From a Pathfinder campaign I am reading. It's not yet on the map, but I am thinking of putting it. They all have introductions by the chief author, generally telling readers how he came to be involved with Pathfinder, or with RPGs in general, and how the idea for the campaign came to him, or how they planned it with the execs at Paizo etc. All the PF books have this introduction, until somewhere near the end of PF1, where they abruptly stop. The PF2 rulebook has no introduction at all for example. It's weird as fuck, because you would expect them to explain WHY they felt they needed a new edition, and what goals it was designed to accomplish. ALL core rulebooks I have read have this introduction, but PF2, from Paizo—the kings of introductions—has no such introduction. It smells fishy and I don't like it, to the point of suspecting that the company has sold out and their writers have no motivation to write introductions any more.
HOWEVER, after checking their forums and seeing how passionate their writers still seem about developing the game and the world... I am at ease.
It's still a mystery though why they dispensed with the introductions.
Anyway, the above was one of the many introductions produced in the early years of Pathfinder, and I thought it was hilarious enough to share.
