Pathfinder Chronicles / Companion: Aspis Consortium?

[Jared Ouimette]

I'm wondering if there is going to be a book like the Pathfinder Society for the Aspis Consortium, thanks!

[Crillitor]

I would be very interested as well

Four and a half years ... Paizo was just waiting for a second vote on this thread, so now it's totally going to happen.

[Quemius]

Yessss!

[Eric Clingenpeel]

It would be a nice accessory for PFS to better know our enemies.

[Roger Corbera]

Sounds interesting to me. But with stats for NPCs.

[edxerox]

gets my vote.

Every campaign can be improved by an evil megacorp/merchant's guild. Throwing my hat into the ring as well.

There is no need to be snarky, he was just showing his interest in this topic, and I also would be interested in this.

Personally, I would much rather keep the AC as a more undefined antagonistic organization as possible, so I would rather not have a book that details them more than they already are.

[Lore the Seeker]

I vote yay!

While I'd love more on the Aspis Consortium, they've spent a lot of time graying up the Pathfinders, to the point where some might feel a need to 'evil up' the Aspis Consortium even more, to make the Pathfinders look better by comparison.

I'd rather the AC not be totally two-dimensionally evil, or, if so, they have valid reasons to be so, such as heavily influenced by the church of Mammon, or something, where your station in the afterlife *literally* depends on how much coin you amass in life.

I'd want an AC that would welcome Gordon Gekko with open arms, and not be 'evil' by '80s 'Greed is Good!' / 'You can have anything you want, but you better not it from me!' standards, even if they are evil-as-all-getout by Occupy Wall Street / social justice standards.

I'd also be interested in where the name 'Aspis Consortium' came from. Aspis refers to a shield, and I wonder if the founders regarded wealth as a form of 'shield' or protection from the hardships and hazards of the world, and the man who successfully pursues wealth as being the best 'protector' of (and / or provider for) his family, lands and / or employees.
