Sean K Reynolds is leaving Paizo

[Ross Byers]

Sean is a cool guy. He helped me learn to paint minis, and I learned a lot about game design sitting around at lunch painting with him, which in turn served me well in the freelance work he assigned to me. He watched my cat for me when I went on vacation. I would go down and chat with him for a few minutes when I wanted to get away from my desk for a moment.

Cool guy.

[Cthulhudrew]

I've never met Sean in person, nor have I ever had much online interaction with him, but there is a personal story he posted on his blog many years ago that really helped me in dealing with a personal issue that was going on in my own life at the time. It was a great comfort to hear how someone else had dealt with a similar issue. He probably doesn't remember it, but I'll just thank him again for that.

Oh, and for all the other stuff, too. As everyone else has mentioned, he's always been great with the rules stuff and explaining the rationales behind choices, as well as just being that connection to the RPG industry (whichever aspect he was working for at the time).

I hate that it sounds like we're all putting you out to pasture already, Sean, as I'm sure you'll still be involved in the RPG community even after this. But thanks.

[Bob_Loblaw]

I met Sean once at NorWest Con and he was incredibly open to fans of the game. It was right before Pathfinder hit the market. I wish him well in all that he does.

[Morain]

If SKR had anything to do with making Pathfinder what is is today, the man is a genius! And I think he did :-)

Live long and prosper Sean. Good Luck!

[Xaratherus]

Paizo's losing a great resource. I've only been around the forums for a short while but Sean's was "the presence of Paizo" here, at least on the rules forums. I've found numerous answers from him (and I even agreed with a lot of them!), and I've also been (rightfully) put in my place a few times by Sean in discussions. I think I'm better for it.

So the best of luck in all of your future endeavors, Mr. Reynolds; you'll be missed!

[Darius Silverbolt]

SKR did a great job at Paizo. I wish him and his wife the best of luck in the future.

Hats off sir!

That about sums it up really.

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

Yup, pretty much my take also.

I know he wrote that it's all amicable and such but I wonder if there isn't something coming on the horizon that he didn't want to stick around for, like a new edition of Pathfinder getting ready to start being designed and he didn't like or want to be part of the direction it is looking at taking.

You sound hopeful, FH. ;)

A re-boot is looking pretty good right about now....

I agree. Throw backwards compatibility out the window for PF 2e, and I might get interested in PF beyond our ~yearly game nights!

[markofbane]

Best of luck to Sean and Jodi! I hope he will stay a presence here (much like Ross does). I think Iam going to miss the candor and humor of his posts most of all.

Like others have said, I am really looking forward to what Sean can do with some quiet time to focus on writing. Like many Paizo staff members, I've seen posts from him time stamped all times of the day and night, and that kind of dedication to a job and company can take a heavy toll of side projects.

Now the most important question: Has Sean been pinned down to be a guest judge for RPG Superstar 2015?

[John Benbo]

Good luck, Sean. I'm glad I got to meet you at GenCon last year and I was surprised that you remembered who I was!

[Purple Dragon Knight]

Good luck with everything SKR. Your wife is hot. The rest are just details! :)

[Darklord Morius]

My very best wishes to Sean and Jodi, from Brazil!

[Wolf Munroe]

I'm bummed to hear Sean is leaving Paizo.

When it comes to Inner Sea world stuff or Lovecraftian horror, I look for James Jacobs to set it straight.
When it comes to Ustalav and classic horror concerns, I hope F. Wesley Schneider is going to give the definitive answer.
When it comes to deities, mini painting, or feat or mechanics questions I hope for explanations and elaborations by Sean K. Reynolds.

Sean has been a big help to me in the various metal mini basing/painting threads I've started, particularly a few years ago when I was just getting started with metal minis. Not that I'm much more experienced now, but I'm confident where I stand thanks to the help and advice of SKR.

Even though we've never met (I don't have means to attend conventions), I feel like you've been a big personal help to me in the hobby. So thank you for that.

I'm bummed you're leaving Paizo, but I'm glad the two of you are doing what you think it best for the two of you. I wish the best for you two.

[The Block Knight]

Wow, sad to see such a titan of the industry leave Paizo. I've been following his work since he was writing Greyhawk modules back in late 2nd edition (his additions to Against the Giants in the Silver Anniversary series was my first taste if I recall correctly). He's taken me on some fantastic journeys over the years, sometimes as a player, sometimes as a GM, and always as a reader of his work.

Aside from his phenomenal contributions to the industry, I've always enjoyed his candid and frank discussion and his willingness to help out and participate with the community. I've never made it to a gaming convention (someday) and so I've never had the opportunity to meet him in person but the amount of time he has dedicated over the years to interacting with the fans who share in the love of the game certainly speaks to his character.

As for the ridiculous amount of negative posts in this thread, while I can't say I'm surprised, I will say that it is absolutely disgraceful. Immature derision and a lack of class is not only shameful but it's slightly pathetic as well.

[Drock11]

Best wishes and have a good one Mr. Reynolds.

[The 8th Dwarf]

SKR if you are ever in Sydney give us Aussie Pazionians a bell and we will shout you a round or 14.

You are a credit to the hobby, I hope to see your name on many future projects

T8D

[Reckless]

Well, Sean, thanks for all you've done, and good luck in the future.

Jodi, same goes for you :)

[Icyshadow]

So, have they decided who's going to be replacing Sean?

[Calybos1]

Thanks for all your hard work on the hobby we love, Mr. Reynolds.

