Ryan, Perram, and guest co-host Loren Sieg discuss the new Pathfinder: Kingmaker from Owlcat Games. All three have had a chance to play the game, and while none has completed it, they all have a lot to say on Pathfinder's first major CRPG release.

One of the most praised aspects of the Pathfinder 2e playtest is the Pathfinder Society scenarios. Joining us to discuss them and the future of the organized play program are Organized Play Manager Tonya Woldridge and Organized Play Lead Developer John Compton.

2018 certainly was a year. We'll be looking back on the news, releases, cons, and games of the year in the next episode of Know Direction, recording Wednesday, December 19th. Additionally, we'd like to end the year interacting with our fans. If you have a question for the no question segment, let us know! We'll be asking for questions on Discord, Facebook, and Twitter, as well but if time gets tight, priority will be given to the questions we get…

With the playtest wrapped up, the Pathfinder design team is going full steam ahead working on the new edition Pathfinder. Pathfinder lead designer Jason Bulmahn joins us to talk about turning the experience and feedback they received into a game that's easier to learn, faster to play at all levels, allows depth of character options and customization, and gives GMs the tools to tell the stories they want to tell.

What is Pathfinder? Is it a campaign system, the adventures in which are run with a default but optional setting? Or is it an RPG system, for which a campaign setting is provided for you convenience? Know Direction network bloggers Andrew Marlowe and Randal Meyer join Ryan and Perram to discuss this and more in this Banter episode of Know Direction.

As the 1e steams dry up, the Pathfinder Player Companion Line remains one of the last sources for familiar content. We cut through the jungle that is Wilderness Origins to see how it compares to past Origins titles and whether it changes our already glowing opinion of Ultimate Wilderness.
