I've still got as many sides as a bagful of dice, but I DO own most of the Pathfinder products. As a writer, it is enormously helpful to have downloads of ALL the existing game products, not to mention the ability to download upcoming products--sometimes well before release.

And speaking of release, Pathfinder #19 will be out in late February or early march. This starts "Legacy of Fire," a new six-month campaign set in Katapesh, Osirion, and environs. This area is a fantasy version of Egypt with a sprinkling of middle eastern myths and monsters. Expect genies and mummies, anubis-influenced gnolls, and much more creepy goodness.

I'll be writing the Pathfinder Journal feature for this campaign: "Dark Tapestry," a six-part serial novella featuring a new character--the half-elf druid Channa Ti. Channa is not what one might expect from either an elf or a druid. She identifies with nature's predators. There is no tree-hugging. Whatsoever.

Hope you enjoy the story. I'd be interested in hearing your comments, if you're inclined to share.

Best,
ec

I'm sure I'm going to love it. This is a dream come true: Elaine writing in Golarion.

To be honest, I've been dissatisfied about the direction the Realms have taken for quite a long time now (even before the whole Spellplague... dating back to some of the new plotlines shown in the 3E FRCS... Bane coming back and having next to no effect on the setting was my first "huh?", which followed with many a "WTF?" during the whole Return of the Archwizards trilogy, and it's been downhill since. Spellplague was the the straw that broke my Canadian camel's back... )

Golarion smells... fresh! and I only cook with fresh ingredients, sorry. The Realms under Greenwood were awesome and fragrant, but it became hard tack over the last few years.

I'm an ongoing subscriber to Pathfinder adventure paths, so I await your Dark Tapestry with great anticipation.

Milady, [dips feathered hat down low], may your day be as great as mine, for it has been graced by your presence!

Today's Paizo blog shows the cover for the upcoming The Great Beyond, the Pathfinder Chronicle detailing the planes. We see Seltyiel on in trip in the Maestrom, meeting one of its native inhabitants, a protean.

What a nice and cozy place.

Here are snapshots of our Second Darkness campaign starting on Tuesday night. It shows two character backgrounds in comic format.

The first comic is illustrated and written by a friend of mine (Paizo board name Xuttah), and shows a snapshot of his character, a kobold bard.

[deleted link]

The second shows the backstory of my character, Chaine, a fighter born in Korvosa. Illustrated by Xutta, and written by yours truly.

[deleted link].

Enjoy!

Golario is inspiring, and fantastic!

Oh yea, I finally went back to my comic guy and picked up another dozen Pathfinder material/modules and I've been slowly making my way through them.

So far I've skimmed through #15, 16, 17 of Second Darkness, plus Osirion. I wished Osirion was little longer because it only comes in at 30ish pages. I plan to skim through #18, which has demon lords in it! and Absalom sooner or later.

Edit: Absalom reminds me a lot of Waterdeep. I really loved that side bars that show cost of living for rent/month and also the prices if you want to purchase. We've had so many threads on Keep over the years about people seeking that info. Now, even though it's not FR, there is a source besides Steven's write ups that could be referenced.

I had to cut several sections from the text actually to make it in under my word count. But that's the difference between the PF Chronicles and PF Companion materials. The cosmology book will be much longer. :)

Ah. I forgot you helped write Osirion. :) But I understand how that could be a problem and I hope the planar book is longer. Just wished there was a little more depth to Osirion. Still, was a nice..... hmm..... summary book.

can someone with access to the pathfinder Gods and Magic book tell me how closely related these analogs are?:

does Bahamut (FR/DnD) = Apsu (Pathfinder)
does Tiamat (FR/DnD) = Dahak (Pathfinder)

or does Tiamat exist and Dahak both in Pathfinder?

same iconic look? or different looking?

draconic deities? human dieties? just real bad mofo nondieties?

found this excerpt by a non-paizo writer on the paizo boards with this explanation but didn't know of the accuracy because no paizo staff has commented on his post:

quote:
There's some information about dragon gods in Pathfinder #4, Fortress of the stone giants. Article in it mentions Tiamat few times. I'm not sure if I've gotten it right, but Apsu is the LG god of dragons and Dahak is the CE god of dragons. Tiamat created gods with her mate Apsu. Dahak is one of their sons. Dahak created metallic dragons and then hunted them. Apsu led metallic dragons against Dahak and defeated him, but Tiamat betrayed Apsu by bargaining a deal with metallic dragons so they would heal Dahak. From dragons who accepted, chromatic dragons were born. Apsu returned to Tiamat, but Tiamat felt that Apsu had betrayed her and she took many-faced dragonic form and attacked Apsu. Apsu then fled with metallic dragons to Golarion pursued by Dahak with chromatic ones.

So while Tiamat exists in Pathfinder, it seems that she's far away from Golarion. Maybe you could replace Tiamat with Dahak? I think there's some information about Apsu, Tiamat and Dahak in Gods & Magic too.

Apsu is pretty much Bahamut. However, Gods and Magic says that Tiamat is well Tiamat. Dahak is a different deity then Tiamat or Apsu. Dahak is one of the first deities created and he is the son of Apsu.

According to Gods and Magic, Tiamat and Apsu had a son, Dahak, who turned out to be pretty destructive (although both Apsu and Dahak are listed as aiding the other gods in imprisoning Rovagug at the beginning of time). Apsu fought Dahak, and had him defeated, but Tiamat turned on Apsu and aided her son. Apsu followed Dahak to Golarion, but Tiamat is noted as not being active on Golarion.

