Building on more than 10 years of system development and the largest open playtest in the history of tabletop gaming, Paizo Publishing’s Pathfinder Roleplaying Game remains one of the bestselling tabletop RPG’s on the market with an estimated 100,000-plus gamers participating in active Pathfinder campaigns. An evolution of the 3.5 rules, Pathfinder offers an unparalleled fantasy roleplaying experience as players are thrust into the roles of brave adventurers fighting to survive in a world beset by magic and evil! The only limit is the breadth and scope of your imagination!

The May issue of GTM  heralds a landmark achievement as Paizo celebrates its decade-long engagement as a full-fledged game publishing juggernaut and five-year run of Pathfinder adventuring in the fantastic world of Golarion! The past comes alive as our Cover Story recounts the storied history — and presages the near future — of Paizo’s ever-popular, ever-expansive Pathfinder line, coupled with a fantastic “Rise of the Runelords” Anniversary Giveaway fit for a Kingmaker. Speaking of Anniversaries, former Wizards of the Coast CEO, game developer, and GenCon promoter Peter Adkison lauds 45-years of “The Best Four Days in Gaming” and its 10-year stint in Indianapolis. Not to be overshadowed, Fantasy Flight sheds light on The Blood Moon, the terrifying new expansion for Talisman, Mayfair Games gears up for a planet-tripping jaunt in Rocket Jockey, and Corvus Belli takes us deep into the futuristic war-trenches of Infinity. Plus, Kaylor’s quirky Perspectives, Kovalic’s zany Dork Tower, Cook’s sinister Shandler Chronicles, and tons o’ gaming produce to pique your fancy round out the festivities.

So, grab a cup o’ Nog, raise it high, and rejoice! GTM #147 has plenty worth celebrating!
