Sean K Reynolds is leaving Paizo

Sean's Website

While I may not like him very much and I clash with him on rules, it's going to be a sad day when he leaves. He's a talented designer with many years of experience and I hope him all the best luck in his future endeavors.

Have fun in Indiana!

P.S. stay away from NASCAR!

[MagusJanus]

Good luck, Sean K. Reynolds. May fortune smile upon you and Lady Luck guide you to success.

That about sums it up really.

Good luck in Indiana, whatever you decide to do. It'll be weird not having you around.

[Lazaro]

Good luck to you and Jodi!

[Tirisfal]

Oh my lanta, this is quite a surprise :(

I'll miss you, Sean, but good luck with everything!

[The NPC]

Wait, who's Jodi?

Anyway. Good luck to you and to quote "May you always find your way in the Dark."

[Steve Geddes]

Good luck, Sean.

I always appreciate your ability to sum up the reasons behind rules in just a couple of sentences. I'm grateful for all the work you've put into Pathfinder over the years (especially the love and attention you put into the beginner box!) and for all the thinking behind the deity writeups in the APs. I've played in many worlds over the years, but I've rarely found a pantheon that feels so real.

[Gancanagh]

that is a shame... :-(

good luck and good travels... and welcome to my neck of the woods. (well the midwest at least)

I figured, but I honestly thought he was gay. Hmmm... No matter. As I said good luck.

[Marc Radle]

Oh man ... All the best to Sean and Jodi of course, but Sean is awesome! Not having him at Paizo sucks!

[Kryzbyn]

:(

[Oceanshieldwolf]

Wow. Well this is interesting. Wonder who will or could fill his shoes? Wait, I better read the announcement first. [goes off to find link]

OK. That makes sense. I'd be moving to the country too if I wasn't moving from the country to the city soon. And I'm sure Sean will have finished his duties on the ACG by then, which is my main point of interest in him as a developer at Paizo.

Sean: Enjoy your time in the peace and quiet and may your creative expression continue. Coming from a family in which my brother and parents are all legal academics, I understand the need to prioritize those studies for your wife.

[Dale McCoy Jr]

May the force be with you both.

[Helaman]

I'd say we haven't heard the last from him by a long shot. He'll show up in some Paizo credits for some time to come I feel.

[GeraintElberion]

Blimey!

Sean is, arguably, one of the people who saved 3.5 gaming.

In a very short space of time he turned the 3.5 rules into the PF playtest, then he, again very quickly, turned that into Pathfinder.

If that process had dragged or been a failure then the whole, wondrous adventure of Paizo might never have become such a mighty gaming beast.

Dude will be missed.

[Matthew Morris]

All I can say is I hope to see' em both at Origins (as I still can't afford to go to GenCon)

[Charlie Bell]

Sean's one of the best designers in the industry (if not the best). I'm disappointed to see him leaving Paizo, but hopeful that he'll continue to be a prolific freelancer.

Sean, best wishes to you and Jodi in your future endeavors.

[Andrew R]

Well damn, he was the one that got me interested in pathfinder

[Redneckdevil]

Nooooooo!!!
Sigh
i wish the best for u and ur wife. Hope u enjoy that peace and quite. I hope we can see some more work from ya in the future. You will be missed.

[Dragon78]

Well that is sad to hear, but good luck to you and your wife.

[havoc xiii]

I saw the thread title and hoped it was a sick depraved joke... :(

Good luck in all your future endeavors.

[Philip Dhollander]

Good luck man, and I'm sure we'll still see you around some day :-)

[Tom Phillips]

Sean gave me my first opportunity to do freelance for Paizo as part of Team Gruntwork, so for that I'll be forever grateful.

It will be strange working with you as a freelancer instead of being brow-beat by you and that cursed Advice and Punishments style guide. ;-)

Best of luck to you and Jodi on the move and in this next exciting stage of your life's adventure. You're one of the coolest cats I've never met.

[Ernest Mueller]

Best of luck Sean!

[Sniggevert]

Best of luck Sean and Jodi!

[xavier c]

damn will Good luck

[Majuba]

My heart is crushed - very happy for Sean and Jodi to be seizing the reins of their life, but still very sad to hear this news. There's no one I trust more with a rule than SKR.

Bon voyage Sean - maybe you'll still make it down here for ReaperCon sometime!

No argument from me on your premise, but for the record Sean joined a bit after the playtest had started.

[Claxon]

Such unexpected news, I am saddened to hear of your leaving Sean.

Live long and Prosper.

[CalebTGordan]

Wow, good luck.

I spent some time in the southern tip of Indiana, beautiful countryside out there. I wouldn't mind moving back if it wasn't for the horrible, horrible winter I experienced.

I am sure we are going to continue to see more from him and not less. He will most certainly be able to focus on his writing and produce more of it once he is away from Paizo. I am sad though. Who will draw goblins on my arm?

[feytharn]

Im sad to see you leave, but I wish you all the best for your future endevours and I hope they leave you with enough spare time on your hands to do the odd project for Paizo!

[Alleran]

It'll be interesting to see where the PF ruleset goes from here without his presence at Paizo. Regardless, though, best of luck to him.

[Abyssian]

Best of luck, Sean. Enjoy Indiana and don't totally reject the potential to knock out a freelance piece or do a guest appearance.

[theheadkase]

We'll miss ye Sean, but good work and good life to you both. I know I can't wait for the day to move back out of the city.

[darth_borehd]

Paizo is losing a very talented and likable guy. Good luck in everything you do, Sean.

[Orthos]

Fare thee well, Sean. You'll not be forgotten.

[DM Jeff]

All the best Sean and Jodi!

Your time at Paizo has been amazing and at the end of the day think of all the travel hassle you'll save going to GenCon. ;-)

[Matt Thomason]

Best of luck in the future, Sean and Jodi!

[Garrick Williams]

I hope you still linger in the community, Sean. It's always a pleasure having you around, especially for RPG Superstar. Either way, you'll love Indiana. It's a great state to live in.

[Doug's Workshop]

Well, let me be the first to welcome him! It's a great state, even with all the snow we've received this winter.

[Major_Blackhart]

Too bad. Will miss you.

[Aleron]

Definitely a loss. Will be wishing you all the best!

[Adjule]

Sad to see this as the first thing popping up when logging into the forums. Hope you and your wife enjoy Indiana more than I do, although the country setting is great. Good luck in the future things you do.

[GM Lamplighter]

All the best, Sean! Enjoyed your company at last year's PaizoCon banquet, hopefully we'll still see you writing and making terrain!

[Shivok]

Wow! Big Loss to the company. I wish you and your wife well in future endeavors. We sometimes have to make sacrifices for our loved ones. In the end it makes home-life happier.

Farewell.
