What happened to Mike?

I'm pretty sure I just found the hidden Paizo video footage of what happened to Mike.

Damn, these boards have a huge golddragon-shaped hole in them. My kae-sense was tingling all this time and I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Really sad to see you go, Mike, but I wish you the best of lucks with your future endeavours.

Man, this stinks. It's been a crappy last few weeks. Tim Russert dies. George Carlin dies. Stan Winston dies. A 21-year old coworker of my wife dies.

And even though he hasn't died, one of the components of the winning Paizo team has left the building. Is Mike still going to play in Erik's campaign? Wow, Jason, James and Wes got to be bummed. Certainly no more than I am.

You'll be missed Mike. Happy trails and stuff.

But he'll write this 600 pager? "Magic schools of Golarion" or so? ;)

Mike, I wish you all the best and I'm glad that you'll continue to contribute to Pathfinder/GameMastery/whatever.

That sneaky ninja! He came back and stole the first 40 posts of this thread.


Yes... the Master used his ninja powers to sneak out of here.

Then he put them back, just to make me look whacky.

Godspeed, Mike!

No, wait... that's Heathansson's power... nevermind.

I'm lucky, I guess.

Although Mike's not working AT Paizo anymore, I still get to hang out with him, be it at parties or games or movie night or whatever. So while I'll certainly miss working with him, to me it's not like he actually WENT anywhere. He'll certainly sill be writing for Paizo, that's for sure!

He'll still be around on these boards now and then, I suspect, although not as often since now, patrolling and posting on them isn't part of the job. Which would be in and of itself kinda weird to me...

Anyway, the Ninja fans should rest assured that he hasn't gone away. He's just increased his stealth powers!

That was my thoughts. He managed to pull one hell of a ninja vanish on us.

Good luck and safe journey Mike. Just don't forget to pop in every now and then.

That's my point, I don't need no help.

Now, go do your little smoke pellet thingy.
buh-bye.


I feel your pain Heathansson, posts just get popping in and out for me in this thread (seriously, this thread behaves really odd). The man must be quite a master in his stealthy arts...

I want arrows for Evil Ninja and Callous Jack, or at least make them post only in the 4e section.

Mike, anyone who can instantly recognize an uncredited, oblique reference to an old Scooby Doo episode is darn cool in my view. You'll be missed. Good luck to you.


Best wishes, Mike.

Indeed—as soon as he finished up the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting, he began in earnest on Pathfinder #14...

I'll certainly miss that little dragon as I scroll down a new thread.

Job well done Mike, best of luck in your future endeavours!


Awww, I hate to see you go, man~

It's been fun reading your stuff, Mike, you've done some awesome work. The Guide to Korvosa was a truly awesome piece of work. I'm glad you're not out of the game, just trying new things. I'm equally glad to hear that you'll still be contributing more Golarion stuff to Paizo. And I hope it's not too much to ask that you put in an appearance at next year's Paizocon? ;)

All the best to you, sir, and godspeed. Whatever you're doing now, I hope it goes well.

I will miss the nerf wars.

I bought this http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/default.cfm?page=viewproduct&product_id=1788 9 especially for him. Not *for* him per-say. More for me, with Mike as a handy target.

One thing I did not realize when I began is that he and Jason had a bit of an alliance. Between Jason and Mike, they have enough Nerf weapons to invade a small country. I held ground for... oh... 3 seconds before I fell, buried under a hail of small foam darts. It was a good day and I miss working with Mike, very much. He helped get me into this company and was one of the people who made me feel very welcome in Seattle when I moved here just over a year ago.

So, I join all here when I say may you meet friendly strangers, always have a full mug, and the wind forever at your back!

Hip Hip!

You bought something from ... Hasbro!!!! Traitor! Traitor, I say!!!

So that's why Jason undertook nerf--I mean revising--3.5 s diligently. I get it now.

Well, we'll need him in somewhat decent shape for the Society :)


Ah, crap. Mike, I'll miss your zany presence on these boards. I'm glad you'll still be around to contribute to Golarion, but I understand we'll likely see less of you here. Our loss. Best of luck w/ your next ventures!


Mike: May you always have a good wind in your sails, a fat galleon off the port bow and a fine crew to plunder with! ... O.o oh wait ...

May your blade stay sharp, your steps nimble, your honor pure, and may your ancestors smile down upon you with pride!


Goodbye Mike.
<Wonders if the strain of all those Acadamae questions on the Guide to Korvosa thread were in fact finally too much for Mike, causing him to flee Paizo and use his ninja skills to hide himself away somewhere....>


What if we all put on those Japanese school girl outfits and did that wierd dance? Would he come back? It's worth a try.....

Your presense on the board will be greatly missed, Mike :)

Sovereign Court

Damn. Damndamndamn! I really enjoyed meeting you at Paizocon, Mike. I hope to see you there again next year.

Hmmmm.... Now that you are not editing at Paizo, that means you have more time to write more Pathfinder goodness!! Maybe this is a win for us fans after all!

Man I go and buy the Guide to Korvosa cause Mike tells me it's good then he packs up and leaves.

Sneaky, sneaky.

Still the Guide was most amazing. I loved it. Great work Mike, I hope to see plenty more.

Scarab Sages

Dude!
You'll be missed.
You rock.

Good luck with your new gig.


A part of me started to yell "Noooooooooooo!" But I stopped for 2 reasons:

A) My wife is asleep. I do not wish to incur her wrath.

B) Mike probably had a good reason for his decision and who am I to second guess him.

I will however miss his presence here.

I'm also dearly hoping we'll be seeing him and his character (or series of characters more likely) in Erik's new campaign which Jason claims he's going to write a journal for.

ALL HAIL ZOMBIE MIKE !!!

May your scales never tarnish !

HUZZAH !!!


I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of contributions from Mike.

With ninjas.

And I'm pretty sure we'll see him on the boards again.


I tried to arrange for a 21 gun salute to see Mike off, but my budget only allowed me to get a sole party-popper. So...

*PAK*

Farewell and good luck, Mike!

I got one going but all of the gunners were mercenaries and died of heartattacks when I shouted "fire!"

Scarab Sages

Mike! Noes :( even whilst I was lurking I always looked forward to Mike's contributions to a thread, just seeing his avatar makes me smile...
So long as he comes back occasionally I guess it's all good, after all, who else here will stand for truth, justice and the Korvosan way against the barbaric Shoanti hordes? :P
All the best in whatever you are moving on to Mike!

Scarab Sages

Bye McArtor.

You can always do it for my benefit (hint, hint...)
