As mafia dwindles in popularity, Pathfinder on Smogon has been increasing in popularity for two years now. I've heard many requests from players to do an article in the Smog, with the purpose of more outreach. We're now at a stable enough point with enough game masters that I feel it is appropriate.
Pathfinder is a form of Dungeons & Dragons, and currently the most popular form. In the article I will give a brief discussion of Smogon's history with the game.
I will talk about the Philosopher's Stone War, a battle royale where players use mythical and historical characters and fight against each other. I'll talk about some of the high and low points of each of the three wars so far (like Lightwolf's final battle again IPL in PSWI, or the Ginganinga's dragon incident from PSWII). I'll also talk about some of the exciting new changes going into PSWIV (hosted by Aura Guardian), including room for more players.
I will then talk about Pathfinder Society, a sort of Pathfinder MMO. It is particularly for the needs of website like Smogon, since there is no commitment past playing a single scenario at a time. We currently have four game masters, so we have plenty of room for curious new players. Whether we get smogoners who have always been curious about d20 gaming, or experienced Pathfinders who just don't visit Circus Maximus, I think the time is right for this kind of article.
If it goes over well, I can in the future write articles helping beginners into the society, and I know a few others would love to write about PSW.
Thank you for your consideration.
