Pathfinder Society Events at Gary Con IV

I run mostly AD&D & OSRIC, but will play just about anything at least once.

 

I don't think it has been mentioned, but Paizo published a number of Gary's novels a few years ago as part of their Planet Stories line.

Also worth noting, the Pathfinder Core Rulebook is dedicated to Gary and Dave. The new Beginner Box they've just come out with, which I've been having a great time playing through with my kids, is dedicated to J. Eric Holmes, Frank Mentzer, and Tom Moldvay. I think it is great that Paizo and Pathfinder will be part of Gary Con.

 

Man, thanks for reminding us about those books. I've been gaming since the early 80s and it wasn't until Paizo came out with those books that I realized that Gary had written some novels other than Gord the Rogue. Even though I'd known about the Gord books, I'd never read them but I decided to pick up the ones that Paizo put out. These Setne Imhotep were, imo, a very good read. I later read the Gord books but found the Setne ones to be of superior quality.

I also think the boxed set that Paizo has put out is a great idea. They seem to be doing some really great work and I think this slimmed down rules system for their boxed set would be very useful for a number of minimalist gamers such as myself. I've played PF and have enjoyed it but it is a bit rules intensive for me so any time I come across a slimmed own version of a system I find myself enjoying it even more.

Now, if we can get Wolfgang Bauer and Kobold Quarterly to make an appearance I think we'd have a great history of the industry all in one place. In all honesty, I think this honors the legacy of EGG in a bright and exciting way.

 

Me too. I have been wanting to pick up that card game since we played it in the Dragonsfoot chat room when you released it.
