<p itemprop="description">This month, Pathfinder fans can get their hands on the adventure that kicks off the <a href="https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/adventures/adventurePath/returnOfTheRunelords">Return of the Runelords Adventure Path</a>—<a href="https://paizo.com/products/btpya1r8?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-133-Secrets-of-Roderics-Cove"><i>Secrets of Roderic's Cove</i></a>! I asked on Twitter what folks would like to see in a blog about this adventure, and a number of people wanted to know more about the writing process and more behind the scenes things. So, here y'all go!</p>
<p>After working on various parts of the Adventure Path line for over 6 years, I finally got my name on the front cover! I'd been given the option before, but it seemed like every time the opportunity came up the timing just wasn't right. I didn't want to take on a big project and not be able to deliver on time. I still had plenty on my plate, but kicking off an Adventure Path was too tempting to refuse. I also enjoy writing low-level adventures, so that was another factor that led me to jump on this.</p>
<p>James had some basic ideas of what he wanted this adventure to accomplish, and rather than us using the usual outlining process, we pretty much just talked things through, and I kept him updated on where the story was going, getting feedback and bouncing ideas off of him.</p>
<p>Writing Adventure Path adventures is tough. While I've written plenty of things since I first started freelancing, this adventure is the longest single project I've ever written. I stressed trying to pull it all together and hit my deadline (which I didn't), and at the end of it all I had overwritten by more than 7,000 words. Trimming it down was easier than I expected, though. I had another level in a dungeon that was a little more than 5,000 words by itself and it wasn't 100% necessary to the plot, so... yoink! To the floor with you! The rest was just cleaning up some things, connecting the dots, and trimming down a few encounters.</p>

<p>I enjoyed getting to flesh out the town of Roderic's Cove, as well. There were only a few sentences on the place, so I got to really breathe some life into it. I like making small towns and their inhabitants, and really enjoy linking everyone together to make a place seem realistic and dynamic all while giving PCs fun characters to interact with.</p>
<p>This adventure is somewhat of a sandbox, and it provides a wide range of encounters and places to explore. Not every challenge is best dealt with through violence, so the PCs can find different solutions to their problems. While the adventure kicks off the bigger plot of the campaign, it is also self-contained and could easily serve as a standalone adventure with minimal work on the GM's part.</p>
<p>I hope that everyone who reads or plays <i>Secrets of Roderic's Cove</i> enjoys themselves. Get ready to take down those runelords!</p>

<p itemprop="description">I've been looking forward to working on the <a href="https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/adventures/adventurePath/returnOfTheRunelords">Return of the Runelords Adventure Path</a> since the very start. As development on <a href="https://paizo.com/riseOfTheRunelords">Rise of the Runelords</a> wrapped up over ten years ago, we started a tradition that's lasted ever since—the inclusion of a tiny little message at the end of the sixth volume's legal text. In Rise of the Runelords, this message simply read, "The runelords will return." Likewise, in the sequel to Rise of the Runelords, the last volume of the Shattered Star Adventure Path teased, "Sorshen lives!"</p>
<p>Now, with Return of the Runelords, we finally get to see the payoff to these hidden messages, as well as wrap up the epic storyline that began with a now infamous goblin raid on the little town of Sandpoint. If you've played through either Rise of the Runelords or Shattered Star, you'll find a lot of callbacks in Return of the Runelords to events, characters, and treasures that first debuted in those earlier campaigns, and you'll even be able to see what became of prior PCs who played through those earlier games!</p>

<p>But even if you haven't played these prior campaigns, there's plenty of reasons to play <a href="https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/adventures/adventurePath/returnOfTheRunelords">Return of the Runelords</a>. This Adventure Path features longer adventures than most volumes, with the final installment being the longest adventure we've ever run in an Adventure Path volume! This increased length allows us to cover every level from 1st to 20th, without using Mythic Adventures to speed level progression along (as was the case in Wrath of the Righteous, the only other Adventure Path we've published that reached 20th level), but also pits your PCs against some of the most infamous and dangerous villains of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting.</p>
<p>So... if you think you've got what it takes to stand against the runelords, now you'll have a chance to prove it!</p>

