<p itemprop="description">Happy New Year, Pathfinders! While it’s been nice to have a few weeks to spend with our families, we’re all back in the office• and ready to kick 2021 into high gear.

<p>News of this monster•• leaked over the summer, and we were coy about it in large part because we weren’t quite sure exactly how it was going to turn out. But WizKids took the entire pickle jar with this one, and we’re finally thrilled to be able to show it off.</p>
<p>While I could post some digital mock-ups of the goblin like we do with many of our miniature previews, that would hardly do justice to this marvel, so I asked Paizo’s Chief Creative Officer and Publisher, Erik Mona, to get a few pictures of the lone copy of the life-size goblin we have in the office•, which he’s jealously guarded since he first got ahold of it in September.</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">PACG at Origins and Free RPG Day!</h1>
<p class="date" style="margin-bottom:1rem !important;">Friday, June 14, 2019</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<div class="blurbCenter" style="display: none;"><a href="https://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20190405-Preview.jpg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20190405-Preview_500.jpeg"></a></div>
<p itemprop="description">Greetings from Columbus, Ohio! This is a brief blog to let you know what the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game doings are at <a href = "https://www.originsgamefair.com" target="_blank">Origins Game Fair</a> (in Columbus) and on <a href="https://www.freerpgday.com" target="_blank">Free RPG Day</a> (at participating retailers worldwide) this weekend.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "https://originsgamefair.com" target = "_blank"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20190614-Origins.jpg"></a></div>
<p>At Origins, there's PACG play in the Franklin Rooms pretty much all the time. If you're here and you haven't seen the new <a href = "/products/btq01ws7?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Core-Set"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Core Set</em></a> and <a href = "/products/btq01ws8?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Adventure-Path"><em>Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path</em></a>, now's your chance to dive in. Plus, you'll be able to play all 4 scenarios of The Fangwood Thieves, the new Season of the Kobolds adventure for Pathfinder Adventure Card Society. (If you've never played PACS before, this is a great place to start!) It's a rollicking good time.</p>
<p>I'll be here throughout the weekend, mostly doing my annual nightly broadcast from the Big Bar on 2 with my co-hosts Paul Peterson and Gaby Weidling (remember them?). If you like lots of guests and assorted silliness, tune into the <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/lonesharkgames" target="_blank">Lone Shark Games Twitch channel</a> each night. Last night's broadcast should already be up!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "/products/btq01yju?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-We-Be-Heroes"><img src = "https://cdn.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO9500-16_500.jpeg"></a>
</div>
<p>And then on Saturday, it's Free RPG Day! As I mentioned in <a href="https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sgki?PACG-Starring-Not-Your-Typical-Goblins">a previous blog</a>, we took this opportunity to write a whole new goblin adventure using the <em>Core Set</em>! <a href = "/products/btq01yju?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-We-Be-Heroes"><em>We Be Heroes?</em></a> is a weird, wild adventure of good-guy gobbos dealing with paladins, undead, and strange chickens. It includes 4 new goblin characters, though you can play it with any of the 159 (!) other PACG characters we've released over the years. You'll like it. Pick it up at any participating store or try it at Origins. If you can't get to one of those locations, though, don't worry—starting July 1, you'll be able to download the FREE PDF or buy a print copy from paizo.com.</p>
<p>We're also pleased to announce that <em>We Be Heroes?</em> is officially sanctioned for Pathfinder Adventure Card Society play. Just download this <a href = "https://paizo-images.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/image/download/PZO9500-16-Rules.zip">sanctioning document</a> (218 KB zip/PDF), which describes the adjustments you need to make the adventure PACS-legal. (We will soon be issuing similar sanctioning documents for <em>The Dragon's Demand</em> and <em>Curse of the Crimson Throne</em>.)</p>
<p>Since We Be Heroes? is for starting characters, it didn't make sense to include roles for our new goblin heroes in that adventure. But we will be releasing them online so you can take them all the way through any Adventure Path—if you can keep them alive, that is. We're doing something very new for these: One of the two roles you can choose for each goblin uses a concept called goblin markers. Here's how they work: Each goblin picks a pattern of marker that's theirs. When various circumstances occur (such as Crimsi examining a barrier or Siathorn stealing an Animal ally from another character), they get to mark their character with one of their goblin markers. Feats allow them to count and spend the markers for all manner of craziness, such as the Kitbasher Crimsi letting a friend examine the top card of a few location decks then move to one of them. (Crimsi's friend will probably take only a small amount of damage in the process; I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were Crimsi.) There are only 7 of each marker in the box, so no goblin can have more than 7—unless you're playing Pizazz, who has a feat that lets him swipe a marker from another goblin to heal himself.</p>
<p>It's going to be a fun weekend! Hope to see you at Origins and Free RPG Day!</p>

<p itemprop="description">Over here at Pathfinder Adventure Card Game HQ, we're getting very excited. The new <a href = "/products/btq01ws7?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Core-Set"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Core Set</em> and the <a href = "/products/btq01ws8?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Adventure-Path"><em>Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path</em></a> are due for release in May. So we've got news about your PACG subscription!</p>
<p>Both of these sets are part of the main <a href = "/products/btpy8x6n?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Subscription">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscription</a>. If you aren't already a subscriber, now's a great time to start. You currently have 3 choices for starting your subscription:</p>
<ul><li>If you choose to start your sub with the previous release—the <a href = "/products/btpy9xdn?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Ultimate-Wilderness-AddOn-Deck"><em>Ultimate Wilderness Add-On</em></a> Deck—you'll also score a free copy of last year's Free RPG Day promo character, Nok Nok.</li>
<li>If you choose to start with the <em>Core Set</em>, you'll get both the <em>Core Set</em> and <em>Curse of Crimson Throne</em>.</li>
<li>If you choose to start with <em>Curse of the Crimson Throne</em>, we won't send you the <em>Core Set</em>; this option is especially useful for non-US subscribers who want to get most of the subscription benefits without having to pay the unfortunately hefty international shipping fees for Core, which weighs in at a bit over 4 pounds.</li></ul>
<p>And what are the benefits? Subscribers get 20% off the MSRP of their subscription products, <em>plus</em> subscribers occasionally get free promo cards.</p>

<p>What? "Embiggen" is totally in the OED. Look it up!</p>
</div>
<p>Yes, promo cards! There are six new promo cards for these products. Subscribers will get all six along with their subscription shipment of <em>Curse of the Crimson Throne</em>. They will also be available in these ways:</p>
<ul><li>Four of the six—the blessing The Real Rabbit Prince, the weapon The Tall Knife, the item The Unveiling, and the ally Asyra—are in a special <em>Curse of the Crimson Throne</em> promo pack we're sending out to retailers as part of a special launch kit in May. (If you're hoping to procure these from your favorite retailer, make sure they're ordering the launch kit from their distributor!)</li>
<li>The armor Corpse Plate will be available at larger Pathfinder Society events in the next year, starting at <a href = "/paizocon">PaizoCon</a> on May 24.</li>
<li>The spell Embiggen will appear in an upcoming issue of Game Trade magazine.</li></ul>

<p>Free RPG Day is June 15, less than a month after we release <em>Core</em> and <em>Curse</em>. So we've got a special treat: goblins! OK, sure, we've done a goblin character every Free RPG Day for years. So what makes this year different?</p>
<p>We're not just releasing a character—we're releasing a storybook. <a href = "/products/btq01yju?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-We-Be-Heroes"><em>We Be Heroes?</em></a> is an 8-page storybook for the new <em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Core Set</em>. It's a PACG adaptation of the Pathfinder Module of the same name being released at the same time for use with the Pathfinder RPG. It features four new heroic goblin characters from the Crookedtoes tribe: the barbarian Grenek, the ranger Crimsi, the druid Siathorn, and the bard Pizazz.</p>

</div>
<p>They're not terribly good at being good, but they're working on it. Their opportunity comes when a group of paladins get in trouble, and our heroes need to get them out alive. Can they defeat the Blasted Chicken that squawks in their way? Only you can help them.</p>
<p>Oh, also, Siathorn has this wolf cohort.</p>

<p>Totally a wolf.</p>
</div>
<p>If you can't make it to a participating store for Free RPG Day, don't worry: starting July 1, you can get the PDF for free from paizo.com, or you can pay a mere $3 for the print edition.</p>
<p>So all that's very exciting! We hope you'll sign up for that subscription and get those promo cards, then keep an eye out for <a href = "/products/btq01yju?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-We-Be-Heroes"><em>We Be Heroes?</em></a> in June. It's all coming soon!</p>

<p itemprop="description">Over here at Pathfinder Adventure Card Game HQ, we're getting very excited. The new <a href = "/products/btq01ws7?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Core-Set"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Core Set</em> and the <a href = "/products/btq01ws8?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Adventure-Path"><em>Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path</em></a> are due for release in May. So we've got news about your PACG subscription!</p>
<p>Both of these sets are part of the main <a href = "/products/btpy8x6n?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Subscription">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscription</a>. If you aren't already a subscriber, now's a great time to start. You currently have 3 choices for starting your subscription:</p>
<ul><li>If you choose to start your sub with the previous release—the <a href = "/products/btpy9xdn?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Ultimate-Wilderness-AddOn-Deck"><em>Ultimate Wilderness Add-On</em></a> Deck—you'll also score a free copy of last year's Free RPG Day promo character, Nok Nok.</li>
<li>If you choose to start with the <em>Core Set</em>, you'll get both the <em>Core Set</em> and <em>Curse of Crimson Throne</em>.</li>
<li>If you choose to start with <em>Curse of the Crimson Throne</em>, we won't send you the <em>Core Set</em>; this option is especially useful for non-US subscribers who want to get most of the subscription benefits without having to pay the unfortunately hefty international shipping fees for Core, which weighs in at a bit over 4 pounds.</li></ul>
<p>And what are the benefits? Subscribers get 20% off the MSRP of their subscription products, <em>plus</em> subscribers occasionally get free promo cards.</p>

