Lorefinder puts you in the role of a brave adventurer in search of forbidden secrets and lost treasures. Uncover strange cults, solve baffling murders, or delve into the deepest dungeons and face their denizens—and, if you are both clever and lucky, return to tell the tale. Your fate is in your hands!
Lorefinder merges the action-oriented fantasy rules of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game with the streamlined investigative focus of Robin D Law’s GUMSHOE (The Esoterrorists, Trail of Cthulhu, Ashen Stars). Bad luck might get you killed, but it won’t stop you finding the information you need to move ahead.
For GMs, there are concise, well-honed guidelines on creating mysteries for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
The Lorefinder supplement contains:
An adaptation of the GUMSHOE investigative rules for fantasy adventuring
Character creation and conversion guidelines for use with Pathfinder
Drives to bring you into the heart of the adventure
New skills, spells and feats
Guides for designing mysteries and campaigns
"At Slaughter Field," a sample Lorefinder scenario
Lorefinder can change the way you run The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game forever.
Do you enjoy the Pathfinder system? I'm assuming you do.
Would you like a way to run an encounter, a session or even a campaign centered around a mystery without frustrating your players when they can't roll well enough to beat your DCs?
This is the book for you.
GUMSHOE allows you to run a mystery the right way -- not by limiting access to clues, but by providing easy access to clues and making the interpretation of those clues into the mystery.
It's not a long book, but it is definitely high quality.
The pdf is definitely worth adding to your arsenal.
