Pre-Order Your Books For Pathfinder 2nd Edition
March 9, 2019 by dracs
It's nearly here, Paizo have announced that the second edition of their popular fantasy roleplaying game Pathfinder will be released on the first of August, this year!
In the meantime, the first series of books for the game have gone up for pre-order.
First, we have the Core Rulebook itself, providing everything GMs and players need to run a game of Pathfinder.
There is also the Bestiary, detailing the many and varied creatures that exist within this world.
Beyond these essentials, Paizo are also releasing the Lost Omens World Guide, letting you explore the world of Pathfinder further.
To help you get started, Paizo will also be releasing two adventures. Hellknight Hill, the first volume of the Age of Ashes, starts a six-part monthly Pathfinder campaign, while The Fall of Plaguestone provides you with a standalone adventure, the debut adventure of Pathfinder Second Edition.
GM Screens, a Character Sheet Pack, Condition Cards, and a Combat Pad have also appeared for pre-order, getting you all set for the game's release.
There has been a lot of excitement surrounding the new edition of Pathfinder and it is good to see it so close to release. I will admit, Pathfinder is a system that I have yet to play, but now this may be my opportunity to give it a go.
Is Pathfinder your favourite system?

I have Pathfinder and Starfinder. What I saw of Pathfinder 2 didn’t excite me enoughk to want to buy it.
They’re all a bit too rules dense for my gaming needs now. Players need a copy to plan and level their characters plus keep track of feats, spells etc… my players don’t buy books and if they did, wouldn’t read them.
I noticed the same thing after I got the 1st edition starterset …
and the ad-copy for 2nd edition isn’t selling the system to me either (a few hundred pages of rules don’t excite me … quite the contrary).
Maybe I’m getting too old for such mechanically heavy systems ?
OSR and related systems have been a real eye opener to me.
I know what you mean… I hate looking up rules during the game session…
And we only get a couple of hours a week, so time is important and given the choice, I’d rather have some fun interacting with characters than looking up rules, or rolling dice for one very long fight (and with D&D/Pathfinder at high levels the fights can take a while).
The bestiary may well be worth getting stats for the monsters.
