth in "Howling Werebeasts," and the vampire is given the ecology treatment.

For 4E fans, KQ #11 has a nice article on sanity and mental disorders. Wishes get the full Kobold treatment in "Wishing Well." And there's a bevy of monstrous paragon paths and stats for introducing the Philosopher's Stone into your 4E game!

Finally, a bunch of stuff is either dual-stat'ed or generic fantasy in flavor. Sixteen different game industry professionals, including our own Jason Bulmahn and James Jacobs, give us their thoughts on GMing in "Running across the Screen." Monte Cook talks about the spirit of the rules and having fun in your game. Ken Marable writes about putting a new spin on old magic items. Farragum, the Howling City is given the dual-stat treatment, and Wolfgang Baur adds some depth to the Zobeck campaign world in "Road and River."

Kobold Quarterly 11 is now available in print and PDF editions!

The Pathfinder Society has been part of the very fabric of Golarion from the very beginning. Journals from this group of adventurers and explorers have been featured in the back of every single Pathfinder Adventure Path volume. And of course, our organized play program for the Pathfinder RPG is built around this enigmatic organization. Finally, we have decided to throw a little more light on this shadowy group with the latest Pathfinder Chronicles release, Seekers of Secrets—A Guide to the Pathfinder Society.

The greatest explorers in the world come from the Pathfinder Society, a motley assembly of adventurers, archaeologists, and mystics who brave the lost cities and forgotten dungeons of the world in search of treasure, knowledge, and the thrill of discovery.

This comprehensive 64-page guide to the Pathfinder Society provides an exciting overview of the world-spanning organization, with extensive explorations of its history, customs, bylaws, goals, and machinations. A sample fully mapped Chapter House and fully detailed Pathfinder Society characters make it easy for players and game masters to add the organization to their games, either as patrons, allies, or foils.

The unplumbed secrets of the Society’s vast Grand Lodge in the fabulous city of Absalom stand ready for your campaign, accompanied by a host of new magic items, feats, and spells appropriate for Pathfinder Society characters and fully legal for use in Paizo’s massive Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign!

Learn the secrets of the seekers!

Everybody loves drow. Those moody, underground-dwelling, evil-infused elves with their black skin and silver hair were the main antagonists for our third Pathfinder Adventure Path, Second Darkness. And I have to say that the folks at Q-Workshop really got the feel of Golarion's drow for their Pathfinder Dice Set: Second Darkness. The writing on the dice is eerily reminiscent of the script of the drow, and the dark color of the dice accentuates the silver fills on each facet. Of course, these dice are perfect for your Second Darkness campaigns, but they'll nicely accent any stylish game table where evil is vanquished.

And don't forget to take a look at the first two Pathfinder Dice Sets! The Rise of the Runelords Dice dice feature the very runes of power that made the Runelords kings of Varisia in a time long past. And the Curse of the Crimson Throne Dice are a perfect accompaniment to your adventures around Korvosa as you try to save the city from itself!

The gaming industry used to occasionally hold an annual trade show in the great city of New Orleans. Walking through the French Quarter, it was easy to see why folks like Anne Rice found a spark for their imagination in the Big Easy. I visited some truly unusual places, including a real, non-touristy voodoo shop! Well, the folks at Chaosium were apparently likewise inspired—check out their latest Call of Cthulhu book, Secrets of New Orleans!

New Orleans is a city of many faces. The gaiety of Mardi Gras is juxtaposed with the rampant corruption that earned it the nickname "The City That Care Forgot." The genteel decline of the French Quarter, the location of the city's original settlement, stands in contrast to the rich opulence of the Garden District, where Americans later built their mansions. Voodoo and Catholicism exist side by side. Behind its shining mask the leering visage of the Mythos can be found.

This guidebook includes detailed chapters on the history of New Orleans, the French Quarter and the greater city, and the bayous and coastal regions. A chapter on voodoo includes guidelines for integrating it into Call of Cthulhu. New occupations unique to the Crescent City and surroundings are suggested, and five secret societies are included. An adventure provides a starting point for your explorations of the Secrets of New Orleans.

Science fiction writers love to explore characters from our time who are unwittingly thrust into a different era. How will they deal with the radical change? Are there things about growing up in our world that give them a leg up in the new one? Or situations where the modern experience makes life in the earlier time harder to bear?

