*mumble grumble* not even dead ou stop giving me lousy jobs
I always said that we grow with opposition. I saved up the worldwound just for you, as a coming-of-age-present of sorts.
I figured that considering your 11 Acts, this one wouldn't be too hard for you.
It's just a bunch of demons - the only really dangerous one is Lamashtu, and she's not even involved.
And I may be a deity, but I can still brag: TOP OF THE PAGE LOL!* :)
*That's ancient Azlanti for "Hooray"

Is that a compliment, or maybe a challenge?
I wont dignify that with an answer
Punishment? Nothing could be further from my motives! Quite the opposite: I shall reward her.
*cofcof* I mean I am going to punish her if she stops... specially since the chase should be the other way around... don't temp me clown, you a re a good test to her dedication, but if you stop to amuse me I will send my herald to deal with you... it would be interesting to see what you do with all those blades...

thanks for the present dad... *mumbles as she prepares another strategy*

well it doesn't matter... what you open I will close... the closing its what it counts at the end of the day :P

"Should Be" is a blanked of solace for the defeated.

You'd be delighted! Or maybe not, considering your stuffiness. Couldn't you have Cayden or Calistria send their heralds, instead? There are some find points of the grapple rules I want to go over in detail, and they sound as if they'd be a great help!
And it would save your herald the shame of having all his blades nicked from right out of his halo.

That's the spirit, lass!

As it turns out... a fair amount of the folk here at Paizo are Robert E. Howard fans. And Lovecraft. And Jack Vance. And Clark Ashton Smith. And LOTS more of the writers Gygax listed in Appendix N of the 1st edition DMG. Erik reprinted that list in his forward to "The Anubis Murders," our first novel in the Planet Stories line. That list IS D&D.
I think this has a lot to do with why I am a fan of paizo I like a lot of that stuff especially conan personally and you can see some of those influences in paizo stuff.
Plus it is some of the few DnD products that are typical a fun read. Privateer Press did it with Iron Kingdoms too, White Wolf is the game company best know for it. Even if you don't use the game stuff they are fun reads.
Anyways done babbling at random with out a point now.
Midnight and Rokugan stuff is good reading, too.
But you're right: Pathfinder stuff doesn't have to hide behind anyone. They have a nice tone to them, and every now and then, you'll get a line that is way beyond awesome.
My two favourites so far:
In the category "Funny stuff"
Guide to Absalon, about a dive called "The Grog Pit":
"Anyone who buys a mug can sleep off its effects in the main hall for free (unless you count the price of being robbed, raped, or infected with lice), and bad behaviour never gets you kicked out"
In the category "Scare the bejeezuz out of you"
Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign setting, about the Negative Energy Plane:
"According to a rambling story told by the mad planewalking lich Xegirius Malikar, deep within the void is a sphere of polished black glass the size of an entire material world, known as Eternity’s Doorstep, nearly invisible against the darkness if not for its own gravity well. Engraved upon its surface in uncountable languages were the words, 'What you think of as life is a great deception. The faithful have already been claimed, taken, and saved. You are ours.'"

I agree completely here. You might also enjoy reading about Onara/Arcanis ;-)
Are there official fictions set in Golarion that we can read (without spoiling the AP, that is) ?
only the ones coming in the APs
but I think they don't soil the AP unless you read the adventure :P

There's the Journals in Pathfinder (Adventure Path) installments. The first 18 told the story of Eando Kline, and starting with #19, it will be about a half-elven druid(ess), written by Elaine Cunningham.
Beyond that, there's nothing - yet. Novels are apparently planned, but with everything that's going on, it's not quite a priority right now.
Major thread necro, but I can't find an answer.
How did Aroden become immortal before becoming a god?
I vaguely remember something about him being a mythic character anyway.
EtG.
He was noted as being a super-mythic wizard - when and how he became mythic is, as noted, extremely vague, but even in ancient Azlant he had a kind of micro-cult devoted to him, because of his mad sword-making skills... so much so that even the Runelords of Thassilon knew of him and his importance.
See, it was his sword which would determine the next emperor of Azlant, but he found none of the potential heirs worthy; thus, he kept it for a worthy heir.
In the end, he became a god by raising the Starstone, but he was definitely godly prior to that moment.
Having the ability to make a blade like that (with so much importance resting on it) implies, to me at least, that he was mythic, even at the time, while his many various feats (including solo'ing a CR 39 demon lord and said demon-lord's horde; laying out a super-wizard hopped up on so much necromancy magic that he surpassed the noted ability of the Runelord of Gluttony himself*; to other great deeds) would be impossible for even a "normal" 20th level dude with lots of time on his hands.

I have returned form the dead to take over the worl- oh, holy craaaaaap! *its head rolls off the side of the screen*

Holy seven year itch, this is a dusty thread!

This is great info! Do you have sources for all this, I would love to read in more detail. The only info I have is from the pathfinder wiki and inner sea gods.
