Introducing the Fists of the Ruby Phoenix Player’s Guide

Monday, April 12, 2021

The powerful sorcerer Hao Jin has returned to the Material Plane to preside as grand judge over her world-famous fighting competition, the Ruby Phoenix Tournament. Contenders from around Golarion flock to the tournament to compete for a prize from Hao Jin’s legendary treasure vault. Does your team have what it takes to become this year’s Ruby Phoenix Champions?

Good to have some free PF2e stuff for this latest iteration of the Ruby Phoenix Tourney. ;)

Guide looks awesome, but it does not have a product spot on its AP page.

Adventure Path landing pages are getting un upgrade as you can see from the Abomination Vaults page.

We decided it was best to link to the free PDF directly and remove the friction of needing an account to get a watermarked PDF. We want Player's Guides to be accessible. The Fists of the Ruby Pheonix Player's Guide will have a long term, easily discoverable home as a button in the header when the new page goes live prior to launch.

<3 Player's Guides not needing an account!

Any hope for Foundry?

It looks like the player's guides aren't catalog items to add to our downloads list anymore. That's a little bit of a back-slide in usability. (I appreciate the option to download without, but it's nice to have things together in the downloads page too.) Any thoughts?

I noticed that too. It makes it easier to grab in the moment, downloading from these blog posts is faster than downloading from the downloads page, but it is a little bit of a headache when you're trying to find all your materials related to the AP.

On the balance I like this method better, though. It's also easier to send out to any prospective players. Throw up the link and let them download the guide themselves, rather than having to download the guide, load it to a file sharing site, and then give it out that way. I suppose having everyone make Paizo accounts to get the guide in their downloads page was also an option but it was likewise clunky.