Such a juxtaposition occurs in Paizo's latest Planet Stories novel, A. Merrit's The Ship of Ishtar. Explorer John Kenton returns from a lifetime of wanderings and the wreckage of World War I to discover a mysterious block of Babylonian basalt containing a crystal model of an ancient ship—the Ship of Ishtar!

The sultry magic of the fabled ship draws Kenton into its dreamworld, where a strange crew plucked from the ages sails in a lushly imagined mystical seascape. At the fore of the ship is Sharane, beautiful, proud, luxurious priestess instilled with the power of Ishtar, goddess of Love, Wrath, and Vengeance. On the prow broods inhuman Klaneth, infused with the essence of Negal, god of the Underworld. Kenton finds himself in a cosmic struggle of wills between them sixty centuries in the making! Will he claim Sharane and take command of the Ship of Ishtar, or will its mysterious power take command of him?

Abraham Merrit was a giant of early 20th century SF, inspiring the lush language and mystical subjects of authors like H.P. Lovecraft, C.L. Moore, Clark Ashton Smith, and others. In his day he was among the most famous authors in America, with his books selling millions of copies, but today he has been largely forgotten. Planet Stories presents the triumphant return of a true master of fantasy, A. Merritt!

Since our first Pathfinder Adventure Path designed for the Pathfinder RPG is set in the fiendish country of Cheliax, we needed to tackle the subject of how devils work in Golarion. Now, some of you know that if the subject is demons, our go-to guy at Paizo is James Jacobs, but it's a less known fact that his Lawful Evil counterpart for devils is Wes Schneider. Thus, when Pathfinder Chronicles: Book of the Damned Volume 1—Princes of Darkness was placed on the schedule, there was nary a fiend in hell who was going to stand in the way of Wes and this book.. and the outcome is stunning!

From the origin of the gods to the inhabitants of the darkest infernal pit, Princes of Darkness is an unflinching look at the methods, motivations, and goals of Asmodeus, the archdevils, and the entire hierarchy of Hell. Whether you’re planning to storm the gates of Avernus or trade in the exotic and immoral markets of Dis, or you simply want to add a splash of diabolical flavor to a standard campaign, this 64-page book is full of delicious temptations worthy of Faust himself.

You will find tempting content on every page, including a layer-by-layer description of Hell and its rulers; the hierarchy of Hell, and how devils are promoted; the role and duties of each kind of devil, including the infernal dukes and the herald of Asmodeus; guidelines for infernal contracts; devil talismans, true names, and their uses; new Hell-themed spells, magic items, and artifacts; the diabolist prestige class, complete with imp companion; five new kinds of devils, from the blaspheming apostate devil to the relentless levaloch; and even more!

If you like your evil with style, then Book of the Damned Volume 1—Princes of Darkness

Early this year, Paizo's editorial staff met in the royal box overlooking our gladiatorial arena, and like modern-day Caesars, we gave thumbs-up or thumbs-down to each of the hundreds and hundreds of monsters that assembled with the hope of being featured in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary. Most of these decisions were rather easy, but thirty or so monsters inspired hot and furious debate. Everybody had at least one favorite that had to be sacrificed to the demon lord of page count. But a lot of really cool monsters passed the trials to appear in the finished book, and we're all extremely proud of the way it turned out! Art director Sarah Robinson did an amazing job ensuring that every single monster looks beautiful—or horrible, where appropriate—making the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary one of the best-looking books I have ever been associated with!

The greatest monsters of fantasy gaming come alive in this hardcover release for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game! This lavishly illustrated, 328-page full-color tome contains new takes on more than 350 of the best-loved, most popular monsters of fantasy, ready for instant use in your Pathfinder RPG or 3.5 campaign! From the comedic-but-deadly goblin to the world-killing Tarrasque, the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary contains a wide range of foes suitable for battles with characters of all experience levels.

The book’s innovative design and presentation—where most monsters receive either a full page or two-page spread—makes for an easy-to-use reference book that is fun to read and also serves as a gallery of the industry’s strongest fantasy art. With a cover by fan-favorite Wayne Reynolds and new takes on classic monsters from the best of Paizo’s in-house and freelance designers and artists, the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary sets a new standard for monster books!

(Oh—and those monsters that didn't make the cut? You can find a bunch of them in the Pathfinder RPG Bonus Bestiary!)