(If you're hoping to procure these from your favorite retailer, make sure they're ordering the launch kit from their distributor!)</li>
<li>The armor Corpse Plate will be available at larger Pathfinder Society events in the next year, starting at <a href = "/paizocon">PaizoCon</a> on May 24.</li>

<p>Before we get into this week's blog, we have a couple of things we want to share with you!</p>
<p>First, we have a massive <a href = "/store/sale/adventureCardGameSale">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game sale</a> running through April 30. You can get complete PACG Adventure Paths—the Base Set, all 5 additional Adventure Decks, and the Character Add-On Deck—for the price of the Base Set alone. Choose the <a href = "/products/btpya0aw?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Skull-Shackles-Collection">Skull & Shackles Collection</a>, the <a href = "/products/btpya0ax?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Wrath-of-the-Righteous-Collection">Wrath of the Righteous Collection</a>, and the <a href = "/products/btpya0ay?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Mummys-Mask-Collection">Mummy's Mask Collection</a>! You'll also find the first 19 <a href = "/store/pathfinder/adventureCardGame/expansions/classDecks">Class Decks</a> (up through Warpriest) on sale for 50% off through the end of the month!</p>
<p>Next, let's spill the beans on this year's Free RPG Day promo character, Nok-Nok:</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter" style = "padding: 15px;"><a href = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-NokNok.jpg"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-NokNok_360.jpeg"></a></div>
<p style = "clear: both;">Nok-Nok comes to us from <em>Pathfinder: Kingmaker</em>, the party-based, single-player, isometric computer RPG coming this summer from <a href = "http://owlcatgames.com" target = "_blank">Owlcat Games</a>! (<a href = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mP0AxgTZEA" target = "_blank">Don't miss their new trailer here!</a>)</p>
<p>Nok-Nok's PACG incarnation will initially be available for free at stores participating in <a href = "http://freerpgday.com" target = "_blank">Free RPG Day</a> on June 16. We will then send him free to <a href = "/products/btpy8x6n?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Subscription">subscribers of the main Pathfinder Adventure Card Game line</a> alongside the <a href = "/products/btpy9xdn?Pathfinder-Adventure-Card-Game-Ultimate-Wilderness-AddOn-Deck"><em>Ultimate Wilderness Add-On Deck</em></a> in July. After that, he'll be available for sale on paizo.com and at our Gen Con booth in August.</p>
<p>Now, I'll cede the floor to Tyler <a href = "/people/cartmanbeck">"Cartmanbeck" Beck</a>, our new Venture-Captain for Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild Online Play</b>!</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Tyler</b>: <span itemprop = "description">It's hard to believe that the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game was released almost five years ago now. The game has evolved through four full base sets and dozens of character and add-on decks, and has been the focus of a successful organized play campaign.</span></p>
<p>Speaking of that organized play campaign, in the recent 5.0 release of the <a href = "/products/btpy98no?Pathfinder-Society-Adventure-Card-Guild-Guide"><em>Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild Guide</em></a>, the option was added for online play. I know a few people have been asking things like "What?" and "How?" and "Really?" Thus far, the answer to all of those questions has been "Let's take it slow." So to that end, the Card Guild has become a (relatively small) part of the <a href = "/threads/rzs2ut7s?Announcing-OutPost-I-Back-to-the-Future">OutPost play-by-post gaming convention</a>, currently being held right here on the Paizo forums. We've currently got 11 tables running currently, with several box runners (BRs) each running one or more tables of PACG newbies and veterans alike. I'd like to introduce you to two BRs who will tell you a bit about how things work.</p>
<p><b>Ray (<a href = "/people/redeux">redeux</a> on the forums)</b>: Most of my experiences so far have been as a player at one of the play-by-post tables. It's been a blast! Five of us has been working through <a href = "/store/pathfinder/pathfinderSociety/pfsacg/season2">Season of the Runelords</a>, and over the course of several months we've progressed all the way to tier 5. I'm fortunate enough to also have a local group that gets together for organized play, but what I like about the online play-by-post is that it can be done from anywhere, and it takes much less time out of my day spread throughout a week rather than all in one afternoon. In that regard, it has been super convenient to get a little dose of PACG on a regular basis without straining my schedule. The format also makes it easy to back to look back and check what happened, like that time <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=25#1219">Kyra unleashed a fire attack with her sword, making sure her fire-loving goblin teammate Reta was nowhere in sight so she wouldn't get any heated ideas</a>.</p>
<p>With the OutPost event, we have been working hard to expose more people to the play-by-post format for PACG. I'm currently running two tables for the event, and I have players from the US, UK, Asia, and Australia, which shows that the game can be played globally. Some of my players are fairly experienced with the ACG, other players have a lot of experience with the RPG but little ACG, and a few started with little to no experience with either. We all work together to help everyone learn and overcome the scenarios!</p>
<p>Let's tackle how it all works. As Tyler mentioned, one person runs the box. This is currently is being handled through a database that contains the card information for each scenario. The database is able to build locations, shuffle them, move cards around, and manage just about anything you need to do during a normal ACG scenario. The scenario is then posted on the campaign page, looking <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=5#219">something like this</a>:</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot1.jpg"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot1_500.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>The scenario post has all of the "During this Adventure" and "During this Scenario" text in it, as well as turn info, blessing deck info, and location/location deck info. All of the cards in the location decks are hidden through spoilers. This allows players to explore multiple times in their turn without waiting for a new card to be presented to them.</p>
<p>Players use a <a href = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12e_Cu06pPyIGrsIurW4K3JAYLzxGl4As0DgD92eHpPA/edit?usp=sharing" target = "_blank">Deck Handler spreadsheet on Google Docs that handles drawing cards from your deck, discarding, recharging, burying, shuffling, etc. (Tyler provides some instruction on how to use it <a href = "/threads/rzs2utd5?Ever-wanted-to-play-PACG-over-playbypost#30">here</a>. The Deck Handler includes only card names, so you still need to have a physical deck to reference the card text. It provides an easy way to let everyone know what cards you have in hand, and what blessings or other cards you are willing to let people use on their turns. When you finish your turn, it gives you templated text to paste into the forum to communicate your decisions.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot2.jpg"></div>
<p><b>Mark (<a href = "/people/MorkXII">MorkXII</a> on the forums)</b>: During last year's online runthrough of the Cosmic Captive PFS Special, I was able to join <a href = "/campaigns/PathfinderACG800CosmicCaptiveTable1TIER13">one</a> of <a href = "/campaigns/PathfinderACG800CosmicCaptiveTable2TIER13">two</a> ACG tables run during the event and had an amazing time, and I couldn't wait to do it again. When I missed the chance to play in a <a href = "/campaigns/ADVENTURECARDGUILDSeason2B1WeBeGoblins/gameplay&page=1">Season of the Goblins game> that Tyler started in November, I asked him if I could run my own table. He agreed, so I recruited four players (and a fifth joined later) to play through <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=1">Season of the Runelords</a>. That campaign is still going: the group has finished 23 scenarios in roughly 100 days, and we're on track to finish the entire Adventure Path by the end of OutPost on April 30.</p>
<p>Playing the ACG by forum post is obviously not the same as playing in-person: the pace is much slower, and sometimes it's tricky to collaborate on group efforts, such as who's handling temporary closes and multi-check encounters, and who's supplying all the blessings. Some rules and scenarios are a little tougher to implement for forum play and take an extra bit of effort or creative thinking (I'm looking at you, <a href = "/products/btpy9m9j?Pathfinder-Society-Adventure-Card-Guild-Adventure-23-Into-the-Mountain">Adventure #2-3C</a>!). But overall the game still works well in this format, and the slower pace also means you spend more time getting to know the group than you would around a table. Early in our Season of the Runelords game, we moved most of our game discussion to a Google Hangouts chat to allow for more real-time discussion. This made it easier to plan out those group efforts, but also enabled more off-topic and personal discussion, and it's been wonderful getting to know some other Pathfinder fans from around the world.</p>
<p>The slower pace of play also means that everyone has more time to take their turns, and many players put in effort to go beyond just listing what cards they encounter and play. The roleplaying and storytelling are my favourite part of playing a game online because it's so entertaining to read! When Reta <a href = "/campaigns/ACGOutPostIMorkXIIsSeasonOfTheGoblins/gameplay#28">fell into a giant pit</a> and dragged all her goblin friends along with her, it made for a series of very fun posts. And a different Reta seemed very pleased with herself when she <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=30#1463">clubbed the villain over the head with a Lamia henchman</a>. (At least she didn't offer anyone any of her... <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=16#761">questionable</a> <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=30#1499">pickles</a> that time).</p>
<p>And playing online, you still get the same exciting moments that you always get from Pathfinder. Who doesn't love <a hrf = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=5#225">clearing out an entire location deck in a single turn</a>? Or <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=10#465">blasting away the villain on a last-ditch effort</a> with just one blessing left in the deck?</p>
<p><b>Tyler</b>: We have a vibrant community of players on the Paizo play-by-post forums, and I'm excited that we've been able to add Pathfinder Adventure Card Game play to that community. As OutPost winds down at month end, watch for new developments on the forums and more ways to play PACG in play-by-post form yourselves!</p>

