Thanks for taking the time to make a post about these topics. As consumers none of us ever look forward to costs increasing, however you laid out the "why" in a manner that shows that it's not a situation of "because we would like more $".

Paizo at Gen Con

Backstory! As we've said previously, the whole Marketing team will be at Gen Con, and the editorial team will be split up, so all these are pre-recorded. It is fewer hours than we have done in years past, but full of value!

Thanks for playing Starfinder and Pathfinder.

Re: The Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide, the kobolds were successful and found more! Huzzah!

Final hours!

What did I forget? Ah!

Here is a link to all our Foundry VTT products. Pathfinder Adventure Path #189: Dreamers of the Nameless Spires (Gatewalkers 3 of 3) should go live there soon.

PathfinderNexus.com has added Pathfinder Lost Omens: Firebrands and Pathfinder Adventure Path #189: Dreamers of the Nameless Spires (Gatewalkers 3 of 3).

Fantasy Grounds has Pathfinder Lost Omens: Firebrands and Pathfinder Adventure Path #189: Dreamers of the Nameless Spires (Gatewalkers 3 of 3). You will find a lot of Starfinder content too, most recently Interstellar Species.

Roll20 has newly lowered prices.

ICYMI: Lone Wolf Developement/Hero Lab Online has Pathfinder Lost Omens: Impossible Lands, Pathfinder Treasure Vault, and Starfinder Interstellar Species.

ICYMI: Syrinscape has sound and music for both Starfinder and Pathfinder.

I have not seen any Pathfinder or Starfinder Infinite products associated with this month's releases yet, but I suspect Firebrands will be inspirational. And I hope more Drift Crisis Case Files by Infinite authors will follow. The Starfinder comic, Drift Angels, will continue the "Crisis content" coming for months to come!

Thanks for playing Pathfinder and Starfinder.

Hello and Huzzah!

A note from the PaizoCon Online Planning Committee: the PaizoCon Code of Conduct, FAQs, and PaizoCon page could, ahem, use some updating, but we did not want to delay this blog and to get the opportunity to participate into your hands!

We will be sharing details of our events and plan to put badges on sale in mid to late March.

New players can read about the story so far and start playing Starfinder Society today at StarfinderSociety.club.

We've not made any announcement regarding Pathfinder Fists of the Ruby Phoenix for Foundry VTT. Resources are currently committed to Gatewalkers and Kingmaker. Never say never, but plates are full.

Oh, Fumbus! We are sorry that we are unable to process digital subscriptions for December at this time. We are working on the problem now and will post an updated timeline once we can establish our next steps. Thanks for your patience.

Pathfinder Arena is finally ready to bring you endless hours of fun and epic, no-holds-barred challenges.
From now until August 10, all Pathfinder Arena backers will be able to take advantage of the Pathfinder Arena Pledge Manager, which will be fully managed on Gamefound.
After clicking on the link, you will be redirected to Gamefound Pathfinder Arena page.
All those who have already supported us during the Kickstarter campaign can log in if they have an existing Gamefound account or create a new one. After logging in, you will see your funding converted back into spendable credits on the Pledge Manager page to redeem your pledge again.
In addition, you will be able to increase your pledge by adding add-ons such as the new expansion The Final Challenge by paying the difference via PayPal directly to Gamefound.
IMPORTANT: You must log in or create a new account necessarily with the same email you already used for donations during the Kickstarter campaign.
Thanks to the Late Pledge, even new backers who did not participate in the Kickstarter campaign will have the opportunity to choose the pledge they most prefer, add-ons, and jump headlong into the Arena
New backers, on the other hand, will get no credit.
So, if you want to grab the loot, you will simply have to add the pledges and add-ons you most prefer to your cart and pay for them via PayPal.
In addition, entering the shipping information will automatically calculate the cost of the shipments for you, to be paid again via PayPal directly to Gamefound.
New backers will therefore have the last chance to be able to purchase Pathfinder Arena at a one-time price!
But keep an eye on the schedule!
The Pledge Manager will only be available until August 10. What are you waiting for?
The Arena is calling you!
To stay up to date on the Pathfinder Arena project and the world of Pathfinder, follow on Facebook the Pathfinder Arena Official Group.

From our friends at Roll20:
"Roll20 is also excited to announce that with the release of Starfinder's Drift Crisis, Roll20 fans can lock in their pre-order for the product now. The content itself will be unlocked with full VTT integration on July 21, 2022 by 3:00pm ET."

Scary clown art warning! Adventures Ahead! :)

The typo was mine. "a Paizo" should be "at Paizo." And all the Tech Department has gone home for the holiday. The last laugh of the year is on me. I love it. :) Happy New Year to you all!

As a fan of wooden ships and sailing these look inspirational for some downtime on the High Seas too. Crossover content. Thanks Joe!

Sorry Finders, we posted this one a bit later than Payton intended. Expect something like this every Monday or so for the foreseeable future. He told me had an amazing time at TwitchCon by the way!
