Hi, I’m Andrew White, and I missed the deadline to send in this author bio! I’ve written for a bunch of Paizo books over the years, but this one may have been one of my favorites so far because it provided me with the opportunity to take Galt – a part of Golarion that has fascinated me since the first time I picked up the 1st Edition Inner Sea World Guide – and chart a course for its post-Night-of-the-Gray-Death future. And also to finally make it possible to play a headless ghost PC whose animal companion is their own rotting severed head.

I did a bunch of research on the Reign of Terror and post-revolutionary France (turns out it was full of heroic decapitated ghosts followed around by angry little guys made of knives) for this project, but I want to include a special shoutout to the web novellas “The Perfumer’s Apprentice”, “The Secret of the Rose and Glove”, and “The Seventh Execution” by Kevin Andrew Murphy and Amber E. Scott, all of which provided me with a ton of inspiration by expertly capturing the flavor of this uniquely terrible little corner of Golarion. Vive le Galt!

Hello!

The purpose of this subforum is to serve as a single centralized location for information about our latest releases for Foundry Virtual Tabletop, as well as patch notes and other product updates. In most cases, you can expect a new post whenever we release a batch of new products, but occasionally (such as in the few weeks following a major software update) we'll be posting more frequently.

Please note that this subforum will also make a note of any changes or errata that were made or discovered during the conversion of our content to a Foundry Virtual Tabletop module, some of which may not yet be reflected in the print or PDF versions of the source material. Any and all changes have been suggested and/or vetted by the team responsible for development of that content. In the event of any discrepancy between a Foundry module and a print or PDF version of the same content, the Foundry module should be treated as the latest and most up-to-date resource unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Please note also that the listings of errata and clarifications may contain spoilers, so players may wish to avoid them.

Thank you!

Hello, enjoyers of premium Pathfinder (and now Starfinder!) content on Foundry VTT!

As many of you are likely aware, the latest Foundry VTT stable release (v11) finally dropped on June 1, 2023. Exciting! However, whenever a new Foundry version releases, please be aware that the Pathfinder and Starfinder systems, as well as all of the premium content modules Paizo has produced for Foundry VTT, will by necessity take some time to update before they fully support the new version. For this reason, if you use the Pathfinder or Starfinder Foundry VTT systems or any of Paizo's premium Foundry modules, we strongly recommend that you wait to upgrade your Foundry install until everything has been properly updated.

Here's a handy guide you can use to guide your upgrade decisions, which we'll keep updated for this release as well as all releases going forward:

Current Foundry VTT software release: 11
Pathfinder 2e system updated? YES
Starfinder system updated? YES
Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path updated? YES
Blood Lords Adventure Path updated? YES
Gatewalkers Adventure Path updated? YES
Stolen Fate Adventure Path updated? YES
Paizo Premium Adventure Path collections (Beginner Box, Abomination Vaults) updated? YES
Paizo Premium Accessories (Pathfinder Token Pack, Harrow Deck) updated? YES
Paizo Premium Organized Play Asset Packs updated? YES
Paizo Premium Pathfinder Bounties updated? YES

We realize that the delay in getting everything updated can be frustrating, but we assure you that they're all being worked on and will be released as soon as possible.

When we launched the Blood Lords Adventure Path on Foundry VTT in August, we also made some changes to the pricing model that we intended to use for that and future Foundry VTT module releases (changes you can read about here), which established a base price for the module + PDF bundle at $34.99 while providing a discount for PDF owners equal to the price of the PDF. At the time, we elected not to raise the prices of the previous Adventure Path, Outlaws of Alkenstar, while noting that we would probably be doing so at some point in the future.

With the perspective that a couple of months can provide, we're now feeling good enough about these prices that we're ready to make them standard across all of our Foundry VTT Adventure Path releases. Therefore, on Monday, October 17th, we'll be adjusting the prices of the existing Outlaws of Alkenstar adventure modules to match our new pricing model, which will result in a $10 price increase for the module + PDF bundle and a $9 increase for PDF owners.

The prices will remain where they are until then, however, so if you haven't experienced Outlaws of Alkenstar on Foundry VTT yet, and want to take advantage of this last opportunity to snap up these modules at their low original price, you've got 10 more days to do it! (And you should, they're pretty great.)

