Well folks, it's my first post here on the Paizo Boards; I'll try to make it a good one.
I'm currently building a new project that I have over on KickStarter.com. It's called Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters. When I initially started writing this game, I did so under the 3.5 edition rules of D&D. When 4e came out, I started refining the rules to match.
Now that I've actually begun the KickStarter, I have had several people approach me asking if I would be creating this game for PF. I hadn't considered it, but after getting a couple requests, I'm definitely considering it now.
That's where you come in. If I were to put my effort toward updating my rules to accomodate PathFinder, would you be interested? Here's a very rough concept of one of the monsters redone in Pathfinder. I'll have a playtest document done tonight for anybody who pledges $5 to the Kickstarter and wants to try out a full team of monsters in a miniadventure. Thank you.

I like the idea.
I have trouble with pokemon artwork and type of games.
Can you describe the direction in what products will come after the items of the kickstarter is finished? ie, what line of products in the future from the company.
What is the general target audiance age range in which you are aiming for?

So your first post here you come asking for money, despite never having made anything for our game and you can't even keep your preview link up? Not a good start.
You have a very good point, actually. I'm sorry I forget that not everybody follows the same boards. I'm actually very familiar with the system despite not publishing anything under it yet. I do have the Myths of the Far Future Adventure Path coming put for EnWorld in both 4e and Pathfinder.
As to the comment about money, I'm only saying that I was considering doing this (I have since decided to actually). I wasn't asking for anything that you wouldn't want to give if you were interested.
Alright, on to the good stuff. Tonight I posted a preview of the attacks list, which totals to 576 attacks. These make up the bulk of Pathfinder spells and describes how they affect monster battles differently than they might in a traditional D&D combat.

@ Amora Game: thank you for pointing that out. I do intend to support this in the future with adventures, additional content (monsters, characters, attacks, things like that). Thank you for pointing out the registry, I'll need to look into that. With the work I've done so far for Enworld, I assume Morrus took care of that.

Alright, in keeping with ShadowcatX's suggestion, thePathFinder Preview is finally available!
Of course, please don't hesitate to let me know if you notice anything off. This is only a concept still, afterall. Enjoy!

Thank you forgetting a preview up, that's much better. A list of your credits (of stuff already out, even if not for pathfinder) might be helpful as well.
That said, I don't think this project is for me. I do wish you all the best with it though.
Likewise, and thank you. My only credit in Pathfinder currently just came out today actually. Here's the link
Myths of the Far Future Player's Guide
I've also released several products which can be found at Drivethru RPG

Announced a new, possible reward for the Kickstarter. Want a REAL monster of your very own? Check it out.

I've updated the Pathfinder Preview on Drivethru RPG and added a Pathfinder specific update to the Kickstarter tonight. Enjoy!
| malcolm_n |
I've added the first class preview for everybody for both PF and 4E, and will add at least 1 more for backers before the project's through. Enjoy!

Alright folks. I'm shifting gears completely on my project Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters to Pathfinder for the next 13 days. Already we've had some major updates, with much thanks to Cody Martin for his initiative in getting me to do so.
Today (4/5/13) I've got a preview of the Trainer Class and its archetypes. I'll continue to provide regular updates as we go, so please join us and help make this project truly as great as I know it can be.
The preview Packet is also still available for free at Drivethrurpg and will see an update today or tomorrow with this new information and some errata.

Some visual previews of the updates I've been making. First is one of the playtest characters from the packet. Keep in mind, these are full and ready to play characters, not just a preview of the monster.

Second is the trainer class as we're working on it.
| malcolm_n |
If we can break $1000 on the Kickstarter in the next 24 hours, I'll write up a new archetype for the trainer. The Performer. Check out this post and get some more people to help us bring it to life.

I've updated the packet finally. Sorry for the time it took, but you'll see the effort was well worth it.

Thanks for the Shout out Malcolm. I appreciate it. I hope with my hard work and with the people of Paizo.com advice and help we can make a better product for the players and GM's who post here.

So it looks like this was canceled on Kickstarter?
It wasn't canceled, it's just that the creator decided to lower his funding goal, and the only way to do that is to cancel the original Kickstarter and begin another.

Aye, sorry about that. Can't update links on Paizo after an hour. Thank you much to Al for pointing it out though. Maybe I'll build a different thread once we're more solid in our presentation.
In the meantime, here's what we've got after last night's update.
After listening to feedback on this project, we are going to make several major revisions on the information. While the concept remains the same, we intend to integrate more direct Pathfinder rules that everybody is familiar with and nix much of the unnecessary and repeat mechanics. I will also add a step-by-step process for Trainer creation to help smooth it out over all.
We're also taking a serious look at the art for pathfinder.
Thank you all.

I took out my funding from the project, Kevin, who is Malcolm Northwinter, and I didn't see eye to eye and he still wishes to blatantly rip off Pokemon even in the Pathfinder version so you will see a lot of Pokemon like monsters in the book now then what we were aiming to do.
If you were expecting a serious Pathfinder supplement I am warning you that it doesn't seem to be going that way.

Well, I realize now that my comment is a paux pas and I didn't word it correctly. I apologize and did not mean to sound so harsh.
