Don't forget to pick up the Infinity Deck and/or the Starfinder Novel, y'all!

Just goes to show no matter the image or sense of community Paizo projects, it’s all about extracting as much money as possible.

I don't disagree with you overall, but in this specific case, Paizo is a TTRPG biz which, since its inception, has been frustrating at best to stay afloat. What with all the headwinds from all the messes going on right now, it's a wonder that any TTRPG biz is still around to take our money. Of course, they need to monetize as much and as efficiently as possible.

The PG talks about "your GM might allow to 'worship' yourself if you're a cleric or champion" so you can even be "empowering" someone (yourself) during the AP too.

Yeeeeessss *Predacon Megatron Voice*

Been looking forward to this!

Y'all always knock it out of the park! I am soo here for this!

So where and when can we watch?

For example, we just posted a picture on our Facebook of the Clan Firecask miniatures and what an actual can of Battle Axe looks like!

Good to know! FB is bad about showcasing that kind of stuff on my feed

Page 15: OMG SHE'S BACK! :D Hey girl, I've missed you! Loving the new sword and fancy bow, great touch by the artist.

She's spent a long time in Tian-Xia and is personal friends with the ruler of Minkai, so ... it made sense she'd have a katana now. And the fancy new bow is just a side effect of her being a lot higher level now than she was in previous illustrations. As to what she's doing in this Adventure Path... that's something that you'll have to play (or read in prep of running) to find out!

But also, the reason she's in here in the first place is thanks to these forums.

** spoiler omitted **

That was me! I have been on the road for MONTHS and missed this. Woot!

Excited to see some tasty lore tidbits being revealed!

On another note, when did Thurtson leave Paizo?? I didn't see the usual farewell blog. :(

Oooo Hook me up!

Truly sad. Condonlnces to his family and friends. Never had a chance to read his books. Will put them on the list now.

The Allhollowtide Watch begins! Happy Halloween, y'all!

"Why did Ghol Gan fell?"

and

"Why Eye of Abendego exists?"

The Lore dumps, insight into cultures and magic shoptalk alone are worth picking up the novel.

Godsrain Novel has a lot of delicious War of Immortals lore sprinkled throughout. I highly suggest that non-readers get the book even if they don't enjoy the story.

Ope! Check the website, too - War of Immortals

Everyone, thanks for your patience. Something came up in life, plus I had a cough that took a while to go away.

Anyway, here's a secret link to a secret thing that I totally sang at the bottom of an NDA hole.

That was nicely done. Bravo!

Shipping with Usps can be slow. Even when I use Priority Mail, it still takes two days, despite being only five hours away from the warehouse. There are various reasons for this, but it’s the reality.

For me, the subscription has always been about supporting Paizo directly and receiving a PDF at no extra cost.

However, that may be changing. With the price increases on the books, it’s becoming less practical, especially when you can get the same book from Amazon at a significant discount and still buy the PDF separately for less than the subscription. Even more so you if add in shipping.

That's why I asked if there had been a drop in subscribers.

Spoiler Info

Is the spoiler info discussed in a particular book?

Is this being pushed from a drop in subscriptions due to an uptick in book prices and shipping fees?

My watch ended yesterday while I worked and then slept. Until next watch, fellow subscribers!

I am still in the queue for the first breakfast of Mythic, but a second helping is much appreciated! *Adds it to the buffet plate*

Chunky and delicious, that's just how I like my gamebooks!

Back home for Winter, and now my watch begins anew!

Vanessa knocked it out of the park. Vanessa will be missed. Ah well C'est la vie.

I've been on the road and it's good to finally dig into this post. Looks like everyone had a blast and it's always cool to see one of the GCN crew in the wild!

Gary sounds like he was one of the greats. Rest well and condolences to his loved ones.

And by that metric, it's 100% okay to only play 1E Pathfinder, or only play 2E Pathfinder... or play both (like me).

I like both. I wish there were a way to move PF1e closer to PF2e and PF2e closer to PF1e if that makes any sense. I mean I know I can streamline the action economy (That's in Unchained correct?) Any other suggestions, James, if you're willing since you play/design both? I ask because my player group is a house divided!

