Pathfinder announces a new set of seven runerard miniatures by Wizkids

The Pathfinder tabletop role-playing system, now in its second edition, is bringing the legendary runeords to life. A new set of seven miniatures by WizKids will be available this summer featuring arched wizards plaguing the world of Golarians since 2007.

The original storyline of Seven Runners is wrapped up in the birth of Pathfinder, which came out of the 3.5 version of Dungeons & Dragons in 2007. Jason Bulhamhon, the lead designer at the time, helped create the first version of Paizo’s marquee tabletop RPG. – – Rich, interdependent narratives for which Pathfinder would be famous.

Unlike the modern incarnation of D&D, which can feel a bit ugly as it moves from one setting and one villain to the next, the people who have played Pathfinder know the Runralds well. They were the focal point of the first six adventure paths (Pathfinder term for a narrative campaign) published for TTRPG. Title burnt offerings, The Skinsaw Murds, Hook Mountains Massacre, Stone giants fort, Sins of the savior, And Zin-Scholst Spies, They were later collected together Rise of the Runners Anniversary Edition in 2012.

In an interview with Reporter Door, Mark Moreland, director of brand strategy, said, “They’ve been the main for our three adventure paths in the first edition.” “They were really connective tissues that were associated with our first Pathfinder AP, Rise of runners, One of the last to wrap up our first edition arc in 2018 Runners return“

The runeords associate themselves with one of each of the classic seven deadly sins, including Alzanist (anger), Belimaris (jealousy), Karzoug (greed), Kroon (lethargy), Sorshan (lust), Zanderghul (pride), and Zutha ( Gluttoni) are included. ) Belongs to. Each of the new 28mm miniatures will be sold individually either online or at local hobby shops. They will also be paired with their own runways.

“It’s a magical artifact that each Runelord has that allows them to tap into the sin spell,” Moreland said. “Anger is associated with evocation, because it is about destroying all things. Lust is fascination, because it is about manipulating others for their own will. Greed is about transmutation – the old alchemist who sleeps Can lead in, and so forth. So they use these runways to conduct magical rituals and spells. “

Both miniature lords and their wells will figure prominently in a strategic battle containing Pathfinder’s signature. They will be fully compatible with the Wizkids line of Warlock Tabletop terrain. Even though the adventures that present themselves to the Runnerders have not been updated in the second edition of Pathfinder, Paizo hopes that eventually turning them into physical miniatures will help players become the centerpiece of their own homebrew campaigns. Will be found.

“These will be useful in three different adventure paths from the first edition,” Morland said, including Shattered star together Growth And Runners return. “Two of these runlayers have actually survived – within the world’s canon – and now the rulers share […] And those two figures are still around, so even if you’re not running a runerard campaign, your player characters can still meet them. “

So is this pathfinder a twinge for those who die? A sign of things to come and, perhaps, the return of Runnerlds again for a second edition? Paizano’s marketing and media manager Aaron Shanks said that nothing was planned right now. But for maleist magical users with 10,000 years of in-fiction history behind them, anything can happen.

No pricing or release date has been set for Return of the Runlords, but Wizkids says more information should be available soon.
