Black Fireday to Cyber Moonday Sale!

Greetings!
In the marking of time in Golarion, we find ourselves in the month of late Neth, or Joya. Here on Earth (a planet dear to us in Pathfinder Reign of Winter canon), many of us in the United States find ourselves on the cusp of celebrating Thanksgiving, which leads to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This sale is brought to you by Abadar, Master of the First Vault, and by Triune, the All-Code. Actually, given their portfolios, one could argue all our sales are sponsored by them. Chances are they’ll both survive until next year to sponsor it again. Or not—just wait until you see our Death and Dying rules for deities.

Experience the World in Exploration Mode

“Exploration mode is the connective tissue of your adventure or quest—everything that happens as the characters move between encounters. It could be looking for a rare book in a library, trailblazing through a spooky forest, fortifying a castle before a monster attack, or canvassing the city for a missing person.” ­– Pathfinder GM Core

Let’s Get Compatible!

It’s November 15th, and that means that Player Core and GM Core are now officially out! These remastered products bring a lot of exciting changes to Pathfinder Second Edition, but that doesn’t mean you have to ditch your older books or stop using the classes that don’t appear in Player Core. To help you use classes and other options that are affected by the Remaster changes, we’re presenting a handful of compatibility errata for the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Advanced Player’s Guide, Secrets of Magic, and Dark Archive on the Pathfinder FAQ!

Pathfinder Infinite and the ORC License

Tomorrow, Paizo will release our first books using the Open RPG Creative license (ORC), which, like the OGL before it, will allow other publishers to use some of Paizo’s copyrighted material (specifically, rules expressions) in their own products. There are several extant licenses that allow other parties to use Paizo’s IP, including the OGL, Pathfinder/Starfinder Compatibility Licenses, and Paizo Community Use Policy. But today, I’d like to address some questions we’ve been receiving from creators releasing content under the Community Content Agreement for Pathfinder Infinite and Starfinder Infinite, on those respective marketplaces. Specifically, I want to answer everyone’s burning question, from the newly updated Infinite FAQ:

Fight For Control Of Korvosa In Pathfinder Revolution!

It begins as a spark—whispered words in a tavern, a slogan scrawled in a sordid alley, a quiet conversation in one of the great halls of power. It can sweep through neighborhoods like a fire, taking over entire cities with a rapidity that can scarcely be believed. Rulers may fear it, and the populace may hope to control it, but kings and paupers alike can be consumed by it. This powerful force has many names, but it’s most commonly known as . . . Revolution!

November 2023 Organized Play Monthly Update

I am very sorry to report to you all that Linda Zayas-Palmer’s last day with Paizo was October 20th. Linda has been with Organized Play for more than a decade, from her time as a GM to being hired at Paizo and eventually leading development. She's launched two separate Organized Play programs, which is a feat few can match. We will miss her terribly, and I will miss her especially as a partner in crime (metaphorically, of course; we never did any crimes that you can prove). If you are so inclined, please leave a nice message for her in the comments below!

Tis the Season!

By which, of course, I mean the spooky season, but also the new Pathfinder Adventure Path, Season of Ghosts! This is the first Adventure Path I’ve been the lead developer on from the very start since Age of Ashes, back when we were launching Second Edition Pathfinder. Since then, I’ve worked on hardcover compilations, written for other Adventure Paths, and developed ones that started with other folks who moved on to other opportunities. All of which was a lot of fun, of course, but it’s nice to be back in the proverbial saddle, creating outlines and plots from the start.

Paizo Pricing & Sustainability Update

It’s that time of year where company presidents look into the future, comparing what it costs to produce and create game products today versus what it did last year–and how those costs will change in the year to come. No one likes to raise prices, but doing so is a necessity. Paizo is not immune to economic factors like inflation, nor industry-wide fluctuations in cost-of-goods, labor, or shipping and logistics, and we must periodically adjust our prices to reflect rising costs. Let’s break things down.

Modes of Play: Encounter

When every individual action counts, you enter the encounter mode of play. In this mode, time is divided into rounds, each of which is 6 seconds of time in the game world. Every round, each participant takes a turn in an established order. During your turn, you can use actions, and depending on the details of the encounter, you might have the opportunity to use reactions and free actions on your own turn and on others’ turns. — Player Core

Iconic Encounter: Warmth from the Heart

Yoon’s target lay broken in the soot in front of her. She felt the air enter her lungs, but she didn’t pay it any heed, only the energy it held. The breath circulated through the young kineticist’s veins, coursing through her organs and flickering with the faintest traces of elemental power as it passed through each—at least, until it reached her heart and the gate within it. The energy ignited within Yoon, blazing as her body briefly became one with the Plane of Fire itself. Yoon’s eyes danced with embers as she set them on her target, thrusting her fist forward in a practiced stance and letting her breath out with a shout.

Pathfinder Harrow Deck

Step In for A Harrowing

Harrow is a tarot-like deck usable in everyday life or in any roleplaying game. Regardless of where you use it, use it with care. A harrow deck is loaded with power, so you must learn to read the cards correctly or else suffer an ignominious fate. The most important thing is to treat your harrow deck with respect. Disrespect the deck, and the deck will disrespect you. That way surely leads to ruin. You don’t want ruin, do you? You want to know how to read these cards.

A Long Buried History…

Millennia ago, dwarves completed their Quest for Sky, a legendary migration from their subterranean homeland to the surface. Their exodus nearly failed, but during the journey a hero arose to lead them—a young dwarf named Taargick. Time and again Taargick proved his bravery, resourcefulness, and political skill, inspiring his people to endure when all seemed lost. In honor of his great leadership, his followers named him ruler of the new kingdom they would found in his name: Tar Taargadth.

Reports from the Field: Starfinder Second Edition Playtests

Welcome to one of our first blogs following up on the recent announcement of Starfinder Second Edition! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Thurston Hillman, the Managing Creative Director for Starfinder. Basically, that means that I guide the creative vision for the Starfinder brand, while also managing the great folks who work on the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. Today, as we continue our open playtest experience, I wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at some of the internal playtesting we’ve been doing here at Paizo!

Pathfinder Lost Omens: Highhelm

Digging Up Some Highhelm Authors!

Though Lost Omens Highhelm has been out for some time now, we wanted to take one last look at the book and the authors who made it possible. Dwarves are known for their fine crafts and the work these authors put into Highhelm would make any dwarf proud to display this book next to their finest blades and armor. As these authors share a bit about them and their work, consider letting them know if you like their work in the comments or following them on social media!

August 2023 Organized Play Monthly Update

Congratulations on surviving Gen Con, players! I’m assuming, anyway. Like the June update, I’m writing this before Gen Con even begins. What did you think of those new announcements? That Starfinder Second Edition sounds pretty cool! [note to future self: remove this if we don’t announce it so I don’t blow the surprise]
