Wait, Greensteeples Manor was looted and burnt to the ground? Hopefully Varian Jeggar and Radovan Virholt are canonically still alive. :(

Looks like confrontation with Queen Abrogail Thrune II and her two infernal aids Gorthoklek and Lrilatha is inevitable. What really concerns me is Abrogail's continued searching (and acquiring) of Gorum's remains. I shudder to think what a sadistic power hungry infernal sorceress who rules a nation and treats will Devils would do with mythic power! o_o

Oh god my game is in the blog. I guess it's really real now. Excited to bring my own take on Bastardhall back to its Paizocon roots.

I continue to hope that one spooktacular Halloween night Paizo will release a Bastardhall super dungeon adventure for all of us to enjoy!

Would there be any 3rd party Dhampir feats for allowing a Dhampir to do the following:

Assume a swarm form of Bats for a small amount of time.

Assume gaseous form for a small amount of time.

Granting a slightly faster movement speed.

Are there any rules (official or 3rd party) that allow for undead parasitic symbiotes that give abilities like extra spellcasting and which grow in power as the host grows in power? I ask as I have a PC who wants to play a crimson haired female Dhampir Thamaturge with an parasitic symbiote hand (aka somewhat similar to Vampire Hunter D).

Honestly? I think we're pretty much covered in terms of possible ancestries. I think what we need now is some more Ancestry Feats.

Is it just me or is this adventure plot somewhat similar to Second Darkness (except instead of the Drow (who aren't Pathfinder cannon anymore right?) now it's vampires correct?)?

Oh I fully expect that there is an insane race for all the powers of Golarion great and small to collect the Godshards of Gorum's corpse. However we still don't know the Decemvirate's overall goals nor do we know why those ten masked individuals occasionally purge their most talented venture-captains. The Pathfinder Society has acquired a colossal (and some might even say a dangerous) amount of knowledge, treasure, and magical items (and artifacts) and we're still not sure of the ultimate purpose for doing so.

Also Abrogail Thrune the II with MYTHIC POWER? Now that's a terrifying concept! Considering we'll be getting a war between the infernal empire of Cheliax and freedom-loving Andoran, I'm fully expecting the Godshards to come into play sooner or later.

Am I the only one who is a tiny bit nervous about the Pathfinder Society collecting the broken pieces of a dead God? o_o

Anyone else want more of an indepth look at the following things in Starfinder:

• The various religions in Starfinder's setting and how they've adapted to Golarion's vanishing and function in the Galaxy?

• Lore and info about the Halfling Trade Fleets and Dwarf Forge-Fleets that travel the Pact Worlds (since both Halflings and Dwarves no longer have a homeworld anymore to call home it'd be cool to see how they've adapted to their new life among the stars I feel).

• Info on various power-shake ups and the current state of the Multiverse since the vanishing of Golarion from all record.

• A few more celestials, fiends, and monitors in Starfinder's bestiary that make good use of technology?

Not to make a bad situation even worse for the Pathfinders but what exactly happens if a Godshard of Gorum ends up embedded in a Child of Urgathoa? o_o

That was my first thought too! Prince of Darkness, part of John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy.

It already has stats, even:

2e stats

One of the first edition bestiaries had it as well, and the art was spot on.

I'm surprised that monster doesn't grow stronger to eventually possess a chosen host and use it to open a window through a mirror in order to pull it's dead God corpse from a sealed dimension into reality.

Is that a baby liquid vile demigod (aka the liquid satan from that one movie)? o_o

Will we see details about the Arcanamirium as well I wonder?

One halloween night Bastard Hall. One dark, spooky, and mist shrounded moonlit Halloween night.

I would have gone with "Riders of the Apocalyspe" myself but Apocalypse Riders makes sense still.

Does anyone else think an adventure path revolving around Iomedae's faithful leading a crusade against the cybernetically enhanced forces of Hell (who are attempting to finally invade and conqueror the Pact Worlds) would be a nice addition to Starfinder?

I'm hoping for Dhampir racial feats that give Dhampir players some more options. Like the ability to assume a swarm form maybe or even the form of a gaseous mist for a limited time?

