"In Search of Sanity" is available now in hobby game and bookstores worldwide, and on paizo.com (MSRP $24.99).</p>
<p>In a distant land polluted by an alien menace from beyond the stars, a great cancer grows within the earth. As its tendrils reach out through the dreams of those who learn and study its existence, a sinister cult grows more active in preparing the way for devastation that will destroy more than the minds of would-be heroes. The Strange Aeons Adventure Path begins with "In Search of Sanity," a mind-shattering foray into horror where the heroes awaken within the walls of the eerie Briarstone Asylum, their minds wracked and memories missing. Working together to recover their missing time, they soon learn that their amnesia is but a symptom of a much greater cosmic menace. As they struggle to retain their sanity, the heroes must ally with other asylum residents and fight against the monstrosities that have taken over the building and plunged it into nightmare.</p>
<p>"I'm a big fan of weird horror, and Strange Aeons is a fully Lovecraftian cosmic horror campaign," says Adam Daigle, Pathfinder RPG developer. "Getting to play with those particular toys, to saturate an entire Adventure Path with horrific monsters, peculiar storylines, and with the strangest start to a Pathfinder Adventure Path to date, Strange Aeons is an exciting addition to the world of Pathfinder."</p>
<p>The Strange Aeons Adventure Path includes six monthly, 96-page, full-color softcover books. Each volume contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Volume one, "In Search of Sanity" includes:</p>
<ul><li>"In Search of Sanity," a Pathfinder adventure for 1st-level characters by F. Wesley Schneider.</li>
<li>A double-sized article that peers into the dangerous realm of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods who make up the Elder Mythos by James Jacobs.</li>
<li>A dollmaker's macabre secret in the Pathfinder's Journal by Jason Keeley.</li>
<li>A collection of weird and frightful new monsters by Eric Hindley, James Jacobs, Jenny Jarzabski, and F. Wesley Schneider.</li></ul>

<p><em>We B4 Goblins</em> is a Pathfinder RPG adventure for up to four goblin characters just beginning their careers of mischief and mayhem. The module is sanctioned for use in the Pathfinder Society organized play program with sanctioning rules, pre-generated goblin characters, and special chronicle sheets available on paizo.com.

<p>As whelps of the Licktoad tribe just out of their swaddling cages, the goblins Chuffy, Mogmurch, Poog, and Reta must prove themselves by undergoing a series of challenges, from tying a string to a large spider and shouting insults with hot rocks in their mouths, to facing off against a goblin bully and his dimwitted minions. As a final test of their mettle, they must make a dangerous and smelly trek to claim a toad from the nearby swamp and present it to the terrifying presence that lurks within the Cave of Darkfear, only after which they can truly call themselves goblins.</p>
<p>The adventure takes place in Brinestump Marsh and the surrounding areas of Varisia in the Pathfinder campaign setting, and serves and a prequel to <a href = "/products/btpy8j5w"><em>We Be Goblins!</em></a>, <a href = "/products/btpy8xc3"><em>We Be Goblins Too!</em></a>, and <a href = "/products/btpy9c20"><em>We Be Goblins Free!</em></a>, Paizo's 2011, 2013, and 2015 Free RPG Day adventures.</p>