The format also makes it easy to back to look back and check what happened, like that time <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=25#1219">Kyra unleashed a fire attack with her sword, making sure her fire-loving goblin teammate Reta was nowhere in sight so she wouldn't get any heated ideas</a>.</p>
<p>With the OutPost event, we have been working hard to expose more people to the play-by-post format for PACG. I'm currently running two tables for the event, and I have players from the US, UK, Asia, and Australia, which shows that the game can be played globally. Some of my players are fairly experienced with the ACG, other players have a lot of experience with the RPG but little ACG, and a few started with little to no experience with either. We all work together to help everyone learn and overcome the scenarios!</p>
<p>Let's tackle how it all works. As Tyler mentioned, one person runs the box. This is currently is being handled through a database that contains the card information for each scenario. The database is able to build locations, shuffle them, move cards around, and manage just about anything you need to do during a normal ACG scenario. The scenario is then posted on the campaign page, looking <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=5#219">something like this</a>:</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot1.jpg"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot1_500.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>The scenario post has all of the "During this Adventure" and "During this Scenario" text in it, as well as turn info, blessing deck info, and location/location deck info. All of the cards in the location decks are hidden through spoilers. This allows players to explore multiple times in their turn without waiting for a new card to be presented to them.</p>
<p>Players use a <a href = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12e_Cu06pPyIGrsIurW4K3JAYLzxGl4As0DgD92eHpPA/edit?usp=sharing" target = "_blank">Deck Handler spreadsheet on Google Docs that handles drawing cards from your deck, discarding, recharging, burying, shuffling, etc. (Tyler provides some instruction on how to use it <a href = "/threads/rzs2utd5?Ever-wanted-to-play-PACG-over-playbypost#30">here</a>. The Deck Handler includes only card names, so you still need to have a physical deck to reference the card text. It provides an easy way to let everyone know what cards you have in hand, and what blessings or other cards you are willing to let people use on their turns. When you finish your turn, it gives you templated text to paste into the forum to communicate your decisions.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><img src = "//cdn.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20180405-Screenshot2.jpg"></div>
<p><b>Mark (<a href = "/people/MorkXII">MorkXII</a> on the forums)</b>: During last year's online runthrough of the Cosmic Captive PFS Special, I was able to join <a href = "/campaigns/PathfinderACG800CosmicCaptiveTable1TIER13">one</a> of <a href = "/campaigns/PathfinderACG800CosmicCaptiveTable2TIER13">two</a> ACG tables run during the event and had an amazing time, and I couldn't wait to do it again. When I missed the chance to play in a <a href = "/campaigns/ADVENTURECARDGUILDSeason2B1WeBeGoblins/gameplay&page=1">Season of the Goblins game> that Tyler started in November, I asked him if I could run my own table. He agreed, so I recruited four players (and a fifth joined later) to play through <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=1">Season of the Runelords</a>. That campaign is still going: the group has finished 23 scenarios in roughly 100 days, and we're on track to finish the entire Adventure Path by the end of OutPost on April 30.</p>
<p>Playing the ACG by forum post is obviously not the same as playing in-person: the pace is much slower, and sometimes it's tricky to collaborate on group efforts, such as who's handling temporary closes and multi-check encounters, and who's supplying all the blessings. Some rules and scenarios are a little tougher to implement for forum play and take an extra bit of effort or creative thinking (I'm looking at you, <a href = "/products/btpy9m9j?Pathfinder-Society-Adventure-Card-Guild-Adventure-23-Into-the-Mountain">Adventure #2-3C</a>!). But overall the game still works well in this format, and the slower pace also means you spend more time getting to know the group than you would around a table. Early in our Season of the Runelords game, we moved most of our game discussion to a Google Hangouts chat to allow for more real-time discussion. This made it easier to plan out those group efforts, but also enabled more off-topic and personal discussion, and it's been wonderful getting to know some other Pathfinder fans from around the world.</p>
<p>The slower pace of play also means that everyone has more time to take their turns, and many players put in effort to go beyond just listing what cards they encounter and play. The roleplaying and storytelling are my favourite part of playing a game online because it's so entertaining to read! When Reta <a href = "/campaigns/ACGOutPostIMorkXIIsSeasonOfTheGoblins/gameplay#28">fell into a giant pit</a> and dragged all her goblin friends along with her, it made for a series of very fun posts. And a different Reta seemed very pleased with herself when she <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=30#1463">clubbed the villain over the head with a Lamia henchman</a>. (At least she didn't offer anyone any of her... <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=16#761">questionable</a> <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=30#1499">pickles</a> that time).</p>
<p>And playing online, you still get the same exciting moments that you always get from Pathfinder. Who doesn't love <a hrf = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=5#225">clearing out an entire location deck in a single turn</a>? Or <a href = "/campaigns/ACGSeasonOfTheRunelords/gameplay&page=10#465">blasting away the villain on a last-ditch effort</a> with just one blessing left in the deck?</p>
<p><b>Tyler</b>: We have a vibrant community of players on the Paizo play-by-post forums, and I'm excited that we've been able to add Pathfinder Adventure Card Game play to that community. As OutPost winds down at month end, watch for new developments on the forums and more ways to play PACG in play-by-post form yourselves!</p>

<p>Reepazo is a Goblin Bugzapper. No, really. She combines two elements that surprisingly rarely coincide in the Pathfinder universe: she can turn herself into a bug, and she can turn you into a bug. Basically, everybody's a bug. It's Free BUG Day!</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">Goblins Again?!</h1>
<p class="date">Tuesday, July 12, 2016</p>
<div itemprop = "articlebody">
<p itemprop = "description">Before I jump into this week's preview of the upcoming <a href = "/products/btpy9k5m"><em>Goblins Burn!</em> deck</a>, I would like to mention that several Paizo products have been <a href = "http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/2016-ennie-award-nominees-and-spotlight-winners" target = "_blank">nominated for ENnie awards</a>, including the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame/wrathOfTheRighteous"><em>Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Card Game Base Set</em></a>. I encourage you to visit the <a href = "http://www.ennie-awards.com/vote/2016/" target = "_blank">ENnies 2016 Election page</a> to cast your votes.</p>
<p>On to <a href = "/products/btpy9k5m"><em>Goblins Burn!</em></a> Three new goblin characters appear in this deck. Mogmurch earned his title of arsonist through his love of bombs and other thrown substances, burning a wide swath through his enemies. Poog, warcaster of the Licktoad tribe, goes everywhere with his trusty toad, Flybreath, and his prior pet, Dogfinder, calling on the blessings of Zarongel to see him through tough spots. And Zibini tells fortunes for a living, looking into her trusty crystal ball for what is to come. Be careful not to rouse her to anger, for her piercing gaze gives a headache to even the toughest goblins.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-ZibiniTknFront.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-ZibiniTknFront_180.jpeg" /></a>
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-ZibiniFront.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-ZibiniFront_360.jpeg" /></a></div>
<p>The characters in <a href = "/products/btpy9k5m"><em>Goblins Burn!</em></a> largely rely on spells to seize the day. One such spell, Burning Snot, really captures the essence of goblin spellcasting: take a deep breath and let it fly! Another awesome spell, Oozikinesis, allows the caster to cover anything in slime. Boon or bane, the goo gets them all!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-BurningSnot.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-BurningSnot_180.jpeg" /></a>
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-Oozikinesis.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-Oozikinesis_180.jpeg" /></a></div>
<p>Of course, spells aren't going to solve every problem. For those times the characters just cannot get out of the way, there are pot helms and horn armor to save their hides. These prime examples of goblin ingenuity and dumpster diving are made from only the finest junk—the helmet even doubles as a stewpot!
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-PotHelm.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-PotHelm_180.jpeg" /></a>
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-HornLamellar.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-HornLamellar_180.jpeg" /></a></div>
<p>There are also plenty of new items to capture the goblin spirit. For those in need of a bit of extra assistance, the Skill Slug is a tasty treat that really helps out. And as with <a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight!</em></a>, each goblin has a frog ally.</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href="https://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-SkillSlug.jpg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6818-SkillSlug_180.jpeg" /></a>

<p itemprop="description">Everyone knows that the surest way to improve the quality of any tabletop game is to invite the wholesome goodness• of goblins into your home, and your heart••. For this year's Free RPG Day, Paizo did just that, by delivering the whimsical prequel to our <em>We Be Goblins</em> series of adventures: <a href = "/products/btpy9j4r"><em>We B4 Goblins</em></a>. This lighthearted coming-of-age tale takes your players back in time to adolescence of our iconic goblin heroes•••, where they can help these young adventurers reach adulthood by claiming their toads and joining in on their very first raid in a scenario ideal for introducing new players!</p>
<p>And now, <a href = "/products/btpy9j4r"><em>We B4 Goblins</em></a> is available to YOU free of charge on your paizo.com account!</p>
<p>As happens alarmingly often with these adorable••• little tykes, we have more goblins than can reasonably fit in the space provided!

