You could certainly do that if you wish. We hope to have the Continuum Guides out in the next two weeks or so.

Set Rising is great fun, Darren Pearce knocked it out of the park with that one! If you're not familiar with his work look him up. From Cubicle 7's Dr Who RPG to a long standing position working on Suzerain he has an extensive and well earned set of chops.

For a bit more about Set Rising here is a review of the Savage Worlds release by Geekly Inc.: http://geeklyinc.com/savage-worlds-set-rising-review/

Keep your eyes open as there will also be a few freebies hitting the store soon!

Greetings! I'm Loki, the guy who took over as Pathfinder Line Developer just less than a year ago. I've got a new version of this and the subsequent books coming soon.

The rules have been re-edited and redeveloped, there will be extremely cool, new covers, the maps will now be part of the book, and Endzeitgeist is already expecting them for a fresh review. (He just gave Palace of the Lich Queen 4.5 stars and his seal of approval.)

I hope that once the Continuum Edition hits some of you will reconsider checking it out. In the meantime please feel free to hit me up with any questions or comments you might have.

It's a new era over here, and I hope that you enjoy what our new team is producing.


Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, Malwing. In the next few weeks we will be releasing our Continuum Guide, which is composed of those exact pages you weer asking about. It will be a free pdf to help introduce players to Demigod play in the Suzerain Continuum.

In addition I've posted some preview pages from the big book, including both art and sample stats. Since you were asking about Tech Guide compatible stuff I made sure to include some goodies just for you. Examples of the Green Earth Coalition, a race of intelligent suarians on a tech heavy world that never saw the fall of the dinosaurs.

You can find the previews here: https://www.facebook.com/suzerainrpg/posts/10153706602933856

Enjoy! And Welcome to The Continuum!

Sorry for the brevity, but I am heading out the door right now. Yes, there will be a Players Guide composed of those sections, and it should be out soon. I'll post more details later in the afternoon today.


Greetings all! Loki, the Pathfinder Line Developer for Savage Mojo here!

Let's address a few of these questions that Richard did not cover (he is one of the designers on the team as well as our resident Pathfinder editor.)

Print versions - they will be coming soon. We are awaiting the proofs right now and once those get the thumbs up from the boss they will be going on sale.

How does it compare to Mythic? Conceptually it has similarities in that it is kicking things up a notch by making the heroes agents of the gods. I'm going to steal Richard's comments from a Facebook post as they get things across in a very concise manner:

" yes, they can be run in tandem... but you will probably want to try Demigod on its own first. My gut instinct is that Demigod rules are a little less powerful than Mythic, unless your GM plays really fast and loose with Pulse and Nexus Flexing.

And honestly, part of the design approach in creating the Demigod rules was to make a system that is a little less exception-heavy than Mythic so that GMs and players can focus on what is new to their specific builds rather than having to remember all the rules changes brought about by the new subsystem.

If you do this, you might consider leaving off the extra stat adjustments given to Demigod characters from levels 1 to 10 since mythic abilities will more or less even out to the same thing anyway. I'd also have to look more closely at how Pulse and Mythic Power stack up--the best answer would likely be to merge the two mechanics rather than using them in tandem."

How much crunch is in each universe? There is a moderate amount, but this is the core book of our setting and so it is more of an overview. There are a number of new creatures and NPCs included as part out the campaign outline part of the book. The real crunch for the differing realities is coming in the individual Realm books that are in the pipe.

The next three coming (after our updated versions of the Lich Queen books Richard spoke of) are going to be:

Shanghai Vampocalypse: a cyberpunk future setting in which a plague of vampires threatens to overrun the world. The vampires were created by a nanotech virus engineered to create supersoldiers and let's just say it got a bit out of hand.

Set Rising: A far future, high tech setting with a twist. Tech came to us through the auspices of Ra, the sun god. In this setting the Techno-Egyptian gods walk the earth and interact directly with mankind. As a matter of fact most of the tech is hard light based and was a gift from Ra. Set, however, has decided he wants it all and has begun sucking dry other alternate realities in order to stage the biggest coup ever....

Clockwork Dreams: Faerie meets Steampunk in a city that exists in the dreams of a dying philosopher.

And of course the Dungeonlands series, the Lich Queen books referred to above. In Palace of the Lich Queen the first 27 chapters each occur in different Realms and the heroes have to run a guantlet through them in order to stop and ancient evil. That one is a doozy, and Endzeitgeist just gave it 4.5 stars and his seal of approval.

Hit me with more questions if you have them! I'll answer as promptly as I can!

I'm thrilled to see this product get the spotlight today. A lot of effort went into it on every possible front. Thanks for letting me be a part of this fantastic team!

*Cheers!*

You were a champ on this one! You're my favorite editor to work with for a reason. Thanks to your work and Ali's the Lich Queen books are coming soon, and the reboots are gorgeous!


Andrew, your work was phenomenal! Thanks on behalf of the rest of the team for your kind words!

