Pathfinder Chronicles vs....


Product Discussion


Hi all,

Yeah, so my question shows I'm more than a bit late to the Pathfinder party. ;-) That said, it is my understanding that Pathfinder Chronicles were the Paizo products created to support 'that other game upon which Pathfinder PRG is based'. Is that correct?

Is there any place which lists which of the Pathfinder Chronicles products (if any) have been updated to Pathfinder Campaign Setting, Player Companion, etc.? How about a list of Pathfinder Chronicles products which are still compatible with Pathfinder RPG? (Or all they all technically still compatible?) Or a list of current/recent products which might even supersede content from Pathfinder Chronicles books?

Thanks!

Harry

The older "Chronicles" products for 3.5 and the newer "Campaign Setting" products for PFRPG are conveniently listed in two groups there :)

As far as I know, the only book that was updated was the main Campaign Setting book itself, the latest edition of which is at

Looking at the adventure paths, you'll find a similar split. The first Adventure Path that was written specifically for PFRPG rather than 3.5 was Council of Thieves, which started in AP#25. Everything before that was for 3.5, although "Rise of the Runelords" which appeared in the first 6 APs was updated for PFRPG in an anniversary edition that collected all six parts in a single volume.

All of that said... it's technically all compatible as PFRPG was built upon 3.5, you'll just have to fudge a few stats here and there. There's a free conversion guide available at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/resources so you can take a look at how much work is involved.

EDIT: There's at least one more Chronicles book that's seen an update. "Seekers of Secrets (PZO9211)" is superceded by "Pathfinder Society Field Guide (PZO9235)"
