2014 Art Review
As we close out 2014, I wanted to end on a high note and give you one last year-end blog. I went to our Managing Art Director Sarah Robinson and Senior Art Director Andrew Vallas to get some help rounding up some favorite illustrations from the past year. Seeing how great their selections were, I also asked various members of our editorial team to pick a few of their own favorites to add. So here are some of our best illustrations from 2014!
New Scenarios for a New Year
With the exception a few summer conventions releases, scenarios traditionally come out on the last Wednesday of the month. This time that's December 31st, which probably makes these adventures feel less like the December 2014 scenarios and more like a capstone to an exciting year of Pathfinder Society Organized Play plus a wonderful ringing in of the new year—at least that's how I'm going to brand it. Both adventures start with time-honored, familiar concepts from 2014 and while pursuing new plots that make 2015 particularly worth celebrating.
Bright and Happy Holidays from Paizo!
As 2014 comes to a close we've taken the time to reflect on our community, our customers, the products and projects we've spent countless hours on, and all the moments in between that have made this year so special.
Pirate's Promise Sample Chapter
In Pirate's Promise, Torius Vin is perfectly happy with his life as a pirate captain, sailing the Inner Sea with a bold crew of buccaneers and Celeste, his snake-bodied navigator and one true love. Yet all that changes when his sometimes-friend Vreva Jhafae—a high-powered courtesan and abolitionist spy in the slaver stronghold of Okeno—draws him into her shadowy network of secret agents. Caught between the slavers he hates and a navy that sees him as a criminal, can Torius continue to choose the path of piracy? Or will he sign on as a privateer, bringing freedom to others—at the price of his own?
Season of the Shackles: The Halfwayish Point
The inaugural season of the Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild is underway, and players across the globe are testing their mettle against not-so-lone sharks and a very frisky dragon turtle. Curious about the story so far? You’ve come to the right place!
Stories from the Field: What to Do When New Players Arrive
With several new changes to improve Pathfinder Society Organized Play on the way over the next several months, one of the things I want to do to add to that improvement is feature venture-officers' knowledge about coordinating and organizing game days, as well as tips and tricks for all aspects of organized play. It's one thing to offer advice from here in Redmond, Washington. It is another to offer advice from the field. At least once a month, I hope to feature a blog, titled Stories from the Field, that is written by a venture-officer who wants to give back to the community through the Pathfinder Society weekly blog.
