I would like to grovel, beg, plead, maybe even BRIBE someone for them to come back! Come on, lost omens and the APs have so much lore and so many characters we could follow!


Unfortunately, cash is king and even in the market heyday of PF1 those lines weren't profitable enough to maintain.

In theory, all you have to do it get an author to commit to writing a novel via Pathfinder Infinite channel, but I don't know that the terms/conditions would be a big draw to most established authors. But it might if someone always wanted to tell a particular story that contained Paizo IP.

So the bribe path could work, but most of us couldn't afford to do it and the rest of us aren't willing to spend enough money to make it work. Got it.

Two of their previous tales authors have put short stories on infinite. The popularity of those offerings I doubt is sufficient to encourage them to try longer novels.

damn they made a lot of novels for it to not be profitable. Honestly I'd be happy with more comics from dynamite or someone else in smaller runs. I just really want to see what fumbus gets up to next


I'd commit unspeakable sins to get hold of the planned next Pirate's X novel from Chris A Jackson

Yes. They did. And I feel bad about it. 38 of them. 26 of which are still taking up warehouse space.

I'm a reader, and I enjoyed the bunch of these I bought. But I know that Paizo even tried to farm out publishing the line and that didn't work out. There's efficiency in mass-printing things and Paizo's volume never made it worth doing. I'm sure they could have shifted to print-on-demand but even if that wouldn't've been a money-losing proposition, when you have X person-hours of labour available, you start looking at which uses of those hours produce the most profit, and shedding the rest.

Many of us want more. Same goes for a number of product lines. But like PF1 content*, this line is probably gone for good.

*Yes, yes, you know what I mean.

It turns out it's possible to simply not buy things you don't want, instead of crapping on people who do want them.

due to bad typing on my part, I highlighted the wrong part of the post. I am upset that I cannot get more PF1e stuff, not crapping on people who do want more PF1e.

Thank you for the official reply. This was mostly in jest but I'm glad it got some attention. Though if maybe we could pester him for another collab with dynamite for a continuation on fumbus that would be amazing!

An aside, and maybe I just missed it, but is there a way to filter just for fiction? Unfortunately, the way things are named, it's sometimes difficult to discern which are adventures, which are updates to the rules, and which are books / short stories / comics.

They don't sort by fiction, but searching for "fiction" get you many titles.

RPG Media is about as close as you get with their categories and then read descriptions.
