Pathfinder city of secrets online12/17/2023 The Pathfinder Origins series will tell the tales of the early days of the Pathfinder iconic heroes. REDMOND, WA (December 1, 2014) – Paizo, Inc., leading publisher of tabletop roleplaying and adventure card games, and Dynamite Entertainment, publisher of best-selling comic book titles, announce today Pathfinder Origins, the next comic series based on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Here is the official press release, for people who like their press releases to be official: I just don’t know which team up I am most excited about. But how? Would a Pathfinder comic staring only the Advanced Class Guide iconics be fulfilling enough, All New, All Different X-Men style, or would it be missing cornerstone elements like the Sunbow Transformers animated series post Transformers The Movie? In this format, six new iconics get more page space dedicated to them than any one iconic gets in a typical issue of the Pathfinder comic, plus a familiar iconic to buddy up or create a rivalry with. I have read all of Dynamite’s Pathfinder comics and enjoyed them quite a bit, but knowing that there were more than 20 other iconics who have yet to be fictionalized outside of the chapter headers in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rulebooks has left me yearning for a change in cast. They aren’t slatted to be Pathfinder Society legal quests yet, but listener Joe Smith’s question during the broadcast did plant the seeds of the idea in Erik’s mind.Īs I mentioned on the podcast, I am excited with this new direction for the comic. I’m curious how much the covers are indicative of what the story will be, in particular how one story can makes sense of Sean Izaakse’s variant with tiny Amiri (or regular Amiri and massive Valeros) plunging her giant sword into Valeros’ skull either before or after drinking together on Andrew Huerta’s variant.Įach issue will include a poster map and Pathfinder encounter, popular features that were in the first six issues of the original Pathfinder miniseries, absent from the next six issues, and returned with much fanfare in Pathfinder City of Secrets. I am surprised by how heavily the covers feature Amiri considering Valeros’ name is on the covers. Paizo released five covers of issue 1, although it wouldn’t surprise me if there were ultra rare sketch variations of some of these. Not only does that make more sense than two tales of different divine casters, it’s consistent with the other pairings, that all feature classes with more similarities than differences.Īs is typical of Dynamite and it’s Pathfinder comics, there will be a slew of alternate covers, one of which will pay homage to a classic comic cover or movie poster. I think it’s safe to predict a holy team-up of Kyra and Seelah and a nature team-up of Harsk and Lini. Merisiel the rogue and Sajan the monk (written by James Sutter).Seoni the sorcerer and Seltyel the magus (written by F.Erik also told us that other issues would include team ups of: We know issue 1 will feature a beefy melee team-up of fighter Valeros and barbarian Amiri, written by Erik Mona. Each issue will feature one of the six iconics who have starred in the Pathfinder comics teaming up with one of the six Core Rulebook iconics who have not or barely appeared in the comic form so far (including Seltyel, iconic eldritch knight turned iconic magus). Sutter, all three of whom wrote a story for an issue of Dynamite’s Pathfinder Goblins 2013 miniseries.This series will travel to areas of Golarion outside of Varisia, which has been the setting for all Pathfinder comics released so far. Wesley Schneider, and Managing Editor James L. The writing duties for Pathfinder Origins will be handled by Paizo Publisher/Chief Creative Officer Erik Mona, Editor-in-Chief F. Called Pathfinder Origins, each issue of this mini series will be written by a member of the Paizo staff.įind out more, and read the official press release after the jump… As announced by Erik Mona in Know Direction 96, the next Pathfinder comics series, releasing February 2015, will be a prequel to the main storyline.
