I'm kind of suprised we haven't really heard much of anything about Wayfinder yet - come on people, give us some details!!! :)

Well, it looks awesome, is chock full of great stories, articles, poems, and even recipes. Also, it starts off strong with a piece by Elaine Cunningham.

Any chance you could list what those great stories, articles and poems are???

Thanks!!!

[Guy Humual]

Thanks Shadowborn!

It sucks that Boswic didn't make it into the print version though :(
I'd have to say that I'd have preferred my "Dances with the Mantis" story over my prestige class making the cut. I suppose the editors go for the variety and there were probably already better stories included . . . but I like my fiction :)

I can't wait for the PDF!

[silverhair2008]

PDF available, please?

[Matthew Stinson]

Been reading through here and it all some top notch. Great work everybody.

[Wicht]

I don't suppose there's any chance of anyone involved with distribution heading to Origins on Wednesday, is there? Would save you postage if you didn't have to mail it to me. :D

Since the deadline was in March for Wayfinder #3, any idea when submissions for #4 will open up?

Or can you submit now?

Submissions will open up sometime after GenCon. I don't know when or what the theme will be, but that's what Lilith said at PaizoCon.

[Montalve]

patience patience, they just finished one.

Anyway since its already published in the Wayfinder, we from Pathfinder Chronicler in conjuction with Wayfinder Staff are organizing a Fiction Contest.

We are waiting just that the waters of Paizon calm themselves to give all the details. What i can tell you is the following:

-Wordcount around 1500-2000 words
-Amateur Writers
-Theme: Golarion & Pathfinder
-Submissions begin on 15th August
-Deadline 12th September
-We have invited someone of the Paizo Staff to be part of the Judges for this contest, but if someone else wants to join this we would be glad to have them aboard.

One detail.
New Fiction. Nothing already appearing in Wayfinder or Deviant Art, write something original please. You can use characters you have already used, but please not the same story. If they are characters owned by Paizo is ok to use them thanks to the Community Use Policy, if its someone else character, please get permision first.

There will be prizes for the first places, but i am in no liberty to mention them right now.
No there will be no inscription fee. This is to support Paizo's writting community.

Hope you join us in this.

amateur and pros, does not matter.

[Hugo Solis]

I'm working on the print version PDF for contributors for Liz to upload in Dropbow or somewhere else, for is a 10+ mb file.

The final PDF have to be redesigned because it will be larger (not too biggie an issue), So I have to put a some more hours in it and it will be ready next week around the weekend (hopefully sooner).

Thanks all for your effort and support!

Hugo or Liz,

Thanks! :)

Happily I was able to coordinate with the awesome Jeff Alvarez on getting Wayfinder #3 sent out from Paizo. I will post more details when I have them.

HUZZAH!

BTW: The Print version PDF is just a "preview" for contributors, for we do want all peoplez downloading the final PDF rather than the print-version PDF. That's why we do not send it over for Paizo to upload it here.

Wow - cool!

The folks at Paizo really are the best, huh? Not to mention Hugo and Lilith!

Can't wait to see this bad boy!

Wow. Great! Hopefully they'll send with next shipment to save on postage.

basically that Paizo is not paying you to write their stories. :)

[ulgulanoth]

awsome my holidays start just as the wayfinder pdf comes out... good times!

[Lilith]

An email has been sent to contributors with a link to download the PDF of the print version of Wayfinder #3. If you did not get a link, please email me (see profile for email address) so I can get that out to you.

A (very) rough ETA of the expanded PDF is next week. *goes to crack the whip on a buttery amphibian*

[Hugo Solis]

Owowowouch!....

*Continues sorting out confrontation minis* :D

Next week? Ouch. Just how much extra stuff actually does have to be crammed in to this issue, anyway?

[Hugo Solis]

Its some 6 more articles, plus add the 4 extras maps/minis pages, plus make some art bigger, plus re-do the table of contents, plus the dayjob, plus the family, plus pending art commissions, plus... ;)

We are working as fast as we can, please bear with us a bit longer :)

Well, with that much work the delays are entirely understandable. Wow. Didn't realize everything went that far over your estimates.

Dayjob? Family? Those may have to go.

['Rixx]

Aww, what? I didn't get a link to the PDF! :<

Me neither!

[Tarren Dei]

Me neither. Maybe that was Lilith from the future posting.

[Joe Wells]

Wow. I've only had a chance to skim, but it is beautiful. Excellent work, everyone.

And just think, the one for wide release is going to be even bigger.

I hadn't received one either. Just shoot Lilith an e-mail and she will hook you up! :)

[Hugo Solis]

Ooops, sorry guys, Liz send the link to her side of the emails (writers), I haven't get to do my own mailing to the artists and several donors... my apologies!

Will do it tonight around 9:00 pm central, stay sharp

[Charles Evans 25]

Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah! Channa Ti is back!
<happy dance>
Edit:
This one is so going to win an Ennie if it is entered. They will have to rename the award the 'Wayfinder Ennie', the way that Wayfinder is going to take it year after year after year if standards stay at these levels.

[Dane Pitchford]

I just have to add how impressed I am with this issue. Honestly, it's amazing, even by the standards set by the last two. Love it!

And I'm totally not biased or anything *coughs*

[Hugo Solis]

My apologies to the artists for I couldn't email the link yesterday, I was totally cut-off from any internet access.

I just emailed it now, so you should have it real soon. If by any chance you did not, just email me and I'll link you up personally.

Thanks for all your work!

[Callous Jack]

I got it, looks great!

[Hugo Solis]

Channa Ti without background!
