The Creepy Crepitus—Ecology

... The Creepy Crepitus Thursday, May 29th, 2008Here's another peek at the forthcoming Pathfinder Module LB1: Tower of the Last Baron. ... It is speculated that Asmodeus spawned the first crepitus devils, sometimes called magewretches, to tempt and corrupt mortal wizards into damning their souls. Yet while it is true that the crepitus is a highly intelligent creature with a gift for spellcraft and all things arcane, its great intellect is countered by its foolishness and inability to...

Meet The Iconics: Seltyiel Monday, May 26, 2008 Born from a dead mother amid screams and disgrace, this sickly half-elf would never have survived had he fallen into his stepfather's waiting arms.

The Korvosan Cards

... The Korvosan Cards Thursday, May 22, 2008One of the highlights of working in a gaming company with product lines as closely related as Paizo's is to see an idea you presented in one product show up in another. In fact, even though James Jacobs is systematically destroying the city I lovingly and painstakingly crafted in Guide to Korvosa, it is immensely satisfying to see features of Korvosa I created presented in our flagship product. Along those same lines, two of the excellent cards in...

Here Comes the Neighborhood Wednesday, May 21, 2008Darkmoon Vale is a dangerous place (indeed, it hosts the modules D0, D1, D1.5, E1, and LB1). Probably the most dangerous place in Andoran.

Meet The Artists: Concept Art House Monday, May 19, 2008So, it struck me that we haven't spent much time on this blog talking about art. We've shown off plenty of it, but remember, it all has to come from somewhere!

... It's a Hardcover! Friday, May 16, 2008This Gen Con, something pretty exciting is coming to Golarion—a hardcover book! I'm talking, of course, about the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting. Wayne Reynolds gives us the first look at one of the campaign setting's big bad guys, the infamous lich known as the Whispering Tyrant as he takes offense at Valeros, Seoni, and Merisiel's intrusion upon his personal time.

The Ginger Star (Trade Paperback)

Men of the Broken Towers

... Men of the Broken Towers Tuesday, May 13, 2008In trying to choose a topic for today's blog post on Leigh Brackett's The Ginger Star, I had a rough time. After raving about Brackett's prose in my last post, I knew that I wanted to share an excerpt—but which one? The scene depicted on the cover, where Stark and the mysterious wise woman face execution? Perhaps his fight with the Children of the Sea? Or his escape from the subterranean world of humanity's ferret-faced descendants?...
