Top News Stories

Archives of Nethys and Paizo Partnership In Flux: On the 14th AoN, free reference repository of all things Pathfinder, announced that Paizo had let them know that the partnership between the two was being terminated. Paizo responded soon after, and AoN posted some FAQs to provide more clarity.

Because this is the internet (and because AoN has been such a useful resource for helping people actually play Pathfinder, trust me I know) there has been quite the uproar. To sum up, AoN isn’t going away and can still be used to reference rules: the actual consequences are the removal of the old PF1 PRD, the removal of art, and a delay in getting new rules added (AoN were previously able to get rules ahead of time so they could be live on a book’s launch day). Paizo’s reasoning is trying to save money on managing the license and protecting art IP. Purported negotiations haven’t really happened yet, but both sides are still planning to talk to see if a middle ground can be found.

However things turn out, it seems we can lay yet another consequence at the feet of that never-to-be-sufficiently-damned Diamond disaster.

From the Archives

For today we’re going back in time to this day in 2018 where we were talking about…going back in time. Time travel can be a wild storyline to run, and looking at how it’s done in a couple of games can provide useful context and start points for what will always involve a lot of improv and a lot of thinking on your feet. From the archives this week is Time Travel: Paradoxes as Improv Practice. By the way, even 8 years later I haven’t been able to find a copy of Continuum: Roleplaying in the Yet. If anyone has any ideas of where to get a reasonably priced used copy, let us know!

Discussion of the Week

This subreddit has a bad rep in the indie creator scene 😦: This is a meta-discussion about r/RPG. To the title card I say: No shit. Useful context on Bluesky from Jeff Stormer, Grant Howitt, Thomas Deeny, and Quinns. Also check out the post from Table Cat Games which provides most of the quotes above.
