Also Prince of Wolves by Dave Gross in the novel line.
Prince of Wolves is pretty rich. Touches on Ustalav geopolitics, wandering Varisian subculture, pathfinder society, Cheliax, Whispering Tyrant, Lastwall paladins, and more.
Alternating first-person narrators is an uncommon choice but I think the author pulled it off well with the contrast between the two.

Also there is an exorcism via chicken.

ATTENTION: Only 18 days left until the Open Call closes for Wayfinder #13, folks.
Remember, Ustalav is Wes Schneider's faaaaaaavorite country, so if you ever wanted to get the attention of Paizo's Editor-in-Chief, THIS is a really good opportunity to do so.
As of right now, I only have a dozen submissions.....still plenty of time, but this is not on pace with our Cheliax issue. I thought that maybe Ustalav would draw the same amount of fan interest....I hope I am still correct!
Get those submissions written and send them in!!!!

Article sent (it was written a month ago, I just got around to stripping out the formatting, 'cause I've been some combination of too busy and too lazy...).
Everyone knows I can write me some 10,000 words about undead in less time it takes to bake a lasagna, so I decided to not write about undead.
The great thing about writing for a game is getting to do 'research' that consists of reading books and looking up stuff I really wanted to read more about anyway. Oh no! Don't make me go read about ancient vampire legends, or Dagon-worshipping fish-peeps! I feel like one of those upscale restaurant reviewers whose 'job' is to eat really awesome food and then write about eating really awesome food...

I just finished my SupaStah submission. After I let it marinate overnight, I'll submit it (with any last minute tweaks) Monday evening and then I should be free for Wayfinder. I'll probably only be submitting one or two critters for this issue though.
I just hope my stomach starts to unknot sometime soon. 8/

Tim or Paris, do you guys have a summary of submissions so far, so we can fill in categories that are short? I hate to make you do that work, but they were really handy in the past.
Up to 22 submissions now.
Bestiary: 6
Class: 6
Fiction: 5 (although 3 come from 1 author)
Fluff: 2
Sidetrek Seeds: 2
Weal or Woe: 1
Missing any Crunch, Magic Items.
Could use more of everything though....fluff (people, places), Weal or Woe articles, side trek seeds, and fiction.
However, it's still wide open. If you've got a monster in mind, or a class thing, or anything....do it! Send it in!

Managed to finish the poem and I just sent it out. Time permitting I may try for a Golarion Gazetteer. After reading through Rule of Fear, I was wondering if there were any settlements not covered in Carrion Crown that could use a bit more flavour? Any suggestions?
EDIT: I thought Dr. D. deserved some love so I went with him for my poem. I hate spoilers as I haven't played CC yet, but ny chance that he appears at all?

Random thoughts I had while picking a subject;
Thanks to the Order of the Palatine Eye (Occult Mysteries p 24-25) and their Osirioni focus, leftover article ideas from the previous issue could find use here.
The usual class powers / options based on the theme. Alchemical discoveries or Rogue talents or Monk style feats or Sorcerer Bloodline or Wizard sub-school or Oracle mystery or Cleric sub-domain derived from Old Cults or vampire / werewolf / ghoul / etc. themes. (A werewolf or vampire totem trio of rage powers, for instance, or new rogue/ninja tricks that mimic vampiric or undead qualities, like momentary bursts of wall clinging or gaseous form.)
Vampiric 'fangblades' made with a vampire tooth in the handle that does +1d6 damage when it strikes a living a target, half of which (round down) is received as healing by the user (the other half of which is magically transmitted to the blades vampire creator!). An assortment of similar magic weapons / items that, like Hag Eyes, link one to a monstrous creator in some way.
Sanguine spells (animate dagger using blood from a bleed effect, transfer life-force between living creatures using blood, etc.)
Silver magic / werewolf magic, using silver as a power component to cause magic weapon spells to make the effected weapon count as silver to bypass DR, or during casting some detection spell to make it reveal lycanthropes instead (perhaps detect undead?) or to dispel magic to instead cause lycanthropes in the area to involuntarily change shape.
Pharasman holy water obscuring mist / fog cloud / riptide variants (holy water power component added to standard casting), variant Water Domain powers to to create a burst of holy water around self or in a life effect, holy water alchemist-like Bombs as high level Water Domain power for Pharasmans
Side Trek - bog bodies from Anactoria (Rule of Fear p 16) are actually specially prepared zombies (or even mummies) being used to infiltrate Lepidstadt, to provide a distraction for someone who wants to raid their library during the confusion (not to steal something, but to *change* some recorded information, perhaps to make a summoning fail, or to steal or deny an inheritance by adding or removing record of an heir to a noble family, etc.)
Secret of county of Berus and 'Mother Sighle' (Rule of Fear p 12), Bokrug-worshipping hag, vampire or ghoul weather controlling witch the source of the well-guarded bounty, demanding sacrifice for good crops?
The mysterious 'lost pages.' Page 10 of Rule of Fear mentions that Kavaspesta is detailed in Chapter 3. Page 30 of Rule of Fear mentions that Carrion Hill is detailed in Chapter 4. Neither entry exists, leaving plenty of room for someone to make stuff up! :)

Actually, Wes wrote a bit about Kavapesta in this post here... but I think that I may want to use this for the Gazetteer article, if you don't mind. Still not much anywhere else about it, and I'd like to add to what Wes has.

Ooh, cool! Thanks for that. I didn't know (or remember?) it was already brought up and addressed!
Wow. Kavepesta sounds like a not-fun place to live. (Not that anywhere in Ustalav is entirely puppies-and-rainbows...)

For the gazetteer articles, the map is the illustration. Article layout is such that we can have 750 words PLUS a quarter page for an illustration.
So, a 2 page article is 1500 words plus up to a half-page illustration....like a cool map.
And yes, I fully expect that if you want a map done for the article, you will turn over a rough map. Take a look at past Wayfinders for examples!

For an Ustalav issue, there really ought to be an entire collection of new haunts, whether that's in the bestiary section or not...
Just my two cents,
--Neil
I very much agree with this statement.
Haunts are usually pretty low on word count, so if a bunch of us wrote 1 or 2 haunts each, maybe they could be compiled into a single larger article?
I had the idea for a gnarled black tree that grows over the sight of an unconsecrated burial. As well as a cursed doll, though that might work better as a item.

Yes, I endorse this plan. Send us haunts, much like SideTrek Seeds, and we will make an article out of it. Let's say UP TO THREE HAUNTS for a submission (totaling 750 words or less).
