A Sword for Hire: Miniature Silhouettes
http://aswordforhire.blogspot.com/2015/04/miniature-silhouettes.html
A blog about Pathfinder and freelance RPG design. Monday, April 6, 2015. A Sword for Hire. If I can find the time, I'd like to make a ridiculously large composite image with 100's and 100's of figures—something you could scroll for a long time up and down (below ground), left and right, discovering areas as you go. I always loved the cut-away aspect of the cover art on the original AD&D Monster Manual, so that's part of my inspiration for such a project. Wyvern, watch officer. Ogre brute, watch officer.

A Sword for Hire: What the Chase Cards Deck and Social Combat Deck taught me about skills
http://aswordforhire.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-chase-cards-deck-and-social-combat_6.html
A blog about Pathfinder and freelance RPG design. Saturday, June 6, 2015. What the Chase Cards Deck and Social Combat Deck taught me about skills. The Chase Cards deck goes even further in its imaginativeness. While most of the checks listed are skill checks, sometimes a card offers a saving throw or a combat maneuver check as an alternative. Why do I think it's important or at least useful to include two skills to solve a problem? In my Pathfinder Society scenario, the Golden Guardian. Are quite restric...

http://aswordforhire.blogspot.com/2015/04/homebrew-files-goblin-snakes-lair.html
A blog about Pathfinder and freelance RPG design. Saturday, April 18, 2015. Homebrew Files: A Goblin Snake's Lair (layered full-size encounter map). I still consider myself a novice gm, but on February 8th, 2013, I was a true greenhorn about to run my 3rd session of Pathfinder on the 9th (for a party of six second level dwarves). Green or not, I like to be prepared, so I had planned a few encounters and had stat blocks on hand for each group of opponents. Download the layered PDF:. Open in Acrobat to view.

A blog about Pathfinder and freelance RPG design. Monday, June 8, 2015. PaizoCon Swag Bag: Horned Demon. At PaizoCon 2015, besides having a blast, meeting great people (including the First Sword himself, Mikko Kallio), and learning a great deal about designing for Pathfinder, I also received a bunch of cool merchandise in the convention's swag bag. Among the many items I was excited to receive were a copy of Wayfinder #13. From one of those booster packs, I pulled out a Pathfinder Battles Horned Demon.

A new season of RPG Superstar begins soon, so I'll be posting some RPGSS-related advice (mini) articles in the coming weeks.
