- Unfamiliar Familiars Alex Riggs of Necromancers of the Northwest brings you strange new alien companions and familiars, including Chitosites, strange stingray-like hovering creatures which can meld symbiotically with humanoids, Mimic Oozes, which can take on the shape and coloration of other creatures but otherwise resembles a thick puddle of viscous, bright-green slime, Psyvores, which are a strange octopi-like race of translucent, intangible creatures slightly out of phase with reality and that are in fact comprised of pure psychic energy, Skitelbrax, or better known in adventuring circles as gut spiders. Skitlebrax are strange, one-eyed parasitic creatures that come from beyond the stars. Lastly, Alex introduces Starsnakes, unusual flying snake-like creatures adapted to survive in the vacuum of space.
- Cyborgs! Bring these robotic monsters to your game by Jason Nelson. This article includes...
---Morgech Executor (CR 9) A hulking warrior covered in scars, scabs, stapled seams, and a deadly array of plates, blades, hooks, spikes, and burrs of steel erupting from its flesh wielding a massive spiked flail.
---Morgech Griever (CR 17) A lithe warrior seems more machine than human, with four spidery arms flanged with razor-like burrs. Its four-fingered hands hold deadly-thin blades and two bent-jointed legs end in clamp-like metal claws. The eyes glaring out of its mask-like face are all too human in their scarred sockets, while tubes and wires knit its metallic chest pod to the flesh and mechanized vitals within.
---Morgech Ravager (CR 4) A sickly-appearing yet strong overgrown hound with bulging muscles and strange barbed metallic devices protruding from its flesh.
---Cyberphrenic tadpole (CR 1/3) A tiny segmented terror, a mechanical mix of insect and crustacean trailing strands like a jellyfish. Its narrow body covered by thin protective plates while its underside is a mass of pinprick diodes and backlit wiring.
---Cranial Dissectibot (CR 5) A mechanical horror bristling with wires, compartments, and blinking lights up and down its thick stalk-like metallic body, balanced atop six spidery legs and multiple armatures, some with cables and clamps and others tipped with gleaming trocars and pneumatic needlers.

Question Time!
The magazine will likely be adding a "Reviews" section. We'd *like* to basically copy and paste some of the public reviews purchasers have posted on the d20pfsrd.com store product pages.
If YOU were a reviewer would you object to us including your review in the magazine? Just trying to determine if people would generally be bothered, or amused, by seeing their names and reviews appear in the magazine if they weren't previously alerted to the potential inclusion.
