Holy steampunk, Batman!

And as far as I'm concerned, THAT is what the Technic League of Numeria dresses like! :D
All three of them look awesome there. Harsk w/ cigar and steely-eyed staring Seelah...
Amiri seems to have lost a lot of muscle mass and tone...still...
It's always fun to see established characters plugged into other settings/costumes. :)
Pulling for Pirate Merisiel for Ship Combat!
Unless we're talking about Shipping Combat. In which case, Pirate Merisiel and Pirate Kyra.
Also, Valeros with a chainsaw hand and a blunderbuss for Undead Uprising!
OMG, if Amiri ever sees this picture, she gonna cut the artist in fine little pieces for drawing her in such a ridiculous outfit.
Since she played the actress in CoT, Seelah seems to really get fond of cosplay ;)
Harsk is very cool like this.
I confirm that we need a Pirate Queen Merisiel.

He might want that to be a ghost touch chainsaw. I'm just sayin'.

Considering the winning average for the "camera zoom" deadite....
Point.

Oh, yeah... I'm all for that :)
I'm not so sure that a Pirate Queen Merisiel qualifies as "parallel world" at all.
That's good !! We don't want other worlds to take our dear Merisiel, we want to keep her for ourself ;)
This is amazing! I love Eva Widermann!
Harsk looks great too!
This is starting to look really interresting.
I have been wanting to do a Space Opera campaign for a bit, and this may solve the problem of providing a solid rules system [that my players are familiar with] to run it in. :)
Now, I have to go rewatch that movie.
YES.

What I am *really* interested in is the section on how does technology change a default pseudo-medieval fantasy world. What happens if we drop a printing press ? Steam engine ? Erm, guns ? How do such things alter the conceptual framework of the game world ?
One of my dreams is running a game set in a world of Thief: The Dark Project computer game. A decaying, medieval-meets-Edwardian "early steampunk" setting. Electricity and steam are present, guns are not. No airships, but first submarine is there. I hope that GMG will help me out.
Apparently there's a large emphasis on "Space Travel" in the GameMastery Guide, since it's featured in the index twice. ;)
That so Rocks!!
Given that I just picked up Infinite Space and thought it would make an EXCELLENT game, my only thought on this is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Dragonstar conversion is going to be a lot easier.

That is pretty much exactly the discussion you'll get in the Technology section of the World Building chapter. How do common advances, like the printing press, and medicine, and firearms, affect a fantasy world. Great stuff!

There's several redundancies in the index for ease of reference. Just as you'll see "space travel" under both its own heading and under "travel," you'll see other topics appear by themselves and grouped along with related topics as appropriate.
SO glad I pre-ordered this at my FLGS ... so, when do we gets our grubby mitts on it? Soon? Please? ;)
Nah. It's all about Space Amiri. Finally, an Amiri I can get behind.See, I like the normal Amiri. I find her cute in a "Did you just call me cute?! You're a dead man!" kinda way. :p
IMHO, the problem is that the weapon-size-ratio isn't "Amiri-type". Make that gun 3x bigger it would cover the proper Amiri basic principle!
;)
Will this book have any rules on Space Travel?
If you're looking for pages of content on space ship movements and maneuverability, effects of 0 gravity on combat, and the dangers of being exposed to space, don't get your hopes up. This is isn't Pathfinder: Space, or Pathfinder: Pirates, or Pathfinder: Charlemagne's Knights. It's a book about considerations and tools for Game Masters, not a catch-all of wacky rules content. What there is, though - as far as space goes - is a lengthy discussion on creating planets, elements of alien worlds, space travel (via portals, vessels, spells, and such), and extraterrestrials, providing details and advice on what GMs who want to run such games should consider and include should they want to take their games in whatever directions they please. While there are tons of new rules in this book, rather then making its a scatter shot of 50 off the wall topics, the rules in the GameMastery Guide focus on utility and flexibility rather than getting weirdly specific (sorry, no slug chariots and radiation magic herein).
All that being said, if you want to use the space travel section as a springboard, and consider the new ship statistics and combat rules through the lens of space travel, a cagey GM could easily create some pretty interesting (even Spelljammer-like) rules. That's not the specific intention, of course, but then again, the book easily provides a launchpad to build exactly what a GM needs, which, after all, is exactly what the GMG is all about.
Wes, my man, I thought we had a humor based mind meld going on after the "what a twist" blog post! I only asked because it was mentioned twice in the summary.
That said, I do like me some space travel, and appreciate the summary of the rules.
Troublemaker. :P
This is isn't Pathfinder: Space, or Pathfinder: Pirates
But, it could still be Pathfinder: Space Pirates, right?
Avast!
Radioactive Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Zombie Cyborg Time Travellers!
Again!!
Can't wait. o.O
I find Seelah's breast plate most...hypnotic... @_@
I hope we see evil versions of all the Iconic's including the new ones... granted on a couple of them how would we tell? :)
"Evil" seltyiel is a hemp wearing hippy who wishes nothing but happiness to others and loves his parents.
I agree! She needs to be carrying around a ship's deck gun or something.IMHO, the problem is that the weapon-size-ratio isn't "Amiri-type". Make that gun 3x bigger it would cover the proper Amiri basic principle!

No. The picture is a subtile movie reference.
As I referenced before, the weapon and costume come from the come from the 1968 movie Barbarella.
Oh nice.
Nice nice nice.
The listed subjects and the alternate iconic characters are really encouraging and adventure-inspiring. I cannot wait to see where Paizo goes with this.
Evil Seelah is pretty hot.
"Gone to the dark side she has"
Proving once again that bad girls are hotter.
She still looks like a female variant of a certain president... only this time the PR advisors made suggestions how to address the other half of the populace (I mean evil ones not r....)

The gun really doesn't look much like Barbarella's hand-rifle thingy to me. Costume somewhat like.

I wonder what a "Space Barbarian" would really look/dress like?

Frazetta's done a few heroic examples. I'd hunt down the one that really comes to mind now if I wasn't at work.
Although Firefly's Reavers could work for your nastier examples...
Back to the matter of Amiri's weaponry size, I'd kind of expect her to be backing a BFG 9000 or a ship-mounted railgun. :D
