I'm eager to chat more about this one, since I wrote it, but at the moment the time is not quite yet right to say more.

No worries! Lookin forward to all the juicy details! Heh.

We have no plans to make any version for any system other than Pathfinder. Same as for all of our new Adventure Paths have ever been.

Hoping that might change one day. I can definately see a good ol'Castlevania style romp in and around Bastardhall full of all things creepy and dark would be insanely popular to players of other tabletop systems (and thus a good money maker for Paizo).

Is Pathfinder Bastion of Blasphemies Adventure Path a Super Adventure / Dungeon like Abomination Vaults? Will it be all in one book? Does Paizo have any plans to make it available on any other tabletop settings like they did with Abomination Vaults?

Hello Pathfinders & Paizo Subscribers,

Unfortunately, Pathfinder Dark Archive (Remastered) outsold our expectations and our print run.

The Darkness RUE! It's...SO DARK! SO ARCHIVEY!

IT's...IT'S OVER TAKING US!

HHHHHHHUUUURRRRAAAAGGGGHHHH!

Quick question somewhat related to the original question: Has any Demon Lord stepped up to replace Nocticula as the Demon Queen of Lust and Succubi?

I honestly just wish the statblocks and the whole system of 2E Pathfinder was less complicated. I feel it needs to be simplified a helluva lot more.

I am hoping for the Winter Witch.

Back in 1e we had the Winter Themed Patron, The Winter Witch Class Archtype and the Winter Witch Prestige Classs.

In 2e we have the Winter Themed Patron: Silence in Snow but I would love a Witch Class Archtype that combines the class archetype and the prestige class.

I did love the ability of the 1e Winter Witch prestige class to deal cold damage to beings normally immune to it. My renegade Jadwiga Winter Witch really surprised (and enraged) a few Frost Giants as well as a Night Hag with that ability! ^^

Will the Necromancer class feature options similar to the Hallowed Necromancer archetype (aka focusing more on eradicating undead and manipulating both positive and negative energies instead of having the ability to create undead)?

Anyone wanting too see any archetypes based on 1st edition prestige classes? I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Heritor Knight or Winter Witch make a return. ^^

If only this could be tagged as official Pathfinder Fiction!!! LOL

OMG! If it could be actual canon that Il'setsya Wyrmtouched loves to randomly prank the archdevil Dispater with a different prank every single time I think I could die happy! LOL!

But yeah, I realize there's no way...a damn shame really...the POSSIBILITIES...heh...^^

Dispater (sighing): So much anguish to inflict and an eternity to do it...what the?

(sees a brightly colored present lying on his iron table)

Dispater (eyeing the tag): To Dispater...who in the Multiverse could hav? (SPLATTTTT)

(a banana cream pie comes out of the box and hits Dispater square in the face)

Dispater: IL'SETSYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Ahhh...the Land of the Linnorm Kings in WINTER...so majestic...so cheerful...a time for mead, warm furs, gettin cozy by the fireplace...and waving to the Krampus has he proceeds to kidnap the wailing children of the town...
...
...WAIT A MINUTE...O_o

We decide all those things on a case by case basis.

If you don't mind me asking James, what was the decision made on some of the Archdevils? Can Asmodeus and Dispater still be used?

Hmmm...did they get rid of the Planar Dragons from 1st edition?
Or did they just remake them?
Like, the Paradise Dragon, Infernal Dragon, Apocalypse Dragon (etc etc)?
Did they get remade or is that coming later?

There you go. The Draconic Codex table of contents has them all.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I SHALL SEND YOU COOKIES! ^^

Not very fond of the Silver Dragon's replacement. I'd like to think Oath Dragons should be far more benevolent than that.

Did we just get cybernetically enhanced Demons in Starfinder? o_o

He might be looking for something more, after all, the Spire of Nex is still sitting there outside Absalom's walls.

I think you might be right...after centuries of existance Geb is still as obsessed as ever with ending Nex's life.

So on top of planning for a new war with Nex (and possibly other parts of Garund) Geb is now diplomatically approaching Absalom's leaders? Sounds like he wants to make sure the various powers of Avistan don't get involved in what he's plotting.

Not gonna lie, I'm not fond of the artwork for either the requiem dragon or the despair dragon though I do like the concepts of them.

Well, at the very least, you have at least one wrong, as the remastered dragon closest to green is actually the Horned Dragon, as confirmed by paizo people around it's release in Monster Core.

Oh, and Empyreal have been confirmed NOT being a remastered gold dragon. (And having seen requiem in Monster Core 2, they have nothing to do with old bronze.)
I have also not heard of Dune, Gallant, nor Whimsy, ouside of some people trying to come up with names in Reddit posts.

