"Premade encounter groups, allowing Game Masters to quickly make use of the villains in each section." This is what I need for when my players suddenly decide to "investigate" areas I haven't detailed yet. Player 1 "Hey, there's probably a thieves guild in this city, right?"
The Mini-Mates aren't my style, but I feel compelled to buy Ostog the Unslain--primarily because I want to encourage Erik to indulge in this sort of thing more often. Seriously. Seeing the characters that the designers, developers, and everyone at Paizo creates makes me feel more at home in this community of gamers.
Clown Shape School transmutation [circus]; sorcerer/wizard 5
Range personal
DESCRIPTION This spell functions like polymorph self, except you assume the shape of a Colossal clown with a space of 30 feet. You choose the general appearance of the clown (creepy, scary, horrifying, terrifying, and so on), after which your appearance cannot be changed. A detect magic spell reveals a moderate transmutation aura on the clown and a hint of seltzer water. You gain a -20 temporary penalty to your effective Charisma modifier. You gain the ability to juggle and a +24 profane bonus to the DC of any fear spell or spell-like ability you use. Any creature attempting to use Survival to track you gains a +10 on their die rolls due to your unusually large and distinctive shoes.

I'm definitely going to look into some other freelance possibilities as well. I picked your entry as one of my top four and am disappointed and surprised that you didn't advance. You obviously took a great deal of time and effort. I look forward to buying your freelance work.
I am a big fan of Kyle Hunter's Downer comic that Paizo published in the back of Dungeon magazines. I happily bought the graphic novel/softcover Downer Volume 1: Wandering Monster when it was available. Sadly, Volume 2 was never published. I believe I read that Volume 1 didn't make enough money for Paizo to justify printing Volume 2. But what if Paizo created a Kickstarter to print Volume 2? Would you support it? If so, how much? I would happily spend $20 or $30 to hold Volume 2 in my hands--possibly more if the stretch goals interested me.
If a player adequately describes what their character is doing such that everyone at the table is entertained, they gain a +1 on the d20 roll--be it combat, skill check, spell resistance, etc. They must sufficiently answer the question "How exactly are you doing this?" The goal here is to be descriptive and to raise the level of fun for everyone involved. Players are not required to do this; if they merely say "I roll to hit," they don't get the +1.

I would love to see more support for levels 12-20. I would also buy books for levels 20+. But I've never had veal at Xmas. :( Organized Play Characters
