We've put a lot of work into the Pathfinder RPG, and I'm happy to announce today that we are launching a new game system for the RPG, based in large part on customer playtest feedback.
Please see the announcement here.
PS: We also posted new cover mock-ups for the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary.
AHAHAHAHA!
AWESOME! CAN'T WAIT! BEST PAIZO PRODUCT EVER!
EDIT: Is this backwards compatible with the d19 system?

ROFL!! Excellent!
That's a troll, my friend.
(Edit : Ninjaed by a monocular monster...)
I'm so happy to see the goblins on the bestiary cover.
Is that a Marilith in the background?
This whole thing made my day.
Don't throw out those old d20's yet. I found a way to convert them and I'm writing up a how-to.
I've heard that it comes with a special 6-sided die to convert d20 stuff to d21. Each side is labeled with one of the special d21 conversion factors:
* Runes
* Lovecraft
* Spikes
* Cleavage
* Anachronisms
* Disgusting
So you pick a boring monster like dire boars, roll the die, and you end up with awesome d21 runeboars!
I liked the 21 differences!
I appreciated that if you're going to have a gag, at least Paizo also pads it with something actually interesting to look at read too...
What's your prob, Joel? I mean, if that nose doesn't move, it just grows back ;)
Yeah, the spoilers mean that Paizo does d20 more than just one better!
No takers on my marilith question?
Thanks, Erik.
Hey, if they'll pull their guts out to read the future, what's a little nose here and there?

A whole new meaning to "picking your nose"? :)
[tongue+cheek=(outside of, see troll)]
It makes so much sense and is easy to convert on the fly. All these people complaining about additional math should get a basic calculator or set of counting stones.
[/tongue+cheek]
(Still would have loved to have seen Seelah on the cover of the main book. Call it a hold over from mocking... other covers.)
I, for one, am less than enthusiastic about this new d21 system. I've spent years accumulating various d20 dice, and to have them made obsolete in one moment is very disappointing. I refuse to buy any d21's - would it be allowed to simply roll three of my d7's?
In other news, whoo hoo!!!! Goblins on the cover! Goblins on the cover! I can see that little guy standing obliviously under the troll's chin yelling at a fleeing adventurer "Ya! You better run from me, stupid human!"
Ooooh! I was wondering what the final Bestiary cover would be like. Nice!
d21???
But that's going to throw out the bell curve on all of my random goblin tables!
Reggie.
This is hardly a new idea.
We have been using a d21 for years
No chance of rolling a 1 means no chance of fumble
: )
EDIT: Is this backwards compatible with the d19 system?
Better yet! It's forewards compatible with 21st Edition D&D.
Finally, somebody is talking about a real issue: forward compatibility.
If I hear another grognard whining about backward compatibility, I'm going to choke them to death on my shiny new d21s.

You know that's the goblin who's about to cut an important body part off of himself though.
ROVAGUG NOT KNOW WHAT 21 IS. ROVAGUG ONLY GO TO 20.
Your sucky d21 system is already rife with brokeness I tell you! I'm developing the True 21 System for serious gamerz!

Damn, there's an error in the system. This should be "Turd Ferguson", alias of Burt Reynolds!
That can't be a troll. It has no keyboard, and no dragon poop.

You Mouthy B*tch!
CATFIGHT! RIGHT NOW!

I, for one, welcome and wholely support our mouthy, frenching overlordesses.
Did not see why Druids, Rogues, and Barbarians don't Suck.
Because they do now.
(Just joking.)
Looking back over everything, it just struck me. Paizo's logo, made only for April Fool's Day, looks better than the one originally created for d20. Wow.

You mean the logo I threw together in ten minutes at the last moment, with the aim of making it as cheesy as possible? Sweet.
I kid you not, PMG.
That's just hilarious. It says volumes. You may say it says volumes about me, but I'm gonna say it says volumes about other folk.

Hey,
What I noticed was the expected release date of the Bestiary has changed to September. Wasn't it supposed to be out in July?
When did this change?
About a month ago. After a while it became apparent that trying to do a monster book before the core rules were finalized was a terrible idea, 1st Edition AD&D be damned.