We are all very proud to finally have these out. After all, the Suzerain Continuum is all about BIG stories, and the potential of ascending to godhood has been the theme of many gaming session since the 1970s.

Suzerain has existed in three gaming systems, counting Pathfinder, over its lifespan. Being agents of the gods, telesmae, the extradimensional hideouts - these are all the baseline for the Continuum throughout its incarnations I'm jazzed to be part of this new incarnation.

Keep your eyes open, we will be dropping some freebies into the store soon! And then the Dungeonlands Series (Tomb of the Lich Queen, Machine of the Lich Queen, and Palace of the Lich Queen) will follow in newly re-edited editions with truly amazing new covers.

It's great to be active on Paizo now, and I'm just knocked out to have been featured on the blog!

May the Dice Gods smile upon you! Welcome to the Continuum!

-Loki, Pathfinder Line Developer, Savage Mojo


Thanks Richard, you're always a joy to work with!

Suzerain has been around since the early 90's and was an Origins Award nominee in it's earlier days. The meta setting has been a high profile Savage Worlds setting for years, and when we decided to bring it to Pathfinder the uppermost thought we had was to create something that retained that flavor, but played to the strengths of the PFRPG rules. Thanks to you and the rest of the team I believe that we did.

Our goal is to create the best and wildest Pathfinder products out there, so please leave us comments and reviews. They really do help us find and fix any flaws and deliver the best possible work!


So, you want to play a Demigod? Now is your chance!

Suzerain has come to the Pathfinder RPG and now that it is out we have opened for business here on Paizo!

Choose a place, a cave, a town, a far-flung planet. Now choose a time, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, when aliens invaded our star sector… once again, anything goes. Now choose a genre, from horror to swashbuckling, steampunk to sci-fi, fantasy to fairytales....

Where your place, time and genre intersect, that’s Suzerain. Try it again tomorrow when you’re in a different mood and that’s still Suzerain. Past, present and all possible futures? Check. Every possible alternate reality? Check. Mortal realms and god realms? Check. Check. In the Suzerain Continuum your gaming group just became…

...a Pantheon in the making!

Inside these covers you'll find:

All the background you'll need to run games set in any time, and any place.

48 new Pulse feats, allowing you to tap into the life energy of the multiverse! .

Telesmae - bonded, semi-intelligent items that grow with your character!

Your Pocket Realm! An extradimensional hideaway that grows as your heroes grow in power!

Flexing a Nexus - use your godlike powers to warp the nature of reality itself!

30 mini-scenarios including a campaign outline spanning the main eras of a character's development from Neophyte to Demigod!

Where most campaigns and adventure paths finish, Suzerain is just getting started. With Suzerain a starting character can expect to become true hero of the multiverse, meet the gods themselves, and become a Demigod!

To gain the full use of this product you will need copies of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rules and The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player’s Guide. Let your imagination run wild!

Suzerain is newest interpretation of Savage Suzerain. an Origins Award Nominee from the Savage Mojo design house. We are very serious about doing the Pathfinder RPG system justice with our design work, and not just dabbling in it. Look up the reviews for our last book, Palace of the Lich Queen and you'll see.


Not together, Palace alone is over 200 pages. There will be print bundles soon. The proofs are en route and once the boss approves them the hard and soft cover books will go on sale.


For a book that has only been out since December 11, Palace of the Lich Queen is starting to get some great reviews.

"Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying reading Palace of the Lich Queen. You guys did a great job providing a huge variety of scenes. Definitely the flavor of Planescape, or even the recursions of The Strange. And I for one would like to have my own time bathtub.

The variety is great -- every encounter is different and interesting in its own right. No way for the PCs to get bored in this one!"
-Ray Vallese (Planescape, Numenara, The Strange)

"As the final part (3) in a series of epic proportions, the Lich Queen wrap up, which started with Tomb of the Lich Queen and continued with Machine of the Lich Queen, is set to be one of the greatest dungeons ever created and can go right along side anything from the newer generation of dungeons but can find itself compared even to some of the immortal TSR classics." - Geekline415

The culmination of our three volume old school mega-dungeon, Palace makes your heroes run a gauntlet of 27 alternate realities and genres in order to reach their epic final battle with the Lich Queen herself!

Check out Palace of the Lich Queen while it's still on sale! 20% off until January 4!

Thanks for the shout out Richard, you were an indispensable asset on that particular book!

Yes, there will be a lot from the Tech Guide and it is something that I, in particular, am very proud of. The first 27 encounters take place across a shifting kaleidescope of alternate realities as the heroes try to make it to the Lich Queen's palace.

Tech Guide oriented stuff include encounters that range from Road Warrior style post apocalyptic (with mutants, because you've got to have mutants) to cybered-out high tech desperados. There is even a really nasty T Rex that has been technologically augmented.

All in all it is something we are very proud of. It ups the ante and hopefully will demonstrate to the community that we serious about Pathfinder and not just dilettantes.

First pass layout it almost finished so it should only be a short time before we make it available.

As always, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
