It's one thing to interact with readers of Pathfinder here on the internet, be it via messageboards or chat rooms, but it's certainly no replacement for face-to-face conversation. We're pretty sheltered here at Paizo, sequestered away in the not-large-enough room we semi-affectionately refer to as "The Pit," and they don't let us out that often, with the notable exception of Gen Con.
That all changed last month on December 19th, when Erik Mona, Wes Schneider, and myself got to escape the office to visit a friendly local game store—Oroboro Games. Since they don't let us out much, I had no idea that there was a cool game store like this so close to the offices. We showed up at about 7:00 PM, and although it was only supposed to go for about an hour, once you get Erik, Wes, and I talking about Golarion, well... time does strange things. The event ended up going for nearly three hours, and it was great fun! Particularly fun for me was talking to people who were playing Rise of the Runelords, and finding out just how much those goblins get hated. Poor little guys! They're just looking for things to burn and babies to eat. Is that so wrong?
Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of the event. If you look real close, I think you can see some art we haven't yet shown off on the website for book covers! Thanks, by the way, to Joshua J. Frost and Carolyn Mull for making the event happen in the first place!
