The Know Direction Network is your premier source for Pathfinder and Starfinder coverage, from podcasts to blogs and more!

Every two weeks, the Know Direction podcast covers Pathfinder with news, reviews, and interviews, recorded live in front of a Twitch audience and available for download wherever you get your podcasts.

Once a month, Know Direction goes Beyond, extending our signature coverage to the growing universe of Starfinder. Like our flagship, Know Direction Beyond is recorded live and available for download at your convenience.

Looking for adventure? Look no further than our actual play podcasts: In Adventurous, we are running through the War for the Crown, a Pathfinder 1e Adventure Path GMed by the AP’s developer Crystal Frasier! And in Stellar, our own Vanessa Hoskins takes network members to the stars in the Starfinder Adventure Path Against the Aeon Throne.

Not all of our interests are *-finder. Once a month, members of our network get positively geeky and Geek Together about shows, movies, comics, games, and more.

Can’t make it to PaizoCon or GenCon and feel like you are missing out on the latest news from Paizo? Lucky for you, we con when you can’t. The KD con team has been recording and sharing seminars at the two biggest Pathinder convention destinations for years. Listen to what you missed in our Con Recordings.

In addition to our audio content, Know Direction features daily blogs from Pathfinder and Starfinder fans, freelancers, and even a Paizo staff member. Check back every day for one or more blogs to inform and entertain.