This month's Pathfinder Society Scenarios will teach your players that they shouldn't always trust their own perceptions. Each scenario involves falsehoods of some sort—some perpetrated on the PCs, and some by the PCs.

In Pathfinder Society Scenario #33: Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible, the Pathfinder Society sends you to the island of Jalmeray to stop an Aspis Consortium black-market relics dealer who is organizing the local bandits and violently robbing Jalmeray and Pathfinder Society caravans laden with artifacts and magical mysteries. When a venture-captain is murdered by the Aspis Consortium agent, it's up to the PCs to find the killer and do whatever it takes to stop him. Written by Craig Shackleton, this scenario is designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2 and 4-5).

Pathfinder Society Scenario #34: Encounter at the Drowning Stones, is written by fan-favorite author Tim Hitchcock. The Drowning Stones are said to be the most desecrated site in the Mwangi Expanse, and the natives have long feared its malevolent presence. Rumors of suicide, infanticide, murder, and chaos always circle around these mysterious rock formations. The Society sends you there after the location is discovered by an Aspis Consortium demonologist. The Society fears the Consortium has discovered the source of the Drowning Stones' power, and it's up to you to insure that they don't get their hands on it. This Pathfinder Society Scenario is designed for 7th to 11th level characters (Tiers: 7-8 and 10-11).

Everybody loves Pathfinder's goblins—those crazy, slightly wonky and sometimes hilarious little runts who make you smile with their antics. Well, Privateer Press has their own cute little troublemakers called Bodgers, and they're setting them lose in a no-holds-barred factory floor brawl in their new board game, Scrappers. Wait for it...

In Scrappers, players take on the role of lively goblin mechanics as they race around a factory trying to pull parts off a constantly moving conveyor belt in order to complete their contraptions. Featuring stunning full-color artwork from Privateer Press artist Chris Walton, the game features fast, intuitive game play that takes only minutes to learn, but presents a strategic depth that will challenge both new young players and seasoned veterans alike. Add to that the maniacal and zany cast of the Bodgers goblin mechanics, and Scrappers is a game everyone will want to play again and again.

So unleash your inner goblin and get ready to rumble on the factory floor! And may the best Bodger win!

One of the first Pathfinder RPG-compatible products on the market was Tome of Secrets from Adamant Entertainment. Well, Adamant is continuing their support with a weekly series of mini-monster books called Fell Beasts. Fell Beasts: Volume 1 features 10 beasties from the Air Jelly to the Wicker Man, while Volume 2 contains 13 more monsters from the Cecaelia to the Vile Mandrake. They're written by well-known authors such as Ari Marmell and our own former intern Hank Woon, so check back each week to see what monster mayhem Adamant has in store.

Alluria Publishing is paizo.com's newest PDF publisher. Their Remarkable Races PDFs provide rules for playing new and unusual PC races that are designed to fit into nearly any Pathfinder RPG campaign—with versatile and non-intrusive back stories, these creatures can be spontaneously added to any setting. There are already five different Remarkable Races PDFs available: The Anumus, The Boggles, The Entobian, The Kval, and The Mahrog.

Finally, Reality Deviant Publications begins their Pathfinder RPG support with Class Options, a new line of E-books designed to enhance existing classes in your 3.5 or Pathfinder Roleplaying Game campaigns. Each volume will provide new options including sorcerer bloodlines, prestige classes, new feats, spells, class abilities and much more! The first Class Options offering, Sorcerer Bloodlines, provides you with ten new bloodlines and nine new feats you can use to add flavor to your characters.

There are now dozens of products designed for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game for sale on paizo.com. Check 'em out!

There is something about being a scoundrel, smuggler, acquisitions expert, and explorer all rolled into one. Han Solo is one of my all-time favorites of these disreputable archetypes—his devil-may-care attitude as well as his ability to think on his feet regardless of what comes at him are endearing traits. If you find yourself wishing you could adopt this type of life, then look no further—Fantasy Flight's Warhammer 40,000—Rogue Trader RPG is here!

You take on the role of a Rogue Trader and his most trusted counsellors, empowered by an ancient warrant of trade to seek out profit and plunder amongst unexplored regions of space. Your ship will take you to new worlds and uncharted reaches of the void, where you will encounter rivals, pirates, aliens, and possibly even creatures of the warp. You will acquire and spend great wealth and riches, and fame or infamy will follow. You will discover ancient and forgotten mysteries and search out the unknown to find lost human worlds or never-before-seen celestial phenomena. You must survive the dangers of space, for beyond the threat of vacuum and deadly radiation lurk things Man was never meant to find.

