#FirstWorldProblems

[Andre Roy]

Hmm, we'll that's the theme which I was hoping avoid as I have no ideas for it. But on the other hand, it means it's a challenge from me to me to cook up something...and we got plenty of time.

I would have agreed with you on this....until I started looking a all the fey creatures in the bestiary, and mentions of them in the Inner Sea World Guide. With a little research, I ended up completely changing my ideas for the side trek adventure in #15 to involve the fey for the River Kingdoms region.

This theme lends itself to many APs, modules, and many Golarion regions. I think it will be a good, solid theme.

[Neil Spicer]

I might have to break out something fey-oriented to support Fellnight Queen, just for old time's sake. :)

I agree it's a good solid theme as mention it touches upon everything...it's more on a personal level that it is less "inspiring" but I love a good challenge so this should be fun.

And I might try an Asian fey theme

[Isabelle Lee]

There's definitely something in Prisoners of the Blight. ^_^

[Snorter]

Time to hit the Big Book of Grimm's Tales.

The R-rated originals, not the sanitised, modern versions...

[Timitius]

Congrats to all of you who made the cut! And THANK YOU to everyone who submitted their work for consideration. Keep trying! #18 will be all about the First World and fey, so start thinking of what you'd like to write for that!

[Jacob W. Michaels]

Congrats to everyone who had an article published.

And thanks especially to Isabelle, whose work is the only reason my name is listed in the credits for this one.

[N. Jolly]

While I'm not thrilled to be on the B squad, for my first time doing some monster design, I'm pretty pleased with myself. Congrats to all those who made it, I'm sure this'll be a baller issue!

[Isabelle Lee]

Yay! Congratulations to those who made it in! ^_^

[Andre Roy]

Well I'm happy to see I made it into #17...and a bit surprised but good surprised and it does encourage new to go for issue #18 also (I got a wee idea that might work).

Congratulations to Everyone!

[He'sDeadJim]

Wow! Thanks Timitius!

The topic was really challenging this time, until I realized I had the perfect idea already *LIGHTBULB* in the back of my head.

I have been working on various aspects of my accepted article for a while...this is the first time they have really coalesced onto paper for me.

Congrats to everyone who made it in!
=)

[Todd Stewart]

Oh awesome!

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed writing my piece and I can't wait to read everyone else's!

Now to wonder about which artist gets assigned mine. :)

[Russ Brown, Rusted Iron Games]

Congrats to everyone who got in. I am excited to see which of my submissions was selected and what everyone else submitted.

[Milo v3]

I feel rather lucky that I got in, wasn't sure about whether or not the submission would be close enough to the theme since I haven't actually read the Adventure Path I associated it with.

Congrats to the rest of the selected people.

[Bardess]

Wheee! My long hunger is ended! Two numbers without publishing- but the negative series has been interrupted at last!

[Snowblossom]

Yay! My first Wayfinder! This is such wonderful news. I'm so excited. Congrats to all authors - I'm looking forward to reading everyone's articles.

[Thomas LeBlanc]

Congrats folks!

[Matt Duval]

Congratulations everyone :)

[Meraki]

Congrats to everyone in this one!

[Iammars]

Wooooooo! Thanks Tim and congrats to everyone else who got in!

[Kerney]

Whoo hoo, first time!

Congratulations Everyone.

[Lindley Court]

Being "B" team isn't that bad, especially given that it's my first time submitting. Hope that things go well enough to land me a seat for real!

[Garrett Guillotte]

Congratulations to everyone! Always love seeing new names on the list.

[etsmith]

:) I'm ecstatic to be in again.

[Eric "Boxhead" Hindley]

While not nearly as exciting as Tim's post, I'd like to remind people that we still have room for advertisers in this issue. Your ads will be seen by everyone who attends PaizoCon in glorious print! That's pretty amazing!

Have a look at the first post and contact us at [e-mail] to get in on this wonderful opportunity.

[Her_Royal_Majestrix]

Congratulations, everyone! Extra excited that both the hubby and I made the cut this time around. :-)

[Kalimint]

Wow, I'm honored to be in the magazine. Congratulations everyone!

[JPSTOD]

Made it on my First Submission....Hope everyone tries out the game I submitted...

A Way to use those Dice for a bit of "Character fun time" in a Tavern or even along the trail.

I really need to start submitting Locales with Maps

[Snorter]

In-character games for the PCs are always worth a read.

Even better if they come with forfeits, like the loser getting a hagfish shoved down their pants.

[Paris Crenshaw]

Congratulations, not only to those who made it in, but also to everyone who finished something and submitted. There are soooo many people who aspire to be published writers, but don't even get that far.

[Yasumoto]

Congratulations everyone!! Excited to start thinking about some Fey ideas...!

Damned you for being right! ;-)

I went from 0 idea to 2 partally written drafts...and plenty of time to polish them.

[AmbassadoroftheDominion]

First World, huh? I can work with that. and even if I can't think of any good fey, I can still make a new Tane

[Captain Phoenix]

Well done everyone!

Any chance of some feedback if we didn't make the cut? Or a hug?

[Timitius]

In the past, I have given feedback and gotten very angry and argumentative responses. This, of course, soured me to the whole thing...enough so that I generally decline from giving feedback on rejected articles.

However, if you send an email request, I will consider it.

Sorry. Best I can do.

Thanks Timitius, I appreciate it.

[AmbassadoroftheDominion]

To whom it may concern,
I was wondering if there's someone i can PM a creature idea I'm trying to design to get some feedback. I know the next publication is a year away, but I'd like to get a few opinions on how to perfect my monster before then. This will be my first time designing a creature and I don't want to mess it up. It's a bit of an oddity, collapsable ribcage and all.

Thank you in advance for your consideration

I would be happy to give feedback on fiction pieces, if anyone would like it. I've had a lot of experience writing, editing, and workshopping.

If you wanted to start a Pathfinder writing group, I think you'd find there is a demand for it.

[Andrew Mullen]

I would participate! I just heard the Know Direction podcast's episode about freelance work. They mentioned Wayfinder as a potential starting point, but it looks like I missed the submission deadline by a few weeks.

That sounds like a great idea. However, I am not particularly tech-savvy. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to communicate and share work? My first thought would be sharing via Google Docs.

But you're just in time to start writing for the next one!

I'm happy to take a look at it, but it won't be for at least a week, as I'm heading out on vacation shortly.

We've had such a thing in several different forms.....Pathfinder Chroniclers was possibly the first iteration. After that, we had at least one or two groups of contributors that pooled together to help each other out.

We at Wayfinder LOVE these writing groups, and are trying to figure out a better way to help them out. If you are coming to PaizoCon, we would very much like to have a bigger conversation about it. (Maybe we'll try another Wayfinder seminar, if people would show up for it?)

[Belabras]

I'm game for that.

[Bardess]

Tim, instructions say that Bestiary entries can be shorter than 750 words. Can they be longer than that too?
