Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Technology Guide (PFRPG)

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--

squee frequency goes higher than human auditory range

EML's head explodes

This has been the AP and supporting materials with the most enthusiastic responses I have ever seen. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

*SOON*

Brick shat.

Want. Need.

Also... Valeros! I heard some people don't like your build! Well now, we can rebuild him! We have the technology!

Holy poop. Can we fast forward the calendar? I don't mind missing out on a couple of months.

Noooo! Don't touch that calendar*. We still have to finish making all this stuff.

I may have stolen a sentient item that can do the next best thing. There may be an awful lot of running involved, however. And I have a habit of leaving the parking brake on.

Not sure I'll really like this as part of a fantasy campaign, but it might come in handy for finally putting together my long-hedged plan to turn Green Ronin's city of Freeport into a space fantasy space station. Hmm.

Very nice! I'm hoping that all of these tech-based Golarion books eventually help spawn a full hardcover setting-neutral futuristic rules book.... Yes, that would make me very happy.

NEED THIS!

On the one hand I'm hoping this is an early April Fool's joke, on the other hand... I might not be...

Y'know, besides the obvious Iron Gods/OMG SPACE expectations, there may be quite a bit here for Final Fantasy/magitek fans too, eh?

This is a perfect way to bring the magitech back to my magitech home campaign setting.

Oh yeah. I knew we'd get some info, but I thought it would mostly be buried in an article or two in Iron Gods...definitely looking forward to this. Not only for Iron Gods, but for people who want to run something involving Vercites, more fun with other kinds of aliens in general, advanced magitech settings...and, of course, Hellworlds and the possibility of cyborg devil troops attacking after Hell's plan for the subtle approach goes under...

I'll be honest. I'm hoping this is something of a testing bed for an Advanced Genre Guide hardcover.

Am now imagining a marilith weilding an ammo-replicating flaming SMG, a vicious monofilament wire whip, a wounding chainsaw arm, a vorpal lightsaber, a shock-stick, and a gravity gun. And she has a plasma-lance "stinger" cybernetically implanted in her tail.

Damn.

I'm just curious whether we're going to discover that before devolving to their current level of technology, space-going Grippli established the first civilizations on Golarion along with huge energy generators at the poles that have now caused dimensional rifts allowing Things from Beyond to cross over... ;)

Well, since outsiders can be summoned to almost anywhere on the Material Plane, and Distant Worlds pretty much says it makes little difference to most outsiders...my personal pet theory is that there's definitely a demon lord or two who're doing their best to hide their cache of stolen technology as they experiment with it and build their armies of cyberdemons...while Hell mostly keeps it in reserve for those worlds where they've given up on the attempts to seduce, trick, or behind the scenes take over...and just do a plain blatant military takeover with Hell's finest cybernetically enhanced devils...and mortals from those worlds that have fully fallen into Hell's arms. (I mean, there have been comparisons to Apokolips for Hellworlds...I figure at least some of them have got some extensive cybernetics going on...) One had to wonder if at least a few kyton demagogues aren't dabbling in cybernetics and genemodding too...

I think I made a puddle on the floor. SO WANT THIS NOW!!

Ooooyyyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!

I really hope none of these listings are April fools jokes, because people would buy this stuff.

If this is an April Fools' joke, it's been going on for weeks as I crunch all the numbers in the book to get it ready for print in time for the Gen Con deadline. In such a hypothetical, the joke would surely be on me.

I already put alot of these on my wishlist. If it is a joke, it's a bad one.

I seriously need to make it to GenCon now.

I so want this!

Is anyone else wondering how long it would take for Mikaze's heart to give out if such magitech things were added in to her Wrath of the Righteous campaign?

What would happen if she encountered the above Marilith, only Mythic, leading an army of half-cybernetic tieflings with implanted hellfire blasted pistols and prehensile monomolecular bladed tails?

Well, Mikaze is a dude, so unless there's some cybernetic augmentations that would give him lady parts...

Already on it, my good man. My "Magitek Factory" adventure from a PaizoCon of past is going to get some dusting off.

And to reiterate, these product announcements are *NOT* April Fool's jokes. I would not have stayed as late as I did last night to get them up on the site *before* today if that were the case. :D

Actually that explains why so many came out at once yesterday quite nicely. :)

NONE. YOU WILL HAVE OUR SCI-FI PEANUT BUTTER IN YOUR FANTASY CHOCOLATE AND LIKE IT.

Or not—not everybody's gaming tastes are the same. :D

No, we won't. We'll just quit playing like we did when you announced gunslingers. Only this time we won't return a year later.

To each their own, bud.

* throws wallet with credit card and a wad of cash at screen *

Just.....just TAKE it. Take ALL my money.

Announced! Cover image is a mockup and subject to change.

Got this announcement on April 1. Something smells funny. :D

I sure hope not. This would be an awesome supplement.

It's not an April Fool's joke.

And I know some folks aren't interested in Technology rules... but we're doing them. Overall, I am VERY delighted with the overall response so far... it's a relief to see justification that the AP I've wanted to do for so long isn't only something I'm interested in.

Folks who want a return to more classic concepts will be delighted in the NEXT Adventure Path if they stick around. I'm looking forward to it, for sure!

I thought we had something special!

Ooohhhh yyyeeeaaahhh.

You know you wanna play it again...Once more, with feeling!

With this book and the other Iron Gods related releases, maybe we will be able to take PF rules and play a sci-fi or post-apocalypse RPG. About time. I too hope that the Iron Gods AP is a proving ground to feel out the public demand for a full-on sci-fi version of the rules. Unspeakable Futures a la James Jacobs anyone?

I agree 100%, Gregory. I would love to see Unspeakable Futures somewhere down the line.

As a matter of fact... just as the gunslinger was adapted from Unspeakable Futures... large portions of this book (about 2/3 of which was written by me) is pretty much directly ported out of Unspeakable Futures.

And if Iron Gods and its support material do well, that will certainly inform us at Paizo as to the demand and interest in a science fiction game.

That would be sheer Chaos... ;)

I've always been a firm believer that if done correctly, you can use the d20 system for any genre. So I cannot wait to do this. I've always wanted to do a Pathfinderized version of Space: 1889, even if I have it for Savage Worlds :)

Here's to hoping PF gunslingers are better shots than the Star Wars ones...

Hopefully to be set in Golarion's solar system! Vercites rule!!! :D

Play an android paladin of a janiform Sarenrae/Brigh, arm myself with a +5 merciful EMP burst hardlight longsword, and redeem the $&@! out of them.

On the one hand, it does increase the reasons to explore Numeria. On the other hand, I suspect it's a prank. But I would buy this.

The April Fool's Joke is that this is not an April Fool's Joke ;)
