Paizo and Jessica have indeed parted ways.
:(
This saddens me. I like her work.

On the other hand, if she and Liz and Wes are all collaborating on something, then the 3rd party world will soon get brighter.
If they're selling something, whatever it is, I'm buying it.

I've always liked the work Jessica's done on Pathfinder (especially that awesome Qadira book) and she gave me my first shot at working on some Player Companions. Whatever she's moving on to, I hope it's something great!

Yeah, the Qadira book was fantastic. I too will miss Jessica's fearless advocacy on the boards and behind the scenes. I am hopeful that she continues to work on TTRPG products. If you read this Jessica, thanks for everything.
Edit: And Jessica's Golarion fashion pins on Pinterest are also great.

Jessica's job didn't often intersect with customer service so we didn't interact too much. Any time I went down to the warehouse she always had a smile and a hello when I went by her office. Recently she invited me to join a panel at Paizocon, which was really cool. Without her encouragement it's something I likely wouldn't have done. I really appreciate both the invitation, the encouragement, and the all the confidence she expressed in me. In all the time I have spent with Jessica, both at work and outside of work, she has been such a kind, friendly, and encouraging person. I'm fortunate I can call her a friend, and I will miss seeing her around the office.
Best wishes in all your future endeavors, Jessica!

Myself and the entire Flying Pincushion staff of course wishes Jessica only the best no matter where she is or what she is doing (which will likely be awesome, as talented, yep, she is!).

Best of luck in all her future endeavors. May she live long and prosper. :)

In days of freer communication, I enjoyed seeing her posts. They were often informative and encouraging.

Well, I am behind a few months on this issue. This is really disappointing because I thought that Qadira, Jewel of the East was one of the finest products ever printed by Paizo. It was all her work, too. Her creativity shall be greatly missed.

I'm behind nearly a month more. Jessica Price was (and remains) a tireless agent of hard truths and hard knocks within the gaming industry, and though she dealt me my fair share, I maintain an enormous level of admiration for her. I remember sitting at her Banquet table a couple years back—she didn't recognize me, but she was incredibly funny and a delight to dine with. Paizo will have to struggle mightily to make up for her absence, I think. I hope to see and support her work elsewhere!

Jessica Price's writing was always smart, funny, assertive, and above all challenging--her posts and her work on Paizo products (the ones I'm directly aware of) always challenged me to think about the game in new ways and to be more aware of the impacts of stories that I tell on my audience.
I'm disappointed to learn she's left tabletop entirely (at least for the moment). I would dearly like to support more products that she created! :(

She (and Crystal) were the project leads for Paizo's just released Blood of the Coven. And unless I'm misremembering, she worked on an upcoming Aethera product for Encounter Table / Legendary Games.
Why thank you! Glad to hear that!