<p class="date">Monday, July 4, 2016</p>
<div itemprop="articlebody">
<p itemprop="description">Hello Pathfinders! I hope this blog finds you hale and hearty, having enjoyed a weekend of sun, and fun. Hopefully, the fun involved some roleplaying, particularly the next installment of the Seeker Arc, <a href = "/products/btpy9m01"><em>#7-26 All for Immortality, Part 2: All the God's Beyond</em></a>. We are currently busy in the office wrapping up July's adventures, prepping for Gen Con, and generally surviving the chaos of the con season in full gear.</p>
<h2>Necessary Headgear</h2>
<p>At the PaizoCon banquet, I had the pleasure of modeling a knitted cap with the Year of the Stolen Storm logo. Lead Editor Extraordinaire Judy Bauer developed the pattern and knitted me a cap. An awesome gift from Judy, as my knitting skills don't extend past holding the needles and looking at the yarn. It is our pleasure to share the pattern with you. Please, if you do make one, remember to give creative credit to Judy!</p>
<p style = "text-align: center;"><a href = "/include/JudyPFSHat.zip"><b>Download the Hat of the Stolen Storm Knitting Pattern</b></a>— 163kb zip/PDF</a></p>
<p>For those that weren't at the banquet, here you go:</p>

<h2>Gen Con Events Going Fast!</h2>
<p>For those that haven't decided yet whether to attend Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana, from August 4-8, I'll add an incentive to the pot. You can still purchase tickets for Pathfinder Society events.</p>
<p>Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild offers quite a few of the Season 7 scenarios, as well as premiers of two special events and the first three scenarios in Season 8's Year of the Stolen Storm. As an incentive for getting up early, anyone attending the first session of Pathfinder Society game every day (8:00 AM on Thursday/Friday/Saturday and 9:00 AM Sunday) will get an extra token to use at the prize table. Prizes this year include gift certificates to paizo.com, hardcover rulebooks, Map Packs, boons, and a few surprises.</p>
<p>Some of our early morning offerings:</p>

<p>Or check out Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild's Season of the Runelords. Grab some tickets, start first thing Thursday morning, and play through the ENTIRE season's adventures in one go. To help you out, <a href = "https://www.gencon.com/events/97938" target = "_blank">click here</a> to see the event event on the Gen Con website.</p>
<p>Also on offer, lots of seminars and panels featuring Paizo staffers. A list of these can be found by searching "Paizo" on the Gen Con website. Featured events include Pathfinder Adventure Path Q&A, The Art of Pathfinder, Aunty Lisa's Story Hour(s) and Pathfinder in Space (Starfinder Panel).</p>
<h2>Upcoming Pathfinder Society Pawn Set</h2>
<p>The <a href = "/products/btpy9l30"><em>Pathfinder Society Pawns Collection</em></a> releases at Gen Con and includes art for many of the character archetypes for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Class Decks, as well as frequently occurring monsters in the Roleplaying Guild scenarios. A few of the pawns are for NPCs and monsters that haven't had art before.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Raheli.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Raheli_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Ekaterina Burmak</i></div>
<p>My favorite pawn is Raheli, the samsaran witch from the Adventure Card Game <em>Witch Deck</em>. With her flowing gowns and blue skin, she presents an otherworldly creature with awesome power. Go team witch!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Angban.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Angban_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Ekaterina Burmak</i></div>
<p>Tanis' favorite is Angban, from the upcoming <em>Gunslinger Deck</em>. In her words, "He's dope. He is a portable turret and the ultimate expression of dwarves artifice."</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Valis.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Valis_180.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Dion Harris</i></div>
<p>Linda's favorite is Valais Durant, a memorable character from two different Pathfinder Society scenarios. I don't want to spoil anything, but her personality is as eclectic as her appearance. She's one of my all-time favorite NPCs, and with the new art on this pawn, she's sure to make a memorable entrance.</p>
<p>What pawn do you want to see most?</p>
<p>Until next time—Explore, Report, Cooperate!</p>

Hopefully, the fun involved some roleplaying, particularly the next installment of the Seeker Arc, <a href = "/products/btpy9m01"><em>#7-26 All for Immortality, Part 2: All the God's Beyond</em></a>. We are currently busy in the office wrapping up July's adventures, prepping for Gen Con, and generally surviving the chaos of the con season in full gear.</p>
<h2>Necessary Headgear</h2>
<p>At the PaizoCon banquet, I had the pleasure of modeling a knitted cap with the Year of the Stolen Storm logo. Lead Editor Extraordinaire Judy Bauer developed the pattern and knitted me a cap. An awesome gift from Judy, as my knitting skills don't extend past holding the needles and looking at the yarn. It is our pleasure to share the pattern with you. Please, if you do make one, remember to give creative credit to Judy!</p>

