The Rumors Are True

[TriOmegaZero]

Well played, Moreland. Well played.

[Arazyr]

Congrats!

[Doug Doug]

I'm very happy Mark has joined the Paizo team, he's earned a place with the best company in the industry.

[CapnVan]

Ahem. I believe the preferred form is:

Spoiler:

"I prepared Explosives Runes this morning."

[Adam Daigle]

Congrats, Mark!

I didn't realize it was a secret until I saw all the speculation, so I've just stayed quiet this whole time.

[Scribbling Rambler]

Congrats, Mark!

And I am glad to see the PFS getting the extra assistance.

[Edward Pereira]

Congrats, Mark - all the best in your new job/home.

I'd say that's a pretty damned good consolation prize for not winning an Ennie. Can I trade mine in for a job sweeping the offices or something? :)

No art in today's blog?

Huge letdown :(

HUGE. I guess in my now depressed state, I'll go back and read to see what the blog actually says. Except for that spoiler, which is so obvious.

[Elorebaen]

Big-time congrats! You deserve it.

[Mairkurion {tm}]

AH...so this is it? The big announcement blog?

Seriously, congratulations, Mark. I'm very happy for your personal victory, but from my view, this is a win for the entire community. We expect great things from you!

Spoiler:

And by great things, I mean LARGE and BEAUTIFUL art postings on a regular basis.

Congrats!!!!

+1 to this. It's always a good thing when a "community member" becomes part of the industry supporting the community. That way, the community and industry have more of a connection.

Of course, Paizo has always been run by gamers, which is why it's so great! </fanboi moment>

Congrats again, Mark! (From another Mark. 8^)

Edit: Formatting. (The one time I forget to hit "Preview" before posting... 8^)

[Hugo Solis]

Congratz Mark, got it well deserved!

[Matthew Morris]

congrats

[Jason Kossowan]

grats, Mark - it'll be nice to have a level(er) playing field @ the banquet. ;)

Spoiler:

Explosive Hamsters!

[hida_jiremi]

Congratulations, Mark! You really deserve it, and I am *so* jealous. ^_^

Awesome! Congrats Mark :)

[fray]

Rad!
Congratulations Mark!

[Callous Jack]

Congrats!

(Does this mean we have to be nice to you?)

[Plotty Fingers]

Congratulations Mark.
FYI, love the Pathfinder Wiki. Use it often.

I'll miss Yoda8myhead!

Thanks, all!

Congrats yoda. We hope you enjoy the job (while the rest of us are in boring boring jobs until we get home and can then write).

[joela]

W00t!

[Mark Moreland]

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations.

Also, what's everyone think of my new, unique messageboard avatar?

[Shadewest]

Mona is a demigod.
Jacobs is a Freakin dinosaur.
You're a mite.
Even kobolds are brave enough to pick on mites.

Here's your 2¢

But Grats, man, seriously.

Looks squinty...Are you blinded by the awesome at Paizo? ;)

Your avatar is an abject, unbalanced failure of game design, clearly showing your complete failure at basic math and refusal to read my 89-page PDF "Tome of Awesome".

It's not easy being green.

It looks like Yoda wants to eat someone's head.

*adds more congrats*

May as well state the obvious... you look like Yoda :) Congratulations!

Edit: Ack! Pygon ninja'd me by 39 seconds!

It's seen better days. Then again, it doesn't seem as if it's seeing much of anything. :D

Congrats Mark! Best wishes!

[Justin Franklin]

Looks like you it does. :)

Wait... that was the blog the original poster was hyping? Totally not worth it!

Well I liked it!

Me too! The original poster was a very clever individual for spotlighting it in this way. The guy up above who said it wasn't worth should totally be ignored.

It's still here, it just won't show up quite as much in the future.

[yoda9myhead]

Somehow I think it will.

[Rene Ayala]

I'm always falling for the explosive runes. why!?

Congratulations, Mark. Looking forward to seeing your input on Pathfinder Society. Josh has built an awesome campaign and knowing your scenarios we can expect great things.

[Robert Brambley]

Hey congrats Yoda/Mark.

From what I've read of your posts, you deserve the chance.

See ya at PaizoCon I guess.

Hmm, is that the Mite from page 207 of the bestiary, tinted green?

Yes.

[Charles Evans 25]

Oooh. Neat job. Did Crystal or someone in the art department tint it for you?
It's nice the way the eyes are slightly different for a really bleary look that suggests you've been looking at too many eldritch horrors and just want to go to bed now....

Fits you perfectly :D

And now you look more like your moniker on the 2008 halloween poster ;P

Gratuconlations!

I said it before, Mark, but congrats. You deserve it :)