<h1 itemprop="headline">Goblins Cut and Goblins Fight!</h1>
<p class="date">Tuesday, July 5, 2016</p>
<div itemprop="articlebody">
<p itemprop="description">Ever since we published <a href = "">Ranzak</a> as the first promo character, goblin fever has surrounded the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. And now that we are almost ready to release two full goblin decks into the wild, we can take a moment to peel back the (literal) veil on <a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight</em></a>!</p>
<p>The cast of characters include two faces familiar to fans of the <a href = "/pathfinder/modules/freeRPGDay"><em>We Be Goblins</em> Pathfinder Modules</a>: Reta, the female goblin commando with her stolen wedding veil; and Chuffy, the male goblin knifer covered in exploding pustules. Rounding out the triumvirate of fighting goblins is Ak, who comes to us from the fifth issue of Dynamite's <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/goblins">Pathfinder Goblins!</a> comic. Ak is a male goblin runt with the most wretched expression ever worn by a goblin—this stems from his being average at fighting and incompetent with magic, compared to his compatriots. Fortunately, he is blessed by the goblin gods and can bring some well-timed assistance to the table.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-AkFront.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-AkFront_360.jpeg"></a>
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-AkTokenFront.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-AkTokenFront_180.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>And what would the Licktoad goblins be without their tribe's namesake? Each goblin has a pet frog ally that helps cause mayhem in the most civilized setting. Chuffy carries Fat Frog, who is springy and sprongy like our favorite sneaky goblin. Spotol accompanies Reta, strengthening her Constitution. (Reta likes Spotol so much that she even gave him his own white veil!) Ak's favorite toad, Redbutt, confers Strength on his owner. Everything is easier to face with your pet at your side.</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href="https://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-Redbutt.jpg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-Redbutt_180.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustration by Marko Horvatin</i></div>
<p><a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight!</em></a> expands the choice of blessings. Many of the new blessings feature cool stained-glass art, including Blessing of the Boss, Blessing of Lady Lastbreath, and Blessing of Bark Breaker. Of course, what would a goblin deck be without a blessing just for them? Blessing of the Gobs is all you would expect: helpful to goblins; painful and chaotic for others.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-BlessingOfTheGobs.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-BlessingOfTheGobs_180.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>The deck includes a good smattering of weapons, spells, armors, and items to help the goblins on their path to world domination. Well, maybe not enough to take over the world, or even the county, but enough to put them at the top of the goblin heap. And in case they get hungry on the way, we offer up some pickles!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-GoblinPickles.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6817-GoblinPickles_180.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>So come try out the new <a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight!</em> Deck</a>, releasing at Gen Con 2016 and at game stores on August 4. Inject some serious mayhem into the Season of the Runelords with Chuffy, Reta, and Ak in <a href = "/pfsacg">Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild</a> play or send them to the Shackles in Skull & Shackles, to the Worldwound in Wrath of the Righteous, or home to Sandpoint in Rise of the Runelords. And in October, you can try out their tomb-raiding skills in Mummy's Mask!</p>
<p>Check back next week when we preview the <a href = "/products/btpy9k5m"><em>Goblins Burn!</em></a> deck!</p>

<p class="date">Tuesday, June 28, 2016</p>
<div itemprop="articlebody">
<p itemprop="description">Free RPG Day 2016 has come and gone, and if you went to your friendly local game store or happened to stop by the ACG area at Origins, you got up close and personal with the Prince of Darkness! The Bale-flame of Naughtiness! The Dragon-Sired Master of Really Massive Bonfires! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you <a href = "/products/btpy9nbv">TUP THE TERRIBLE</a>!</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href="https://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO6000-FRPG-PR1.jpg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO6000-FRPG-PR1_180.jpeg"></a>

<i>Master of stick-men! Rider of sheep!</i></div>
<p>As you can see, our friend Tup is a pyromaniac. He's got a sorcerer-style spell blast (but he's a goblin, so it's expensive). And if he uses a spell to trigger that blast, he gets a random spell from the box in return. In play, this results in a somewhat... <i>erratic</i> spellcaster, and with a hand size of 6, Tup tends to take it on the chin.</p>
<p>He's also surprisingly personable, for a goblin. When he was exiled from Thistletop, Tup wandered the countryside, stealing random clothes off farmhouse clotheslines to ward off the cold. He now tells people that he's a really short leper, and for some reason people buy it. Probably because he's so helpful. He really wants to help you. For me, Tup will forever be played by Mike Selinker, eagerly asking every time I attempt a check if he can help. I said yes once, and he grinned wider than I've ever seen him grin. Then he wiped out my hand.</p>
<p>But I <i>did</i> succeed at the check, so... all's well?</p>
<p>Tup has a role card showcasing two of his many ceremonial titles, as well as a cohort: his trusty riding sheep Deliverance. And by "trusty" I mean "startled by just about anything and prone to tactical withdrawal."</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6000-FRPG-PR1-Deliverance.jpg"><img src = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6000-FRPG-PR1-Deliverance_180.jpeg"></a>

<i>Make sure to read the role flavor text.</i></div>
<p>Tup the Bale-flame is all about the burning. Want help? He'll burn you. If he needs help, he'll burn himself. You got fire stuff? When you're done with it, he can still use it. Tup's a conservationist arsonist. There are even options for players who want to take Tup in a friendlier direction: he can take feats to reduce Fire damage dealt to himself and to others. The design team might look down its nose at you a little bit—after all, goblins are meant to live gloriously short lives and meet gloriously brutal ends—but we're a full-service organization.</p>
<p><a href = "/products/btpy8x6n">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscribers</a> will be getting Tup for free (along with a fistful of other promo cards!) with the first Mummy's Mask shipment in October. Not an ACG subscriber, or just can't wait? He'll also be available for purchase starting July 1 <a href = "/products/btpy9nbv">right here at paizo.com</a>, and we'll be bringing him to Gen Con as well.</p>
<p>I hope you've enjoyed this taste of Tup, because July might as well be named Goblin Month! Next week, you'll get a preview of one of the two July Adventure Card Game Class Deck releases: the <a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight! Deck</em></a>.</p>
<p>Until next time, Pathfinders!</p>

<p itemprop="description">Goblins have returned for this momentous occasion—<a href = "http://freerpgday.com" target = "_blank">Free RPG Day</a> is here! Free RPG Day is a worldwide gaming event, aimed to bring new and exclusive adventures to local game stores to inspire new comers and long-time gamers alike. This year Paizo has contributed two new offerings for the event: <a href = "/products/btpy9j4r"><em>Pathfinder Module: We B4 Goblins!</em></a> by Crystal Fraiser and Tup the Terrible for the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game</a>.</p>
<p>If you're running <em>We B4 Goblins!</em> at your local store, or if you've just picked it up and want to try it out, you can <a href = "/products/btpy9j4r">download the pregenerated goblin characters</a> for your players right now.

<h1 itemprop="headline">A Little Comic Relief</h1>
<p class="date">Tuesday, February 3, 2016</p>
<div itemprop="articlebody">
<p>Hiya! We skipped the ACG blog last week, so we've got a lot of stuff to share! Here are three big pieces of big news:</p>
<h2>The Runelords Rise Again</h2>
<p itemprop="description">We have been working hard on the soon-to-launch Season of the Runelords (we're previewing it this weekend at <a href = "http://wintfan.baldmangames.com" target = "_blank">Winter Fantasy</a> in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it's not too late to get in on that!) and we're trying something a little different this time.</p>
<p>The Season of the Runelords storyline begins after the conclusion of the <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame/riseOfTheRunelords"><em>Rise of the Runelords</em></a>. In that Adventure Path, the heroes defeat a Big Bad Guy (is it possible to spoil a story we published in 2007?). We're picking up the story of the world after that defeat, with your fresh party of adventurers operating near the familiar town of Sandpoint.</p>
<p>We're big comics fans, and we love the fact that several of <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/">Dynamite's Pathfinder Comics</a> storylines take place in and around Sandpoint. Season of the Runelords <em>Adventure 1: Dark Waters Rising</em> and <em>Adventure 2: City of Secrets</em> looks to some of those comics to provide their story backbone and scenario art. Adventurers will experience the depravity of the Mosswood goblin tribe and the intrigues of the city of Magnimar, as filtered through the collective imagination of the Pathfinder Adventure Card game team. I'm not sure whether that should frighten or excite you.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "/products/btpy921r"><img src = "//static3.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/DYN/DYNHCV1A_180.jpeg"></a>
<a href = "/products/btpy98lg"><img src = "//static3.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/DYN/DYNHCV2A_180.jpeg"></a>

