Good timing.
A lot of people just got the Iron Gods AP through the Humble Bundle thing.
This would be a good companion for anyone thinking of running Iron Gods, I think.

Hooray! The art for the bioconverter is wonderful :)
I have a specific question about using the "Pursue the Iron Princess" side-trek.
Any thoughts about hooking this adventure to heroes who would be in Scrapwall?

Well I was going to pop in to begin asking for folks to review, but there already is one, so I will dig deeper.
First thanks for the review! All the folks who have put this together would love to know what exactly you enjoyed, and what we may have dropped the ball on. Details, we live for details! That said, seriously, thanks for the quick review. :)
Ok, I'm done. That feels better. ;)

The Annelidmorph is so weird and awesome! I imagine showing up to character creature with a GIANT PSYCHIC WORM.

To echo Dain......
We hope everyone is enjoying this new issue of Wayfinder! It's important to remember that all of it is voluntary.....no one gets paid to do this, they all choose to volunteer their time and talents to make this fanzine. Pretty much the best payment you can give those people? Your feedback. Tell us what you liked, what you didn't, and please consider writing a review on the product page, or your own blog or posts. For many of the writers and artists, this is their first published piece! They are on the cusp of entering the RPG industry, so feedback is critical to them.
So, please tell us your thoughts on this issue, or any issue of Wayfinder you've read. We would GREATLY appreciate it.

I haven't had a chance to read much (i.e. anything) yet, but some great art.
That cover is fantastic, super pulpy, but also something I feel like I'd pay money for in a Marvel comic.
I was going to list some of the other pieces I liked a lot, but there really are too many of them. Beatrice Pelagatti and Carlos Torreblanca's pieces, though, really speak to me (I kept seeing pics I liked and going back to find that one of them had drawn them), as does the bioconverter robot art.
And finally thanks to the artist of my chargemoth swarm; looks great, though I feel bad for that robot. :)

I have a specific question about using the "Pursue the Iron Princess" side-trek.
** spoiler omitted **
I'll have look at the AP volumes and see if I can't come up with some advice for you.

Okay, fess up, authors. Who made the worm race and pillbug race in this issue of Wayfinder?
Delightfully weird.
I can tell you that!
Annelidmorph was Ben Martin (art by Catherine Batka), and the Tura was Kelly Youngblood (art by Becky Barnes).
We actually listed the authors and artists by the order of the entries this time, instead of alphabetically. That should help ID who did what better, I hope.
Maybe they can weigh in here on what inspired them?

Oh, nice, and thanks. I didn't pick up on the credit order listing. Good idea!

Thanks for the kind words on the Annelidmorphs - I'm glad you guys liked them! Was a lot of fun to write that... (I gotta say I feel like the artwork really sells it, so thanks to Catherine Batka and Tim on that!)

Given the geography involved, the answer can be no. :(

This is just MY suggestion, and Eric may have better ideas....but I think the solution is
Have Krondarr (or someone from the village) go to Scrapwall looking for some help to mount a rescue. As the PCs explore Scrapwall, they can run into this side trek. They would leave to travel to the village, but it could be within a day's travel.
Just my take on this....

That's a good thought. Another idea I had (again moving the village) would be to have a PC Barbarian (or other Tribal Kellid) invited to go between Fires of Creation and Lords of Rust - They would arrive just in time for the "A Broken Wedding" encounter.
That might require lowering some encounter CRs, but not by much.
Am I reading the Siphon Structure spell (page 25 of this issue) correctly?
Could it be used to give Hardness to a Humanoid creature? (i.e., Could the caster carry a block of steel, and siphon that to give hardness to the party's fighter?)

Tim's idea is great, but feel free to use this as well:
You can set the dungeon at the entrance to any other mini-dungeon, or add it as a separate location, depending on the needs of your game.
Alternatively, you can relocate the tribe and run it between adventures 1 and 2, Krondarr can help even the odds for a lower level party.

Spoiler:Let the PCs meet Krondarr wandering through Scrapwall, searching for his stolen bride. Alternatively, move the tribe into the city limits and run the opening encounter as written.You can set the dungeon at the entrance to any other mini-dungeon, or add it as a separate location, depending on the needs of your game.

That's actually a great idea.
That Krondarr is alone (or more correctly, the only surviver of his group) may well give a hint of his leadership abilities. However, having the party encounter Krondarr in Scrapwall loses the subtext of his fellow tribesmen not wanting him as their leader.
Putting Jovrey’s gang in one of the unclaimed areas (E on the map) of Scrapwall is a good idea though (and avoids another random ruin), with the rest of the story playing out as written.

Let me know how it goes!
stupid question: Where would I go to contribute to the next Wayfinder? or is it veteran contributors only? I have a couple of Ideas

There is always a thread soliciting submissions for the next issue of Wayfinder. Search the messageboards for "Wayfinder #17".

Unfortunately, the deadline for issue 17 was on Jan 1st, but there should be a call going out for issue 18 once the shortlist for 17 has been chosen, and the dust settled.
The thread for issue 17 contributions is already kicking around ideas for the next theme; if you follow that, you'll see what's leading the running, along with some of the reasoning behind why some themes get picked, or not.

Dude, when you give directions like this, link the thread!
When all the free stuff here is just out of this world... ;)

There's a lot of contributors inspired by The Plain of Ten Thousand Swords, and the spooky goings-on there.
Whoever came up with that in the original book needs a pat on the back.
On that note, it may not be apparent, but the 'dark stranger' who protects three generations, in the song 'The Night Shepherd' is meant to be a shoki, and this is how the shokala (page 9) are sometimes made.
There was a sample NPC, intended to be the girl in the last verse, but space was tight.

I'm not entirely sure it's accurate, but the consignments page is telling me only 40 people have downloaded this issue. That suggests that only people who are interested in this issue are those of you who were published in it. PLEASE tell me that's wrong!
It looks like the interest cycle for this issue only lasted about 1 week, too. Now that we are 2 weeks out from release, I'm assuming people have gotten a chance to read through it. We'd love the feedback!

That does seem bizarre. I've downloaded it, and I haven't contributed to this issue. (I do need to finish reading it though. I should do that soon.)

I thought the cover art alone would draw people to this issue.
I think Paizo's counting kajigger is busted.

I've downloaded every Wayfinder issue, and have never contributed (but, I would like to).
In any event I still have an outstanding question (above) about one of the spells.

Spell's author here!
Absolutely! It does have a duration of concentration +1 round, so it will take up your caster's turn to keep the buff up. It is also only 1 hardness per caster level up to the hardness of the object being siphoned.
Still, a 10th level caster using a single 1st level spell slot to buff your front line melee could do worse with their action. I also imagine that chunk of steel would turn to mush and look pretty weird "melting" in your hand. Maybe you'll discover a new form of sculpture!