Pathfinder Adventure Path #178: Punks in a Powderkeg (Outlaws of Alkenstar 1 of 3) - Foundry VTT
Pathfinder Adventure Path #179: Cradle of Quartz (Outlaws of Alkenstar 2 of 3) - Foundry VTT
Pathfinder Adventure Path #180: The Smoking Gun (Outlaws of Alkenstar 3 of 3) - Foundry VTT

Thank you for your continued interest in Paizo's premium modules for Foundry VTT!

Just a heads up: Field of Maidens requires Foundry v10 to function. In addition, all of our other premium Adventure Path modules have now been updated to support Foundry v10. If you have not yet upgraded your Foundry installation to v10, you should not upgrade any existing Paizo Adventure Path modules at this time. If you upgrade by mistake, you can find manifest links to older v9-compatible versions at the bottom of each module's product page on https://foundryvtt.com. Thanks, and we hope you enjoy the latest volume of the Blood Lords Adventure Path on Foundry VTT!

As many of you are already aware, the long-awaited Foundry version 10 stable release will be dropping today (August 31, 2022). Exciting! However, please be aware that the premium content modules Paizo has produced for Foundry, including the Pathfinder Beginner Box, Abomination Vaults, Outlaws of Alkenstar, and Blood Lords, have not yet been updated to support v10, and will almost certainly suffer from major compatibility issues. At this point, we strongly recommend that users of the Paizo premium modules refrain from updating to Foundry v10 until the modules can be updated to take advantage of all the new features in the new version, including the new journal entry system. It is our expectation at this time that all premium content modules will be fully compatible with v10 before the end of September.

TL;DR: Updating to today's Foundry v10 stable release will likely break any Paizo premium content modules you have installed. Please wait to upgrade if you currently rely on them.

First of all, we’d like to thank everyone for all of the feedback you’ve provided on the Adventure Path modules for Foundry VTT that we’ve released so far. This is fairly new territory for Paizo, so we really appreciate your assistance in figuring out what works and what doesn’t as we move forward.

In retrospect, our recent round of price changes for our AP modules is one for the “doesn’t work” column. While an increase to the base price of the modules was necessary in order to maintain the level of quality that has been so well received with our first few releases, our attempt to simplify the pricing model has had some unforeseen side effects; namely, the fact that purchasing the PDF before the module would result in a higher total cost than buying the module and receiving the PDF as a bonus. We’ve also heard some concerns about the unintended effects for subscribers of reducing the discount for PDF ownership to a flat $10 instead of basing it on the price of the PDF. As a result, we’ve decided to make the following changes, coinciding with the upcoming 8/31/2022 release of Blood Lords Volume 2: Graveclaw.

  • If you purchased the PDF of Blood Lords Volume 1: Zombie Feast before the Foundry VTT module became available … that is, between 7/27 and 8/04 … and then purchased the Foundry VTT module when it became available at its discounted price for PDF owners, you paid a total of $8.99 more than you would have if you had purchased the Foundry VTT module and received the PDF automatically. We intend to address this issue by offering $8.99 in store credit to anyone who both purchased the Zombie Feast PDF for $18.99 before 8/04/22 and purchased the Zombie Feast FoundryVTT module for $19.99 before 8/31/22. Please be aware that our CS department is currently dealing with a large backlog of support tickets and may not be able to apply this credit right away, but we will do what we can to ensure that it is applied as soon as possible.

  • Beginning with Blood Lords Volume 2: Graveclaw, releasing on 8/31/2022, we will be re-adjusting our price points in order to base the discount for PDF owners on the price of the PDF itself. The base price of the Foundry VTT module, which will continue to include the PDF of the same content, will change to $34.99. Users who already own the PDF will be able to purchase the Foundry VTT module by itself at a discount equal to the price of the PDF, which for Blood Lords Volume 2: Graveclaw will bring it to a total of $16.00.

  • We will also be retroactively adjusting the prices of Blood Lords Volume 1: Zombie Feast to match this model on 8/31/2022. Until then, both the Foundry VTT module + PDF bundle and the Foundry VTT code will continue to be offered at their current price points.

    Thanks again for your patience and assistance as we work out these details, and we look forward to continuing to work with Foundry, Sigil, and the community to make these modules as awesome as they possibly can be for what will hopefully be many Adventure Paths to come.