<a href = "/products/btpy9iye"><img src = "//static3.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/DYN/DYN-SEP158424_180.jpeg"></a>
</div>
<p>Adventure 1, which will debut at Winter Fantasy, is based on the first 12 issues of the comics, <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/darkWatersRising"><em>Dark Waters Rising</em></a> and <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/ofToothAndClaw"><em>Of Tooth and Claw</em></a>. It all starts on the road to Sandpoint, where mutated goblins attack the hapless party. When they arrive in town, there's talk of a flying beast that eats the local livestock. And the town council is in turmoil. How all these things weave together into an intricate 6-scenario plot is for you to discover.</p>
<p>Adventure 2 is based on <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/cityOfSecrets"><em>City of Secrets</em></a> and <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/origins"><em>Origins</em></a>. This arc brings us to Magnimar, where the clerics of Sarenrae and nobles of the city are being targeted by mysterious forces. When you find yourself embroiled in the gang turf wars of Underbridge, you'll wonder if the big city is big enough even for you.</p>
<p>In adventure 3, we'll head off to Hollow Mountain, about which we can share little at the moment—the <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/hollowMountain"><em>Hollow Mountain</em></a> comic book arc is ongoing. The first 2 issues are out, and the next two issues can be preordered. Get them if you want a preview of the excitement to come!</p>
<h2>Did We Mention Goblins?</h2>
<p>Speaking of gobbos, we announced that our Class Deck subscription has been hijacked by goblins! The first Goblin Class Deck (yeah, <i>we</i> know "goblin" isn't a class, but <i>they</i> don't seem to care) is entitled <a href = "/products/btpy9jcw"><em>Goblins Fight!</em></a>, features the rotters Reta Bigbad, Chuffy Lickwound, and Ak the Survivor, whom you might have met in the <a href = "/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics/goblins"><em>Pathfinder: Goblins!</em> comics</a>. They're nasty and fun, and also nasty.</p>
<div class="blurbCenter"><a href="https://paizo.com/products/btpy9jcw"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO6817_360.jpeg"></a></div>
<p>So where's Mogmurch and Poog of Zarongel? They're in the next Class Deck after that, entitled <em>Goblins Burn!</em>, naturally. It's a lot more spell-focused than <em>Goblins Fight!</em> is. We'll have that up on the site for preorder next month.</p>
<p>And who's in <em>Goblins Burn!</em> with Mogmurch and Poog? Well, that's a secret we'll keep to ourselves for a few weeks yet. But trust us, it'll be worth the wait.</p>
<h2>But If You Just Can't Wait, We've Got You Covered</h2>
<p>Maybe you don't want to wait for us to give you more goblin characters. Maybe you want to make them yourselves. So here's some big news: DriveThruCards has expanded their online <a href = "http://drivethrucards.com/builder/pathfinder" target = "_blank">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Card Creator</a> so you can now make your own character, role, and token cards!</p>
<p>This means that all major card types can now be made with the community card creator. Check out the Card Creator to make your own cards and see what other members of the PACG community have cooked up.</p>
<p>That's a lot for one blog! So check out Season of the Runelords, the Card Creator, and (when it warms up a bit) the Goblin Class Decks. Have fun storming the Goblin Fortress!</p>

<p><i>Ranzak snickers. Ekkie enters, skipping and swinging a dogslicer in a wide circle as she moves. Ekkie's brother's skull, Plarg, is wedged under one of her arms.</i></p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Hiya, Ranzak! Whatchu' eatin'?</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> Bits of tiny flapping demon. Longshanks say "imp." Imp imp imp. Good with sauce.</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Everything better with sauce!</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> What we do today, Ekkie?</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Ekkie think we talk about how great goblins is.</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> Good way to start most days.</p>
<p><b>Plarg:</b> ...</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Good point, Plarg. Whole world should know why goblins is best adventurer party.</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> Especially when goblins find big dumb longshanks to stand near! 'Specially with big longshanks to stand behind!</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Yes, is best for longshanks—I calls 'em shields of meat or "pre-dinners"—to think they is in charge and is being nice to goblins, protecting goblins from mean old monsters. Best longshanks for this is called pal-a-dims. Meat shield stand in front while goblins sneak around back, taking all the stuff.</p>

</div>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> When adventurer party is ALL goblins, sometimes things can be slow, because all goblins want stuff, but not all goblins want to stand in front. Better with paladims.</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Ekkie see how Ranzak steals stuff real good then sneaks ahead to steal more stuff when he find good stuff. This good plan, but Ranzak gots to stay sorta close to the paladims in case a bigbad comes.</p>
<p><b>Ranzak (looking around frantically, prepared to hide):</b> <a href = "//static3.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderBattles/20130222-Reta.jpg">Reta?</a> Where?!</p>
<p><b>Ekkie (sighing and bopping Ranzak on the head):</b> She not here, dummy. Ekkie means big, nasty ol' monster.</p>
<p><b>Magic Bird:</b> SQUAWK!</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Exactly.</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> Ranzak see how Ekkie fight rats and cats and snakes real good by herself and scares bigbads away so they goes and fights at other places. That smart!</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> So together, Ekkie and Ranzak make bigbads run away to other places, and take all the stuff. Ekkie's pretty sure that's what it say in longshanks book under picture of "adventurer."</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> Eww, books!</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Sometimes books are mixed in with stuff to steal. Longshanks trade books for meat; Ekkie learn this when she in Big-Time Thief Guild. That also where she learn to speak with semicolons.</p>
<p><b>Plarg:</b> ...</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Good point, Plarg.</p>
<p><b>Magic Bird:</b> SQUAWK!</p>
<p><b>Ranzak (laughing):</b> Truth, Magic Bird.</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> Hmm, with Ekkie and Ranzak, you get four adventurers for price of two!</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> That good bargain!</p>
<p><i>Ekkie and Ranzak stare out into space for a beat.</i></p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> World should also know that because of stuff-stealing and bigbad-scaring, goblins search places really fast. Fastest of all adventurers!</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> And goblins maybe not good at clearing out all places, like temples or magic places, but good at most.</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> And when time comes to fight biggest bad, Ekkie turns to devoted paladim friend and cheers. While going through pockets for loose stuff.</p>
<p><b>Ranzak:</b> So, in end, is clear that goblins is best characters ever. Accept no substitutes.</p>
<p><b>Ekkie:</b> What's a character?</p>

<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p><span itemprop="description"><a href = "http://freerpgday.com" target = "_blank">Free RPG Day</a> is here! Today game stores across the world are participating in this event, bringing new and exclusive adventures to their area, and inspiring new comers and long-time gamers to new roleplaying games. This year we're contributing two new products to Free RPG Day. The first is <a href = "/products/btpy9c20"><em>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free!</em></a>, a new adventure following the antics of select characters from the Birdcruncher goblin tribe. For Adventure Card Game fans, we've got a real tricksy treat in store: <a href = "/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lh57">Ekkie the Goblin Cutpurse</a>.</p>
<div class = "blurb180"><a href = "//static3.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderModules/PZO9500-9-Reta.jpg"><img src = "//static3.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderModules/PZO9500-9-Reta_180.jpeg"></a><br /><i>Illustration by Dave Allsop</i></div>
<p>If you're running <em>We Be Goblins Free!</em> at your local store, or if you've just picked it up and want to try it out, you can <a href = "/products/btpy9c20">download the pregenerated goblin characters</a> for your players right now. This module is also sanctioned for play in the <a href = "/pathfindersociety">Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild</a>.</p>
<p>Want to marathon some goblin fun? Why not add <a href = "/products/btpy8j5w"><em>We Be Goblins!</em></a> and <a href = "/products/btpy8xc3"><em>We Be Goblins Too!</em></a> to your gaming arsenal? These adventures all follow the same four goblin adventurers: Chuffy Lickwound, Mogmurch, Poog of Zarongel, and Reta Bigbad.</p>
<p>In addition to tables of the new Pathfinder Module, participating stores will also be running demos of the current Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Base Set, <a href = "/products/btpy9a46"><em>Wrath of the Righteous</em></a>, or the new introductory scenario <a href = "/products/btpy9eev"><em>Demonic Politics</em></a>. You can also download Ekkie as a free PDF and drop her into your game right now!</p>

<p>If you'd like to jump in right away as Ekkie, we've worked up some suggested deck lists below. You'll want to pick the 12-card deck if you're playing the short demo, and the 15-card deck if you're playing a full-length scenario. Either way, should should have the Mythic Champion mythic path card.</p>

<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p><span itemprop="description"><a href = "http://freerpgday.com" target = "_blank">Free RPG Day</a> is here! Today game stores across the world are participating in this event, bringing new and exclusive adventures to their area, and inspiring new comers and long-time gamers to new roleplaying games. This year we're contributing two new products to Free RPG Day. The first is <a href = "/products/btpy9c20"><em>Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Free!</em></a>, a new adventure following the antics of select characters from the Birdcruncher goblin tribe. For Adventure Card Game fans, we've got a real tricksy treat in store: <a href = "/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lh57">Ekkie the Goblin Cutpurse</a>.</p>

<p>If you're running <em>We Be Goblins Free!</em> at your local store, or if you've just picked it up and want to try it out, you can <a href = "/products/btpy9c20">download the pregenerated goblin characters</a> for your players right now. This module is also sanctioned for play in the <a href = "/pathfindersociety">Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild</a>.</p>
<p>Want to marathon some goblin fun? Why not add <a href = "/products/btpy8j5w"><em>We Be Goblins!</em></a> and <a href = "/products/btpy8xc3"><em>We Be Goblins Too!</em></a> to your gaming arsenal? These adventures all follow the same four goblin adventurers: Chuffy Lickwound, Mogmurch, Poog of Zarongel, and Reta Bigbad.</p>
<p>In addition to tables of the new Pathfinder Module, participating stores will also be running demos of the current Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Base Set, <a href = "/products/btpy9a46"><em>Wrath of the Righteous</em></a>, or the new introductory scenario <a href = "/products/btpy9eev"><em>Demonic Politics</em></a>. You can also download Ekkie as a free PDF and drop her into your game right now!</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">The Tax Man Cometh!</h1>
<p class="date">Wednesday, April 15, 2015</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<div class="blurb90"><a href="https://paizo.com//static4.paizo.com/image/content/RiseOfTheRunelords/Abadar_500.jpeg"><img src="https//paizo.com/image/content/RiseOfTheRunelords/Abadar_90.jpeg"></a></div>
<p itemprop="description">Hold fast adventurers! You may have earned your bounties chasing down bandits, or by slaying ferocious predators threatening farmers, but those roads you travel upon and the cities you spend your gold in require upkeep. Open up your money purses and remember—this is for the good of us all! It's time for a bit of lighthearted tax season fun!</p>
<h2>Taxfest</h2>
On the 15th day of the month of Gozran, Abadaran priests accompany local tax collectors to ensure a fair and respectful collection of monies owed, as well as to ensure no foul play occurs on either side. The church does not believe in free handouts (indeed, going so far as to charge for healing services and scrolls), but on Taxfest, Abadarans put on a lavish feast to as many people as they can fit in their halls. In addition to the free meal, Taxfest provides a means for common folk to discuss directly with civic leaders on how best to spend the newly collected tax funds.</p>
<p>But while the celebrations take place, other members of the church are hard at work in the vaults and accounting offices of cities and nations everywhere.</p>
<h2>Accountomancers</h2>
<p>For some members of the Abadaran clergy, the truth held in Abadar's holy book, <em>The Order of Numbers</em> is more important than the rest of faith's trappings. Less often clerics, oracles, or paladins, in truth these "accountomancers" (as they refer to themselves) are folk who have mastered the intricacies of mathematics and numbers to further Abadar's purpose in Golarion. Residing in the banks and temples of Abadar, accountomancers ensure that proper procedures from <em>The Order of Numbers</em> are adhered to, and carry a ring of golden keys to indicate their rank. The most senior members of the order are addressed as Watcher, and bear a single large, unadorned gold key. Arbiter inevitables are the preferred familiar of accountomancers, as their flight allows the arbiter to assist accountomancers in the high shelves and expansive vaults, or any creature capable of climbing (like monkeys) or flying (like ravens).</p>

