An update... finally!
So, I just received news Sunday that two of my three critter submissions for the Cheliax-themed Wayfinder #11 didn't make the cut. Which still isn't bad, considering 1) how much competition there is to get anything into an issue, 2) the hard page cap on this PaizoCo 2014 edition because it'll receive a print run, and c) both of them fit much better in the upcoming Osirion-themed issue.
The third critter is making its way through editing, but I've thrown the other two into some quick HTML for the Web:
- Critter #1 is the sal'awaan, a humanoid shapechanger based on the sal'awa cryptid from real-world Africa and the lupin therianthrope legend of real-world Europe. You'll find its article here. (6/15/2014 Edit: Link pulled to rework it.)
- Critter #2 is the brushtail fennec, a fennec fox-variant briefly mentioned way back in the Legacy of Fire Player's Guide. The existing templated-conversion has never sat well with me; it's physically too big, too strong, and ignores the fennec fox's keen hearing. So I rebuilt it. (6/15/2014 Edit: Link pulled for minor reworking.)
If you have any suggestions, questions, or corrections, don't hesitate to comment.
Edit: Fixed some HTML issues.

The fennec fox is one of my favorite animals, and I thought you did a great job capturing what makes it cool.
ReplyDeleteI would agree that these don't thematically fit Cheliax, but I like them.
Thanks! I was worried it'd be overpowered as a familiar option. Freehold gave me some great advice/ideas on the sal'awaan too; maybe with some re-writes they'll both make it into Wayfinder #12?
