Searching for Pathfinder RPG Fan Sites

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Sat, 03/21/2009 - 4:29am

I've decided to make the Pathfinder Role-Playing Game subject of one of my upcoming "Summon WebScryer" columns for Knights of the Dinner Table. The successor to D&D 3.5 (in spirit, if not in name) is going to be released this summer, so it seems like a good time to write about it. I'm looking for anything that has to do with the RPG; playtests of the beta, campaign web sites, you name it. If you know of one, please post it to the comments or email me at nuketown@gmail.com.

Hey not sure how you missed d20pfsrd.com in your list of Pathfinder Fan sites but I wanted to bring it to your attention. I know this post of yours is many months old bust just noticed it now.

Thanks!

John

I saw you article was written back in March. I've started up the Pathfinder Database to provide a place for fan content, something that seemed lacking.

Its not a fan site, but Kobold Quarterly had an article in Issue 7. "The Monsters of Osirion" by Philip Larwood. It includes:
Asakku (a harpy like creature riding a whirlwind) CR7
Deathtrap Ooze (an ooze that lives in traps) CR8
Sandwalker (scorpion with two tails and 4 pincers) CR11
Torthune (a golden globe that holds body parts together) CR12

I did an article on Pathfinder fan sites a few weeks ago, and it looks like there's been a blossoming and content build-up since then. Exciting times!

Yeah, I remember seeing that -- I think I got one or two from your article actually.For those who are curious, here's the RPGBlog2 article Zach's talking about: Pathfinder RPG Fan Sites.

One of the guys in my group also pointed me to these two LiveJournal blogs:

I agree that Pathfinder sites are definitely on the rise, which I think is good for the system. I think web support, both by companies and fans, is huge for games nowadays. In Pathfinder's case, I think it will help show they're a viable alternative to D&D 4E.

Here's a cool interview with one of the Pathfinder Campaign guide's designers regarding the influence of Planescape on the Pathinder Campaign Setting's cosmology.
