As with the past two years, there will likely be a big holiday sale. I really recommend you take advantage of it this years. PF1 is very unlikely to see any sales directed at it specifically, because it's a product that is now almost 7 years out of print.

And in fact there is a poster map folio full of poster size maps of Absalom.

Very very loosely, but yeah

I mean Stormcrown dragons are definitely referenced in Monster Core 2, so they are definitely using the name.

Wait which AP has that? The only reference to Stormcrown I'm seeing is in the girtablilu entry of Monster Core 2 (but does line up with this since its listed among other desert threats)

Yeah Magnimar is the best bet for most higher level buying and selling, and there are regular caravans from Sandpoint to Magnimar and back for that very purpose. So PCs could give the stuff they want to sell to the caravan with a shopping list and get the money and new gear 2ish days after

(Apologies about this not being prompt)

Ladies, Gentlemen, and everything in-between and outside of those:

I AM DONE!

The Wrath of the Righteous Conversion guide is now (95%) finished! I am just waiting on Monster Core 2 to release so I can finish up with a couple creatures here and there.

I privately started this project on…apparently September 19th of last year, and have been working on it pretty-much-weekly throughout that year. And now, I am DONE!

This past year has been…a lot. I got perma-banned off Reddit for spam for responding to personals ads (something I find absurd, but that’s beside the point). Then, to add insult to injury, I met the love of my life. I also got a full-time job, got a house, got in a car crash, and am about to get married in a month-and-a-half.

I’m normally a forever-GM, and I knew that this particular project would take A WHILE, so I actually asked one of my players to take over as GM for the next campaign just to give me some breathing room for starting to work full-time while also working on this. And, well…man, I could NOT have predicted the absolute chaos (good and bad) that this year would’ve been to REALLY justify me needing to take a step back from the stress of GMing.

I had NO idea that this project would take this long. Hell, my last one (Hell’s Rebels) I explicitly remember only taking me 6 months (though that’s largely because I’d already been doing it in play-by-post and just needed to actually write it all down), but still. This project was just…SO MUCH WORK. I really went in over my head, because I didn’t realize just how many statblocks I would need to make—which makes sense, we have a severe lack of pre-built mythic creatures.

Anyway, I…need to be real with a lot of you. This has been hard. Like, REALLY hard. And while a LOT of amazing things have happened to me this year, I also need to be honest: I don’t have the same amount of time that I used to. I have a house, a fiancée, two amazing future-stepchildren, and a...

I know you settled on the weak adamantine dragons for Threshold, but if I might suggest that the Elite Host Dragon in Alien Core might actually be a better fit.

There is no errata yet, errata for all products are done in a twice yearly pass, and we're waiting on the Fall 2026 pass now. But as the book just released I wouldn't expect errata this fast.

Please don't use the term phylactery, Paizo moved to the term soul cage for a very specific reason.

So WHEN?

I have 2 bundles of books for over 400 bucks on hold now because your current credit card processor denies ALL 3 cards that I tried and I verified with my bank (where I also work at) that the problem is not on MY end but your provider is the problem (the card I used for years with Paizo and other companies successfully is suddenly not good enough anymore for your CC provider). I have been fighting for getting the payments through for weeks now, but your support team cannot tell me why payments do not work, but apparently your CC provider cannot tell what the problem is. Get rid of that one, it's not helpful, get a provider that can tell you WHY, when declining CCs.

I really want my bundles (and more will queue up, I am subscribed to 6 paths), so urgently need you to switch to the new stuff so I can go with whichever payment options/providers you have in there.

Has there been an announcement of when the conversion from the current store to the new store will happen?

Not yet. Once we have completed successful testing we'll let everyone know. There likely will not be a lot of time between the time we do that, and the time the store goes live. I expect Paizo.com would go dark on "a Monday" and then come back on Wednesday, but we're still verifying that process.

Just want to say I am craving some adventures where the PCs play the opposite of the usual side. Playing the same point of view gets samey.

And I really like the idea of pirate hunter, Thrune agent, and evil god worshipping PCs lol

There is Prey For Death and one of the adventures in Claws of the Tyrant

Because this isn't a remastered book? Its similar but not the same as Bestiary 2. The ones that maintain the same name are the same book, the ones that don't are not.

If you're referring to D&D Beyond, they do. It's Demiplane. There's also HeroLab and Pathbuilder.

They are still doing testing. There is no date yet, but Jim Butler said the site would likely go dark on a Monday and come back on that Wednesday. I would hazard a guess they would avoid a new release week, so that means probably the 13th is the earliest we could expect it to happen

Will we be getting statistics for the Sheidron Medallion and Runewells in this book?

Medallion and Ring yes, Runewell, not in this volume

It's very literally the first thing that happens in the Adventure.

There will probably be posts in the forums about which are replacements, just like there was about the Horned Dragon. But putting it into the text of the book isn't going to happen.

They already confirmed that. Though they won't always be so easy to identify.

Can't they just have a small table as follow?

BLACK -> [new name]
BLUE -> [new name]
BRASS -> [new name]
BRONZE -> [new name]
COOPER -> [new name]
GOLD -> [new name]
GREEN -> [new name]
SILVER -> [new name]
RED -> [new name]
WHITE -> [new name]

That's all I need, really.