Thank you for the corrections. ^^

Those dragons already did this in the past, so the changes they made are already active and we don't know any different.

So no alternate timelines created by Time Dragons?

Easy thing to check is if there are any shared authors between this and Wayfinder #11 from 2014, since I don't think Paizo would use somebody's fan work without involving them or crediting. It doesn't look like there are any shared authors, so probably not those specific devils.

That's ok. There's always next time...after all...

Any of those new Devils make appearences in Wayfinder already?

We're glad you like it, LoreMonger13! As a fan of purple scary things, I love them too!

One of these days you fine folks at Paizo are gonna have to tell us what the heck actually happens to the future if a Time Dragon goes back in time and changes something significant! Like, does everything in that future just undone (aka cease to exist, does it "BECOME" what it is in the new time stream, or does time travel follow multiverse theory in Pathfinder's setting?

TELL US YOUR SECRETS PAIZO! TELL US I SAYYYY! (starts gnawing on Paizo's leg) GGGAAAARRRRR!

Though we won't be doing this, I'm sure a member of the community will!

Ask and thou shalt receive:

Cinder Dragon (Red)
Bog Dragon (Black)
Dune Dragon (Blue)
Rime Dragon (White)
Verdant Dragon (Green)

Empyreal Dragon (Gold)
Mocking Dragon (Copper)
Requiem Dragon (Bronze)
Gallant Dragon (Silver)
Whimsy Dragon (Brass)

I think this book would be the perfect opportunity to showcase some new Devils! I've always been very interested to see Paizo's official take on Wayfinder's Hellforge Devil, Addiction Devil, Physician Devil, Rumor Devil, and Seduction Devil! ^^

Are there any Angels in this book?

Any new types of Devils?

Salthrun doesn't have an alignment, we've been converting to Remaster along the way with this AP. She's money-obsessed, but doesn't usually harm others unless they harm her family. That's Salthrun in the picture backing up her brother as we entered the fungi-filled tavern. We're preparing for our next marathon in a few days, so I'm transforming into Aunt Sally right now!

Ah, gotcha. I keep forgetting that alignment really isn't a thing anymore. I do gotta ask though, has the Order of the Amber Die ever used the alignment system from Palladium/Rifts Earth in any games they've done?

I've often found that system works a helluva lot better than the alignment system developed by D&D.

Was there any discussion of making use of the Inventor/Gunslinger classes for PC's? I've always loved the idea of a Dwarf making advantageous use of a steam-powered crank mini-gun. ;)

Sure! In this video I described some of the family tree, and you can see a sketch of the generations. I'll put the rest below.

Interesting. A bit curious why Jody went with a Alchemist/Toxicologist but I'm guessing that only helps with the brewing of beers and ales, heh. What alignment is Theodora's Champion of Dranngvit if I might ask?

Actually wondering which side Alain sided with in the war between Cheliax and Andoran?

Paizo had a Starfinder 1e AP with a focus on cybernetically augmented fiends... Signal of Screams had a heavy dose of velstracs.

IIRC, velstracs were very much into augmentation tech as part of their "artistic" goals on flesh.

Saw that and am hoping we get even more species of fiends from the lower planes experimenting with cybernetic augmentation.

I mean, Hell has it's forges in Phlegethon where unsuitable souls are remade into something more desirable.

Maybe the Archdevils could decide to enlist the velstracs to experiment with something more technological via creating new Devils? ;)

Only if it ties into locations such as Phobos and Deimos and the first adventure is called “Knee Deep in the Dead”.

Well we know Earth's solar system is totally a thing in Pathfinder so maybe that's possible?

Kind of bold and a bit risky of Paizo to give Sarenrae, Iomedae, and Desna no mention in their 2e Starfinder Player's Core not gonna lie.

Anyone else think they'd like to play a 2e Starfinder Mega-Adventure focusing on combating malevolent forces producing cybernetically augmented fiends?

Hoping we get some of the other Planar Dragons later after this (aka Apocalypse Dragon, Crypt Dragon, Paradise Dragon, etc etc).

Also hoping we might get some Gigas in this (aka Nirvana Gigas, Hell Gigas, Boneyard Gigas, Abaddon Gigas, Elysian Gigas, etc etc).

Akiton's modeled after Mars from Earth's solar system correct? Does it have any natural vegetation like forests or any water? I'm guessing it doesn't have any oceans but I'm wondering where the native life get their food and fresh water from (if they consume either)?

