Christina Stiles is leading a kickstarter for the definitive Pathfinder book on lycanthropes. Here’s the info on the project: Who doesn’t love lycanthropes? Bite Me! The Gaming Guide to Lycanthropes provides rules for playing were-creatures in a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game campaign—no reason a character should be benched just because she contracts lycanthropy, after all!—as well as new were types, traits, feats, and magic! The book focuses on useful information for lycanthropes for all Pathfinder campaigns, and provides specific information on lycanthropes in SpirosBlaak, a setting with a long history of Kav (lycanthrope) wars; Midgard (property of Kobold Press); and Vathak (property of Fat Goblin Games).

Recently, she’s been a lead designer on several projects for Kobold Press, including Journeys to the West, Midgard Tales, and (replacement designer) Dark Deeds in Freeport.

Rogue Mage review available
Timothy Brannan has posted a review of Rogue Mage up on his gaming blog, which you can read here. He has a lot to say about the game, so it may help those of you still sitting on the fence about this game make up your minds. I find it interesting Timothy draws a comparison to Eden Studios‘ Armageddon: the End Times, my favorite post-apocalyptic game (no surprise, considering Misfit Studio’s previous license to release products for Armageddon.) The one thing about Timothy’s review I personally want to clear up is his credit to Misfit Studios in the closing paragraphs. Misfit Studios is the PDF publisher, and I’ve personally spoken to Christina about the game on and off during its development, but Misfit Studios is just facilitating the PDF sales in this case. Any credit for the book’s quality goes to Christina, Spike, Faith, and the rest of the development …