To be part of a Rogue Trader’s crew is to stand on the threshold of nearly unlimited opportunity. Vast profits await for you and your fellow Explorers to find and claim. Fame and fortune reward the bold, but the unwary find only an anonymous death.

Over the years, our warehouse has accumulated piles of stray items that have collected a little bit of wear and tear. Maybe a book's cover was scuffed, or the spine was dinged, or the corner was bent, yet it would still make a perfectly serviceable reading copy. Well, it's time to find these strays a home, so we're announcing the paizo.com Scratch-'n-Dent Sale!

At the time I write this, we've got about a hundred different products to offer. Several of these have been out of print for a few months, such as Pathfinder Adventure Path #3: Hook Mountain Massacre, GameMastery Flip Mat: Tavern, the original Flip Mat with squares and hexes, and GameMastery Map Pack: Countryside. There are even damaged copies of some of our recent releases such as the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Pathfinder Adventure Path #25: The Bastards of Erebus, and Pathfinder Companion: Qadira to name a few. We even found a few slightly damaged copies of out-of-print Order of the Stick books.

We've only got one or two copies of many of the products in the Scratch-'n-Dent Sale, so they won't last long; a few others have a hundred or so available since an entire case was partially damaged. Since we find new damaged product almost every day as we open cases and ship product out, you should check back often to see what has been added.

Note: If you're the type of person who is even slightly tempted to email customer service to ask exactly what type of damage a particular book has, then please step away from the Scratch-'n-Dent Sale and buy our mint copies instead—if you're picky enough that you need to ask, then it's probably too damaged for you—and there are no returns on these items. However, if you can overlook bent corners, slight tears, folded pages, scuffed finishes or dinged boxes, then you'll find a plethora of products waiting to grace your gaming table, at up to 25% off the original price!

Every so often, somebody in the gaming industry does something that makes you say "why didn't I think of that?" I try to hunt down products like that at Gen Con each year, but this past August, I didn't even have to leave the Paizo booth—inventor Erik Bauer found me to show off his new product, Gaming Paper.

Gaming Paper is a low-cost alternative to expensive battlemaps and tile sets. It’s a 12-foot-long, 30-inch-wide roll of paper printed with a one-inch grid for use with miniatures and roleplaying games. Use pens, markers, or other implements to create detailed terrain for campaigns or miniatures battles. At just $4 for 30 square feet, it's a fraction of the cost of other gaming mats... and it's recyclable!

And if you want to have some fun, check out Erik's Gaming Paper Demos on YouTube. This stuff is really versatile!

We've told you about a couple dozen PDFs that other companies have published for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, but precious few have been available in print yet. Well, 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming is changing that, with two of their Pathfinder RPG–compatible products now available in print and PDF editions!

We told you about the PDF edition of The Book of Arcane Magic a while back, but to recap for those new to the party, it's a sourcebook for bards, sorcerers and wizards, with over 100 new spells, eleven colleges of magic and bardic schools, ten new bloodlines for sorcerers, ten new familiars, and many new magic items. And now it's also available in print! (Don't miss the FREE web enhancement, the Reborn Soul bloodline for sorcerers.)

Newly arrived is the followup, The Book of Divine Magic, a sourcebook for clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers. It introduces 21 new deities, complete with dogmas, portfolios and domains. There are also over 100 new spells, details of several major houses of worship, rules for divine animal companions for clerics, and dozens of new magic items.

A couple of years back, John Kovalic's My Little Cthulhu figure took paizo.com by storm! We shipped out thousands of these cute little guys, and I like to think we did our bit to help Cthulhuize the world!