Dwarves, Elves, and Humans WORKING TOGETHER to slay a Diabolic Dragon? Very interesting!

Grimmyr is amazing and I love him as a character. My only complaint is that the jotunborn aren't an ancestry descended from Giants mingling with other species. I was kind of hoping we could get various subspecies representing various breeds of giant. :(

Does anyone know if anyone has made a manual converting Pathfinder Celestials into 5th Edition D&D Monsters? If so, can anyone provide me a link or two?

That said, I've said I'd like to see a book that focuses on the ancestries from Lost Golarion and how they've adapted to this future, where their populations centers are. and, like OP suggested, giving some updated ancestry feats to reflect how those ancestries developed in the intervening centuries/millennia.

I would like this very much as well!

So it makes use of the same ancestry feats as in Pathfinder 2nd ed? If so, do any of those feats need to be updated or slightly changed to fit with Starfinder 2nd ed?

I'm actually curious if we might get a manual focusing on religions and faiths of the Starfinder setting? I'd love to see how the faiths of Iomedae and others have adapted to an interstellar setting with high techology.

Will the ancestry system for Pathfinder edition be used for Starfinder 2nd edition as well? If so, will we get ancestries from Pathfinder species like Dwarves, Halflings, and Elves (but with a modern Starfinder spin) as well as the typical ones? I ask as my girlfriend is interested in playing a female halfling mystic.

One quick question though? Will caster classes like Technomancer and Mystic have access to spell levels higher than 6th? I can understand the need to cut down on the sheer power 7th, 8th, 9th, and even 10th spell slots can give but maybe there might be a way to limit that (aka make 7th, 8th, and 9th spell slots usable only once a day and even 10th level spell slots a powerful ritual perhaps)?

Would honestly LOVE some Technomancer abilities that simulate the abilities of Technomancers from Babylon 5! Summoning solid hologram monsters, electrocuting foes, and even having a protective forcefield all sound awesome!

Second funniest thing. One of our PC's who was a sorcerer had a arch rival (aka a male Hryngar wizard named Meznar). Meznar finally shows up much to the amusement of our sorcerer PC.

Meznar: Well look who we have here...the most pathetic excuse for a magic-user on all of Golarion...

Sorcerer PC: AWWWW LOOOK IT'S MEZNAR! DO YOU WANNA A BISCUIT BOY? DO YOU WANNA BISCUIT?

Meznar:...do you think I'm a DOG?

Sorcerer: HAVE A BISCUITTT! (throws dog biscuit into Meznar's face)

Yes this became a running gag and yes, we kept running into Meznar (including (but not limited to) his clones, his temporal variants, him during his childhood, during his old age in the future, Meznar after becoming a Devil, etc etc), and YES our sorcerer kept hitting him in the face with dog biscuits.

Our sorcerer is currently having a statue build in his honor in Magnimar and it's pretty him throwing a dog biscuit into Meznar's face. Results are expected to be hiliarious.

What's the funniest thing your PC's ever did to a foe? I'll start:

My PC's spent days hunting down a minor vampire lord in Ustalav's capital city. It was a complete and utter pain as he was sending assassins, summoned fiends, and everything else he possibly could to kill us, all the while we were doing everthing we could to find fang face. We finally found out where his lair was and were incredibly annoyed as apparently it was underneath the first place we looked. So we choose daylight to venture down, encountering trap after trap, minion after minion, only to discover he was asleep in his coffin.

We were upset. We were annoyed. We were TIRED. So our bard used an paint brush artefact to write the words "Weasel Face" on his forehead just for the fun of it. Any words written with the brush are absolutely PERMANENT and can be read by anyone in the language they know best. Then we engaged him in combat...only for him to turn into mist and escape. We had to find him AGAIN but ironically this time he came to US! He attacked the Inn we were at during the night with a band of his remaining minions and he...was...ANGRY! He couldn't figure out why everyone he knew kept laughing at him. We didn't the heart to tell him. Heh.

(The magical ice linnorm hide armor of the mighty human barbarian Rothgar the Mighty stretches thin as his muscular arms strain to lift up the mighty artefact hammer "Stormbringer" yet the hammer does not budge)

Armored War Ogre: Hahahaha! Puny man can't even pick up hammer!

Rothgar: IF ROTHGAR CANNOT HIT YOU WITH HAMMER THEN ROTHGAR SHALL HIT HAMMER WITH YOUUUUU!

(Rothgar grabs a completely surprised Ogre, lifts the monster up, then proceeds to repeatedly BASH it's deformed skull against Stormbringer over and over again)