<h2>Gen Con Events Going Fast!</h2>
<p>For those that haven't decided yet whether to attend Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana, from August 4-8, I'll add an incentive to the pot. You can still purchase tickets for Pathfinder Society events.</p>
<p>Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild offers quite a few of the Season 7 scenarios, as well as premiers of two special events and the first three scenarios in Season 8's Year of the Stolen Storm. As an incentive for getting up early, anyone attending the first session of Pathfinder Society game every day (8:00 AM on Thursday/Friday/Saturday and 9:00 AM Sunday) will get an extra token to use at the prize table. Prizes this year include gift certificates to paizo.com, hardcover rulebooks, Map Packs, boons, and a few surprises.</p>
<p>Some of our early morning offerings:</p>

<h2>Upcoming Pathfinder Society Pawn Set</h2>
<p>The <a href = "/products/btpy9l30"><em>Pathfinder Society Pawns Collection</em></a> releases at Gen Con and includes art for many of the character archetypes for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Class Decks, as well as frequently occurring monsters in the Roleplaying Guild scenarios. A few of the pawns are for NPCs and monsters that haven't had art before.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Raheli.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Raheli_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Ekaterina Burmak</i></div>
<p>My favorite pawn is Raheli, the samsaran witch from the Adventure Card Game <em>Witch Deck</em>. With her flowing gowns and blue skin, she presents an otherworldly creature with awesome power. Go team witch!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Angban.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Angban_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Ekaterina Burmak</i></div>
<p>Tanis' favorite is Angban, from the upcoming <em>Gunslinger Deck</em>. In her words, "He's dope. He is a portable turret and the ultimate expression of dwarves artifice."</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Valis.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderPawns/PZO1020-Valis_180.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Dion Harris</i></div>
<p>Linda's favorite is Valais Durant, a memorable character from two different Pathfinder Society scenarios. I don't want to spoil anything, but her personality is as eclectic as her appearance. She's one of my all-time favorite NPCs, and with the new art on this pawn, she's sure to make a memorable entrance.</p>
<p>What pawn do you want to see most?</p>
<p>Until next time—Explore, Report, Cooperate!</p>

