No huge announcement for the new Paizo editor, but it seems the cat is officially out of the bag. Congratulations Rob! Can't wait to start bugging you about making more frequent blog posts and canon discrepancies and other annoying fannish behavior.

Anyone who missed it can see Lisa's subtle announcement here.

Congratulations, indeed, Rob!

Glückwünsche und alles Gute, Rob.
(Congratulations and all the best for the new job, Rob)

Paizo Employee Director of Game Development

I've said it elsewhere, but might as well say it here as well.

Congrats, Rob!

I hope the transition has been relatively painless. Enjoy your new gig!

The Exchange

Wow! Rob! Enjoy!


Congrats, Rob. (Just so I am clear, is Rob the guy who was teaching English in Prague and doing freelance work before?) Might we get a tag for Rob so we can see everything he's done?

Well done, Yoda! I think we need a blog update...

How about his PathfinderWiki article?


Kudos, as always to the Wiki!

Just one clarification: Rob's position is "Assistant Editor" not "Editorial Assistant." You see, he's going to be an editor that assists, not an assistant that edits. I know it's kind of like making the distinction between a ghost pirate and a pirate ghost, but, you know... editors.

Oh, and yeah, welcome aboard Rob. We don't start cracking the whip 'till Monday.


Or he could be Assistant to the Editor. Which would be totally different as well.

Huge announcement is on the way, but I like to fill you guys in a little early when I can. Even if it is just a bit subtle. :)

It is this attention to detail that makes you great! Changing the article now.


Huzzah and congrats!

It is going to be a wee bit old since he starts on Monday. But I'll save him an empty box smeared with tomato sauce! :)

In high school I kept a slice of Pizza Hut pizza in my locker for three years, moving it from locker to locker each school year. It never got moldy or anything. Just turned really hard. So Rob will be fine if he can get through the crunch.

And we should have sent a cake along with the pies! Happy birthday Alison!

Sounds like a great fit! Good luck, Rob.


I hope that Rob realises this means that he is going to be consigned to the torment and suffering of having his work critiqued and commented on like an unending RPGSuperstar contest for the next however many years of his life....
Soon he too will be put through the agony of having his every comment about hippogriffs, dwarves, flumphs, or clerics in heavy armour misinterpretted, overanalysed, be the cause of flame wars, or just generally be smurrrrphed upon that is the daily lot of the Paizo editor. Soon he too will need to send for an ice bath for his arm, after spending hours signing autographs at a convention, or groan at his expansing waistline as yet another lorry load of pizzas arranged by fans rolls up outside of Paizo HQ...

Yes but there are some down sides to his new position too.... Although one fewer if he actually didn't need that soul which he just sold.

Hey, that reminds me - were we not due some jello wrestling from another thread? :)

Clearly, Jason's attempts to waylay Rob's plane failed to do anything more than simply delay the man. ;-D

Congrats again on the new chapter in your life, Rob.


Congratulations Rob, great news.... And welcome back to the States.

Congrats again Rob! Oh and my wife says the same! As I said before hopefully when we move back to the states in a few months I will be able to see you again at some conventions... If Paizo lets you out of the Pit ;-).

Congrats Rob!

And Paizo's talent level continues to get scarier and scarier :)

Sovereign Court

Looks like I just missed the pizza by one day. :(

Thanks for the congrats, everyone! I'm looking forward to jumping right in!


So, was this job opening posted and I missed it (easily possible!), or did Paizo create the position because of the level of talent they suddenly saw was available?

Liberty's Edge

Gratz Rob!

And happy birthday to Alison.


Congratz Rob and Happy Bday Alison!!!

Its cool to think that I met to previous non-paizo overlords at PaizoCon, Awesometastic Crystal and now Rob. Come to think of it, Ross is in there too :D So folks, keep reaching for those Paizo staff positions, as you see, its quite possible!

I wonder who will be next?...

Their in-house Mexican cover artist?


Congrats to Rob (just got the Mail). Awesome!

And a belated happy birthday to Alison.

This was indeed that posting.

It won't be the last time we make such a posting, I hope! :)


Congrats to Rob. He's seems like an incredibly nice guy and (judging by my hour+ interaction with him as part of the Mighty Muttonchops - where I was, essentially, a non-contributing member) incredibly well-versed in Golarion lore.

Congrats Rob, on such a well-deserved position! Shame the move back Stateside makes it unlikely we'll see you at Gencon/Paizocon UK again (unless it's as a member of staff!) Just as well Pete got you to sign our copy of the Campaign Setting at Gencon UK last year :P.


Way to go, Rob!

I was thinking something very similar. Congratulations, Rob.