<i>Illustration by Crystal Frasier</i></div>
<p>Upon the completion of their personal copies of <em>The Order of Numbers</em>, accountomancers usually keep to the church of Abadar, administering to the collection and allocation of city taxes, assisting inquisitors who seek out tax evaders, or offering assistance on business practices and employment to gain Abadar's favor. The best accountomancers are sought out by archbankers and merchant guildmasters to review the financial health of city and guild, and these different divisions work closely together to support accuracy, completeness, compliance, justness, and order in their cities.</p>
<p>Taxfest is the holiest day for accountomancers, for while the cities of Golarion are deep in celebration, they busily record all of the past year's data in <em>The Eternal Ledger</em>. A holy book for accountomancers, the <em>Ledger</em> is held in a new city each year, with accountomancers making the journey to the host city to take part in the Ritual of Transference. The rite copies the entries in <em>The Eternal Ledger</em> to a copy held in the First Vault, and the city's accountomancers enjoy the prestige—and magical bonuses to many of their skills—granted by the holy tome.</p>
<h3>Known Powers</h3>
<p>Over the centuries of their existence, accountomancers have developed unique skills that have use far outside their dusty basements and dim offices.</p>

<p class = "stat-block-1"><i>In Triplicate (Su)</i>: As a full-round action, a witch can demand a target within 60 feet repeat its previous actions, or suffer the consequence. If the target fails a Will save, it must repeat the same actions that it did in the round previous, in the same order, against the same target (if applicable), for three rounds. If the target cannot repeat its actions, it suffers the effects of the misfortune hex for that round, but if it does manage to repeat three rounds, it gains the effect of the fortune hex for one round. If repeating an action would be suicidal or obviously harmful, the target may make a new Will save. You must have the fortune or misfortune hex in order to take this hex. This is an enchantment (compulsion) effect, and if a creature succeeds on their saving throw against this effect, it is immune for 24 hours. Cackle cannot extend the duration of this hex.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Fallen Accountomancers</h3>
<p>Oaths taken by these Abadaran elite are not taken lightly, and oathbreakers viewed with a curious mix of derision, horror, and grudging admiration. Fraudulent and dishonest acts performed by an accountomancer while performing their duties are punished harshly, and immediately. Depending upon the crimes committed, stories tell of inevitables hunting down fallen members and permanently branding them, cutting them off from the source of their powers, or being cursed with poverty and ill fortune. Such <em>axiomatic brands</em>, often in the shape of a blackened and broken key of Abadar, are permanent, and even Katapesh merchants hesitate before dealing with one of these marked individuals.</p>

<p class = "stat-block-1"><i>In Triplicate (Su)</i>: As a full-round action, a witch can demand a target within 60 feet repeat its previous actions, or suffer the consequence. If the target fails a Will save, it must repeat the same actions that it did in the round previous, in the same order, against the same target (if applicable), for three rounds. If the target cannot repeat its actions, it suffers the effects of the misfortune hex for that round, but if it does manage to repeat three rounds, it gains the effect of the fortune hex for one round. If repeating an action would be suicidal or obviously harmful, the target may make a new Will save. You must have the fortune or misfortune hex in order to take this hex. This is an enchantment (compulsion) effect, and if a creature succeeds on their saving throw against this effect, it is immune for 24 hours. Cackle cannot extend the duration of this hex.</p>

<h3>Fallen Accountomancers</h3>
<p>Oaths taken by these Abadaran elite are not taken lightly, and oathbreakers viewed with a curious mix of derision, horror, and grudging admiration. Fraudulent and dishonest acts performed by an accountomancer while performing their duties are punished harshly, and immediately. Depending upon the crimes committed, stories tell of inevitables hunting down fallen members and permanently branding them, cutting them off from the source of their powers, or being cursed with poverty and ill fortune. Such <em>axiomatic brands</em>, often in the shape of a blackened and broken key of Abadar, are permanent, and even Katapesh merchants hesitate before dealing with one of these marked individuals.</p>

<p class="date">Tuesday, February 17, 2015</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p>Hello, Pathfinders!</p>
<p itemprop="description">This year's <a href = "http://freerpgday.com/" target = "_blank">Free RPG Day</a> is Saturday, June 20, and the card game team has whipped up something special for those of you who like free stuff. Introducing... Ekkie!</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6020-Ekkie1.jpg"><img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/PZO6020-Ekkie1_180.jpeg"></a>

<p>Ekkie, like her compatriot <a href = "/products/btpy96ie">Ranzak</a>, likes to eat, stab, and steal, not necessarily in that order. She comes with a character card, a token card, and a role card, and she can be played with any Adventure Card Game Base Set.</p>
<p>Ekkie will initially be available at stores participating in Free RPG Day on June 20. We'll be sending her free to <a href = "/products/btpy8x6n">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscribers</a> with their July shipment, and she'll also be available for sale at Paizo's Gen Con booth and at paizo.com starting July 30.</p>
<p>Before you ask: We're still testing her to see if she'll be usable in <a href = "/pfsacg">Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild</a> organized play. If she's allowed to join the party, you'll probably be playing her with the Fighter Class Deck or Ranger Class Deck. But first, meet Ekkie in her own words:</p>
<p style = "text-align: center;">∗ ∗ ∗</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Hello, Longshanks Hearing Ekkie's Words through Glowing Box! I first meet friendly longshanks in town named <a href = "/products/btpy8r0e">Magnimar</a>. Ekkie was just trying to make ends meet, put food in mouth and roof on head, so Ekkie joined fearsome goblin guild named Nightsoil Marauders. Is good, scary name: Nightsoil Marauders!</p>
<p>Anyway, Ekkie was sneaking through a longshank house filled with shinies and foods, taking things for the guild and for Ekkie, when the mangiest, barkiest, poodliest of dogmeats sneaks up on me and starts barking. "Bark!" it says. "Bark bark bark! Bark bark bark!" Always alerting the sleeping longshanks. Poodles are the WORST. And poodles don't even taste good, mostly because the curly hairs get stuck between goblin teeth.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderACG/20150217-Pudl.jpg">
<p><i>THE WORST!</i></p></div>
<p>Stupid poodle will not shut up, so longshanks come and chase me up and down and all around the town. That part is fun, but eventually they catch up to me and want all this talking and doing and not stealing and not eating. Nightsoil Marauders are—what is longshanks words again?—"unfortunate casualties," so Ekkie is alone again. But longshanks? Longshanks are "noble adventurers," which means sneaking and stabbing and eating, but with getting paid afterward. Seems like a good gig to Ekkie. So now, Ekkie is an adventurer!</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">The Goblin: An Unexpected Journey</h1>
<p class="date">Monday, November 3, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p itemprop="description">In a condo in Florida there lived a goblin. Not a nasty, dirty, wet condo, filled with strange substances in corners and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy condo with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a gamer condo, and that means Cheetos.</p>
<p>This all came to an end when the human owner of the condo was summoned to the lands of the Northwest, there to take up employ in the kingdom of Paizo. And so began the goblin's 3,150 mile journey to the home of the Creators, a Quest fraught with peril and many a Subway sandwich.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">

</div>
<p>Along the way there were inns for rest with a lovely stopover at Victoria Cottage in the Elven territory of Kansas where the human's sister provided hospitality and pumpkins.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/Blog/20141103-Blog2.jpg"><img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/Blog/20141103-Blog2_120.jpeg"></a>

<p>The goblin took point with his keen eyesight and hearing, ever on the lookout for something interesting, like Bear Lake in Idaho/Utah, where there were no bears.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter">
<a href = "//static2.paizo.com/image/content/Blog/20141103-Blog4.jpg"><img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/Blog/20141103-Blog4_180.jpeg"></a>

<p>At other times, he just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery, something Ray, the human's travelling companion and driver, should NOT have been doing.</p>

<p>At last, they reached the point where they could travel no farther, the mighty Pacific Ocean.</p>

