About John Hathaway

I love games like Pathfinder and D&D for the same reasons I love books and movies and (some) video games - Story. At the heart of each is a story that is being told, and with tabletop RPGs it's a story I get to participate in and help shape. It's a thrill and a joy that no other medium of storytelling can convey to the same degree. To sit down at a table with some of my closest and dearest friends for hours on end and collectively compose a story we all find riveting and compelling is an awesome thing - and I am extremely grateful for every all-too-rare opportunity I get to sit at that table.

Now, speaking of stories, I do have to confess that there are some particular themes that I am an absolute sucker for:

  • Time Travel - I love it and all the wonky paradoxes it makes me consider
  • Redemption - redemption stories hook me like none other
  • Bad Guy is related to the Hero - it's hackneyed and overdone many times, but I still love it when the bad guy turns out to the hero's brother or dad or best friend or former lover
  • Duality - stories that explore the inner struggle of Good vs Evil

    So, Paizo - feel free to smash those four things together and I'd sell a kidney* if I had to in order to acquire it.

    *purchase of kidney does not imply it belonged to seller. Purchase is final, no refunds or exchanges.
