Pathfinder Chronicler is pleased to announce the release of Pathfinder Chronicler Anthology Volume II as a free download from the Paizo webstore! During PaizoCon, many of you got your (physical and electronic) hands on the newest issue of the Wayfinder fanzine. This week, Anthology II brings thirty new short fiction stories set in Golarion to add to the ranks, all written by budding authors from the Pathfinder fan community. Of special mention are those stories featuring three specific "nations of treachery": Cheliax, Galt and Irrisen. You can download copies of Wayfinder #9 and Pathfinder Chronicler Anthology Volume II here.
Even more exciting is that we at Pathfinder Chronicler are again running our annual Pathfinder Fiction Contest (deadline August 12th). This year, we’re requesting that aspiring authors submit stories of no more than 3000 words which should build upon or explore the untold secrets of Golarion. After two rounds, the top five entrants will be submitted to Fiction Editor, James L. Sutter, who has accepted the task of crowning our victors, and Paizo gift certificates will be awarded to those selected as the first, second and third prize winners. If you are interested in participating in the contest, please visit our newly re-designed website for more information.
Finally, in case you thought this was just any old contest, you should also know that after the competition is over, Pathfinder Chronicler editors will go to work with interested entrants, editing and improving their original submissions until they are ready to publish in Pathfinder Chronicler’s next Anthology. As a special treat, we are pleased to premiere the cover art for Volume IV on this blog, a macabre twist on our usual librarian theme, hauntingly and beautifully illustrated by Carolina Eade. This next volume promises to be something special indeed, so be sure to enter the contest for a chance to get your story into print!