</div>
<p>So ends his adventure, as well as my own journey to become a new employee here at Paizo. I've always been an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction, but only discovered tabletop RPGs around four years ago. Since then I've fully immersed myself in roleplaying and am currently a 3-star GM in Pathfinder Society. I also enjoy board games, especially cooperative ones, crosswords, and puns. Which all means I think I'll like it here.</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">Monster Mash</h1>
<p class="date">Thursday, October 16, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p span itemprop = "description">If you have not heard yet, the newest addition to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is hitting subscribers and game stores now. The <a href = "/products/btpy9926"><i>Monster Codex</i></a> is a mighty tome, filled with some of the most iconic foes in the game. Each of the 20 monster types appearing in this book has an expanded ecology, new rules, and 7 pages of new stat blocks across a range of CRs. Each one gives you plenty of ideas and awesome crunch to make these monsters the feature of an entire adventure or even a portion of your campaign, while saving you the time it takes to come up with the mountain of stats needed to make it happen.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-DevilSpeaker.jpg"><img src = "/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-DevilSpeaker_180.jpeg"></a><a href = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-VulturePilot.jpg"><img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-VulturePilot_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustrations by Damien Mammoliti and Jason Rainville</i></div>
<p><i>Monster Codex</i> has 12 pages of exciting new content for each of the following monster types: boggards, bugbears, drow, duergar, fire giants, frost giants, ghouls, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, lizardfolk, ogres, orcs, ratfolk, sahuagin, serpentfolk, troglodytes, trolls, and vampires!</p>
<p>Rather than show off a few of these stat blocks, I thought I might take this opportunity to highlight a part of the book you might miss on your first flip-through. The appendix for <i>Monster Codex</i> contains a new tool to help you make easily customized monsters of any type. These rules allow you to apply basic class features to a monster without having to recalculate all of its abilities and statistics. We call them simple class templates and we think they are going to see a lot of use at your game table!</p>
<p>Want proof? Check out the barbarian simple class template!</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Barbarian Creature (CR +2 or +3)</h3>
<p>A barbarian creature can fly into a rage, granting it numerous bonuses in combat. It also gains additional hit points and a few valuable defensive abilities. A barbarian creature’s CR increases by 3 if the creature has 10 or more HD. A barbarian creature must be chaotic.</p>
<p><b>Quick Rules</b>: +2 on all rolls based on Str; can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + its HD + its Con modifier (this functions as greater rage if the creature has 10 or more HD); gains DR 1/- and uncanny dodge (DR 3/- and improved uncanny dodge if the creature has 10 or more HD).</p>
<p><b>Rebuild Rules</b>: <b>Defensive Abilities</b> uncanny dodge (improved uncanny dodge if the creature has 10 or more HD; <b>DR</b> 1/- (3/- if the creature has 10 or more HD); <b>Special Attacks</b> rage (can be used a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + its HD + its Con modifier, functions as the greater rage class feature if the creature has 10 or more HD); <b>Ability Scores</b> +4 Strength.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, if you really need a barbarian hill giant, now you can create one in about 5 minutes, instead of the 30 minutes it would take to add a bunch of class levels to the base stat block. <i>Monster Codex</i> includes simple class templates for all 11 of the base classes, from barbarian to wizard, allowing you to customize all of your monsters with ease.</p>
<p>Well, that about wraps up this preview. If you are a subscriber, you should find that <a href = "/products/btpy9926"><i>Monster Codex</i></a> is on its way to you now. For the rest, stop by your local game store to pick up a copy of this handy book.</p>

<p class="date">Thursday, October 16, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p span itemprop = "description">If you have not heard yet, the newest addition to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is hitting subscribers and game stores now. The <a href = "/products/btpy9926"><i>Monster Codex</i></a> is a mighty tome, filled with some of the most iconic foes in the game. Each of the 20 monster types appearing in this book has an expanded ecology, new rules, and 7 pages of new stat blocks across a range of CRs. Each one gives you plenty of ideas and awesome crunch to make these monsters the feature of an entire adventure or even a portion of your campaign, while saving you the time it takes to come up with the mountain of stats needed to make it happen.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-DevilSpeaker.jpg"><img src = "/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-DevilSpeaker_180.jpeg"></a><a href = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-VulturePilot.jpg"><img src = "//static4.paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/PZO1130-VulturePilot_360.jpeg"></a><br />
<i>Illustrations by Damien Mammoliti and Jason Rainville</i></div>
<p><i>Monster Codex</i> has 12 pages of exciting new content for each of the following monster types: boggards, bugbears, drow, duergar, fire giants, frost giants, ghouls, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, lizardfolk, ogres, orcs, ratfolk, sahuagin, serpentfolk, troglodytes, trolls, and vampires!</p>
<p>Rather than show off a few of these stat blocks, I thought I might take this opportunity to highlight a part of the book you might miss on your first flip-through. The appendix for <i>Monster Codex</i> contains a new tool to help you make easily customized monsters of any type. These rules allow you to apply basic class features to a monster without having to recalculate all of its abilities and statistics. We call them simple class templates and we think they are going to see a lot of use at your game table!</p>
<p>Want proof? Check out the barbarian simple class template!</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Barbarian Creature (CR +2 or +3)</h3>
<p>A barbarian creature can fly into a rage, granting it numerous bonuses in combat. It also gains additional hit points and a few valuable defensive abilities. A barbarian creature’s CR increases by 3 if the creature has 10 or more HD. A barbarian creature must be chaotic.</p>
<p><b>Quick Rules</b>: +2 on all rolls based on Str; can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + its HD + its Con modifier (this functions as greater rage if the creature has 10 or more HD); gains DR 1/- and uncanny dodge (DR 3/- and improved uncanny dodge if the creature has 10 or more HD).</p>
<p><b>Rebuild Rules</b>: <b>Defensive Abilities</b> uncanny dodge (improved uncanny dodge if the creature has 10 or more HD; <b>DR</b> 1/- (3/- if the creature has 10 or more HD); <b>Special Attacks</b> rage (can be used a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + its HD + its Con modifier, functions as the greater rage class feature if the creature has 10 or more HD); <b>Ability Scores</b> +4 Strength.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, if you really need a barbarian hill giant, now you can create one in about 5 minutes, instead of the 30 minutes it would take to add a bunch of class levels to the base stat block. <i>Monster Codex</i> includes simple class templates for all 11 of the base classes, from barbarian to wizard, allowing you to customize all of your monsters with ease.</p>
<p>Well, that about wraps up this preview. If you are a subscriber, you should find that <a href = "/products/btpy9926"><i>Monster Codex</i></a> is on its way to you now. For the rest, stop by your local game store to pick up a copy of this handy book.</p>

<h1 itemprop="headline">PaizoCon 2014 Announcement Round-Up</h1>
<p class="date">Sunday, July 6, 2014</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<p><span itemprop="description">Missed the annual PaizoCon Preview Banquet? Enjoyed too many cocktails while there to remember what we showed off? This post is your one-stop shop for all the important announcements you may have missed!</span></p>
<p>After a brief greeting from company founder Lisa Stevens and an introduction of the staff by Publisher and Master of Ceremonies Erik Mona, Lead Designer Jason Bulmahn took over the podium to share some juicy details on upcoming books in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game line.</p>
<h3>Advanced Class Guide</h3>
<p>Jason kicked things off with an overview of August's <a href = "/products/btpy978v"><i>Pathfinder RPG Advanced Class Guide</i></a>, the RPG line's major release of 2014. The book contains 10 new base classes, each of which combines two existing classes to create a new hybrid that better serves a given character concept. The brawler, for example, mixes mechanical elements of the monk and fighter to create a scrappy martial fighter without all of the mystical elements or armor focus of its parent classes.</p>
<p>Jason's tour took us through eight spreads of the book, revealing details on the shaman class as well as arcanist archetypes like the elemental master, occultist, school savant, spell specialist, unlettered arcanist, and white mage. He also gave a preview of the book's numerous skald rage powers, a look at its feats, spells, and magic items, and finally a glimpse at the character class design guidelines included in the volume.</p>
<h3>Monster Codex</h3>
<p>He then continued with a tour of the <a href = "/products/btpy965u"><i>Pathfinder RPG Monster Codex</i></a>, a treasury of stat blocks, cultural details, and special rules for 20 of the Pathfinder RPG's most commonly encountered creatures. After a look at the fire giant chapter, Jason showed off several illustrations of the various creatures represented within, which are reproduced below.</p>

<h3>Pathfinder Unchained</h3>
<p>The big announcement for the RPG line came when Jason pulled back the curtain on <a href = "/products/btpy97vo"><i>Pathfinder Unchained</i></a>, the spring 2015 hardcover that will take Pathfinder into exciting new directions. This tome of optional rules revisits the barbarian, monk, rogue, and summoner classes with entirely revised versions designed to improve their overall play at the table. The book also will include an optional (and much simpler) action economy for the game, as well as new ways of designing monsters and treasure on the fly that we think players are going to love. We'll have much more to say about this book going forward, but for now it's probably enough to say that we've been conducting some mad experiments here at Paizo Central, and we can't wait to share them with you!</p>
<h2>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game</h2>
<p>Following Jason's presentation, we were joined by <a href = "/pathfinder/adventureCardGame">Pathfinder Adventure Card Game</a> designers Mike Selinker and Tanis O'Connor, who revealed more details about August's <a href = "/products/btpy92zj"><i>Skull & Shackles Base Set</i></a> and the upcoming <a href = "/paizo/news/v5748eaic9s45">Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild Organized Play program</a>. The highlight of the card game presentation was Mike's announcement that the NEXT Adventure Card Game base set will be <a href = "/pathfinder/adventurePath/wrathOfTheRighteous">Wrath of the Righteous</a>, scheduled for a February 2015 release! We'll have full product pages for the whole path up shortly!</p>