My guess is not yet, although I'm sure there are plenty of conversations with industry talent going on behind closed doors. I would imagine we will not hear about any new hire for at least a month or more ...

[WitchyTangles]

Best of luck Sean, you will be missed.

[Amora Game]

Soooo this means Sean is open to freelance work?

[DM Wellard]

Cheerio SKR..I've been a fan since Ghostwalk

Sean, when you get around to writing an adventure with the Sword of Killing Hitler in it, can you make Richard the BBEG? Bonus points if the PCs have to watch that scene take place.

Sean, I wish you the very best with your move and new opportunities. You have done so much for the gaming industry and have influenced so many people. I truly appreciate your work and dedication. It was a pleasure meeting you at the Cons and I will always treasure your work. Rock on my brother.

[Carlos Ovalle]

Best wishes, Sean and Jodi!

After a break from RPGs, when I started looking again I found and loved Malhavoc Press. I've followed all of its authors ever since. I used to be a semi-regular on Sean's forums (Caerin) and I fondly remember those discussions and trying to go through all of the relationships in Bonds of Magic. ^_^ Sean replied to everything, from everyone, which greatly impressed me. I came to Pathfinder when Sean joined Paizo, and my great appreciation of the game and company are a direct result.

Thanks for everything.

---

Interior. A house in Indiana.

[A phone rings. SAJAN answers.]

CALLER: "Sajan, we have an assignment for you and Amiri."

SAJAN: "Sorry, Madam Director, but we're retired."

CALLER: "Your country needs you, Sajan. The reanimated Brain of Hitler is the most dangerous terrorist the world has ever known, and only you can stop him."

---

Exterior. Day. A street lined with cars.

[Enter SAJAN, walking down the street.]

SAJAN (voice-over): "My name is Sajan. I protect commoners from Big Bad Evil Guys."

[A SUPERVISOR walks briskly down the hallway. A frantic SCIENTIST approaches him.]

SCIENTIST: "Sir, I've just done some calculations. You need to see this." [Holds out a clipboard.]

SUPERVISOR [waving the Scientist aside]: "I don't have time for your so-called calculations. I have a meeting at the White House in twenty minutes, and I need to reassure the President that the worst of this freakish weather we've been having is finally over."

SCIENTIST: "You have to listen to me. It's not over at all. There's a 98% chance the weather patterns we've been seeing are the result of a rift the space-time continuum. Also, there's a meteor about to hit the Earth, the signal we've been tracking is coming from an alien spacecraft hiding on the dark side of the Moon, and a tornado en route to downtown Los Angeles just sucked up a bunch of great white sharks... But our first priority needs to be the rift in the space-time continuum."

SUPERVISOR: "I've had it with your crackpot theories. You're fired!"

[SAJAN and AGENT SMITH exchange blows atop a sixteen-wheeler barreling down the freeway. AMIRI stands nearby, ready to decapitate the agent, but is forced to dodge gunfire from somewhere behind the truck. A car carrying GUN-TOTING AGENTS is approaching the truck from behind.]

SAJAN [delivering a stunning blow to AGENT SMITH]: "I've got this, Amiri. You take care of that car behind us."

[Amiri nods and leaps from the back of the sixteen-wheeler. She lands on her feet on the pavement beside the car full of Gun-Toting Agents. Swinging her sword, she chops the car's engine block in half. The car explodes into pieces which are carried forward by the car's momentum. Traffic behind Amiri swerves to avoid hitting her. Tires squeal. A tanker truck jackknifes in slow motion, tumbling through the air above Amiri, missing the top of her head by mere inches.]

---

Interior. Los Angeles police department.

[A POLICE CAPTAIN sits at a desk. AMIRI and SAJAN stand before him.]

CAPTAIN: "Dammit, detectives. Do you have any idea how much that stunt you pulled on the freeway is going to cost the taxpayers of this city?" [Leafs through some papers.] "Two sixteen-wheelers destroyed. Fifteen other vehicles totaled. Damage to three overpasses and four buildings."

SAJAN: "We're doing what we have to do, Captain. This is the only way we'll save the city from space-time distortions."

CAPTAIN: “You two are the real menace to society. You're both off the case.”

SAJAN: "Then I'm done with this department." [Sajan removes a badge he is wearing and throws it as if it were a shuriken. The badge lodges in the wall behind the Captain's desk.]

CAPTAIN: "What are you doing, Sajan?"

SAJAN: "I'm taking matters into my own hands, where we all know they belong. I'm going to find out who's behind all these rifts in space-time, and I'm taking them out, with or without your help."

[Enter TORAG in a timely fashion. Torag smashes the giant with his warhammer, knocking the giant into the sky and over the horizon.]

CAPTAIN AMERICA: "Torag? God of the dwarves of Golarion?"

TORAG: "You were expecting some other god with a hammer?"

[Sajan lets out a mighty shout and leaps across the room, swinging the Sword of Killing Hitler in an impressive arc as he jumps past the jar holding the Brain of Hitler.

Then, slowly, the top half of the Brain slides off the bottom half, betraying a perfect, razor-sharp cut that has sliced it cleanly in half.]

Sean has definitely been one of my favorite designers over the years. All my success in RPG Superstar is arguably from reading his blogs and posts. My favorite memory of Sean was the time I visited the old paizo offices back in 2009. He gave me and my gf the grand tour of the place, introduced me to the staff who recognized me from my now infamous Vrock puns (proof the staff pays attention to the community). He also gave me a stack of fiction that they didn't want to move to the new offices! Still have a few of those to read.

Good luck Sean and Jodi! You Vrock my socks off.
