Nok-Nok… He's Here
A while back we revealed Nok-Nok, our fifth goblin promo character for Free RPG Day. That's an annual event where gamers around the world play hobby games all day long. More than a dozen companies provide free products for participating retailers to give out, and Paizo is no exception. In addition to the modules We Be 5uper Goblins! for the Pathfinder RPG and Skitter Shot for Starfinder, we've got Nok-Nok for PACG.
Nok-Nok is from the upcoming Pathfinder: Kingmaker CRPG. My birthday-twin Chris Avellone wrote a bunch of stuff for that game, and so we wanted to honor him by including Nok-Nok in our world. Here's Nok-Nok in all his glory.
When someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes.
We especially like the central mechanic on Nok-Nok: that he cares how many of what are in his location deck. Sure, every character does. But Nok-Nok is especially good at gaining value from cards that aren't even flipped over from the location deck yet. It's kind of awesome to watch.
Also, Nok-Nok may not be every goblin's goblin. The other goblins use his head as a drum, which does not endear them to Nok-Nok. If you want a goblin to solo through the first adventures in Rise of the Runelords or Season of the Runelords, Nok-Nok's your man. Er, goblin. If you can't get your hands on Nok-Nok on Free RPG Day, don't fear! We'll be sending him out for free along with PACG subscription shipments of Ultimate Wilderness in July; non-subscribers will be able to purchase him from paizo.com starting August 2.
Pathfinder Adventures is no more?
Our dear Fenix is АУЕ - his religion prohibits him to talk to authorities. And I couldn't care less about anything Pathfinder.

The first charactres portrait is pretty bad, but the others look nice. I like the art style. I'm sure others will hate the exaggerated weapons and heads, but I like it. It's kind of a mix of JRPG styles and regular western portraits.Weird update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-kingmaker/posts/2206850
Good for seeing all the companions in one place, at least.

These are Wayne Reynolds works, taken straight out of Pathfinder pnp rulebooks, if Im not mistaken. He illustrated a lot of D&D books as well.