<h2>Giantslayer Adventure Path</h2>
<p>Following the Adventure Card Game presentation, Erik announced the name of the next Pathfinder Adventure Path: GIANTSLAYER! More details about the campaign will be announced at the Adventure Path team's Sunday seminar, and will hit the Paizo Blog in short order.</p>
<h2>Licensed Products</h2>
<p>Following the AP talk, I focused on a raft of upcoming Pathfinder licensed products, most so new that they do not even have product pages on paizo.com yet! They are:</p>
<ul><li>A metal Sihedron Medallion from our partners at King of the Castle/Campaign Coins.</li>
<li>A look at the <a href = "/paizo/news/v5748eaic9s0u">upcoming Rise of the Runelords soundsets from Syrinscape</a>.</li>
<li>Pathfinder Comics hardcovers for <a href = "/pathfinder/comics/pfComicsVol2">Volume 2: Tooth and Claw</a> and the popular <a href = "/pathfinder/comics/pfComicsGoblins">Pathfinder: Goblins!</a> limited series.</li>
<li><a href = "/products/btpy9797">Pathfinder Iconic Heroes Minimates</a> figurines.</li></ul>
<h3>Pathfinder Battles: The Lost Coast</h3>
<p>The next section of the Preview Banquet focused on the <a href = "">Pathfinder Battles</a> line of prepainted plastic figures we produce in cooperation with WizKids. In addition to showing off several of the already-revealed figures, Erik finally revealed the set's titanic case incentive figure—the mighty <a href = "">Shemhazian Demon</a>.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "/image/content/Blog/20140704-WZK71578-Demon.jpg"><img src = "/image/content/Blog/20140704-WZK71578-Demon_360.jpeg"></a></div>
<h3>Pathfinder Online</h3>
<p>Following the annual presentation of our Volunteer of the Year Award (co-awarded to PaizoCon UK founders and masterminds Dave Harrison and Rob Silk), we invited Pathfinder Online executive Ryan Dancey to close out the ceremony with a look at the Alpha version of <a href = "http://goblinworks.com" target = "_blank">Pathfinder Online</a>, which went live just last week. It's still very much a work in progress, but there has been a TON of progress in recent months, and it's been really cool to see people playing the game and having fun with it. Ryan and his team have been running demos all weekend, and it's become a great part of the PaizoCon experience to see the game grow from year to year.</p>
<p>Here's a look at the video.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter" style = "padding: 10px;"><iframe width="400" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/l74mlHKSUlw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>And that's it for new announcements this year! We'll have a lot more to say about these products in the weeks and months to come. If you're at PaizoCon, it's been fantastic getting a chance to chat with and game with you. If you couldn't make it this year, here's hoping you get a chance to attend in the future!</p>
<p>Keep rolling 20s, everyone!</p>

<h2>Giantslayer Adventure Path</h2>
<p>Following the Adventure Card Game presentation, Erik announced the name of the next Pathfinder Adventure Path: GIANTSLAYER! More details about the campaign will be announced at the Adventure Path team's Sunday seminar, and will hit the Paizo Blog in short order.</p>
<h2>Licensed Products</h2>
<p>Following the AP talk, I focused on a raft of upcoming Pathfinder licensed products, most so new that they do not even have product pages on paizo.com yet! They are:</p>
<ul><li>A metal Sihedron Medallion from our partners at King of the Castle/Campaign Coins.</li>
<li>A look at the <a href = "/paizo/news/v5748eaic9s0u">upcoming Rise of the Runelords soundsets from Syrinscape</a>.</li>
<li>Pathfinder Comics hardcovers for <a href = "/pathfinder/comics/pfComicsVol2">Volume 2: Tooth and Claw</a> and the popular <a href = "/pathfinder/comics/pfComicsGoblins">Pathfinder: Goblins!</a> limited series.</li>
<li><a href = "/products/btpy9797">Pathfinder Iconic Heroes Minimates</a> figurines.</li></ul>
<h3>Pathfinder Battles: The Lost Coast</h3>
<p>The next section of the Preview Banquet focused on the <a href = "">Pathfinder Battles</a> line of prepainted plastic figures we produce in cooperation with WizKids. In addition to showing off several of the already-revealed figures, Erik finally revealed the set's titanic case incentive figure—the mighty <a href = "">Shemhazian Demon</a>.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter"><a href = "/image/content/Blog/20140704-WZK71578-Demon.jpg"><img src = "/image/content/Blog/20140704-WZK71578-Demon_360.jpeg"></a></div>
<h3>Pathfinder Online</h3>
<p>Following the annual presentation of our Volunteer of the Year Award (co-awarded to PaizoCon UK founders and masterminds Dave Harrison and Rob Silk), we invited Pathfinder Online executive Ryan Dancey to close out the ceremony with a look at the Alpha version of <a href = "http://goblinworks.com" target = "_blank">Pathfinder Online</a>, which went live just last week. It's still very much a work in progress, but there has been a TON of progress in recent months, and it's been really cool to see people playing the game and having fun with it. Ryan and his team have been running demos all weekend, and it's become a great part of the PaizoCon experience to see the game grow from year to year.</p>
<p>Here's a look at the video.</p>
<div class = "blurbCenter" style = "padding: 10px;"><iframe width="400" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/l74mlHKSUlw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>And that's it for new announcements this year! We'll have a lot more to say about these products in the weeks and months to come. If you're at PaizoCon, it's been fantastic getting a chance to chat with and game with you. If you couldn't make it this year, here's hoping you get a chance to attend in the future!</p>
<p>Keep rolling 20s, everyone!</p>

<p>My adolescent comic book dollar was not well spent. </p>
<p><span itemprop="description">Growing up, we were terminally out of milk, meaning the circuit for any errand inevitably included a trip to the local convenience store. As much as my brother and I enjoyed the opportunities any store presented for squirming and line standing, my mother usually preferred to let her hellions run flailing to the nearby comic shop.</span></p>
<p>The baleful Comic Keeper had little patience for tweens in his store, and certainly not among the titles kept in mushy white-brown boxes on and under the store's mismatched folding tables. Rather, I was directed to a metal rack crammed in a back corner, one that displayed titles united by the Archie Comics logo: <i>Archie & Friends</i>, <i>Jughead's Time Police</i>, <i>Koosh Kins</i>, <i>The Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa</i>, and the like. I can't say I was terribly discerning at the time, but I certainly didn't scoff at what direction I received—the two dollar price stickers also went a long way to pique my interest (I was trying to make ends meet with a five dollar a week allowance after all). So I got in the habit of picking up the best from this collection, something I was familiar with both from television and mangled piles of action figures: <i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures</i>.</p>
<p>To clarify, these were not the Mirage Studios, 1980s, Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rather, these were the the gritless and never grim, pizza loving, cowabunga crowing interpretations of Saturday morning cartoons, Nintendo classics, and KB Toys. I checked for the new monthly issue probably twice a week, and poured tens of dollars into that store over months and months, not resting until my 10 volume back issue collection was complete.</p>
<p>Eventually, though, the system failed. One day, unsuspectingly, I went into the comic shop planning to leave with something garishly colored, but instead got into the back of my Mom's van with pages of black and white. I don't remember why I picked up one of the Eastman and Laird volumes—maybe I just had fresh allowance burning a hole in my pocket, maybe I was more curious than I remember. Regardless, in this volume Raphael was dead (I think it was him, I was thoroughly confused on how to tell the turtles apart in black and white), being tormented through some horrible spire-filled afterlife by a foul-mouthed bone faced vulture.</p>
<p>This was not my comic. It also certainly wasn't from the cartoon. I was even fairly sure it wasn't the plot of the recently released TMNT movie. This couldn't have been from anywhere else, so what the devil was this?</p>
<p>That answer was something of a revelation. It was it's own thing—something that would never fly in any other format. These comics could tell stories other mediums couldn't. They could be visually bold and expressive beyond novels, but also mature and experimental in ways film and animation (that I was aware of at the time) couldn't be. Comics were different, and had unique tricks and potential. It wasn't a realization I expected for my $1.99, but it's stuck with me in the few years since 1990.</p>
<p>When the opportunity came around for Erik, Sutter, and I to contribute stories to <i>Pathfinder: Goblins</i>, I knew I wanted to tell a story I couldn't with a Pathfinder adventure or in a piece of fiction. It had to be a goblin story, but it couldn't just be goblins being quirky and fail-ready, it had to use the medium. That's where my story's main character got the personality trait that would land him in so much trouble, because Xoff—that's my gob—is a total liar. </p>
<p>In <a href="https://paizo.com/products/btpy915e?Pathfinder-Goblins-4"><i>Pathfinder: Goblins! #4</i></a>, along with Jeremy Holt's awesome tale "The Gobbling Goblin," you'll find "Horsechopper," a dual account of Xoff's encounter with the Lost Coast's most infamous inhabitant, none other than the Sandpoint Devil. I say "dual account" because Xoff's narration recounts his grand battle, while Jainai Jeffries's brilliant illustrations depict a somewhat less flattering reality. It's a creepy encounter about a goblin, a dashing hat, and—of course—one trusty horsechopper. I won't give away the ending, but things get messy and along the way a frog almost gets gobbled. Writing this, now I really wish I'd made that frog a turtle.</p>
<p><i>Pathfinder: Goblins! #4</i> is on sale now, a creepy pair of tales to share along with your other Autumn ghost stories, and one that backs up your Pathfinder game with an appendix including stats for our "hero" Xoff and details on a distinctly goblin haunted house. Order it here, or hunt it down at your local comic shop now! </p>
<p>Just remember, it's the one with the hairless green ruffians who <i>aren't</i> ninjas.</p>
