Paizo's New Campaign Setting and '08 Line-Up

Not missing a step after the end of Dragon and Dungeon magazines, Paizo Publishing has announced a whole new world to go along with their hot-looking new Pathfinder and GameMastery lines of adventure paths, stand-alone adventures, and RPG aids.

In the world of the Pathfinder Chronicles, the triumphs of heroes and the workings of villains are recorded in a constantly evolving codex of tales spanning centuries. For much of written history, world events followed charted routes. Oracles and seers mapped out the future in the stars above, and their prophecies always gave a reliable view of the ages to come.

Until a god died a century ago. No one saw that coming, and now, the old prophecies are failing. Oracles go mad and seers desperately try to account for the loss of the future. While some cry out that the world is at an end, they've been doing so for 100 years now. And the world's still here. It's just unclear where things are going. The future of Golarion, the world of the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, is open and ready to receive the triumphs and failures of a new generation of heroes.

Head on over to the Paizo site for the press release and full details, or stop by the daily-updated Pathfinder website for cover mock-ups and more of what's coming down the line. You can even get a taste of the new setting in the Rise of the Runelords Players Guide, not in print yet but already available as a FREE PDF.
