Now if only we could get the two of them to work together...

Well, Paizo DID hire Ryan Macklin, who had done a lot for Evil Hat's Dresden stuff. And I saw a "Crystal Frasier" doing art for an upcoming Hat product.

My rather visible work on Dresden was a good chunk of how I got my job here. And I am super happy to see Crystal doing work for the Hat. Her art style is a natural fit for many Fate-type things.

There is a small part of me that wanted to win that delve. At the same time, getting turned into a goblin was amazing. I don't think I would have enjoyed dying as much as if I was just a normal Ezren. Goblin Ezren knows how to drop it. I wanted the grizzly death of the Ryan Macklin save. Peace sells ... but who's buying? Not this Ezren.

All hail the short glory that was goblin Ezren. You were the best goblin Ezren anyone could ask for. In fact, next time you play in a delve, you get a free mythic tier for being so awesome.* You know what, strike that. Next time you play in any Pathfinder game.**

*Only while you sound like a goblin, though.
**If you actually get anyone to buy into this, let me know!

Judy: Equations are sentences for people who like math.

I ate the Valeros character sheet in that game.

BOOOODRAAAGE! {politely sips tea and knits doily}

...

Hmmm, I have a sneaking suspicion I might be doing it wrong.

DOILYS AND EARL GREY FOR THE MACKLIN GOD!

To be truthful, my bloodrager in the playtest was all about tea, peace, harmony, all that... except while bloodraging. He was totally ashamed to be abyssally tainted. In our first major encounter, he even tried to talk down the monsters while everyone else was fighting. That, of course, served as a platform for the tilt: when the monster rejected his offer, the bloograge happened; I removed my lithe half-elf mini from the table and put the barghest in its place.

The players flipped. It was awesome. It highlights one of the little touches I love about the class: there's no alignment restriction from your bloodline (or at all in the class), so you can get your emo while clawing a foe's face. (Folks who know me well know that's my jam.)

BLOODRAGE

*smashes a bunch of pottery*

BLOOOOOOODRAAAGE

*bites a bat just to hear it scream*

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODRAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

*takes puffs from inhaler*

Seriously, it's the fantasy archetype I never knew that I wanted, and now it's my favorite.

"Macklin, go fetch my studded codpiece and spiked demonic guitar. No, the other one!"

That brings back memories. College, amirite?

Was Macklin an intern for GWAR before coming to Paizo?

Nope.

Interns don't get paid.

Sutter: (to developers) No need for stress-vomiting!
Ryan: Don't take away that as an option.
Sutter: No one is taking that option away from us.
Judy: NASA can.

Jessica: Wes is Ryan's cheery gothic psychopomp

Jessica: and Ryan is my curmudgeonly sardonic psychopomp
Jessica: so we have a chain going, apparently

And I'll tell you all what I told Jessica: if you're gonna hitch yourself to this wagon, I'll try to not throw you off a ravine.

Now that Mythic's finalized, I can sleep at night.

I CAN SLEEP.

Also, does anyone else find it eerie in the warehouse when it's dark and empty?

By "eerie" you mean "it's time to play a post-apocalyptic larp," then YES. YES I THINK IT'S EERIE.

BRB, getting my bandolier.