Is Fola Barun's human parent Keleshite in ancestry? Just wondering. ^^

Sweet! We're finally gonna throw down against Treerazer! For Kyonin! :D

Hoping Amiri, Ezren, Kyra, and Merisiel can survive and succeed without being completely and utterly consumed by whatever terrifying horror their trying to prevent escaping.

Chk Chk wearing the heart glasses is so cute, adorable, and awesome! Heh.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if the Necromancer class will feature options that will make it be akin to a Hallowed Necromancer?

Wondering if Halcyon Speaker would be a good archetype to run with this adventure path?

Yup, this is what happens when you let a Demon Lord (even a Nascent one) fester in one spot on the Material Plane for too long. He either builds up a MASSIVE army, starts to get exceptionally CLEVER, or BOTH! Usually it's BOTH! Time for the Elves to shine as heroes (with some help from other other species of Golarion that is). ;)

Awww Whook at da cute whittle elemental Mephits.

the question I want answered is if we can make the thralls dance so we can summon our own flash mobs :P

AND IT'S NECROOOOOOO...ZOMBIEEE NIGHTTTTTT!!!

YEAH I JUST SUMMONED THIS UNDEAD HORDE AND THE TIME FOR ATTACK IS RIGHTTT!!!!

There's 3 subclasses, one for bones, flesh, and spirits.

Mmmmm...zombie flesh armor...heh.

Most of the others (Transmuter, Adjurer, and Evoker) have strong mechanical niches, but not so much of a cultural identity. (Unless you consider Evoker = Blaster, but I think that's an oversimplification.)

I'd be quite tempted to say that most of what makes an evoker and evoker can be evoked (heh) by the kineticist. The manipulation of raw energies and bending the elements to your whim? Fits the bill pretty effectively.

Maybe a Warmage class instead? Then again, that might also be copyright by WotC as I think WotC actually came out with a Class with that title in a D&D Manual. Also as you pointed out there are other spellcasting classes that focus on combat so a Warmage class might be repetative. Maybe a College of War Magic for the revised Core 2e Pathfinder Wizard though?

I 100% believe the motivation of the Necromancer was "Necromancers in pop culture", not "the Wizard school turned into a full class".

I don't think anyone is asking for, or jumping to make, "the Abjurer class".

To be fair, I never said EVERY Wizard school had to be turned into an actual class. I'm just thinking SOME Wizard schools (aka one or two more) might be fun as an actual class. The Necromancer certainly is shaping out to be. An Enchanter/Enchantress class would be pretty cool I feel.

I wonder if we'll get other 1e Pathfinder wizard subschools as classes? I think my GF would absolutely love to get an Enchanter class (especially one that gives the ability to afflict mind-effecting abilities/spells on creatures that are otherwise immune or mindless).

Reminder that oliphaunt in 1e was "Space 80 ft., Reach 80 ft."

I loved ridiculously big colossal creatures x'D

Yeah, if Mogaru is the Godzilla of Golarion, the Oliphaunt of Jandelay is the Godzilla of the Multiverse!

Aenigma wrote:

As far as I remember, the Oliphaunt appeared on Golarion only once, during an Azlanti invasion of Thassilon in -6301 AR, in the Age of Legend. So can I assume that the men in the art are Azlanti soldiers?

Could also be Thassilonian, from after the Azlanti army was defeated and the Oliphaunt was running around afterwards before finally making its save to return home. It also destroyed a fair chunk of Xin-Eurythnia

I think it's an "Aspect" of the actual Oliphaunt of Jandelay. Perhaps summoned via a mythic-level spell?

It takes a truly reckless and power hungry spellcaster to summon an aspect of the Oliphaunt of Jandelay. o_o

Hey - so the very recent blog, and the lists on this thread list 7 mythic monsters, and that's what i've heard elsewhere too - but...

the top of this page says wrote:

8 terrifying new mythic monsters and rules for creating mythic threats of your own!

so was there an 8th taken out due to page space or something, or has everyone been counting wrong, or there's an 8th that is hidden elsewhere than the rest?

The 8th Mythic monster is the pdf itself.

A la Necronomicon.

