Congratulations you all - Great job!

Woo-hoo!

Yessss!

I should point out for readers that our "Lead Designer" doesn't mean the same thing as when Jason Bulmahn is the "Lead Designer" for Pathfinder. Tim is responsible for coordinating the artistic and technical design, layout, and functionality of our products..

This is why I'm only trusted with pretty pictures - writing is hard ...

Whoa. I was certain I saw some of your work elsewhere. Congrats!

Thanks! The author credit was an 11th hour surprise to me (Thanks again Jason)... so I'm still geeking out over it.

Currently I am the Lead Designer at Legendary Games so that might be where you've seen my name before. Also I've done a fair bit of layout work for some other Pathfinder 3PPs ... and that client list just keeps on growing. :) That said - Graphic Designers (especially in the 3PP world) only profit through sheer volume of work, so if you know a guy who needs a spare set of hands, let me know.

Also - a big THANK YOU to all of our fans for sticking with us and our madcap "Quality Over All" mentality. You all ROCK!

Winning!

1st RPG Author Credit! WooooooHooooooo!

So, this is what it sounds like, when doves *die*?

See what I did there?

So, other than "no hyperlinks," are there any versions you all would like to see from LG - mobile friendly, ePub/Mobi/Lit versions, page animations? PM me with your requests and I'll see what I can do!

So Awesome!

nice!

currently at the Redmond Town Center if anyone is up for grabbing a coffee.

I live fairly close to Gasworks (no, I can't save a parking spot for you), so if anyone is interested in a pre-con meetup drop me a PM.

You had me at "Firefly"

Thanks guys!

Of course the idea is to get way more than I can handle, so I'll be outsourcing a lot of stuff. A big part of the Buttefrog Studio is to be a managing/outsourcing business, so I'll be relying a lot on freelancers :)

Outsourcing eh? Well, I uh.. know a guy. I hear he's pretty good.

spooky spooky spooky spooky spooky

Nice!

(that sound you hear is our layout guy having a heart attack)! :)

And they shall say - He Died as he Lived!

Indeed....

If anyone else (up to 1-2 others) are staying in Seattle and are somewhat conveniently located between where I'll be and on the way to the con, I would be happy to drive you (no gas fare needed.)

I'm currently located in Walingford/ University District & currently have a whole flat of strawberries/rainier cherries... which may or may not get turned into pie by my amazing wife by the time of the con.

Just throwing that out there.

If there is a spare banquet ticket to be had, then I'm interested as well. Thanks in advance, and may your next die roll be 20.

Monkeys With Knives & Guns. That is All.

Nice! I'll be there!

... Tim Wickham our excellent layout man...

Shiny!

no worries - just trying to balance design-bandwidth in the weeks leading up to PaizoCon. You know, in case I need to tweak a logo... or whatever ; )

Most of the braintrust for Legendary Games will be in attendance (though not at any specific panels or table in the dealer's room). You can still catch up with Clark Peterson, Jason Nelson, me, Greg A. Vaughan, Boomer, etc. I believe Hugo Solis (art) and Timothy Wickham (layout) will be there, too. Just about everyone who's contributed in some way or another.

I'll be there for sure (as will Hugo) - looking forward to playing in a few games this year!

Bumping for Self-Interest: Any idea when the final decision will be announced?

Submitted!

Mmmm....velocichicken. Think of the strips you could get from that thing.

Forget that - think of the Commoners you could kill with that thing. *Flashbacks to Zelda's Chicken Swarm*

Possiblly in the book of knightly orders in Golarion?

I would buy that book, and run that Adventure Path. Golarion + King Arthur's Knights FTW.

*EDIT* Knights of Aroden.

I looked into the Alchemist, but it seems rather unsatisfactory how you need to jump through hoops to produce things that do stuff to things which are not you. It also breaks my suspension of disbelief a little to have a daily limit for that sort of thing, which Alchemists do with their extracts.

The tiny devices have delicate clockwork mechanisms that cannot (easily) be rewound in the field, or are powered by batteries/crystals that run out quickly and require a lengthy recharge time?

Good logic - I *might* steal this for a home game. It certainly provides something to think about.

From "Secrets of Golarion" at PaizoCon 2011.
1) Aroden (check)
2) Eye of Abendego (check)

and
3) Who created Golarion & Humanity" will never be implicitly defined

there might be more mysteries detailed later in the recording, but I can't remember.

Just a thought ... think Inception or any half-decent Twilight Zone episode:

Keep Deus Ex-ing the HECK out of them, past the point of absurdity and to the point of Cthulhu Dark/Groundhog Day level of insanity. Make them plot armored, the like Midas, curse the gods for their "blessing"

Bonus Points if you figure out how to leverage the Begged-For TPK into restarting the game, but this time for real... (all eye colors are switched back to 'normal' or some other "clear" example that this is the 'real' timeline)

Like I said ... just a thought.

Part 1 is now live on Gamerati+ (in the Videos tab).

thank you for this. Also for anyone who is interested in similar recordings: Chronicles:Pathfinder & KnowDIrection podcasts both uploaded 'Auntie Lisa's Story Hour / Tales from TSR" from PaizoCon 2011 - both are certainly worth your time.

My comments were there as recommended tweaks the actual judges could make to these logos before settling on a final look.

Remember kids - the Design process is one of Give and Take - and minor issues can always be edited in post. That said - fantastic job everyone! I may be in the top 5, but I'm tempted to vote for someone else's work instead.

Thanks for the clarification!

Wonder what we could do. A series of adventures building on what came before? Something like Thieves World? A book of NPCs using other folks OGL content?

Hmm...

Those are all pretty great ideas!

I'd love to be a part of it ... writing, art, graphic design of the final product, whatever!

You Have my Sword. (And My Axe!)

Quick request on behalf of all the other designers. Can you please give us a short "elevator pitch" regarding Dreamscarred Press (specifically what the needs are of this rebranding project), I can design 99 random logos for you in an hour, but I'd rather spend my time focusing on developing a single submission of the highest quality, one that will hopefully last for years (and win of course).

So - here goes,
1) What is the full text for the logo & the tagline/subhead that needs to be included?
2) Does this logo need to be more Modern/Professional or Antique/Fantastical?
3) Does it need to have the option of being Reversible (printable in White Ink only)?
4) Does it need to function on Trade Show Banners and Business Cards?
5) Anything else you's like to share style/opinion wise (like "No d12s in the logo")
6) Is there anything that will get a logo booted immediately (like the use of Papyrus or Comic Sans?)

Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone who enters - but I warn you, you best bring your 'A' game, I know I am.

Love it! Will certainly use this for PFS play.

submission sent! good luck to all of the other participants!

zWolf - I'd love to help take that ticket off your hands. Tim.wickham@gmail.com
