First, I would like to thank Lilith, hugo, and all who made this possible.
Second, the art for my story, "What Comes Back", absolutely ROCKS! YEEHA!
Third, I sent a copy of WF3 to my sons. Now they think I'm cool again. :)
Fourth, Lilith, if you're moving to the Baltimore-Washington area, I'll be happy to lend a hand once we dig ourselves out of this snow.

[Chants] We want a plushy Zonzon! [/chants]I am ready to open negotiations with Paizo to begin a line of plushie Zonzon dolls.
That would be awesome :D
This looks great :) However, I have one gripe:

Good point. That won't happen again

This Issue is even better than the first!
Congratulations to all who worked on this.
Now I don't want to work through all the 612 posts to check if that has been brought up before:
What about making Wayfinder available as a PoD product? I dealy love a dead tree product. And as the content is free, we would only have to pay for the printing. 80+ pages full colour will be kind of expensive, but I am more than willing to shell out about USD 20 (or about 15 EUR) for this.

They've been talking about getting Wayfinder #2 up on Hulu, so I think it's only a matter of time now.
Believe me, as one of the cover artists, I'm eager to get a physical copy myself. I gots people to mail copies to. :D
i liked that comic! :SGood point. That won't happen againThis looks great :) However, I have one gripe:
** spoiler omitted **
The comic is really cool and funny, but it does let out a huge spoiler... We will continue to make comics, we'll just try not to spoil the game for DMs/PCs that bad :P
Not that the Wayfinder editors had any way of knowing that.
Precisely. What the editors see is what is on the page, and while all the editors did an awesome job (for free), they can't know what you were thinking when you were writing it, or what your intentions are for the character in the future. What They See Is What You Gave Them.

One more gripe, this time from me: this issue was FULL of typos. Lots of 'em. Buckets, even.
My biggest gripe is that the PathfinderWiki ad we worked really hard on making look good (even going so far as to design a new logo) was omitted. I hope it can be added to the pdf before it would be submitted to Lulu for PoD.

This was a simple layout error that never got caught; it's not a slight against the Pathfinder Wiki in any way. The problem has been corrected and will appear in the revised version that will be loaded to the website when Vick is feeling better and returns to work.

Awesome. I figured it wasn't intentional, but I wasn't sure if there were plans to update the pdf. Glad to hear there are :-D
Yesterday I got an idea for a couple feats. I can't wait.

We hope next time the writters will double check their articles. The editors polish the articles but can't fix the entire thing 'lest they quit their jobs and dedicate themselves full time to Wayfinder...
SO please be more careful with your articles. If we spot typos/errors/etc, we will fix'em, but please understand that we are dealing with dozens of articles, authors, artists, ads, and graphic design and we are only like 7 people working on hour spare time on this. So errors do get pass by us and we produce our own share :P Of course we apreciate you pointing these to us so that we can fix what we can.

I'll help proofread on the next one.
also any guidelines on submissions? i have a large project in mind for submissions but not sure if is should start if it can't be in the wayfinder
See the first post in this thread. Any larger projects will have to be reviewed and approved by me.

I checked my submissions for typos several times, and didn't find any, but when I checked them against the published version, I found errors that were not originally there, as well as bits of sentences that had been removed.

*runs and checks issue* - whew, I didn't edit yours :) For some reason I thought I had.
I'll offer up my editorial services for Wayfinder #3. I intend to submit an article, too, but as long as you deem there's no conflict of interest, I'll be happy provide editorial/proofing for my favorite fanzine!
I can recommend Mr. Crenshaw, on the basis of having to strain to find anything to edit in his entry (this happened more than once this year, but his stood out).

Wow. Thanks for editing my entry, Majuba. I do my best to submit clean copy, but I also made sure the piece got at least a few editorial passes from other folks before I submitted it.
As a member of both the Pathfinder Chroniclers and the Wily Writers, I have the support of some very talented people.
<unsolicited advice>For those of you interested in submitting to Wayfinder #3 or doing any kind of writing for publication, I highly encourage seeking out writers groups.</unsolicited advice>
And just to make sure the thread doesn't get back on track too soon:
I'd buy TWO Zon-zon dolls for my daughters. I mean, therapy's not that expensive is it? ;) Seriously, though, I loved the "Crystalhue" article, and the Zonzon tradition is both touching and fabulously creative.

Hey, if you are talking about your monsters, I was the first editor on that one. I’m busier than a rot grub in a pile of filthy cultists right now, but when I can take a breath, I’ll go over your original, my edit, and the final product and shoot you an email. Sound good?
For you:

There appears to be a problem with the pdf download. The following excerpt from what I take to be part of the text of the play 'Burnt Offerings' appears twice in the last article, between pages 76 and 79:
MILOSH
Ow! Remind me never to go hand to hand with you.
AMEIKO
Don’t worry about it, handsome. A couple of years on the
road exploring the back roads of Varisia and, with any luck,
you’ll be half as good as me. (MILOSH laughs) Your dad was
just here. (MILOSH stops laughing and scowls) You should
have seen him. “You will have fun. Any of you cutthroats
having too much fun will face my steel.” (FINN laughes,
MILOSH doesn’t.) Ah, lighten up, Milosh.
FINN
Hey Milosh, how did the test go? (MILOSH’s mood goes dark)
Did you get into the garrison?
AMEIKO
Finn.
FINN
You’re going to be working with your dad?
MILOSH
I didn’t make it. Gabe got it.
AMEIKO
Milosh...
MILOSH
There was only one slot this year.
FINN
But you’re twice the swordsman as Gabe or even Ameiko’s
brother, Tsuto.
MILOSH
My dad, excuse me, SHERIFF Hemlock, doesn’t think I’m ready.
AMEIKO
Don’t worry about it. We all know...
MILOSH
Don’t worry about it? Don’t worry about it? That’s easy
for you to say. You’re no older than me and your dad gives
you a tavern.
AMEIKO
Milosh Hemlock! My daddy didn’t give me a thing. This was
my mother’s family’s tavern and you know it.
Good catch, Charles!
If the duplicate text is cut, the remainder could be shuffled forward, allowing for a foreword, explaining the background to the play, and crediting the name of the school and teacher who adapted it.
I think that's important, as not everyone will have read the blog, or be aware of how this play came about.

For you:
Spoiler:Typos are terribly embarrassing, and if that’s the case and it’s my fault, I apologize before even re-checking the documents, though I will again. Now, I’ve got a bit of experience with monsters, but I’m not infallible. If something in the statblock or how a special ability was worded was changed, that’s just part of editing. Absolutely nothing I’ve ever written that has gone through publication wasn’t changed in some way. I’ve seen errors slip in after edits, and I’ve had editors and developers catch huge freakin’ mistakes I’ve made that seemed perfectly reasonable when I wrote them. Anyway, soon as I kick these deadlines’ asses, I’ll go back over your stuff and see what happened and give you feedback.
I feel like a jerk now. Sorry. Still, though, your plan sounds good. Also, if need be, I could do some proofreading for Wayfinder #3. I've always been a stickler about spelling and grammar, and I'm reasonably good at catching typos and awkward sentences.

Hugo has convinced me to maybe do some artwork for this one, so I'm tentatively in.
Also, as I mentioned on the Wayfinder #2 thread, I'd like to get into some of the editing aspect for Wayfinder #3. I've always been a stickler about spelling and grammar (at least, as far as print media go), and I could help combat some of the issues that were present in Wayfinder #2.

You do realize, don't you, that this is the Wayfinder 2 thread.

Weird... That was the thread I had open. I have no idea why it ended up on this thread.