Calliope5431:

Oh! Check out the Order of the Amber Die for completed AP's! They're only now wrapping up Abomination Vaults using only Gunslingers

I'm really enjoying what I've skimmed through so far. If I listen closely, I can almost hear Rita Repulsa, or rather, the Demon Lord of the campaign, exclaiming, "Ahhh! After 13,0000 years, I'm free! Time to conquer Daimalko!" Then, the player characters leap into their Zords Valkos, to battle demon-encrusted Kaiju. For this mecha and big robot fan, this has all the hallmarks of an epic campaign my friends back 20 years ago to even now would love to play or run!

Also, as I was flipping through I noticed the number 13 popping up a few times, including the title of one of the major sections. Then I realized that this is the 13th Starfinder AP. I see you, Starfinder team.

Beware

My vigilance ends in time for the weekend. See everyone at the next Watch!

I'd love a Remastered Guns & Gears!

I feel you, bro! I have seen so many changes. I enjoy PF1e because that is what I spent ten years playing (Even more if you add in 3.0/3.5 years). Will I ever enjoy PF2e as much? Probably not. I'm at a very different point in my life. But that doesn't mean I'll not play or have fun running it. In the end, it's whatever my friends want to play.

Anyway, the PF1e/3.X era is gone now. I doubt it'll ever come back except as RetroClones, and likely not from Paizo.

Can I recreate Redwall/Gwelf with Howl of the Wild? Go! :p

I see Sandpoint is up on Spotify. I take it the storeside is being stubborn.

Edit: Awesome work on the soundtrack! Listening to it now as I read Seven Dooms

Just restarted my subscription after picking up the BB Remaster. I'll have to check these out.

This is very helpful!~ Much appreciated!

Agreed! Thanks for sharing this TRO!

Long story short, no. and with the Remaster, for me at least, the clock has been reset. I best not see a new edition before 2033 LOL but I know business needs will determine that.

** spoiler omitted **

That's awesome! Can't wait

I only see 2011 and 2015 Ezren minis on Minis Gallery https://www.minisgallery.com/index.php?task=gosearch

Ooh great looking out! I'll use the 2015 version then

I wanted to pair the BB sheets with a mini for my new players but I can't find a 2nd Edition Ezren anywhere. Has he been made yet or am I just clueless?

For PCs, Nualia was a rescuer who gave her life to help them. At least so they thought. It is because of this thought that PCs take part in the Ritual.

I think I'm going to steal this! Or a variation of it. Thanks for the idea!

Ooooh, is War of the Immortals really the Apocalypse Riders riding out across Golarion? SIGN. ME. UP.

Also, thanks, Shay, for the recap location! All set for the new season.

My Watch begins as well!

The section I'm seeing only covers Year 1 of PF2 Society.

Did all of that happen in Year 1? I ask because this sounds like the start of Year 5. Now, the Pathfinder Society turns to its original creed, vowing to explore the world and discover the unknown with a strange member of its leadership at the helm!

Currently unrevealed, but the assumption is in Seven Dooms for Sandpoint that she...

Thanks, James!

I'd love to dive back in this season but wish there was a recap of some sorts of the developments since Year One Second Edition? The only thing I recall from Year One is the Mosquito Witch.

Either way, looking forward to the new season!

Is she in Minkai with Ameiko? Or elsewhere?

Huh, TIL moment, Seventh Seal. Thanks for that!

I know I, for one, am stoked to get this book in my hands so I can unleash Larry MacDougall/Gwelf on my players.

Dot Dot Dot

Do y'all have any tips on creating a stronger tie between Rusthenge and Sandpoint?

Thanks for the replies!
Ok, how do y'all see the first three rounds of combat unfolding for a low level party consisting of a Commander, a Fighter, a Wizard, and a Cleric in a dungeon setting? I am thinking of either Abomination Vaults or Burnt Offerings/Seven Dooms. Assume standard subclasses and typical equipment. Feel free to substitute the Fighter with a Rogue if y'all think that might change the dynamic. I'm interested in both general tactics and specific abilities they might prioritize.

Would you want either class to be in a group, or would both work best? What kind of group mix would be best? How would these classes play with Gunslingers?

This is the good stuff! Read slowly and enjoy! Thanks, Tan Shao Han

You're welcome!! I am glad you said to read slowly and enjoy. It is something I wanted to make the feeling of... Time very central to the story, of a single night as well as of countless years that have passed...

Best,
Shao Han

I understand that. Time weighs heavy on me these days. On the bright side, you led me to find Judge Dee on Netflix.
