The Glass Cannon (podcast)
''The Glass Cannon'' is a podcast featuring the ''Pathfinder Roleplaying Game'' by Paizo Publishing, and is the flagship podcast of The Glass Cannon Network (GCN). The first episode was released on June 16, 2015, and over 326 episodes were produced before the first campaign came to its conclusion in June of 2022. The initial adventure of the podcast followed the ''Giantslayer'' adventure path from Paizo supplemented by a significant amount of homebrew content to further flesh out the backstories of characters outside the purview of the main adventure path resources. Their irreverent, off-the-wall style complemented by their deep cinematic storytelling has made the Glass Cannon the bar against which most actual podcasts are measured. Listeners are encouraged to begin at Episode 1 â ''Introducing Tom Exposition''€ť for the full experience. After receiving his MFA in Acting from Columbia University, Troy Lavallee spent the better part of two decades pounding the pavement as an actor ...

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
The ''Pathfinder Roleplaying Game'' is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) that was published in 2009 by Paizo Publishing. The first edition extends and modifies the System Reference Document (SRD) based on the revised 3rd edition ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') published by Wizards of the Coast under the Open Game License (OGL) and is intended to be backward-compatible with that edition. A new version of the game, ''Pathfinder 2nd Edition'', was released in August 2019. It continues to use the OGL and SRD, but significant revisions to the core rules make the new edition incompatible with content from either Pathfinder 1st Edition or any edition of D&D. ''Pathfinder'' is supported by the official ''Pathfinder'' periodicals and various third-party content created to be compatible with the game. Background Beginning in 2002, Paizo took over publishing '' Dragon'' and ''Dungeon'' magazines, which were about the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') role-playing game, under contra ...
