Several years ago, we published Terrain Toolbox for the first edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

Now we're running a Kickstarter campaign to update it and have just unlocked our stretch goal to bring in to Pathfinder 2e!

Terrain Toolbox provides 48 sample terrains you can drop into combat, like a blood mage's circle, solid clouds, and lightning pillars. Each sample terrain includes cosmetic and rules variations, giving you hundreds of possibilities. Plus the book offers advice to create your own terrain.

You can learn more about our Kickstarter here. Please let me know if you have any questions I can answer.

Sneak Attack Press is looking for a few Pathfinder (and/or Savage Worlds) writers to contribute to our upcoming series of ebooks, Broken Earth: Tales from the Great Lakes.

Tales from the Great Lakes will be a series of short .pdf products, ranging from 2,000-5,000 words long. They will detail new locations in Broken Earth world all of which border the Great Lakes in between the United States and Canada (Superior, Michigan, Ontario, Erie and Huron). Each .pdf will feature details about the location, NPCs who live there, and plot hooks that occur there. They may also include new creatures or other game mechanics. Writers should be familiar with the Broken Earth setting.

If you are interested in writing for Tales from the Great Lakes, please send the following to matthew@matthewjhanson.com

• A one paragraph summary of the location you would like to write about, including at least one adventure hook.
  
• A list of previous writing credits (it's okay if you don't have any).
  
• A writing sample featuring descriptive text and at least one NPC or creature stat block for Pathfinder or Savage Worlds.
  

Payment will be 2 cents per word upon acceptance of the final draft. If you do the rules conversion yourself there will be a small bonus based on the amount of stat blocks in the product. Otherwise you can just write for one system and we will convert the product in house.

Sneak Attack Press is proud to release Broken Earth, a post-apocalyptic adventure-setting produced under the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game compatibility license.

Bombs fell. Billions died. Now you must pick up the pieces and rebuild this Broken Earth.

Broken Earth is an adventure-setting that takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. Heroes struggle to establish a community and protect it from slavers, mutants, and rival towns. As an adventure setting, Broken Earth includes many compelling locations and adventures, but also gives the heroes freedom to explore the world.

The book gives the GM everything you need to run a prolonged campaign in the Broken Earth setting, including locations, NPCs, adventure hooks, mutant monsters, and a detailed first adventure that brings the party together.

PDF versions are available now. Print copies are coming in April and can be preordered at the Paizo webstore.

So I've got this small company called Sneak Attack Press and I'd thinking about possible next steps to take with it.

One possibility that I'm thinking of is doing something post-apocolyptic with Pathfinder. I thought I'd throw it to see if there's any interest and see what exactly people might want.

One thought it to do just a big rulebook. Or two (PC and GM). Or three (PC, GM, Monsters). This approach could either come with a specific setting or be a toolbox approach.

I've also through about focusing more on adventures. This might have smaller GM and PC books, and an adventure path plus some short .pdf side quests. For the content of the adventure path, I'm thinking of either a post-apoclyptic "Kingmaker" where you help return civilization to the wastes, or travel-heavy adventure where the PCs explore a good section of the country.

I'm leaning a little bit towards the second option, partially because Warlords of the Wastes is more like the former. At this point it likely is never coming out, but if it does the adventure approach is less redundant with that.

Any of this appeal to anybody? Any other ideas?

Because I have some free time on my hands...

I know what our next adventure will be about.

We don't think we owe you an explanation of why some products cost 2.95, some cost 3.45, and some cost 3.95, but here's one anyway.

Sneak Attack Press products cost between 2.95 and 3.95. because they are of varying lengths.

• The 2.95 products are the shortest.

• The 3.95 products are the longest.

• The 3.45 products are somewhere in between.

(This is an attempt at friendly humor based on this thread.)

Yes! As always Dragon does something super-cool! Only further encourages The Koga's desire to make a monster campaighn where adventurers are the villains..

It could work if the npc classes were tweaked, though frankly then they'd be sortof adventurers in themselves, but with a differant manuever and motivation then most..

Alas I nolonger have a unique avatar. Oh well.

On topic, I agree. Brillian article!
