Put me down for one. I’ll be there starting Thursday evening.

If it helps, as one of Wayfinder’s assistant editors-in-chief, I’ll be involved too.
Remember, the best joke ever played is that Tim and Liz somehow weren’t front and center.
I always love taig-mas. Don’t bother giving me presents, but never stop being you.
It's annoying when you get inspiration for something with less than a week left and everything else going on keeps you from ironing those ideas out >_< This is stellar advice. Always keep practicing.
Congratulations!
The best thing to do for us is actually to leave us good notes using comments in Word. Then we can figure out if things actually need to be referenced or not. If you're not using rules elements, we often only include references for particularly obscure things.
Looking forward to seeing what people submit for this!
Bear in mind that siphon structure has a duration of concentration, and it's not as powerful as it looks. Plus you need a target object to siphon from, and can't take more than it's hardness. Combine that with attended objects getting a (fairly easy) Fort save, and I think it holds up. Now, you can abuse the spell by weakening your own adamantine longsword (or whatever), but it's still capped by caster level.
Hey folks, With PaizoCon behind us and Wayfinder 17 in people's hands (physically and digitally!), plus the Bestiary released, I thought I'd take a moment to remind people that the next issue is open for submissions. Be sure to read (and follow) the guidelines to maximimize your chances of inclusion. I look forward to seeing everyone's submissions!
I'm hoping to catch up with people at the bar afterward (9 p.m. ish). Will there be people at a bar afterward?This is a distinct possibility. ;) At the very least, barring extraordinary circumstances, I'll be at the bar...
I'll be there in case anyone needs to buy me a drink ;) Kalyna too, I imagine...
I'm in! Hope you're ready for my well-practiced goblin voice, in spaaaace!
I'm Eric, I cut my hair relatively recently and wear it short now, I'm 6'4", bearded (or maybe goateed), personable, and you can ask pretty anybody at PaizoCon to point me out and they will ;)
This thread warms my villainous heart.
Probably? Only time will tell....
This'll be great! Potential authors, artists, freelancers, and others should come out! Who knows what kind of mysteries will be revealed?
Aw, yeah! Who's ready to get killed by robots, or maybe lasers?!
Blake isn't gonna say this, but if you want to continue to see Archives of Nethys get updated, you should . Every bit helps. Thanks Liz. I'm glad someone linked it to make it easier for us to find.
Oh, put me down for one. And one for Kalyna. So she doesn't steal mine.
Proofing time! This issue looks great, in case anyone was curious.
Mmm, spoilers. I know the AP is almost 10 years old, but the anniversary edition just came out...
The way the Con has worked (and I assume will work) is that there is an event lottery before hand. This includes games run by Paizo staff, freelancers, 3PP folk, and anyone else who wants in. These games are generally not PFS, and will list what they need you to bring, which is often dice, a pencil, and a desire to play. After the lottery is settled, PFS games open up on a first come-first serve basis. The answers here will likely serve you better than I will, since they come from VOs. Pick up games are also fairly common, with people using every available space in the hotel, including a few dedicated rooms. So there are absolutely plenty of games, PFS or not.
In my own experience, the banquet goes like this- People start lining up about 2 hours ahead of time. If there's someone you desperately want to sit with, get in line at this point. If you have a list of 3-5 people, you're probably okay closer to the 1 hour mark. If you don't mind sitting in a corner with Cosmo, show up whenever you feel like ;) There's about half an hour to eat and chat, longer if you were at the front of the line, shorter if you were near the back. While tables generally only have 1 Paizo staff member, there's often guests of honour, freelancers, PFS VOs, 3PP publishers, and other awesome folk, so every table has the potential to be an amazing experience. Because Paizo staff get in early, they're often mid-meal or done when the masses pour in. Then there's the presentation, during which people might still be having coffee, dessert, or drinks, but very little talking is going on. The reveal of upcoming products, thank yous and other miscellany takes 1-2 hours generally. After the banquet is the trivia contest, and the main evening of BarCon. Both are a ton of fun, and if you've never done the trivia, I recommend giving it a whirl. Of course, this is just my experience. Your mileage may vary.
Are we looking at ~August again for the cut-off on Wayfinder #18? Keep an eye on this thread.
Thanks for all your work Thursty!
I have a few more questions concerning the monster masquerade material in the book if that's okay. Are they purely meant for use with feats and skills? I.e., basically wearing a 'monster suit'? Or is there magic involved, making them something more along the lines of polymorph magic? It's designed to be a mundane set of feats that grant some monster disguise abilities.
Oooooooooooooooozes!!!!! It's totally sort of a thing.
Dimensional Step Up is amazing, although moreso for evil GMs than players. My compliments to whomever thought it up. Oh, neat! Apparently that was me!
That sounds cool
I hope it's based on this:
Awesome! Did Krondarr smash anything?
Il'l poke my nose in here from time to time. Just to see what's going on. And maybe say something. Who knows? I'm not terribly important either, really, but I do have a say in what Wayfinder does, and I do love a contest.
While not nearly as exciting as Tim's post, I'd like to remind people that we still have room for advertisers in this issue. Your ads will be seen by everyone who attends PaizoCon in glorious print! That's pretty amazing! Have a look at the first post and contact us at wayfinder.fanzine@gmail.com to get in on this wonderful opportunity.
Wait, is Robert G McCreary a Space Fantasy pseudonym? Doesn't he usually just use Rob McCreary?
Good Lord, that's like a concentrated shot of Eighties culture stabbed into my eyeball!I could do a 'cities of the Planes' article of some sort. It would be pretty fun.An ill wind comes arising, across the cities of the Planes? That makes me want a Planes issue more...
Especially with this nagging. :) Nope. Because of nagging, I am officially saying things will take one day longer. ;)
Given the geography involved, the answer can be no. :(I'll have look at the AP volumes and see if I can't come up with some advice for you. Let me know how it goes!
Given the geography involved, the answer can be no. :(I'll have look at the AP volumes and see if I can't come up with some advice for you. Tim's idea is great, but feel free to use this as well: Spoiler: Let the PCs meet Krondarr wandering through Scrapwall, searching for his stolen bride. Alternatively, move the tribe into the city limits and run the opening encounter as written.
You can set the dungeon at the entrance to any other mini-dungeon, or add it as a separate location, depending on the needs of your game. Alternatively, you can relocate the tribe and run it between adventures 1 and 2, Krondarr can help even the odds for a lower level party.
Because daemons and proteans are more awesome. :D I agree! I also think elementals and positive/negative energy are rad.

I would be very surprised if it ever happened, especially considering that Paizo content is not 100% accepted.
In my biased opinion, Wayfinder counts as published.
Saturday and Sunday are the "meatiest" days in my experience, with Friday night being an excellent add if you play PFS, or get into a cool lottery game. I personally think even just Saturday and Sunday would make it worthwhile, but everyone has their own preferences.
"Doors" is a weird question. PaizoCon is in a conference hotel, so the doors don't really close. Most days things kick off around 8am, but the hotel restaurant, cafe, etc., are open earlier than that (6am? 5am? I have no idea, early.).
I'll be there with Kalyna again.
