J.C. Alvarez?

[Eyebite]

Last night I was flipping through some of my favorite old Dungeon mags, and I came across The Elfwhisper in Issue #90, penned by J.C. Alvarez. Elfwhisper is one of my favorite adventures - kind of an overlooked gem.

Looking Mr. Alvarez up - I see that he did another article for Dragon, and has done some work for Mongoose Publishing, but not much else I can find.

Have you guys at Paizo kept in touch with him? Any plans to ever have him write a GM module or pathfinder chapter?

(Completely random, I know - I was just wondering.)

That wouldn't be Jeff Alvarez would it? Jeff is Paizo's Director of Operations, so if it's him, then I guess they have kept in touch.

I thought about that, but they have different listings on the RPG Database....so I assumed they were different people....

If they are the same person, he needs to get back to writing adventures, pronto!

Just checked his (J C's) bio on PnP, and it has a picture. Not the same guy.

I had that question my first day at Paizo.

They are indeed different J. Alvarezes.

For now . . .

Until they are sewn together!

That was a fun dungeon, to be sure. I'd love to see more work from him.

JC Alvarez, writer of the Elfwhisper adventure, present and accounted for. Came upon this thread by chance.

I retired from full-time game writing two years ago, after landing a rather demanding day job; however, I still get the freelance itch now and again (hint, hint).

Anyway, thanks for your kind words! It's nice there are still people that remember the Elfwhisper; it was my first ever paid gig and it does bring fond memories.

Cheers,

JC

I loved that entire issue, and even went to the trouble of tracking down the suggested music for the elfwhisper. In the end, my players fled out of the forest rather than face the hags. Ah well...

We were wondering what happened to you, JC! Glad to hear you're alive and well. :) Drop us a line to let so we have your current email on record (after 2 years we might not have it even if it didn't change). :)

[JCobal]

Sent an email to the address I used to contact you about my last three dragon articles. I assume (and hope) you're still using it.

Cheers,

JC

Yup! Received and replied! :D

[Eyebite]

Sweet! Good to see you're still producing stuff JC!

I thought Elfwhisper was awesome, I would love to see your work in the pages of Pathfinder.

Damn, I'm glad I asked now.

Who would have thought he'd have replied a month later huh eyebite? And the man's possibly getting back into the mix because of you! How sweet is that. :)

[JCobal]
