I hesitate to ask, but what would possess someone to read pathfinder in the bathtub? ... no wait, on second thought, I don't want to know.
Poor Crystal has her first typo (that I've seen). :(
"you know understand as much about creating new products as I do"
I think Chris Carey is supposed to catch those.
;)

Did you ever see the episode of Cheers where...?
... no wait, on second thought, I don't want to know.
Too late! Once I start rambling about a story, you can't make me shut up! (And Tyler Clark mentioned telling a story for 4 hours. Hah! I can tell stories to my kids that last for MONTHS AND MONTHS!)
In an episode of Cheers, Diane buys a rare, expensive book, and has to borrow money from Sam. When Sam gets nervous about Diane's ability to pay him back, she gives him the book as collateral. Sam pretends to consider the book worthless, but he is secretly intrigued. In fact, he starts reading it, and can't put it down, even when he takes his bath. Getting to a plot twist, Sam is so surprised that he drops the $500 book into the tub. It gets thoroughly soaked.
And then Sam's awkward situation turns even worse...
Hmm, I remember that episode as "Sam is so bored with the book, he falls asleep in the tub trying to read it, and the book gets soaked."
What is it, precious? We wants to know!!!
And more importantly, will it include art from previous Paizo products? ;-)
Well, we got an answer.
Sort of.
I think.
Okay, I'll admit: I don't get it. Does "Sci-Fried" simply mean that Crystal Frasier will review Planet Stories? And it's called "Sci-Fried" because F and R are the two first letters in "Frasier?"
Or am I missing something?

Cristal, read "Dark God's Kiss", I believe you might like it. Itsa bit more fantasy than science fiction, but its pretty awesome, we added a review here in the Pathfinder Chronicler
Dark Wrold is on my list "to buy", but right now I am trying to get at least 1 of every author presented in Planet Stories... right now I have Gygax, Merrit, C.L. Moore, Kuffner & Howards...
Merrit will need to white while I finish my visit to Almuric... or wether I survive te experience or not...
So, Crystal, do you prioritize which books you read based on the presence of redheaded women on the cover?
This is why I want to read The Ship of Ishtar. That cover is awesome.
I'm not presently reading Planet Stories (it's conspicuously missing from my subscription tags), but that cover is seriously tempting me to pick that book up.
I know, I know, I shouldn't judge a book by the cover, but it's been vetted by Paizo staff so it can't be bad, right? I also saw some internal illustrations that intrigued me.

I have just begun and its a great begining :)

The Ship of Ishtar is really, really awesome. I HIGHLY recommend it. If you are considering a Planet Stories book to read, like high fantasy, and enjoy reading the work of writers who enjoy language, I think you'll really enjoy it.
And if you think the cover is awesome, your jaw will hit the floor when you see the TEN Virgil Finlay interior art pages inside. Wow, they are awesome, and they've never been collected together before in any edition of this classic fantasy novel.

ohh in this I agree with The Mona... the art inside is just... ok theonly word that cames to me is... delicious... and while you read mixing that with the images that brings the text... is just intoxicating... finished chapter 5... or 6

Finlay illustrated nearly every Merritt novel (some multiple times), and the two artists' styles merge perfectly with one another. It's the publishing equivalent to chocolate and peanut butter.
By the way, Virgil Finlay was also the best man in the wedding of Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, two other writers we've published in the Planet Stories line.
The man got around, bless him.
Nice post, but I think you have the proportions off. I think it's more like 457% swamp. Anything that doesn't appear to be swamp is. It';s just taking a break between rain clouds. Or surface has solidified just enough for housing to be built on top.
