Pathfinder Tales: Lord of Runes

Thanks, Valantrix1.

Dragnmoon, I've found myself wishing I could see the spellings when I only listen to the audiobook.

Dragnmoon, I've found myself wishing I could see the spellings when I only listen to the audiobook.

That is the only problem I have with the audio format, I find I have problems remembering proper nouns/names.

Maybe we could get the "digital edition on the following sites" blurb updated to mention audiobooks from various retailers?

I finished the Novel and left a Review on Audible. The only issues I had was that I have missed all the prior books (I did not take that into account with the review) and the pacing was a little fast for me, but that may be because I am so used to such slow paced novels.

While I still hate the new price for e-books (see above), I really enjoyed the novel. Further adventures of Varian and Radovan will be on my buy list... I'll still grumble about the e-book price. I love those characters and their adventures.

Its unlikely I'll continue to buy every Pathfinder Tales book like I did in the past.

Listening to a book with a lot of names from a foreign language narrated by someone who don't know how to translate those names properly when you yourself do can be pretty darn annoying.

I just saw Lord of Runes on audible. I'm excited to pick it up. I really love these stories.

Does this mean that all future Pathfinder Tales will be released in audiobook form?

Vic is correct! It's a bold new world!

Couple questions James.

What are the chances of getting the older novels on Audible?

Outlook good. Ask again later. :)

I just got a copy of this, my first Pathfinder Tales novel actually, and I had been wondering if I should read other books in the line first or just dive in, but after going through this thread I am going to get started on it when I finish this post. That said when I got the book I remembered that I had heard that Pathfinder Tales books had boons/chronicles for Society play, and I found where those resources are for the earlier books, but not one for Lord of Runes. My question is will there be one for Lord of Runes later or are they being discontinued for some reason with the move to Tor?

We'll definitely keep doing the boons! Things are a little bonkers as we head into Gen Con, but it's absolutely on our list.

Wow—he's so excited he used the Magic 8-Ball TWICE.

I've got a question about chapters 16-17.

I'm pretty sure they had extra resurrection scroll that they used after the disintegration and luckily after Varian's special moment with SPOILER.

I dont have time to read this thread right now, so apologies if this has been asked before...

I like buying all my stuff from Paizo as pdf / ebook and love that I can see what I have (in your downloads) and what I dont have (no in your downloads) ...

So, as we cant buy the ebook from Piazo, please, please, please, can you implement an "I own this" button on products with no pdf, so I can mark them as "owned" in the product list pages?

Is this the end of the boys journeys or do I get more stories?

I'm such a Thassilonian junky, one should think I should have been an archeologist.

Will there be more of ancient Thassilon for these two, along with encounters and/or references to Lissala in the future?

I have to say, i find the new format particularly bad.
First, many of the ebook options are not available outside U.S.
Second, the one that is as far as i can see makes them cost nearly double the price.
Third, all options seem to cost more than the 9.99$ price tag here.

I don´t know, but for a pdf to cost nearly as much as a paperbook, that seems a bit wrong to me. And also joining those high prices on the book market.

Sadly most eBooks now do cost as much as paperbacks. I agree, they shouldn't, but they do.

The eBooks are luckily available in Italy, but they always cost more than $9.99 (not by much though).

Less than 25 physical copies left in stock! :-)

Any chance this and other Pathfinder Tales novels published by Tor will eventually receive Trade Paperback Editions? I would really rather have these in the same size as my other books in the series.

Thanks, Valantrix1.

Dragnmoon, I've found myself wishing I could see the spellings when I only listen to the audiobook.

Dave, when can we expect a new text by you?

Congratulations to "Master of Devils" selling out.
Lord of Runes will follow soon with less than 25 copies left. :-)

You have become my favorite writer and i need something new.
The Egorian Gazetteer in AP #106 was great by the way.

Thanks for the kind words and for the effusive review you left for Lord of Runes. I'm glad you liked the Egorian Gazetteer, too. That was a lot of fun.

There are no new Radovan & the Count novels in the works, but my next novella will be unleashed in February 2017. If you like "the boys," I bet you'll also like "the girls" in the new piece. As with Prince of Wolves and "The Devil's Pay," it launches a new line, and I can't wait to read the stories that follow. You may recognize a few familiar names on the covers.

That's all the detail I can offer now, but if you follow my web site or twitter feed, you'll be among the first to see the title and description once it's ready for mortal eyes.

I checked out this "The Devil's Pay" stuff, but it seems to be only available as kindle or audible, which is just not my thing. ;-(

Is the new stuff digital only or will there also be an actual book?
I will buy every actual physical product written by you (like the Black Wolf & Stormweather books).
So, the february release won't be Pathfinder or Iron Kingdoms but something all-new?
I hope you will write a Pathfinder Tale again in the future, but i will buy other books too and wish you the best of luck for the future! :-)

The new novella's something all-new, and it'll be in print with a gorgeous cover. It's in a setting for which I've long wanted to write, and

I once heard that the Iron Kingdoms books might one day see print, but that was a while ago, and I've had no concrete info on that front.

If you're looking for something to tide you over, I've stories in Champions of Aetaltis, Shattered Shields, and Gods, Memes, and Monsters--the latter of which got a nice nod from Ellen Datlow in the annual summary to her Best Horror of the Year.

Of those, the Champions story is the one closest to a Pathfinder Tale, and the one in Shields is the darkest--and the one I'm most likely to revisit one day. Both anthologies also include terrific stories by other Pathfinder Tales authors.

Thanks for the quick answer, Dave.

What´s up with "Tales of the far West" & "A Knight in the Silk Purse"?

Greetings from Germany.

Greetings from Germany.

FAR WEST is a crazy mashup of wuxia (kung fu), westerns, and a little bit of steampunk. My story in that anthology pits a group of misfits against the rail baron who injured them.

A Knight in the Silk Purse is the second in an anthology of Mesoamerican fantasy stories. My story in that one is a little dark.

In both of them, you'll recognize at least one other Pathfinder Tales author among the contributors.

And return greetings from Canada.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lord of Runes just as much as all of your Pathfinder fiction, thank you Mr. Gross.
I've read all in order to date and unfortunately for me find that I'm craving for more of Varian and Radovan.

There were two situations though that puzzled me towards the end of Lord of Runes, which I feel could have used a little more detailed descriptions and information about what was happening from the moment the group entered the Cenotaph until the very end.

I understood that Zora had left with Kaid and the Gray Maiden mercenaries to go back to Korvosa or even potentially Kaer Maga if the ladies were feeling merciful towards the thief/mage.

But the two unexpected occurrences for me were that Zora was with Radovan and the group when they were in the Cenotaph and then later on Kaid and the mercenaries came to the rescue when the group was attacked by Orcs.

Can you please explain the surprise appearances as I seem to have missed the explanations ?
