Hurm... The original Greek rhymes with "play-dough," but the employees insist that it rhymes with "pie dough." Why is this?All I know is that it rhymes with "orange."
-W. E. Ray
Here's the one place I can find on the internet that will speak the original Greek out loud:
clicky. Much more like "pie dough" than "Play-Doh."
We tend to pronounce it pie-zo.
Ha! Proof Paizo recognizes pie's superiority!
Except "zo" is Hungarian for "to suck".
You would know. :)

"Pie suckers" doesn't sound so bad... especially fresh cherry pie.
Mmmm... cherry pie...

Stop it - you're making me hungry again.
Crap..... :P
Paizo stands for "not being forced to swtich to a game system you dont like" * I was very carefull not to say names or anything bad* as far as what it means eeh who cares.
I did like the official pronunciation from Ms. Lisa now I know to call if pie-zo rather than pay-zo, then again I'm southern so evryone expects me to mangle the english language anyway.
Stop it - you're making me hungry again.
Crap..... :P
Read the last page of the VomitGuy thread... you shouldn't be hungry anymore.

This is correct pronunciation in modern greek. I'm not sure where they came up with that "Paheed'-zo" or whatever it was. Bible scholars hmmph ;)
I think that "dz" only comes up in certain combinations and "paizo" isn't one of them. The "dz" sound is like the Greek approximation of the hard "J" since Greek doesn't have one. So if your name were Joe for example you'd be "Tzo" and it would sound like "Dzo"
Anyways. More than you cared to know I'm sure.
Paizo stands for "not being forced to swtich to a game system you dont like" *
I am so glad the RPG Gestapo did not come over my my house and burn all my old books.

Yeah, we all got lucky on that one -- the Gestapo realized that if they handled their PR and Customer Service that badly they'd never be able to burn all the old books. They'd have to settle for burning all the old PDFs they could get to.

The Romanian word for pie is placinta. This resembles an English word too closely for me to feel comfortable ordering it in a Romanian restaurant.
placinta de fructa?
Umm... I'll pass.
In Romania, do they pronounce Paizo as placinta-tso?
If you want to play D&D in Romania, you have to be able to read French, German, or Italian. No RPGs for the RO.
When is Paizocon di Bucharesti?
Or is it Placinta-con di Bucharesti?
In Romania, Pathfinder plays you.
Paizo is so awesome that it finds Chuck Norris.
I bet Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder.
Paizo is so awesome that it finds Chuck Norris.I bet Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder.I don't think he's a gamer.
If he was, the "edition wars" would have ended with a decisive victory for Chuck Norris.
But he is a gamer. He toys with those opposing him by kicking them 64 times a second instead of knocking them out right away.
He's waiting for a publishing company to create Chuck Norris, the Alpha and Omega. Then he will end all gaming conflicts, because all will want to play it.
When Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder and needs 12d6 he rolls 6d6, smacks the GM in the head and makes him see double. Of course, all 6's come up. Everytime.
When Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder everyone plays on a Norris mat instead of a battlemat.
When Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder and the GM asks him to make a roll he simply stares, until the GM says he succeeds.

The Romanian word for pie is placinta.
In Miami/ Broward County there's lots of restaurants with names like Spanish Placinta.
It's really frightening.
The first time I saw one I thought the restaurant owner had spelled something wrong on his restaurant sign. Then I started seeing it elsewhere.
It was frightening.
It's still frightening.

When Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder, all rogues loose their sneak attack.
Pathfinder bard's Inspire Competence fails on Chuck Norris. If you do not know why, you better ask someone.
All Pathfinder monks must be of the same alignment as Chuck Norris…or else they die, no save.
When Chuck Norris plays Pathfinder, he does not make skill checks, he makes skill demonstrations.
