End the Year on a High[-Level] Note!

Monday, December 8, 2014

I could swear I've written this blog before, and I could swear it has started a different way each time.

In fact, this blog has been about a year in the making, ever since I took a copy of Paizo's second 64-page model with me over Thanksgiving break to begin working on that adventure's sanctioning document. It's been through about four revisions since then, each one not quite turning out as I had envisioned before other priorities put an end to my edits.

Something changed with this last go-around. I put an end to saying, "No, this is too silly to be a boon" and began asking, "What needs to happen to make this a boon?" I began taking out some of the weird limitations and tweaked the language in the Seeker Arc Option section (yes, a seeker arc option!) to make it easier to schedule and play. I began experimenting with ways to let the player choose the rewards. I began to open up some stranger options, and I began to write something other than a number in the "GP Gained" box. In the end, the Chronicle sheets began to look like the Chronicle sheets should for a high-level module full of clockwork, mutants, and gunpowder: awesome.

Really there's only one thing left to begin: playing Pathfinder Module: Wardens of the Reborn Forge, now sanctioned for the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign. One important thing has come to an end: the long wait for this fine opportunity for high-level play. You can download the rules and Chronicle sheet on the product page or the Additional Resources page.

Bwa ha ha! Sanctioned for Organized Play at long last!

Check by next week when I continue spreading the holiday cheer with some Treasure and Terror... or was that Jewels and Jeopardy?

Happy gaming!

Mayhem in the Mana Wastes

With the release of Pathfinder Module: Wardens of the Reborn Forge, there's no shortage of monsters and mutants eager to kill some characters! Not only are there dangerous constructs like the one you see here taking on Lirianne, but even regular beasties end up nastier and weirder.

Because scorpions weren't scary enough already, right? They really needed a sabosan with a sword and a gun to be a threat. We're not going to say much more about this NPC; this image speaks for itself!

Now, you might expect a good many folks carrying firearms in Alkenstar and beyond, but in the Mana Wastes, even the oozes are filled with gunpowder! This gunpowder ooze makes fights more volatile with its explosive residue.

Pathfinder Module: Wardens of the Reborn Forge will be available for purchase approximately December 18, 2013

Pawns of Winter

Saturday, October 26, 2013

Fall may be here, but winter is right around the corner—just in time for the Reign of Winter Adventure Path Pawn Collection! With more than 100 individual cardstock pawns, this Pathfinder Pawns collection brings to life 90 key monsters and NPCs from the Reign of Winter Adventure Path for use in your campaign. All of these allies and enemies appear in the Reign of Winter Adventure Path, but the Reign of Winter Adventure Path Pawn Collection also includes pawns for characters who have never been illustrated before. To whet your appetite for these tiny cardstock figures, here's a preview of some of the brand-new art for these characters!
