Get ready for the horrors of Tian Xia, organized play for Pathfinder and Starfinder, errata updates, and a new policy on the use of artificial intelligence in Paizo's products.
With all of the news of ORC and OGL, interest in Pathfinder has surged, leading to reprints and waits for the physical books. If you don't mind PDFs, Paizo has partnered with Humble Bundle to create a huge deal to help you play Pathfinder while helping a great cause.
One side-effect of 'OGL-gate' is that games other than Dungeons & Dragons are starting to see increased sales--in some cases, drastically so--as gamers explore other possibilities. Games like Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and our own Level Up, are all experiencing sales surges right now in scenes reminiscent of WotC's 'Game System License' backlash in 2008, which also led to a boom in...
Recently Paizo announced the Open RPG Creator license (ORC). Today they announced that "the orc ancestry/species is now always available for both Pathfinder and Starfinder Society!" They went on to say that "Our oracles indicate a striking number of these new adventurers will be trained in Legal Lore or have the Profession (lawyer) skill."
Pathfinder Hero Point Deck is one of Paizo’s growing line of accessories to help take your game to the next level. They can be used in a multitude of ways, from being a visual way of tracking your Hero Points to adding new ways to utilize your points. Heroic deeds are the cornerstone of great characters throughout literary and gaming history. I love systems that reward players for doing...
The Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie poster was previewed today. It was created by an artist called Bosslogic, and features an ampersand containing various pieces of D&D monster art. The poster was on display at San Diego Comic Con as part of the official D&D movie promotional event. However, one part of the poster appears to be Pathfinder's depiction of an intellect devourer. Is...
When Pinnacle Entertainment and Paizo announced Pathfinder for Savage Worlds (PF/SW), it was that rare perfect crossover, akin to Marvel and DC Comics’ co-publication of the Amalgam Comics promotional stunt. Golarion by way of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition gives a fantastic setting to a great RPG engine. Not to say the Pathfinder editions aren’t great engines or that Savage Worlds does not...
Hello my friends and welcome back to another PAIZO PRODUCT REVIEW! Today we’re taking a look at Pathfinder: Book of the Dead, one of the more interesting supplements to come out recently for Pathfinder second edition. This is a nifty little grimoire for those of y’all just itching to play a shambling undead—or, play undead hunters, I guess, but why do that when you can play a skeleton? Onward!
These Pathfinder and Starfinder updates all dropped in my inbox overnight--press releases announcing Starfinder Drift Crisis, Knights of Lastwall, Abomination Vaults, and Shadows at Sundown. These include a year long 'meta event', a high fantasy knightly sourcebook, and more. Starfinder Drift Crisis is a 'year long meta event' including a hardcover sourcebook, a pair of adventure paths, and...
Jim Butler is now president of Paizo, after Jeff Alvarez steps down on health grounds. Alvarez was promoted to president when CEO Lisa Stevens stepped aside from daily operations in June 2020. Jim Butler was previously VP of Marketing & Licensing. https://www.enworld.org/threads/new-leadership-at-paizo.672727/ Jeff Alvarez has stepped down as president due to health reasons. Paizo has...
Hello my friends and welcome to another PAIZO REVIEW! Today we’re taking on a monster of a setting guide and sinking our teeth into Pathfinder Lost Omens: Absalom, City of Lost Omens. The devs were really let off the leash for this one, so let’s quit mucking about and get into it!
Paizo is set to release one of its adventure paths--The Abomination Vaults--for D&D 5E in November. The AP will be compiled as a hardcover and retail for $59.99. There will also be a Pathfinder 2E version of the hardcover. The 3-part adventure path was originally released for Pathfinder 2E in early 2021, and is a big dungeon crawl adventure. When the mysterious Gauntlight, an eerie...
How was your 2021? For Legendary Games, Publisher Jason Nelson states it was their "literal best year ever." In 2021, there were quite a few wins and at least one opportunity to transform into a better gaming publisher. When game historian Shannon Appelcline shares LG’s history in his Designers & Dragons series, it’ll be one of the (ahem) legendary reads. In this interview, Jason Nelson talks...
Hello my lovelies and welcome to another PAIZO PRODUCT REVIEW! This edition is somewhat-rare double-header: we’re taking a look at Pathfinder Lost Omens: Grand Bazaar and Pathfinder Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth. Both of these tomes were a little too one-note to fill up a full review, but by gum do they punch above their page count when it comes to tasty new content, and I am pleased that I can...
Hello again my friends, and welcome back to another PAIZO PRODUCT REVIEW! Today we’re looking at the recent Pathfinder Guns & Gears supplement, which is almost certainly guaranteed to cause a bit of an argument between you and your GM when it contacts their precious setting! But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s break this down!
Paizo has just announced a partnership with Demiplane to create a D&D Beyond-style digital toolset for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Demiplane (which is described as "a leading digital platform for tabletop roleplaying fans") was launched last year. Its Chief Development Officer is Adam Bradford, D&D Beyond's co-founder, who left D&D Beyond last year at the same time as other senior staff...
