In this Flip Through Matt takes a stroll through some of the most Terrifying haunts in Golaria.  Undead unleashed is a series of what I’ll call one shot adventures that focus on haunts found throughout the Inner Sea.

 

 

I’m very pleased with the creativity found in this book.  Not only can it be a great tool for the GM who is in need of a quick adventure it’s a great source of inspiration.

Prepare for war! The Hold of Belkzen, an orc-dominated wasteland, is as inhospitable as its bloodthirsty inhabitants.

This 64-page gazetteer of the Hold of Belkzen presents information on the region’s many dangerous geographical features and orc-run settlements, more than a dozen detailed orc tribes and adventure hooks to incorporate them into a campaign, and new monsters including the dread Juggerloathe, the haunting Burning Child, and orc-bred warbeasts. No Game Master running a campaign in or near the Hold of Belkzen should be without this must-have guide to one of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting’s most savage lands.

$22.99

 

Silver Mount has long beckoned explorers and adventurers from across the Inner Sea with its promises of exotic, otherworldly treasures. Yet more than treasure waits within the alien chambers within this towering ruin – here, the greatest of the Iron Gods dwells, inexorably drawing its plans against the world of flesh and preparing for its final triumphant emergence from the eons of time. With allies recruited from across the land of Numeria and the brutish rulership of its capital city (for the time being) cowed, the time is right for the most extensive expedition into Silver Mount’s mysterious interior. What strange perils from beyond the stars await the heroes within the metal walls of one of Golarion’s most legendary dungeons, and could they just be walking into an Iron God’s trap?

 

“The Divinity Drive” is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 15th-level characters. The adventure concludes the Iron Gods Adventure Path, an exploration of the lands of Numeria, where savage barbarism clashes with the wonders and horrors of superscience.

The Role of Character

What does it mean to have character? If you are like most players you will start defining your path by picking your race and rolling some stats. Then you pick a class and maybe an alignment, and then you gear up for adventure. For many that’s all there is to creating a character, but for what I believe to be a much more exciting experience, personality needs to be bred into the character. I don’t mean a superficial background that is created by a few random rolls; I mean one that gives a certain amount of depth to one’s personality thus influencing thought patterns. Creating a character like that is a challenge that introduces ethical challenges that go beyond an alignment or dispositions established by a particular game system.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEARCH FOR RPG SUPERSTAR 2015 

Paizo Launches Annual Contest to Find the Next Generation of Game Designers

REDMOND, WA (December 9, 2014): Paizo Inc., creator of the popular Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, announces today’s kick-off of RPG Superstar 2015, the annual, worldwide open call for would-be game designers to have their talents discovered, and the chance at being published in an official Pathfinder RPG module.

Now in its 8th year, RPG Superstar receives thousands of entries from all over the world, which are reviewed by a panel of experienced game designers, and then voted on by the paizo.com community, who have cast millions of votes over the years.

The winner of the competition will have their adventure published by Paizo as a Pathfinder Module, a full-color, 64-page, high-quality softcover book, compatible with not only the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (RPG), but also with any game published under the Open Gaming License (OGL). Also, three runners-up will win assignments to write adventure scenarios for Paizo’s Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, offering all four finalists professional writing contracts with Paizo Inc., and an opportunity to begin their game design careers by working on the world’s best-selling roleplaying game.

RPG Superstar will see a new Master of Ceremonies this year, game designer Owen K. C. Stephens, who promises more surprises, and more difficult challenges. Says Stephens, “Ramping up the degree of difficulty in several rounds is a result of how consistently amazing the entries have been year after year. We’re convinced the talent pool exists to make several of the stages tougher than previous years, and that the best contestants are going to thrive under the pressure.”

The first big change is to Round One, which has traditionally called for the design of a special type of magic treasure known as a wondrous item. For the 2015 contest, contestants are asked to create an original magic Item from one of the following categories: suit of armor, shield, weapon, staff, ring, or rod.

Round One is now open for magic item designs, which must be submitted by December 16, 2014 to be considered for moving on to the next round. There will be four rounds in all, and winners will be announced on March 24, 2015. For more information, or to submit an entry, visit paizo.com/rpgsuperstar.

The Pathfinder RPG is currently translated into multiple languages, and the vibrant Pathfinder universe has been licensed for comic book series, graphic novels, miniatures, plush toys, and apparel, and is being developed into a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game.