And now it's time for a followup. Introducing John Kovalic's Mythos Buddies, a 12-figure blind-boxed series revolving around Buddy Cthulhu—a shrunken-down and oh-so-cute version of the green monster. These little treasures were designed by John Kovalic and sculpted by Tom Meier. These 2.75-inch tall little menaces come blind-boxed in identical packaging, so we really have no idea which one of these little old gods will pop out when you open your box at home! You could get one of the five common figures: Buddy Cthulhu, Ghost 'Thulhu, Little My Little Cthulhu, Goth 'Thulhu, or Angrythulhu. Or perhaps you might be lucky enough to land one of the three uncommon figures: Matrixthulhu, Ninjathulhu, or Coolthulhu. If the stars are aligned, you might just be graced by the presence of either of the two rares: Flowerthulhu and Meanthulhu. And if the Old Ones are truly watching over you,one of the two ultra-rare figures may be your gift from them: Cthulhu for President or a figure that's so secret that we don't even know what it might be! (Could it be one of John's Pokéthulhu designs? We don't know!)

So collect all 12—if you can!—or just get a couple to decorate your cubicle at work. But no matter the madness to your method, Mythos Buddies are just too cute to resist!

The Old World—a land of immense kingdoms, epic quests, and fierce battles—seethes with ancient rivalries. Bitter enemies face off against one another on blood-soaked fields of battle, as each race seeks to rise to dominance of the Old World. Massive Iron-clad Orcs rage war against everyone, including themselves. Dwarfs wield massive hammers against the foul spawn of Chaos. The Empire engineers calculate building walls and fortifications to repel invaders, and the armies of Chaos pour forth from the Northern wastes to wreck ruin on all.

Set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy universe, Fantasy Flight's latest Living Card Game, Warhammer: Invasion is a battle in which two players muster their forces, collect vast resources, venture out on perilous—but rewarding—quests, build and develop their kingdom, and lead massive sieges against heavily fortified foes. Every race features its own flavour and proficiencies. The Dwarfs are the masters of armour and can withstand mighty blows that would kill any other creature. The Orcs spread their love of battle far and wide, and are capable of dealing massive damage and destruction on a scale nigh unimaginable. The Empire is well organized and swiftly develops and moves their forces about with surgical precision. Chaos strikes insidiously at the delicate underbelly corrupting, and eventually destroying, all who it targets with lies of power and strength. Every faction must not only wage war with its foes, but also must manage and build up their kingdoms if they hope to win.

The action gets started with the Warhammer: Invasion Card Game Core Set, which includes 220 cards, four player boards, and a supply of counters—all the materials necessary for players to take on the roles of either the indestructible Dwarfs, the shrewd Empire, the savage Orcs, or the vile forces of Chaos. In the future, non-random expansion packs will be released, allowing the game to evolve over time just like Fantasy Flight's other card games.

When the new Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual Miniatures set came out the week after Gen Con, it collided with Paizo's moving across town and setting up a new warehouse. Well, it's taken a few weeks, but we've finally had the time to open the cases upon cases of Legendary Evils Booster Packs that we'd set aside to offer as singles!

Legendary Evils has some of the coolest huge figures available, including the Beholder Ultimate Tyrant and the Balor. We've been waiting seemingly forever for a Remorhaz figure, and WotC has delivered a tasty, frigid morsel. I was also impressed by the Storm Titan and can't wait to use it in my game. But there are plenty of other cool figures in this set, including the first Brown Dragon, a very nasty-looking Hezrou, and a sinister-looking Elder Green Dragon. Dragonlance fans will be really happy with the Aurak Draconian and the Sivak Draconian. And, of course, you can never have too many Human Rabble and Goblin Cutter figures for your campaign. The Githzerai get some more love with the Cenobite and Mindmage figures, while the Duergar get the Cleric of Asmodeus and Guard figures. And there are more than two dozen other minis in the set to check out!

Overall, I'm really pleased with the full set of Legendary Evils singles. Browse through and pick out your favorites today!

One of the more innovative RPGs to come out of the great RPG rush of the '90s was Pinnacle's Deadlands. Set in a "Weird West" which mixed classic cowboy movie tropes with pulp horror, Deadlands garnered legions of fans eager to prevent the Reckoner's wish for a Hell on Earth. The notion of zombie gunslingers fueled the minds of players. Now Twilight Creations, in conjunction with Pinnacle, has turned the classic RPG into a board game, Deadlands: The Battle for Slaughter Gulch!

Dust, grit, and the smell of fear blow through the quiet streets of a rough and tumble frontier town. Once deemed a refuge from the hazards of the West, the town took a darker turn with the discovery of precious ghost rock. You have come to lay claim to your share of the priceless mineral, only to find that you aren’t the only one who has heard of the fabulous wealth ripe for the plucking. Can you outwit your foes and take control of the town and the limitless wealth it promises to the strong and cunning? Or will an unmarked grave on Boot Hill be your final resting place?