<blockquote>
<p><b>1. Small Evils</b> So you're evil! But you're first level. That means you're probably the meanest fighter around... with a short sword, or the baddest wizard in town... with <i>magic missile</i>. Sure, you can still mess a few goody two-shoes up, but you're a ways off from indoctrination into the Hellknights or raising that army of the undead. So, part of my challenge with "The Hellfire Compact" was to highlight "small evils." While you'll find true devils and murderous monsters aplenty in the adventure, you'll also engage with wickedness rooted in simple greed, enviousness, resentment, alcoholism, bad parenting, and other all too familiar evils. You'll also be asked to commit evil acts, but slaying angels and good dragons aren't for you yet. Can you execute an innocent? Crush a town's faith? Murder a protective house spirit? Put an end to a pair of heroes' perfect retirement? Fight a puppy? Oh, there's still arrogant paladins and obnoxiously good outsiders to punish, but evil starts small and, as is often the case, might even be a little too familiar. If you're going to do this, you better think long and hard about why your character is hard as nails, because no one's Sauron at level one. So... do you have the stomach for evil?</p>
<p><b>2. Faux Western</b> I was halfway through writing this adventure before I realized, "Whoa! This is a western!" And it sort of is! While it's not set in a dusty, one-horse town, it's got pretty much everything else. Sheriff? Check. Ranchers? Check. Evil landowner? Check. Hanging? Check. Mounted combat? Check. Mysterious, masked good guy? Check. Gang of baddies terrifying innocent locals? That's you! It wasn't entirely intentional, but once I realized it, I sort of embraced it for the first and second acts. For the third act, well... there aren't a lot of tree forts in westerns, but two out of three ain't bad.</p>
<p><b>3. Final Countdown</b> There's revolution brewing in Longacre and you're in charge of stopping it. Your not being villains just to be villains, you're being villains to keep nastier villains in control. You have three weeks to bring the boot down on the burgeoning revolution and crush its sympathizers. You'll have to measure your deeds, making sure you're quelling the uprising and not driving more people to the rebel cause. If you do nothing, Longacre will be a revolutionary bastion in three weeks. If you act rashly, it might happen sooner. But if you measure ferocity and intimidation in the proper proportions, no one will ever step out of line in Longacre again.</p>
<p><b>4. Your Own Creepy Dream Home!</b> You're going to be in Longacre for a while, so you better have a place to stay—and, trust me, the local innkeeper doesn't want you. Fortunately there's a whole, unused, slightly dilapidated, probably not haunted house right on the outskirts of town just waiting for new owners. So, if you've always dreamed of owning your own personal Crimson Peak, now you can!
<p><b>5. Boy Dryads</b> The number of boy dryads in official Pathfinder products rises to two—and this one wants to teach you all about clonal colonies. (For Pathfinder's first "guyad," check out the <a href = "/products/btpy9e2e"><em>Pathfinder: Origins #5</em></a> comic.</p>
<p><b>6. @#$%-Up Some Leshys</b> Take that, adorable plant-people!</p>
<p><b>7. Strange Aeons Foreshadow</b> Six months from now, the Strange Aeons Adventure Path is going to start. I also wrote the first adventure for that AP. There's a single line in "The Hellfire Compact" that suggests a tragic event unfolding in Ustalav. Think you can guess what it is?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There's plenty more (and plenty worse) to come, but I'll let you read about it or play it yourself.</p>
<p><a href = "/products/btpy9j6n">"The Hellfire Compact"</a> comes out this month. And to help you prepare for the campaign, keep an eye out for the <em>Hell's Vengeance Player's Guide</em> later this month. Also, you might want to consider preordering <a href = "/products/btpy9ipr"><em>Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Path of the Hellknight</em></a>, another book I wrote all about playing characters who could fit perfectly into this campaign: Hellknights! (More details on that soon.)</p>
