Still waiting, still have not heard anything from anyone at Paizo.
I have been trying to contact someone since June.


Okay, hopefully I will hear something soon.
Thanks.


I didn't really want to post this in an open forum, but I have tried to contact Paizo several times over the last few months on both the customer service and consignment emails and have received no response. I need you to shut down my consignment account for Rusted Iron Games for selling PDFs on paizo.com.

Thanks,

Howdy Partners!

Rusted Iron Games is developing Tombstone, an alternate-history weird, wild west setting for Pathfinder Second Edition. The main book for the setting, the Tombstone Gazetteer will be coming out soon, but we have already released five Ancestries of Tombstone products to provide new ancestry options for the setting. However, the ancestries are fully compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition and could be used in other settings as well.

Ancestries of Tombstone Centaur
Ancestries of Tombstone Chupacabra
Ancestries of Tombstone Corvus
Ancestries of Tombstone Jackalope
Ancestries of Tombstone Rougarou

What is Tombstone?

Tombstone is a gritty alternate history wild west setting with elements of anime, fantasy, and gothic horror. The year is 1871 and the world is full of monsters and magic but it diverges from traditional fantasy settings in a number of ways. First of all, the world of Tombstone is our earth, or at least an alternate version of it. This allows us to assume a baseline of actual history — for example, the city of Las Vegas, Nevada won't be founded until 1905 — except for the details that are called out as being different. Secondly, the ancestries of Tombstone are not the ones found in traditional fantasy settings. There are no elves, dwarves, gnomes or halflings in the world of Tombstone. Instead, humans live alongside centaurs, jackalopes, rougarou, and the secretive chupacabra.

Magic has always existed but was much less common and much less powerful until the summer solstice of 1847 saw a surge of magical power unheard of since the time of King Artur. Since then, instead of quickly falling back to normal levels as is expected with magical spikes, magical power levels have been slowly but steadily building. Magical scholars have taken to calling this event the Resurgence.

The Southwestern Territories are also facing a new threat in the form of The Blighted. A shooting star landed in the barren wastes of West Texas and now strange mutants are coming out of the desert...

Tombstone is a campaign setting for Pathfinder Second Edition. This means that you need the Pathfinder Core Rulebook (Second Edition) to play games in the world of Tombstone.

I just want more RIG stuff from Space Badger® (aka Mike Welham).

Mike went and took a vacation or something so he won't be back in the word mines for a while. He is going to be doing something Starfinder related for R.I.G. when he gets back, but it will more likely be a September release than on the August 17 release date.

Okay I can announce Rusted Iron Games first Starfinder Compatible product line!

We will be doing a line called Starfarers that each feature a new NPC ship crew. The crew will have a group background and motivations (such as exlporers, smugglers, etc.). Each individual NPC will also have personal background and motivations and information about their crew role on the ship. Each NPC will also have stat blocks at 3 different levels for added utility. Each Starfarers product will also feature a new ship design including deckplan and 3 different ship stat blocks - each appropriate to the NPC levels.

Starfarers can be used as enemies, friendly NPCs or quick pregenerated PCs if needed. You could also just swipe the ship designs to use for your own PCs or something else.

I plan to have the first editions of Starfarers available on the Starfinder release date of August 17th.

New Today! Template Races: Half-Humans

Half-elves and Half-orcs have been a staple of fantasy game worlds for a long time. But why limit our games to just those two human crossbreed races? Why not half-dwarves, half-gnomes or half-hobgoblins? That's where the the half-human race template comes in, you can create any human crossbreed races that you need for your game.

Also I would like to thank N. Jolly for giving us expert advice on how to fix the terraformer kineticist archetype.

Finally Endzeitgeist being the Uber reviewer that he is, has already updated his review for the revised edition which can be found on the product page.


Thanks for supporting R.I.G. Readerbreeder and Kobold Cleaver!

Also I am personally working on a race called the Ygg. They are norse-flavored Treefolk who are descended from Yggdrasil the World Tree.