This board game comes with over a hundred pieces, including 56 figures representing various outfits and townsfolk. So put in your silver bullets and get ready to "draw" at high noon in this board game set in the weird west!

Every chapter is narrated by a different personality living in the city, and each narrator provides a unique point of view and expertise.

Looking for an adventure to play in this new setting? The Witchfire Trilogy: Collected Edition is a standalone campaign adventure for characters of levels 1–7, and contains monsters, locals, magical creations, firearms, and intriguing characters to introduce the players to western Immoren.

Of course, while all of these books were designed for 3.5, it should be a simple matter to run them with the Pathfinder RPG!

When you watch a movie, the soundtrack is as important to the experience as the cinematography and the script. If you don't believe me, watch a movie with the sound turned off and the closed captioning turned on. Yet, when we tell our own stories around the gaming table, most of us skip the soundtrack. What a missed opportunity! Thankfully, there are a number of companies who produce soundtracks with gamers in mind. Among the most recent to come on the scene is Nox Arcana, an American gothic horror musical group, formed in 2003 by Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski. Their music has dark overtones and bears some stylistic resemblance to certain subgenres of New Age and Gothic music.

Their latest album, Blackthorn Asylum, dares you to explore the shadows of a forsaken sanitarium that is haunted by the souls of the dead and plagued by the dark essence of evil! The hollow edifice of Blackthorn Asylum stands as a bleak monument to the horrors that once lurked within its desolate halls. This sinister soundscape contains 21 tracks of ghostly melodies, pulse-pounding orchestrations, and spine-chilling sound effects to set a dark, nightmarish mood, ideal for a Call of Cthulhu or World of Darkness game.

So give your players a sensory overload with with this creepy (and just a little bit insane) soundtrack!

Late last year, Steve Jackson Games hit a plush home run with the introduction of his Chibithulu Green Plush. He followed it up with a limited edition Pink Chibithulhu plush that sold out before it shipped! This burgeoning success has caused SJG to roll out a whole line of Chibithulhu plush, with the Halloween Chibithulhu Plush up now.

This 10-inch-tall soft and huggable plush figure features huge, adorable eyes, a felt witch's hat, a black jack o' lantern on the chest... and Cthulhu's trademark tentacles. It's made of all-new materials, and is machine washable. As with most of Steve Jackson's accessories, this toy includes a special rule for one of his games—in this case, one that will help you during your Munchkin Cthulhu game.

All Hallow's Eve is a little over a month away, and this awesome Halloween Chibithulhu plush could be just what you need to make it spooktacular!

A couple of years ago, Green Ronin worked with us here at paizo.com to host their d20 Apocalypse sale, clearing out most of their d20 books at a deep discount. We later launched a 50% off sale on a bunch of other Green Ronin products. Both of these sales have done very well, and many of the items are now completely out of print. We've managed to get some of the last stock from Green Ronin, but most of them will soon be gone for good.

We have also managed to add a few new products to the Apocalypse sale. The last copies of Todd Gamble's Cartographica: Journal of Maps are in our warehouse and priced to move at $2 each. Cartographica provides beautiful maps of dungeons, subterranean lairs, overland routes, fantasy buildings, and castles. We've also added a couple of new Freeport books to the 50% off sale: Black Sails Over Freeport and Cults of Freeport. Additionally, we managed to scrounge up a few more copies of Pocket Grimoire: Divine. We also have a few copies of some older Mutants & Masterminds products on sale for 50% off while our supplies last. Such classics as Foes of Freedom, Gimmick's Guide to Gadgets, Lockdown, Nocturnals—A Midnight Companion, Noir and Time of Crisis are available right now! We also have all three Blue Rose books—Blue Rose RPG, Blue Rose Companion and The World of Aldea at 50% off. And even that isn't everything. As of this writing, the Apocalypse sale has two dozen products priced at either $2 or $5, and we've got 28 more products at 50% off!

And in other sale news, one of our fan-favorite features is back! Our distributor, Alliance, has resumed their weekly sales, so our Alliance Weekly Sale area is live again! You'll want to check it out every week, as there are always some new and awesome bargains in there!