<p>So, if you've got the stomach for evil and more than just a thing for black armor, start your <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath/hellsVengeance">Hell's Vengeance</a> campaign with "The Hellfire Compact." The road to Hell starts here and it surely is paved with good intentions...</p>
<p>...Those of the paladins and cherubs you're about to crush.</p>
<p>Good luck, villains!</p>

<p>So, if you've got the stomach for evil and more than just a thing for black armor, start your <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath/hellsVengeance">Hell's Vengeance</a> campaign with "The Hellfire Compact." The road to Hell starts here and it surely is paved with good intentions...</p>
<p>...Those of the paladins and cherubs you're about to crush.</p>
<p>Good luck, villains!</p>

<p>Time flies when you're on a deadline every single month.</p>
<p itemprop="description">It surely doesn't feel like 100 months have passed since <a href = "/products/btpy7zkr">"Burnt Offerings,"</a> the first volume of the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath">Pathfinder Adventure Path</a>, showed up on my desk. A lot has changed for me in those 100 months—I've moved my place of residence, my job's moved ITS place of residence, I've lost more than 150 pounds, I've gained countless new friends and industry contacts, and more. It hasn't all been good—some friends are gone, some doors have closed, and as THEY are fond of saying, "mistakes were made." But sitting here now, looking at the 100th volume of Pathfinder, I can categorically state that overall, things have gone really quite well over those past 100 months. I couldn't be prouder of how this volume turned out... or more nervous, frankly. I hope folks like the adventure!</p>
<p>It was as early as <em>Wrath of the Righteous</em> that Erik Mona started putting the 100 Bug in my head, of course. At that time, it was still years in the future, but it was pretty obvious that, barring cataclysmic apocalypse-related events, we WERE going to make it to that stage. "What should we do for volume 100?" became an increasingly pressing question. The answer was more complicated than one might initially think, since the way math works meant that volume 100 of Pathfinder Adventure Path wouldn't coincide nicely with any other significant event—it wasn't going to be the first or last volume of an Adventure Path, nor would it sync up with any other notable Paizo-related anniversaries. It was, in fact, smack in the middle of an Adventure Path, and that raised some challenges.</p>
<p>The end result, of course, is now out for folks to see. <a href = "/products/btpy9grm">Pathfinder Adventure Path #100</a> is 32 pages longer than any other volume of the Adventure Path. It's the first one to contain a foldout poster (presenting an awesome depiction of the first 102 volumes of the Adventure Path along with a minis-scale map of an encounter area that plays a key role three times in the campaign—twice in this adventure!). It's the first one where we've spent more than half a page discussing one of the setting's most talked-about and mysterious characters—the dead god Aroden. (And no, we still don't tell you HOW he died.)</p>
<p>And of course, I fully admit to certain self-indulgences I made along the way. What's the point of being Creative Director if you can't claim volume 100's adventure as one you write? Or if you can't put one of your favorite characters in the adventure? Of course, I went even beyond that—I wrote the adventure, one of the commemorative NPCs, and two of the monsters (Adam will be around later to talk more about that half of the book and more). And I didn't just put one of my favorite characters in the adventure—I put her on the cover.</p>
<p>Anyway, enough about that! There's a lot more going on in <a href = "/products/btpy9grm">"A Song of Silver"</a> than my pet NPCs—so go grab your copy and check it out! Or if you don't have a copy handy yet... then check out some of the incredible art from volume 100 below!</p>