Apsu is pretty clearly analogous to Bahamut. He's not described as platinum, but his symbol looks pretty much like a dead ringer for Bahamut. Its mentioned that while he's the patron of metallic dragons, most dragons don't worry about serving as divine casters, but that Apsu does have mortal worshipers that serve as divine casters for his church.

He's also mentioned as living in the Immortal Ambulatory, which is described as a demiplane that travels from plane to plane and has a portal that leads to Golarion.

It all maps pretty close to the classic interpretation of Bahamut in D&D. I'd say if you are predisposed to such things, PrCs associated with Bahamut can very easily be changed to being Apsu focused with almost no change to the storyline. In fact, 3.5 dragonborn actually still work pretty well with Apsu, though they would be focused on opposing Dahak instead of Tiamat.

Dahak is described as an ugly, spiky creature, with the title of The Endless Desctruction. He's chaotic evil, and chromatic dragons don't love him, per se, but they revere him if they think it will garner power for him. While some Tiamat focused things from 3.5 work (Ravager of Dahak makes sense, for example, changed from Ravager of Tiamat from the Draconomicon, but the Spawn of Tiamat don't quite make sense . . . er . . . as children of Dahak . . . ).

Tiamat exists, but she isn't mentioned as having followed Dahak and Apsu into Golarion (implying that she exists, and she might be prominent in other worlds, but not on Golarion).

They did something similar with Orcus, in mentioning that he exists and lives in the Abyss, but is more powerful in other worlds than he is in Golarion.

If I remember right, Mister Jacobs did that because he felt that Orcus was even more over-exposed than Shar. And I agree. There are more demon lords out there than ol' fatso, after all.

I wish they'd given you more space myself, but I like the book. Especially the crazed cult of Lamashtu, staffed by gnolls and lead by a werehyena priestess. And that picture with it... urrgh. Are the gnolls and humans having an orgy or are they killing each other?

Eagerly looking forward to the cosmology tome! Will we get info on the fiends?

Oh yes. Yes you will. I'm eager to see the reception folks have for various outsider races that fill the thematic and metaphysical niche of some of the more notable and very non-OGL outsiders like slaadi, yugoloths, modrons, etc. Heck, if anything there's likely to be a bunch of material sliced out because I kinda went overboard in a few places. And if so, chances seem likely it'll be incorporated into something in the future, like how after nearing my word limit for that plane, a lot of ideas I had for the proteans and the Maelstrom ended up being being written into an Ecology of the Protean piece for one of the later Legacy of Fire AP releases.

Apologies if you already know this, but if you can get your hands on Pathfinder #5, it has a Core Deities style write-up on Lamashtu's cult by Sean K Reynolds.

Edit: Oh, and my theory is that they're having an orgy in preparation of killing each other

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Assuming you were talking to me -- thanks, but that was my first Paizo/Pathfinder purchase, and it played a big role in getting me interested in looking at the rest of the line.

It also lead to me buying various OOP Green Ronin books like Book of Fiends and whatnot so now I'm spending money on them too. I just wish I'd known of these guys back when their stuff was still in print -- absolutely no one where I live had any of their stuff! And it wasn't like WoTC acknowledged that other gaming companies even existed...

Well the various outsiders who aren't OGL like the slaadi, gith, yugoloths, modrons, etc won't be there. Some will show up in some form like the guardinals, except the name guardinal for the race as a whole can't be used.

Put it this way though, I'd feel comfortable running a Planescape game using Golarion's planes with no problem in the slightest, and I've tried to make the themes mesh well. But at the same time it's possible to run something rather differently if you never liked Planescape. It should feel thematically similar to anyone familiar with planar stuff that I've worked on before, but it's broad enough to support different playstyles.

Hi,

I'm the loon responsible for the comics. I do love IZ, the dark imagination of JV and his anti-heroic characters, but the chances of seeing a Dib or Gaz character are slim.

I actually played SWSE and did GIR as a droid. That was pretty fun, but he ended up more like a fully functioning SIR near the end. Now, attracting a green worg for the PF character might be fun, but I dunno how he'll be able to make waffles...

Glad you enjoy them. There cleric's comic is up now. I'll let PDK handle the details as my web-foo is pants.

You may also want to check out Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee if you like JV's work.

I can't wait til the character gets injured for the first time..."ARGH! My Spine! Why does it hurt!?"

Even better: they shortened the delivery time to Germany to just about a week (instead of three). I have already received #19 and Dragons today, and since I am on vacation next week, I already know what I will carrying with me for reading ...

Here in America they had problems with customs in Feb, so we get #19 and #20 together. I am really looking forward to Dragons Revisited. Yeah I got the PDF, but like being able to read Golarionlore in the Bathroom if I want to.

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Glad you liked the fiction, Brimstone!

I just wanted to point out, though, that the fiction in Pathfinder #19 and #20 are not short stories, per se, but episodes in "Dark Tapestry," a six-part novella. Each episode is fairly self-contained, but there's an overall story.

How about 'Go-Lore'? GolarionLore seems to be a mouthful...

And, I agree Elaine: Terrific writing! I'm anxiously awaiting my next periodical.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Because of the Late Unpleasantness many companies are making special sales on PDF to show their ongoing support for this medium. On of them is Paizo. We can buy any PDF of the Adventure Paths, the Chronicles, the Companions, the Modules and the Pathfinder Society for 35% off the regular retail price through the end of April.

The announcement

Great time to check out Elaine's new story firsthand!
