It's almost here!

The playtest lands this friday!

Note the pencil sketch tease, we see a shield and a heavy flail.

This leads me to beleive that this is the mid-section of a half-orc cavalier!


Yeah exciting stuff, I know many don't like more that the core 3 (now 2 with PfRPG!)

but I love new rules books, I don't really use them but I love reading them :)

But yeah... w00t!


Can't wait to try the Cavalier and oracle, though I was most looking forward to the Witch

I think maybe that item with the cockatrice(?) on it is too small to be a shield. Look at the size of the flail in comparison. I think it's part of the armor, or at least some sort of fancy ornamentation.

Doesn't matter, really. I'm just counting the seconds to the preview's release tomorrow. Sure wish I didn't have to wait a month to try out the alchemist...


Okay its today, I was hoping it'd be up for regular blog time, which is roughly 8am here, so 0am PST, but it must be going up on paizo's 8am PST! Boo-urns! :p

Hmm... 8 am PST makes for 4 pm UTC meaning, I'll have it around 5 pm here... *sigh* still quite a while...


I would expect 12 to 3 pm PST thats about the normal time they put stuff up

This is one of those times I wish they were on the East Coast instead...

Hey, any staff who are watching, can we get some info on the iconics!?

I love them by the way! Where is the oracle from?

I mentioned on another thread that we'll be doing a new series of meet the iconics in a few months once the final full-color art comes in. At this point, I'm thinking the cavalier is from Mendev and the oracle is from Varisia, but that is still subject to change.


Mendev suits!

Varisia? I thought she was Mwangi or something! She looks very, very exotic! :D

Can't wait, meet the iconics has always been my favourite blog feature!

Honestly... I'm waiting to see what colors Wayne chooses for both characters to decide on their ethnicity and where they're from. Anything's possible, still!


My vote is at least one from Garund! Keep up the continental diversity and all! I could see a Osirion Bones Foci Oracle!

The only ethnicity we required this time around was someone from Tian Xia, actually (the witch). But yeah, I'm hoping that we'll get another iconic from Garund as well.


Well, skimming through it, the cavalier did nothing for me.

The oracle, however, was inspiring! I'm looking forward to hearing how it works in play.


Take it back!

Still waitin' on the half-orc iconic...

I'm thinking Inquisitor? Because nobody expects the Orcish Inquisition!

Based on the outfit, I'm seeing the Oracle as Osirioni (the staff is particularly suggestive of this), Qadiran or Mwangi (which the headdress makes me think of).

The Cavalier's outfit is actually a little busier than I'd like. I kind of miss the sleek lines of the armor from the movie Excalibur.

Ah, the kind of armor you don't even need to take off to have sex!

Ah, those knights! Always looking for ways to enjoy the spoils of war right on the battlefield without letting their guard down!

And a good observation, Ser Zaister :D

I'm glad to see something mentioned Wayne. I was 99% sure it was his sketches but didn't see anything in the actual document.
DE for the win just moved from Dover to Newark. Fun times.

Cool! Near the college or further out? Have you been to DOKs yet (Days of Knights is the local game shop right on the main street in Newark, if you haven't found it yet.)?

This will work out fabulously for my Minkai game. ^_^

I graduated from UD a year ago or so. *insert school spirit saying here*. Right now I'm aboot 15 minutes away from campus.
I know DOK's but prefer to either order directly from here or go to Between Books in Claymont.

Yeah, me too with DOKs. Are you currently gaming with a group or still looking since the move?