<p itemprop="description">Today the skies are shining overhead in Redmond, where in the Paizo office we've been recovering from a busy and exciting convention season. But we all know and feel the loom of pumpkin spice, sweaters, and clouds that's ahead from our respective desks.

<p>This month we're releasing our third Pathfinder Campaign Setting hardcover (under the Pathfinder RPG ruleset), <a href = "/products/btpy9g9v"><em>Inner Sea Races</em></a>. This 256-page volume delves into the history, culture, and powers of the the denizens of the Inner Sea, including in-depth coverage of the seven core races, and features of the uncommon races like goblins and tengu. You'll also find an array of new feats, spells, character traits and more to add flavor to your own character or home game.

<p>But what about the folks that just kicked off their own <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath/hellsRebels">Hell's Rebels</a> adventure? The second volume, <a href = "/products/btpy9gcx"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Path #98: Turn of the Torrent</em></a>, takes your rebel band of do-good "miscreants" through the paces as they gather allies and establish their might with the Silver Ravens. Evil is running through the streets of Kintargo, and I won't spoil it for you, but your group should <i>probably</i> get on that. For reasons. Your Hell's Rebels character might want to take some notes from this month's Player Companion, <a href = "/products/btpy9ghc"><em>Heroes of the Streets</em></a> for inspiration as well!</p>
<p>Maybe your group is more into throwing down some cards? The fifth installment of the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame/wrathOfTheRighteous"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Wrath of the Righteous</em></a> is coming out, and it's got demons. A <i>whole lot</i> of them. But what if you don't have a group? You might want to look into the <a href = "/pfsacg">Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild</a>, where you could bring our favorite monk, Sajan from the new <a href = "/products/btpy9dap"><em>Monk Class Deck</em></a>, to the table in fist-to-claw-claw-bite demon combat.</p>
<p>We also brought back the long-awaited <a href = "/products/btpy9fkg"><em>Pathfinder Combat Pad</em></a>! Now armed with more magnets, this latest printing helps keep tracking initiatives in your game just that much easier. And if this isn't the only reprint you've been holding out for, we're happy to announce the next two installments of our Pathfinder Flip-Mat Classics line, <a href = "/products/btpy9e20"><em>City Streets</em></a> and <a href = "/products/btpy9e22"><em>Prison</em></a>, are now available.</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">Wrath of the Righteous—The Long-Awaited "Adventure 7"</h1>
<p class = "date">Tuesday, August 25, 2015</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p itemprop = "description">Of all the questions we get asked about the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game</a>, one gets asked most often. It first showed up when we were coming close to releasing the last adventure in <em>Rise of the Runelords</em>, "Are you making any adventures for my characters who completed <em>Rise of the Runelords</em>?"</p>
<p>And Vic said, <a href = "/threads/rzs2r9wf">"There are no immediate plans for an official set where you can use your characters that have completed an AP."</a></p>
<p>Then we got asked it again as we came close to completing <em>Skull & Shackles</em>. "Are you making any adventures for my characters who completed <em>Skull & Shackles</em>?"</p>
<p>And Vic said, <a href= "/threads/rzs2rvz5&page=2?Questions-wed-like-to-ask-the-designers-about#67">"There are currently no plans for additional content for characters that have completed an Adventure Path."</a></p>
<p>And for the most part, that was true. But I said, as quietly as I could, so no one could hear, "Okay, but I <i>might</i> have some plans." In fact, it was...</p>
<h2>A Cunning Plan That Cannot Fail</h2>
<p>My plan was for my design team to do some shenanigans with the power curve on <em>Wrath of the Righteous</em>. Developer Chad Brown talks a lot about it in <a href = "/blog/v5748dyo5lhm4">this blog on power curves</a>. They have different curves: <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> is character-linear and difficulty-parabolic, while <em>Skull & Shackles</em> is difficulty-linear and character-parabolic. But both of them end in roughly the same place: a character who can go toe-to-toe with Karzoug the Claimer has a roughly similar chance against the Hurricane King. When you complete adventure 6 in either of those APs, you are a mighty hero indeed.</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href="https://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9077-Baphomet.jpg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9077-Baphomet_360.jpeg"></a><br /><i>Illustration by Ekaterina Burmak</i></div>
<p>The thing is, those sets couldn't just keep climbing, because they had maxed out their story progression. There wasn't anything more we could add to the cards in those sets other than more dice and higher difficulties, and eventually, that would be unsatisfying. Sure, it's fun to roll 12 dice once in a while, but if you're doing it on every turn, the high will soon mellow out.</p>
<p>You would need something else to build a spike in difficulty beyond where we were at the end of those APs. Thankfully, <em>Wrath</em> had "something else" in spades. It had cohorts, it had a d20, and it had Corrupted cards. All of those tweaked the power level without increasing the number of dice rolled. (You may notice I left something off that list. We'll get to that.)</p>
