Earth Dragon

Earth Dragon by Forrest Imel
We have new releases coming along shortly with many things in various states of editing and a whole whack of art coming in. Right now, I should be working on Monsters Unleashed but I do not like my work on the Ioun Beholder so it is time to break away from that.

One of our newest artists is Forrest Imel. You can see Forrest's work here.

The image to the right is a piece of stock art we are selling with Forrest. Forrest had created this piece for his own use but allowed us to license it for stock art sale. Currently, he doesn't have any statistics so I thought I might take a moment to do them up here.

Earthstrike (Ex) As a full-round action the earth dragon can strike the ground with incredible force. It makes a trip attack CMB +13 against all opponents standing within 30 ft. of it. This action does not provoke attacks of opponent. Any creature tripped is knocked prone in the square they are in and suffer 2d6 points of nonlethal damage.

Earth Dragons, better known as World Breakers are terrible creatures who revel in the destruction of objects. They travel the desert wastes of Porphyra and shatter any settlement they come upon. It is unclear if Earth Dragons were native to Porphyra before the Grand Reconstruction or if they are a more recent immigrant. Some have suggested that the Earth Dragons are minions of The Lord of the Burning Throne, Fenris Kul. Regardless of their original, Earth Dragons present one of the most constant threats to the people of the desert wastes.

F is for Femanx and Forlarren

Image
Back on July 1st, I blogged about the alien race known as the Femanx that caused onto Porphyra. It you didn't read it you can find the entry here . I believe I called them Femiax but I believe that name is closed content so in the final Races of Porphyra and Lands of Porphyra they will be address as Femanx. The other race that we have worked up for the letter F is the forlarren. Forlarren are the unfortunate offspring of demonic forces and nymphs. They are a very troubled race. We first worked with the folarren as a playable race back in Monstrous Races: The Second Wave and they turned out something like this. FORLARREN RACIAL TRAITS (0 RP) +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence: Forlarren are graceful and intuitive, but possess only a low cunning that serves their cruelty. (2 RP) Fey: Forlarren are of the fey type. Forlarren possess no racial hit dice and exchange the features of their fey type for the class features of a PC or NPC class. (0 RP) Medium : Forlarren are Medi...

Megadungeons...

We need more megadungeons for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. There is Dungeon-A-Day, obviously and Paizo has just released Dungeons of Golarion (but its more of an overview). We need a classic megadungeon You know the kind... It doesn't have much in the way of plot or even make a lot of sense from level to level but it does have: - pathways to the darklands - prisons for eldritch demons - ancient ruins - lost civilizations - legendary weapons - unexplainable magic (lost magic) - mines - slave pits - elemental nodes - water-filled passages - mazes - one way doors (heck secret doors) - traps - haunted levels - classic monsters (ropers, trapper, mimics, otyughs [especially otyughs], owlbears) - dragons - monsters too big to have ever fit down those hallways. - artifacts A classic megadungeon with everything wrong and right about it. Who is with me!

Forest of Gora

The Forest of Gora sits between the kingdoms of Illaya and Grismor and serves as their border. Trade routes circle either side of the far stretching forest. Outposts can even be seen within sight of the forest, but none are ever directly next to it. Both kingdoms have learned nothing built near Gora will last the season without being ransacked or razed by those living in it. Both nations have tried on numerous occasions through the generations to lay claim to the land, either by force or in cooperation. Ill prepared for the guerrilla tactics of those that reside in it, they were held back every time. When the native occupants took out their building hostility on the private trade caravans that passed near their borders a quick, unofficial truce was quickly made with the impending threat of economic collapse a lack of trade would cause. Ecology Much of the flora and fauna of Gora is what one would expect from a temperate forest. A mix of broadleaf and evergreens provide a balance of wax...