When we decided to create the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatibility License to allow other companies to make Pathfinder Roleplaying Game–compatible products, we had no idea how many folks would decide to publish under its aegis. It has been heartening to see the many products that have already come out as well as all the ones that are in the pipeline. Choice is one of the best things that the OGL brought to roleplaying, and we're please to keep it alive with the Pathfinder RPG.

The most prolific publisher under the PFRPG Compatibility License is Louis Porter Jr Design. When I last blogged compatible products, Louis had two; in the past few weeks, he's added eight more! Four of them are in his Undefeatable line, which adds new feats for the core classes, and so far, he has published PDFs for barbarians, bards, clerics and wizards and sorcerers. Louis has also launched a line called Ultimate Spell Decks, providing class spell lists in easy-to-print card form. So far, he's covered the ranger and the bard. He's also got a handy template for Monster Initiative Cards, which you can fill in with pertinent info on creatures and NPCs that your players will interact with during your next gaming session. Finally, LPJ has released a new class in his Lost Classes of Fantasy: Blooded Noble PDF.

Rite Publishing has also launched their first PFRPG-compatible product with their new Agate Companion PDF. Here, they provide a in-depth detailed figurine of wondrous power that grants you an animal companion, or grants your existing animal companion the ability to become a figurine of wondrous power.

If Obi-Wan Kenobi is to be believed, for over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Yet there always seems to be a war going on somewhere in the Star Wars galaxy. In the original trilogy, the plucky Rebellion was engaged in a guerilla war with the Galactic Empire; in the prequels, the Separatists battled the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars. In the expanded universe, there are Old Sith Wars, New Sith Wars, Mandalorian Wars, the New Republic's war against the remnants of the Empire and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances' war against the invading Yuuzhan Vong. Many of the iconic figures we think of are fighter pilots and armored soldiers. Yep, the Star Wars universe is all about war, and the latest Star Wars RPG book, Galaxy at War, is going to give us the lowdown on the tools of war in a galaxy far, far away.

From epic battlefields to covert infiltration missions, this book covers everything you need to run a military campaign in the Star Wars universe. Packed with information on military organizations, dangerous battle stations, and the rigors of warfare, Galaxy at War presents plenty of new options for players and Game Masters alike.

This book contains new material from the breadth of the Star Wars saga, including a wealth of new information based on the hit animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Create a hardened squad commander, a hand-to-hand combat specialist, a cunning military officer or one of many other character possibilities, and join the fight!

Running an RPG is hard work! I'm currently writing advice on running Pathfinder RPG sessions for next February's Pathfinder RPG GameMastery Guide, and it has made me realize just how many things a GM needs to worry about. I'm also amazed by the tools and tricks that have been developed to make GMs better at running high-calibre games. So any book which provides good advice about improving your game has to be high on the must-buy list for GMs everywhere! And if you're DMing Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, then the Dungeon Masters Guide 2 has what you need!

This core rulebook for features advice and rules for Dungeon Masters of all levels of experience, with a particular focus on running adventures and campaigns in the paragon tier (levels 11–20). It includes advanced encounter-building tools (including traps and skill challenges), storytelling tips to bring your game to life, new monster frameworks to help you craft the perfect villain, example campaign arcs, a comprehensive look at skill challenges, and a detailed "home base" for paragon-tier adventurers—the interplanar city of Sigil.

Gamers love movies. But movies based on games are often disappointing. So when I heard that Fantasy Flight was making a movie based on its Midnight RPG, I hoped they'd be able to buck the trend and make one of the exceptional ones. And then when I saw the trailer on YouTube, I was blown away by the high quality of the effort, and started looking forward to the movie's release. Well, I need wait no longer!

It has been a hundred years since the Shadow fell. The legate Mag Kiln has been ordered to travel to the small town of Blackweir to investigate the disappearance of a fellow priest. There he begins to uncover not only the mysterious and forbidden legacy of the town, but also the malevolent, prophetic force that grows within him.

Midnight Chronicles is the first feature film from Fantasy Flight Studios, based on the award-winning roleplaying game Midnight. The DVD is packed with special features including a behind-the-scenes documentary, a featurette on visual effects, deleted scenes, director's commentary, shooting script, storyboards, and an all-new exclusive 4E adventure for the Midnight roleplaying game, based on locations and characters from the film.

You can bet that the Midnight Chronicles DVD will be a welcome addition to my DVD library!