The <em>Starfinder Core Rulebook</em> is slated for an August 2017 release.</p>
<p>Set thousands of years in Pathfinder's future, the Starfinder RPG will be a stand-alone science fantasy game evolved from the Pathfinder RPG rules in which players take on the role of a rag-tag starship crew exploring the countless mysteries of a weird universe. Starfinder's offerings will include a new monthly Starfinder Adventure Path product line as well as accessories for players and Game Masters.</p>
<p>"Starfinder is set in the solar system of Pathfinder's home world of Golarion, but far in a possible future—one in which the gods have mysteriously spirited Golarion away to an unknown location, and refuse to answer questions about it," says James L. Sutter, Starfinder's creative director. "In its place, the cultures of that world have evolved and spread throughout the solar system, especially to a vast space platform called Absalom Station. Gifted access to a hyperspace dimension by an ascended AI deity, the residents of the system suddenly find themselves with the ability to travel faster than light, and the race is on to explore and colonize potentially millions of worlds. But there are horrors out there in the darkness."</p>
<p>For a full preview of the Starfinder RPG from creative director James L. Sutter, visit the <a href = "/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5litw">Paizo blog</a>.</p>
<p>The Starfinder line launches at Gen Con 2017 with the release of the 500-page <em>Starfinder Core Rulebook</em>, several player and Game Master accessories, and the inaugural volume of the monthly Starfinder Adventure Path line, which includes epic campaign adventures, new planets to explore, starship and player character options, as well as new monsters and aliens to battle.</p>
<p>Starfinder is also designed to integrate easily with the Pathfinder RPG, allowing players of either game to port over monsters, items, and adventures with a minimal conversion effort.</p>
<p>Starfinder was among a slew of announcements made at this year's <a href = "/paizocon">PaizoCon</a>, the annual gathering of Pathfinder fans held in Seattle. Other releases coming soon to the world of Pathfinder include:</p>
<ul><li><em>Pathfinder RPG: Villain Codex</em> introduces 20 villainous gangs: Brutal Slavers, Corrupt Guards, Demon Knights, Merry Outlaws, Sinister Cults, and more. Each enemy group includes full game statistics for its members, feats, spells, and magic items, and tips for incorporating them into the game, a veritable rogue's gallery of options for busy Game Masters. 256-page hardcover, November 2016.</li>
<li><em>Pathfinder RPG: Encounter Codex</em> provides dozens of vastly customizable encounters giving GMs the settings, foes, and options necessary to run campaign-ready encounters for heroes of level 1 to 20—with no prep. Each encounter uses Pathfinder Flip-Mats and Pawns to create truly immersive game experiences. 256-page hardcover, Spring 2017.</li>
<li>Pathfinder Adventure Path's Ironfang Invasion is a classic fantasy campaign in which heroes explore the unknown and confront the fantastic, all to stop the monstrous hobgoblin Ironfang Legion from wiping out the good people of Nirmathas and Molthune. Players will delve into dungeons, siege well-guarded keeps, explore the wilderness, and battle some of the most iconic creatures from 40 years of roleplaying games. Ironfang Invasion releases February-July 2017.</li>
<li>Curse of the Crimson Throne, one of Paizo's most beloved Adventure Paths, receives an overhaul and full conversion to the Pathfinder RPG in September 2016. The massive 480-page hardcover—the second largest in Paizo's history second only to the <em>Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook</em>—contains expanded adventures including a brand-new mission written by Paizo's creative director James Jacobs that sends the heroes into a perilous dungeon run by the infamous Gray Maidens. The AP will also feature dozens of evocative new illustrations of classic characters, as well as updated rules for monsters, magic items, character options, and more.</li>
<li>The <em>Pathfinder RPG: Core Rulebook</em> and <em>Bestiary</em> will appear as softcover Pocket Editions in August 2016. The books' smaller size and lighter weight make them perfect for convention gaming or easy browsing. Their low price ($24.99 for the <em>Core Rulebook</em>, $19.99 for the <em>Bestiary</em>) make the Pocket Editions perfect for gifts or cost-conscious customers.</li></ul>
<p>In further news, Pathfinder Society, the world's largest tabletop organized play program, announced Season 8 of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Guild, Year of the Stolen Storm, and also the new season of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild, Season of the Goblin. Both will kick off at Gen Con 2016. Pathfinder Society also announced the creation of Pathfinder Society Academy, a new program at introducing roleplaying games to younger players.</p>

<p>There are things that dwell in the dark places of the world, deep beneath the ground, in long-abandoned crypts, or in musty attics; terrible things that can destroy your body and shatter your mind. Few sane individuals would ever think to seek out such nightmares, but those that are drawn into the darkness often find it infecting them, corrupting them in ways both subtle and gross. Some think that those who die facing off against such horrors are the lucky ones, for the survivors are forever scarred by their experiences. <em>Horror Adventures</em> gives you everything you need to bring these nightmares to your game.</p>

Based on Paizo's award winning Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> offers players a fast, approachable introduction to the fantasy world of Pathfinder through the digital medium, resulting in a deeply strategic role-playing inspired co-operative experience while streamlining the setup of the tabletop game.</p>
<p><em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> invites players to build a party of iconic Pathfinder heroes as they tackle the <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> Adventure Path. Each hero draws from their own unique deck of cards representing their powers and abilities using them to overcome obstacles, slay monsters and ultimately defeat the sinister villains of each adventure. Success depends on matching the right champion to the right challenge, pairing your party members' powers together, and playing your cards wisely.</p>
<p>Heroes level up with each adventure, gaining new abilities, and building out their inventory of powerful spells, weapons and companions. No adventure plays the same way twice letting both solo players and multiplayer groups return to <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> again and again for completely new experiences. Obsidian is also dedicated to supporting <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> with the regular release of new adventure decks for purchase that will take the <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> Adventure Path to its climactic final encounter.</p>
<p>"Obsidian has a history of working with deep, richly-textured fantasy worlds, from Star Wars to Fallout.

Based on Paizo's award winning Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> offers players a fast, approachable introduction to the fantasy world of Pathfinder through the digital medium, resulting in a deeply strategic role-playing inspired co-operative experience while streamlining the setup of the tabletop game.</p>
<p><em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> invites players to build a party of iconic Pathfinder heroes as they tackle the <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> Adventure Path. Each hero draws from their own unique deck of cards representing their powers and abilities using them to overcome obstacles, slay monsters and ultimately defeat the sinister villains of each adventure. Success depends on matching the right champion to the right challenge, pairing your party members' powers together, and playing your cards wisely.</p>
<p>Heroes level up with each adventure, gaining new abilities, and building out their inventory of powerful spells, weapons and companions. No adventure plays the same way twice letting both solo players and multiplayer groups return to <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> again and again for completely new experiences. Obsidian is also dedicated to supporting <em>Pathfinder Adventures</em> with the regular release of new adventure decks for purchase that will take the <em>Rise of the Runelords</em> Adventure Path to its climactic final encounter.</p>
