The Darkness Comes!

e try not to date
Pathfinder
too much, since
reports from the trenches and whatnot prove
pretty worthless when you look back at them a
year later. So only a few words got said in these pages about
Gen Con 2008. But let me say something about it now. Gen
Con was freaking awesome.
Along with the start of the Second Darkness Adventure
Path, August and Gen Con marked the first birthday of
Pathfinder.
We got probably the best birthday present we could
with three ENnie awards, including a gold for Best Adventure
for
Pathfinder
#1. The recognition was both a shock and
beyond cool, so a big “thank you” to everyone who voted. We
really appreciate it, and the knowledge that folks like what
they’re seeing makes all this totally worthwhile!
But while awards are neat, they weren’t what made the
convention so cool.
Day one of the convention saw the launch of our
Pathfinder Society organized play program (paizo.
com/pathfindersociety)
—a huge room that swiftly
became packed (and stayed packed) with
Pathfinder
fans throughout the whole weekend. Nick Logue, Lou
Agresta, and a team of incredibly brave GMs wrangled
the Ascension of the Drow mega-event, which helped
shape the design of last month’s adventure,
Endless
Night.
We didn’t call out what came from where (largely
due to a lack of space), but close readers might see their
characters, nefarious deeds, and other contributions
reflected in the dark elven homeland.
Going hand-in-hand with that—and this is going to
sound schmaltzy—it was really you guys that made the
trip to Indianapolis so fantastic. This year folks actually
knew what
Pathfinder
was and sought us out to talk about it.
Our seminars were packed, supposedly more due to folks’
interest in our world and adventures than for my, James’s,
and Sutter’s ever-effervescent personalities (turns out
we’re pretty hilarious though). We got wined-and-dined
(well, beered-and-desserted) by the Werecabbages, a group
of some of our most dementedly enthusiastic contributors,
whom we invited to participate in a semi-open call for
Set Piece adventures. Expect an all-Werecabbages series
of Set Pieces debuting with
Pathfinder
#19 and running
throughout the upcoming Legacy of Fire Adventure Path,
with more news on writing for
Pathfinder
soon after. We
also saw a ton of
Pathfinder
fan art, heard about several
