Tales of the Zoetrope
Tales of the Zoetrope, a short fiction anthology by James Case and Simone D. Sallé, was released in February 2025. It collects the web fiction series of Grandmother's Story and Zoetrope Logs, which were originally published to promote the release of Howl of the Wild.
“In the nation of Droon, far to the south of Golarion's Mwangi Expanse, a young lizardfolk listens to his grandmother's story of the legendary Wardens of the Wild—great beasts said to guard the very essence of the waters, skies, forests, fields, and mountains of the world. Inspired by these tales of wonder, the boy, named Baranthet, grew up to become a scholar, naturalist, and most excitingly, an explorer. Now, with the crew of the airship Zoetrope, Baranthet traverses the skies of Golarion in search of the Wardens of the Wild, and becomes captivated by all the other wonders of the natural world the ship’s eclectic crew finds along the way.
With Pathfinder: Tales of the Zoetrope, readers can relive "Grandmother's Story" (by James Case) and be inspired just as young Baranthet was and delve into a sampling of the "Zoetrope Logs" (by Simone D. Sallé), recounting the crew's adventures in the present day. For more exciting exploits of the Zoetrope crew, as well as countless new character and monster options for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Second Edition, check out Pathfinder Howl of the Wild, available wherever RPG products are sold.