<p>And as we designed it, we realized that <em>Wrath</em> is a perfect place to bring your conquering heroes from the first two adventure paths, maybe using some of that nifty loot you got from completing those final adventures. You just need a few small tricks and a whole lot of gumption.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9076-DemonicAssassination.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9076-DemonicAssassination_360.jpeg"></a><br /><i>Illustration by Diego de Almeida</i></div>
<h2>How to Use Wrath as "Adventure 7"</h2>
<p>First, finish another Adventure Path, whether it's <em>Rise of the Runelords</em>, <em>Skull & Shackles</em>, <a href= "/pfsacg/products/season0">Season of the Shackles</a>, or one of the many homebrews. Record the state of your character on your downloadable character sheet, if you like. If you haven't finished an AP, go to the <a href = "/threads/rzs2r81m">Conquering Heroes</a> thread or the <a href = "/threads/rzs2s3bd">Conquering Pirates</a> thread and copy some of the ones you find there.</p>
<p>That's what we did, anyway. We grabbed Hawkmoon269's <a href = "/threads/rzs2r81m?Rise-of-the-Runelords-We-Need-A-Snapshot-of#2">Ezren</a>, Aolhelm's <a href = "/threads/rzs2r81m&page=2?Rise-of-the-Runelords-We-Need-A-Snapshot-of#51">Kyra</a>, and isaic16's <a href = "/threads/rzs2s3bd?Skull-Shackles-We-Need-a-Snapshot-of-Your#13">Merisiel</a> and <a href = "/threads/rzs2r81m?Rise-of-the-Runelords-We-Need-A-Snapshot-of#8">Seelah</a>. (Check out that not-so-paladinly weapons list!) Note that these were not optimized characters: Merisiel has some items that only work in <em>Skull & Shackles</em>, Ezren has a Divine spell, and so on. Where there was only one of something, we replaced it. (I particularly liked swapping the angel Ayruzi out for the demon Zuvuzeg on Seelah's list.) Otherwise, they went in as-is.</p>
<p>Second, get the <i><a href = "/products/btpy9a46">Wrath of the Righteous Base Set</a></i> and adventures <a href = "/products/btpy9b9r">2</a>, <a href = "/products/btpy9bs3">3</a>, and <a href = "/products/btpy9cu8">4</a>, plus the <i><a href = "/products/btpy9a47">Wrath Character Add-On Deck</i></a> if you have more than 4 characters (or just because you want to). Dump them into the box and then remove all the Basic cards. However, if there are Basic boons you specifically want to keep, do so. (I highly recommend keeping all the Blessings of Ascension. Trust me on this.)</p>
<p>Third, you know those mythic path cards I pointedly forgot to mention when I talked about Wrath's power curve? Yeah, screw 'em. You don't get mythic paths, because you're not the mythic heroes that blew up the wardstone in <em>Wrath</em>. You're the guys who beat Karzoug, for Pulura's sake. You don't need no stinkin' mythic paths.</p>
<p>But here's a tip: Even though you don't start with any mythic charges, you can still use them. Those Blessings of Ascension are great for generating charges, and every time you kill a mythic bane, you'll get one too. So when you find a Terraform or Anarchy Hammer, you can still power it up. Just get yourself some charges along the way. (A very small number of cards, like Lend Mythic Path, won't work at all. If you hit one of those, chuck it aside and draw a new card of the same type.)</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9077-Bestiary.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderAdventurePath/PZO9077-Bestiary_360.jpeg"></a><br /><i>Illustration by Jon Neimeister</i></div>
<p>Fourth, start with <a href="https://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lhwb">scenario 4-1: The Abyss Gazes Also</a>. You're going into the Abyss! After defeating Karzoug or the Hurricane King, you were drawn through a magic portal that chucked you into the pits of despair. Will you find your way home? Run through adventures 4, 5, and 6 and find out!</p>
<p>FYI: While you can keep all of your cards from the previous AP, treat any card in your deck that has an adventure deck number higher than the adventure deck number of the current scenario as if it had the adventure deck number of the scenario. (So when you're playing chapter 4 of <em>Wrath</em>, treat those cards from <em>RotR</em> or <em>S&S</em> 5 and 6 as if they're from Adventure Deck 4.) Why did your hexing suddenly drop in power, Feiya? You're in the Abyss! Things are crazy there.</p>
<p>Fifth, when you get a reward, claim it! But hey, what about when you've already checked your last card feat or power feat and you're awarded another one? Just make it a skill feat. We've done the math, so you're good there. When you're done with the final scenario of <em>Wrath</em> 6, your set of feat boxes will be real close to entirely filled in. Now that's a hero.</p>
<p>It's possible some of your power feats won't be particularly great in <em>Wrath</em>. (I'm looking at you, Pirate Queen Jirelle.) Well, life's tough in the Abyss. But if you want to make some mods, swapping out a trait like "Pirate" for one like "Aberration," fine. Just don't make a habit of it. The idea is that you're taking your characters from those adventures into the Abyss, so it's up to you to see how you survive. If you want to play a character that's <i>built</i> for <em>Wrath of the Righteous</em>, then start a character (be it Ezren, Jirelle, Sajan, or Lini) anew and enjoy it. This is explicitly for people who want to see what their <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> or <em>Skull & Shackles</em> conquerors would do if they pushed on to even more perilous heights (or depths, as the case may be).</p>
<p>Oh, and hey, now you have something to do with that loot you picked up at the end of the previous Adventure Path!</p>
<p>So that's "adventure 7." If you haven't picked up <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame/wrathOftheRighteous"><em>Wrath of the Righteous</em></a> and you're wondering what to do with your <em>Runelords</em> or <em>Shackles</em> characters now, give <em>Wrath</em> a try. You asked for a chance to adventure beyond set 6, and we've given it to you. It's your choice to take the plunge into the Abyss.</p>
<p>Don't say we didn't warn you.</p>

