It's a busy time of year around the Paizo office as folks are working ahead to ensure that everyone can get their products on time even as the diligent editors, developers, graphic designers, and others look forward to taking a little time off. I spent much of last week outlining and assigning scenarios, and you should be seeing the product pages going up soon. Here's what to watch for:
January
#5–12: Destiny of the Sands, Part 1: A Bitter Bargain (Tier 1–5)
#5–13: Weapon in the Rift (Tier 5–9)February
#5–14: Day of the Demon (Tier 3–7)
#5–15: Destiny of the Sands, Part 2: Race to Seeker's Folly (Tier 1–5)March
#5–16: Destiny of the Sands, Part 3: Sanctum of the Sages (Tier 3–7)
#5–17: Fate of the Fiend (Tier 7–11)
Yes, that's right; the third scenario in the three-part series is actually one tier higher than those that precede it. This is the first time that we've jumped tiers during a named series, and there are very important in-game reasons for Part 3 being the level range that it is. Don't worry about having to play the three scenarios one after another, though; there are no plans to include a reward for consecutive play. Of course, there is something else that makes this series particularly special, but I won't spoil that just yet.
In the meantime, it's back to development. I want to make sure that everyone has the December scenarios to enjoy over the holidays.
