I have received word from the beyond, and we have a winner for our Rasputin Redesign Challenge! Look closely into my eyes, and I will share secrets with you...

The arrival of Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Occult Adventures with its host of psychic magic and class options means new ways to tell stories for the world of Golarion (and beyond). But what about some of our older adventures, particularly one about a Very Infamous Monk? Are you ready for a design challenge?

It's almost time for Pathfinder Adventure Path #72: The Witch Queen's Revenge, the final installment of the Reign of Winter Adventure Path. In a last-ditch effort to save Golarion from a new ice age, the PCs finally face Queen Elvanna deep inside the inner sanctum of Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut! But they have the aid of the Queen of Witches herself, Baba Yaga, one of the most powerful spellcasters to ever walk Golarion and even more distant worlds. Baba Yaga gets a full write-up in The Witch Queen's Revenge, including a stat block using rules from Pathfinder RPG: Mythic Adventures. Baba Yaga is a mythic character with tiers in the archmage mythic path, with several new special abilities to go along with her mythic path abilities. As a small preview of what's to come in The Witch Queen's Revenge, check out the patron spells granted by a new witch patron—fate—the patron of Baba Yaga and those who wish to follow in her footsteps.

The Reign of Winter Adventure Path continues with the upcoming release of Pathfinder Adventure Path #71: Rasputin Must Die!, where the PCs find themselves in Russia in 1918 facing off against animated tanks, headless Cossacks, and the "Mad Monk" himself, Rasputin! The adventure contains several encounters with large numbers of World War I-era Russian soldiers. Rather than treating each soldier as an individual foe, they're combined into units with a single stat block and new subtype: troop. Encounters with troops aren't meant as studies or simulations of modern tactical warfare; rather, by condensing many individual soldiers into a single stat block, you can concentrate on the atmosphere of the adventure without bogging down every combat round with dozens of die rolls. To whet your appetite for early twentieth century adventure, here's a preview of the new troop subtype that appears in Rasputin Must Die!

In the upcoming installment of the Reign of Winter Adventure Path, Pathfinder #70: The Frozen Stars, the PCs' quest brings them to the planet Triaxus in the midst of its generations-long winter. I don't want to spoil anything for those of you playing in the Adventure Path, but there are dragons... and aliens.

There's something I'm sure many of you don't know about our Art Director Andrew Vallas. He has a thing for creatures with multiple limbs—multiple legs, specifically. At least six to be sure. To keep our awesome Art Director happy, I made sure to order a few multi-legged creatures for the Bestiary in Pathfinder #69: Mother, Maiden, Crone for his enjoyment. Not that the whole bestiary is a chorus line of horrible monstrosities, mind you. (There are only really two monsters that fit the bill, but considering the centaurs of the Dvezda Marches in Iobaria are each bringing four legs to the party, there are a lot of legs to make a bipedal creature jealous.)