<p itemprop="description">The launch of the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath/hellsRebels">Hell's Rebels Adventure Path</a> is special for a number of reasons. Most significant, of course, is that this series will include the long-awaited issue number <i>100</i>! It's taken a lot of hard work from many talented people to get Pathfinder this far, and I am extremely grateful to have been here to see issue 100 take shape.</p>
<p>Also, because of the significance of this Adventure Path, we wanted to make it visually distinctive. No special Paizo project would be complete without the brilliant work of Wayne Reynolds, and this time we were also fortunate to have the talented Eva Widermann involved to paint some beautiful design elements for the cover and interior pages. Between those two superstars, as well as the numerous artists working on the interior illustrations, this is our most beautiful Adventure Path yet.</p>

<p>And on a personal level, this series is significant for me because it will unfortunately be the last one I work on.

<p itemprop="description">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.

<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p itemprop="description">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!</p>

<p>Here are some of my favorite images from Mummy's Mask (and a couple from <a href = "/products/btpy92lx"><i>People of the Sands</i></a>).

<h1 itemprop="headline">Unleash the Krake... Undead!</h1>
<p class="date">Tuesday, September 9, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p><span itemprop="description">In mere weeks the most vile undead masterminds of the Inner Sea region (and one that's actually pretty nice most of the time) will be released upon unsuspecting PCs everywhere. <a href = "/products/btpy991t"><i>Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Undead Unleashed</i></a> features 15 unique undead creatures ranging from CR 3 to CR 23, as well as maps of their lairs, details on their minions, histories, and current plans. While not exactly adventures, each lair provides enough information that a Game Master can easily build an adventure within. Each undead is designed to be modular enough that a trek through its lair can help a party bridge a gap between levels or fill a night when some members of a gaming group can't make it. At the same time, their rich backstories provide GMs with enough plot hooks and secret motivations to make even the CR 3 ghast villain the mastermind behind an entire adventure.</span></p>
<p>This book gave us the opportunity to detail several characters first mentioned in the earliest days of Pathfinder, about whom fans have been asking questions for years. Want to know more about Walkena, the child mummy god of the Mwangi Expanse? He's in here. How about Erum-Hel, the mythic Lord of Mohrgs, whose defeat at Iomedae's hands is considered one of her holy Acts? He's in here. What about the Wight Mother of Isger, who spreads disease and undeath from Finder's Gulch in Isger? You guessed it—we included her as well.</p>
<p>As to who the other 13 undead creatures are, you'll just have to wait and see, but here are a few pieces of amazing art from the book to whet your appetites further (and provide a few hints at the creatures' types, if not their specific identities).</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">Unleash the Krake... Undead!</h1>
<p class="date">Tuesday, September 9, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p><span itemprop="description">In mere weeks the most vile undead masterminds of the Inner Sea region (and one that's actually pretty nice most of the time) will be released upon unsuspecting PCs everywhere. <a href = "/products/btpy991t"><i>Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Undead Unleashed</i></a> features 15 unique undead creatures ranging from CR 3 to CR 23, as well as maps of their lairs, details on their minions, histories, and current plans. While not exactly adventures, each lair provides enough information that a Game Master can easily build an adventure within. Each undead is designed to be modular enough that a trek through its lair can help a party bridge a gap between levels or fill a night when some members of a gaming group can't make it. At the same time, their rich backstories provide GMs with enough plot hooks and secret motivations to make even the CR 3 ghast villain the mastermind behind an entire adventure.</span></p>
<p>This book gave us the opportunity to detail several characters first mentioned in the earliest days of Pathfinder, about whom fans have been asking questions for years. Want to know more about Walkena, the child mummy god of the Mwangi Expanse? He's in here. How about Erum-Hel, the mythic Lord of Mohrgs, whose defeat at Iomedae's hands is considered one of her holy Acts? He's in here. What about the Wight Mother of Isger, who spreads disease and undeath from Finder's Gulch in Isger? You guessed it—we included her as well.</p>
<p>As to who the other 13 undead creatures are, you'll just have to wait and see, but here are a few pieces of amazing art from the book to whet your appetites further (and provide a few hints at the creatures' types, if not their specific identities).</p>

<span itemprop="description"><p>In this volume of the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path the PCs journey to the Abyss at the behest of Queen Galfrey to get to the bottom of the sinister plots before them. While there the PCs visit the Midnight Isles where they have to gain notoriety in order to obtain a meeting with the realm's ruler—Nocticula, demon lord of assassins, darkness, and lust. Even though Nocticula allows nearly anyone into her realm, not all of the denizens there are going to be happy to see the PCs poking around the Abyss. Though this animosity might make things more difficult for the PCs, it certainly helps them gain notoriety. Getting into fights with demons, openly showing affiliation to lawful or good deities and organizations, and competing in blood sports all helps earn notoriety. For example, the PCs can earn a solid chunk of notoriety if they enter the arena of Battlebliss and defeat its reigning champion Gelderfang. Can the PCs pilot a safe course through the intrigues of the Midnight Isles to achieve victory? Until you can get your hands on <a href="https://paizo.com/products/btpy8z6x">Pathfinder Adventure Path #76: The Midnight Isles</a> to find out, enjoy these fine illustrations.</p></span>
