PathfinderWiki receives ENnie nomination!
First and foremost, thanks to all Chroniclers for all your hard work. Golariopedia wouldn't be a shadow of the resource it is now without the contributions of dozens of active editors. Give yourselves a huge mug of Cayden's best brew and have a friend pat you on the back.
So now everyone's asking, "how can we make sure we win?"
Well, we can keep improving the site every day. Make edits, create articles, and participate in ongoing discussions in the forum and blogs. Spread the word about the site on your personal blogs, websites, messageboards, twitter, facebook, myspace, friendster, etc. Get more people using it, and we get more people editing it.
And lastly, VOTE! Public voting begins on July 16 and runs through July 25. The winners will be an…
I'm Working for Paizo (and I need YOUR help!)
I've been given the ok by the esteemed Erik Mona to discuss publicly my upcoming stint as temporary employee of Paizo Publishing. I was asked to extend my trip to Seattle, where I was already planning on going to attend PaizoCon, to spend a week in the office adding locations to the giant poster map of the Inner Sea region that will appear in the Inner Sea Poster Map Folio later this year. The plan is to go through every Pathfinder product and make sure that every named location (even ones without descriptions) are included in the map with a tag. And that's a ton of work!
So, fellow canon-fiends, here's where you come in! What are the most obscure named locations you have come across in your ongoing chronicling? Vyre immediately sprang to mi…
Free sample chapter of Prince of Wolves now available
Just like the title says, you can now get a sample chapter of Paizo's forthcoming debut Pathfinder Tales novel, Prince of Wolves by Dave Gross, on their daily blog! (here) I'm not reading it, for fear of spoiling some of the experience of delving into the pages of the first official Pathfinder novel in August, but I am incredibly excited by the simple title of the chapter, "Dance of the Sczarni." Varian Jeggare, Radovan, sczarni? All before chapter three? Sign me up!
And here I thought the announcement and release of the Pathfinder Tales web fiction was more Pathfinder fiction goodness than I could reasonably handle in one week! Perhaps I should say, "I'm so excited about the forthcoming Serpent's Skull adventure path. I simply couldn't handle…
Upcoming features
I wanted to draw the attention of new and experienced Chroniclers to some new features wikia has added to the site. I don't see us utilizing all of them, or even most of them, but some my have some potential for growing the community and making it easier to edit.
Ad-free wikis: I already mentioned this one in a forum post, but thought I'd bring it up here, too. Funding the removal of ads from the page is more than I can handle, and I wouldn't expect a general member of the site to do so either, so we should use the forum to brainstorm ways of paying for that. I'd love to see the project go ad-free if we can manage it.
Achievements: Brandingopportunity has been trying to come up with ways of getting people involved in editing for a while, and …
Advanced Player's Guide cover revealed!
After much anticipation, Paizo today revealed the final cover art for the Advanced Player's Guide by fan-favorite artist Wayne Reynolds. Just like the cover of this year's Free RPG Day product, Master of the Fallen Fortress, provided the first glimpse at the final look of the iconic oracle and cavalier, this image exhibits the first glimpse of two more iconics—the alchemist and witch. We'll be sure to announce the introduction of each of the iconics when their names and backstories are revealed, but until then, check out the ad in the back of The Darkest Vengeance, which displays all the final artwork for the "class of 2010".
