Hey everybody!

While thumbing through the Bestiary, I noticed that (as usual), Pathfinder had really breathed new life into a classic monster both with updated art and flavor. Specifically, I'm now seeing a cyclops as a valid building block for a memorable NPC, whereas before that never would have even crossed my mind.

I've been toying with the idea of making my own home brew "adventure path," complete with six adventures, fiction, player's guide, etc. for some time now, and I think I've finally got the right inspiration.

While searching through all my Paizo books, I could only really find one reference to the cyclopes of Golarion (side note - how fun is it that adding an "e" makes something plural?), and that was towards the end of the Campaign Setting in the "Beyond the Inner Sea" segment.

Is anyone aware of any other official sources dealing the history of the cyclops race as a whole, individual cyclopes, or locations of cyclops cities?

Any info would be immensely helpful, either from fans or if any of the writers could offer any insider insight on how Pathfinder deals with the cyclops race.

Thanks for your time!

I bought the Map Pack for Rise of the Runelords not too long ago, and I'm loving being able to just hand the maps out without having to make copies from the book myself. What I'd really like to see added to the Map Packs however is the pictures from each Pathfinder issue of the NPC's, events, and monsters.

I may be in the minority here as a DM so it may not be a viable venture for Paizo, but I like to have as many visual aids for my players as possible. They get way more into the game if they can connect a face to a name or have a physical representation of a menacing monster, instead of just a general idea in their heads of how it's supposed to look. For the entire Rise of the Runelords campaign I have been scanning the images from the issues, editing them in Photoshop to remove the text around them, printing them out, and then cutting them up and pasting them on those foam lined cardboard pieces used for science fair projects. I put the names of the characters or the type of creature they are next to the picture, then leave enough space for the players to write in their own notes so they don't ever forget pertinent information about that character.

It would be a big time (and ink!) saver for me if these were all pre-printed with the maps. In fact, I'd love to see ALL of the major Pathfinder characters, and not just the ones drawn in the issues, get their own drawings, as some of them I've had to find suitable replacement pictures for by scouring the internet for appropriate images.