Does the Necronomicon actually exist in Pathfinder Cannon? Or would that just be the Book of the Damned?

I'm hoping we get more Mythic Destines (maybe some Occult and Monitor based Mythic Destines) and heck of a lot more Mythic Monsters!

Also bonus point on mentioning the cartoon Mighty Max! Loved that cartoon growing up! There's a person on Youtube who is trying to restore it btw:

Mighty Max Restoration Project

I'm actually hoping we'll get more of the Great Beyond in Starfinder in the coming months and even into next year. Like, what's been going on in Heaven, Hell, Axis (etc etc) since interstellar Empires have risen and fallen and Golarion still remains vanished and missing?

Have the Fiends decided to finally incorporate an advanced form of cybernetics and technology into their armies? What possible moves have the Celestials and Monitors done to counter such a threat? Maybe we could get new outsiders augumented by and/or wielding technology?

Also what about the powers that rule the Great Beyond? Have Demon Lords, Archdevils, Empyreal Lords (etc etc) remained static or have there been massive shake ups in the power structures of the Multiverse that possibly threaten to cause massive upheaval to the Material Plane?

And now I want a godberry smoothie.

Starberry Banana Godberry anyone?

So he became an exemplar by eating god berries.

Temporarily yes. A powerful but fleeting gift.

Less smash you might makes right and more Intense mom disappointment maybe? Gronk did you raid villages again?? Gronk I am so disappointed you are better than this.

"GRONK NOT NOEZ WHATZ YOUZ IZ TALKINZ ABOUT! GRONK NOT KNOWZ WHERZ DIZ LOOTZ CAMES FROM!"

Also is it just me or is Tar-Baphon finally starting to make a move after freeing himself and turning Last Wall into an undead-filled hellhole?

This probably does not bode well for the nations of Avistan down the line. Hopefully our heroes can help the Orcs unite their people.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCSSSSSSS!

…will now engage in diplomacy!

ORKS IZ DA BEST AHZ DIPLOMACYS! YEZ WE'ZE IZ!

Being asked to curate a list of spooky products was the highlight of my week last week, as a known Halloween lover!

This list was a good idea. Each year as we approach Halloween we always get posts asking about spooky options.

YES! MORE SPOOKY! ALL THE SPOOKY ADVENTURES! WERE-CREATURES AND GHOULS AND VAMPIRES AND GREAT OLD ONES! Love fighting some gothic/lovecraftian horror with my friends! I truly hope to have a mega adventure/dungeon in Ustalav one day! ^_^

Gods to one day get a Bastardhall Megadungeon release for Halloween. I know it'll probably never happen...but I can DREAM can't I?

Was this how it felt, to be above mortal concerns? Like all you needed to do to cut an enemy down or to be where you wanted to be was simply to will it, to simply make it happen and have it be done?

The moments where he embraces his powers, he seems to feel a mix of awe and surprise. The idea that things could be *that easy* are a novelty to him it seems. But he is keeping his humility still. At least that's how it reads to me.

I hope your right. It would be a shame if his power corrupts him one day and he starts actually feeling himself "above mortal concerns".

Nahoa has never seen ice before? Has his power never generated it before? Interesting, but also worrisome. Nahoa seems to be giving in far to much to the divine power his items have given him. Almost as if he's experiencing arrogence from the possessing the power. Could the ice now be a side effect of that?

I wonder if we'll get a Winter Witch archetype anytime soon?

I also wonder if we'll get racial archetypes?

I'd love to see how Paizo would do the Dhampir's Kinslayer archetype, the Suli's Elemental Knight archetype, and the Elf's Treesinger archetype in 2e Pathfinder.

Lady Hesla Embersplitter would absolutely love to have you all for dinner...OVER...I MEANT OVER FOR DINNER!

Rothgar shall now travel to that mountain peak with friendly dragon! Rothgar shall obtain the armored corpse of Gorum and melt down it down to reforge it into a weapon of infinite war! Rothgar expects nothing can surely go wrong with this venture. ROTTTTHHHHGGGAAAARRRR!

Thankies Ezekieru. I shall send you cookies. ^_^
