| Would you subscribe to a patron project involving The Great Beyond? |
| Maybe. I love planar adventures, but I'm not sold on a Pathfinder-specific project. |

| No. Open Design should concentrate on humbler fare with a wider audience. |

Cool! I'm glad my suggestion has received so much favorable attention from so many freelancing luminaries! I am not a freelancer, merely a devotee with a passion for patron projects. Whatever you guys get going, I will definitely be up for chipping my hard-earned greenbacks into it. Some thoughts:
Heaven/Hell as the two poles of an adventure/suppliment would be good, but they have been done a LOT. Very biblical.
Keeping in the Nordic/Slavic tradition of Midgard, the Bifrost Bridge/Yggdrasil/Baba Yaga all spring to mind.
Maybe a quest to rescue the soul of a fallen warrior destined for Asgard but waylaid by the minions of Loki/Hel/Baba Yaga for some nefarious purpose?
I still would love to have Todd Stewart expand on the Great Beyond for a patron project, but it seems this isn't being received as well as I had thought. I love your work, Shemmy, keep plugging!
Anyway, I look forward to whatever anyone can come up with!  |
This makes me think more about the fluff I posted in the clubhouse. Sigh |

Just an idle thought. Todd Stewart's The Great Beyond book detailed out a bit of Paizo's take on the multiverse, but obviously only covered the broad basics. I would love to see an adventure set in some of these new places for the Pathfinder ruleset. Any chance of something like this occuring in the future?
I put in a poll for fun, to see if there is any interest  |
Just now saw this. If this could be like a Beyond Countless Doorway deal and you throw in Todd and Jim on this? Sign me up. |

I'd certainly be inviting Colin in, and trying to make time to do a bit of it myself. We'll see what things look like in the New Year. Right now, there's the tail end of Courts, Red Eye, and Margreve, plus the early stages of Frozen, Streets, and Lost and one more coming along in a while. So....
Planes later on.

It's a license, so I have to be careful so I don't say too much.
Really quite an interesting project, I think, and I hope to hear from the lead designer on some elements ... .today? This week certainly.

As I figured! =) But I am glad it is something a lot of folks feel good about for the future. I know as either a Golarion-specific thing or a more Zobeckian-centric cosmos, I will be joining up. |

I just finalized reading The Great Beyond today again, for the second time.
(I guess I'm not the only one reading sourcebooks over and over in time.)
One thing I really love about The Great Beyond is that there are so many mysteries, so many loose ends, so many details that my mind jumps to detail, elaborate and fill with obscure information.
I'd always like to be a part of any project on Pathfinder Planar cosmology and as a senior patron if I can! I have always had my soft spot for cosmologies and mysteries... |

I really need to bring this up with the Paizonians again. It would require their permission to use the Golarion IP.

I'm glad that you like the book
I like mysteries too, and I try to make it a point to write them such that they're put out there with enough information to make you think about them and use them, rather than just dropping a random name and never doing anything with it. Open mysteries are awesome when they're written intentionally as open mysteries with the expectation that folks will build upon what's there and that the writer may revisit them in the future with a little bit more detail to hint and promise but only rarely give a solid, ironclade -this is the utter truth and nothing else- proclamation.
I adored how Planescape did this, and often presented different, clashing truths from different unreliable narrators. I tried to capture some of that style in TGB.
And fwiw, I like to revisit those mysteries in other products when it makes sense. For instance, Tegresin the Laughing Fiend first shows up in The Great Beyond, but he pops back up in Classic Treasures Revisited in the Well of Worlds chapter with some more detail. There are several others, but the books haven't come out yet so I can't say that they'll be kept post-editing, but I do try to go back and give nibbles on some of those things I put out as open questions and plot hooks.
And back on the main topic, yeah I'd totally be game to contribute something to an open design project out on the planes.
