Is Paizo the heaviest contributer to the "new" look of 4E?


4th Edition


I am just glancing through the art in Worlds & Monsters before reading it more thoroughly and I see quite a few former covers to Dungeon and Dragon Magazines (and even the Compendium) in there as examples on the updated look.

Well, at least WotC is recognizing the great influence that Paizo has been on the game!

Woo hoo! We are proud that our work is being used in this manner. It was a delight to work on these venerable magazines, and it's neat to see how our work has influenced things over at Wizards of the Coast.

That said, it's also fun to be doing our own thing now, and I suspect every member of our great editorial and art staff prefers working on Pathfinder and our own material to working on a licensed property.

Thanks especially to the Paizo readers and fans out there who keep buying our material. We've got some explosively awesome stuff to share with you in the coming months,

Liberty's Edge

I noticed it too, with the stock tiefling look...

Beyond what's already displaying in the product list? Do tell. :D


I saw Worlds and Monsters and cracked it open to see how drastically different some of the monsters will change in appearance (hydra have no legs!)

To my surprise the first painting I see is the cover to the Mud Sorcerer's Tomb issue of Dungeon :)
