Pathfinder (periodical)

Pathfinder is a monthly periodical from Paizo Publishing which will begin publication in August 2007. A continuation of the Adventure Path concept from the soon-to-be-cancelled Dungeon magazine, each year's worth of Pathfinder will publish two complete Adventure Paths in six issues each, with supplementary articles to fill out each 96-page issue.

Pathfinder will be published under the terms of the Open Gaming License. This prevents Paizo from using specific elements of Dungeons & Dragons IP excluded from the OGL (as was possible in Dragon and Dungeon, since Paizo had a separate license with Wizards of the Coast), but enables them to make use of OGL material from other publishers, which was not permitted in Dragon or Dungeon.

Rise of the Runelords
The first Adventure Path featured in Pathfinder is entitled Rise of the Runelords. It will consist of the following adventures:


 * "Burnt Offerings" by James Jacobs

 * "Fortress of the Stone Giants" by Wolfgang Baur
 * "Sins of the Saviours" by Stephan S. Greer
 * "Spires of Xin-Shalast" by Greg A. Vaughan
