Man...sometimes I catch myself saying "I wish Paizo owned Dungeons and Dragons"...
Not that I don't like WotC, but there is an inkling of wishing in there for me. |

you should see their tieflings.......

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Yeah, that one caught my attention, too.
Most of the Pathfinder artwork is simply wonderful. It certainly is better than anything WotC's done since letting go of Elmore, Easley, and Caldwell. |

I'm sorry to say... but judging from what I've seen here, it's a massive step up -- visually -- from what I've just been exposed to in the first issue of the new FORGOTTEN REALMS comic from IDW.
Aside from Ed's writing, and Sal's inks, there was very little I could take from this new book that I actually enjoyed. |

I found some of the early Pathfinder artwork to be a bit 'off' (or at least not my style), but there's one image of Seoni sitting down on a rock with what is I think her lizard familiar, and I really like that image and art style. |

The artwork in the FR comic is far superior to the Drizzt comic but it is a step back from the Eberron annual. (which was very good one shot)
I did noticed in the May issue of Previews you can't even order the FR comic. I was hoping for an ongoing series.  |
I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.
(Strikes dramatic pose, raises sword to gleam in the sunset, and hopes breeches won’t fall down.)
Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .
So saith Ed. <snip>
love to all,

WotC/D&D should have partnered with Todd McFarlane, both for a comic and a toy line.
Now that they are owned by Hasbro, that could never happened.  |

I dunno... McFarlane made some really nice looking figures... But I had issues with trying to pose some of them. What's the point of making a figure super-articulated if that very articulation means it won't hold a pose?
I had one figure that was so bad I had to super-glue its knee into position, to keep it from bending!
Most were solid and held their pose quite well, but there were a handful that I had serious issues with. Of course, now I've only got a couple of those figures... 
I've also had that issue with a few Revoltech figures; most recently War Machine and the Alien. The Danboard figure, on the other hand, stands up quite readily and holds its pose without issue. |

-Being a collector (used to be, anyway), I think a lot of the problems that super articulated toys have with holding poses is due to manufacturing. I've had before literally two of the same things, one that would hold and one that would flop around and not. |

Aye. The solicitations from IDW are often left vague, I think, because some books have problems meeting the shipping deadline. |

I could see an FR comic in the classic 90's style of McFarlane's art on Amazing Spider-Man.
I'd buy it! |

| Has anyone else followed Pathfinder's comics? if so, what did you think of the Tarzan/JohnCarter/RedSonja/Golarion crossover? |
