'''James Lafond Sutter''' filled many positions at [[Paizo Inc.]] during his 13-year tenure at the company: webstore intern, customer service agent, Assistant Editor on ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'', Fiction Editor (overseeing the [[Pathfinder Tales]] line from its inception until 2017), Senior Editor, and eventually Creative Director of the [[Starfinder]] brand, which launched in 2017. His Pathfinder Tales novels, ''[[Death's Heretic]]'' and ''[[The Redemption Engine]]'' are fan-favorites, and were both honored with critical accolades. In September 2017, Sutter left Paizo to pursue other writing endeavors including working on comics and author-owned fiction. In addition to the RPG products listed below, he is also the author of numerous short stories in such venues as ''Catastrophia'' (PS Publishing), ''Apex Magazine'', and ''Black Gate'', and the editor of the anthology ''Before They Were Giants: First Works From Science Fiction Greats'' released under Paizo's Planet Stories imprint. Aside from writing, he has toured modestly with several bands and musical projects, including the now-defunct hardcore metal band [http://www.myspace.com/shadowatmorning Shadow at Morning].