They can't because that would require using the OGL terms for these dragons, which is the exact thing they're getting away from.

It's time to ask the real questions. Like is there going to be a Vancaskerkin in this one?

From the office of Expectation Management:

** spoiler omitted **

Yeah I mean the seeds were set for her path to redemption in Wrath of the Righteous, and expanded upon in Book of the Damned, Planar Adventures, Hell's Rebels, and Return of the Runelords before being fully developed in Tyrant's Grasp and Second Edition. She's not denying that her past existed, but rather trying to atone and move on from that past, and one way to do that is to tell people to take her as she is now, rather than as she was then. Its just as much an effort in breaking from her old followers as it is anything else.

Well good news, they're in the process of rolling out a new site.

The VA for this sounds exactly like how I'd expected Xanderghul to sound!

I'm excited to bring my player group into this one after we finish all the 1st Ed adventures we want to do. They've reminded me, "There's more to Golarion than Varisia," but I still want to watch them hit him in his smug face again.

Paizo has given us characters with the "Paizo Punchable Face TM TM TM do not steal" for years now, but this is the first time we've gotten "Paizo Punchable Voice TM TM TM do not steal".

Gonna kick this off with a question. Presumably there are three groups of level 17+ characters in the area, any fun ideas on what to do with them? My first thought was that

Man Paizo just can't win with some of you. For the last *decade* people have complained about the store. They're finally fixing it, but not in the way you want.

So today is a most glorious day, my order shipped and I have my PDF downloaded.

I am at work so not able to really answer questions till later this evening. But taking a quick look.
There are Runelords in the toolbox.

What Runelords?

So Prince Maleus, what new critters are in the toolbox?

Glad to see they have indeed started going out. Back to pressing F5 on my email.

Could this also maybe have the siege engines? I would love art for the Corrupted Polyp for Wrath of the Righteous reasons

But the thing is, when someone tells you they're reading and having internal discussions about it, you still don't believe them.

Has anyone said that? If so, please link it so I can decide how much I actually believe it. If not, why bring it up?

Yup, people *have* said that.

Sorry Mr. Jacobs but seeing is believing and this was just posted.

https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo71fj6?September-2025-Organized-Pla y-Monthly-Update

The opinion is practically one sided on the PFS2 changes, but we are being ignored. Its worse they read, no one could be bothered to respond, and ignore feedback to continue unaltered. Not even acknowledging there has been feedback.

This is getting absurd.

But the thing is, when someone tells you they're reading and having internal discussions about it, you still don't believe them. Things like this take time to adjust, and make sure they address things the way that work best for everyone. As James asked, just have a little bit of patience.

Dead God's Hand also suffered from scope increase due to the writer turning in a lot more pages than was asked for. James Jacobs said that in most cases once you hit 5-6 levels of play that's where it becomes AP rather than Adventure.

Most bigger cities have refuse eating monsters in their sewers. Used to be otyughs before the OGL, and now ofalths.

They're not taking away the discount? And have said that they'll take into account the last year's worth of purchases when the roll over happened. If you had enough for that discount, you've spent enough for the higher tier rewards.

It does! It has a nice set of green dice to go with the Frog adventure

Also worth pointing out that the release schedule is showing when things are expected to start shipping for subscribers and preorders, while the individual product page will have the street date of the book. But yeah, Paizo isn't in charge of the Demiplane releases, that's on Demiplane. The PDF on the Paizo site, is available to purchase, which means it did go live as expected today.

You don't get the PDFs, but you do get journals that recreate the PDFs in a Foundry format.

They will be doing more compilations but not sure that all of them will get them. Season of Ghosts is the next one announced for early next year

I mean it's an option for the monthly APs, so I expect it still will be for the hardcovers

Out of curiosity, will the AP volumes continue to be numbered?

The product page for Hellbreakers still lists it as 222, so seems to be

Will adventure path subscriptions still include a free pdf? I have never subscribed to a hard cover book line at Paizo so am hoping someone who is more knowledgeable can inform me know. The quarterly subscription model might also give folks more time to subscribe or unsubscribe. However, that will only be the case if adventure release dates are relatively consistent.

Yes the hardcover product lines still offer free pdfs

Yeah its going to be more expensive to buy just the module, because they still have to put money towards the people that actually wrote the adventure. The options are a discount in the way of the price of the PDF if you own it, or a slightly cheaper version without the PDF at all if you want to buy it direct from Foundry. If you don't have or want the PDF, that's the only option.

Are they going to keep the Adventure Path branding, I wonder? I mean, if they are releasing APs in a single volume then they are functionally similar to, if longer than, the Pathfinder Adventures line of modules.

They're still going to be Adventure Paths, and longer than the standalone adventures.

They very specifically said its not the single auther AP, and it's not an AP at all, its a stand-alone adventure.

VTT only is only available through the Foundry store. Through the Paizo store you either need to own the PDF to get the Code version, or you need to buy the version that includes the PDF

Mythspeaker: Sing to me, oh muse, of the
man of twists and turns...

Dawn of Frogs: Hello, little green friend!

Starfinder GM Core: If your players are having fun, you’re a great GM.

Likewise, but the File by chapter version works fine.

Shipping of the print products begins this week.

The asset pack version did not do nearly as well as the full version, and the decision was made to not do that going forward because maintaining double the modules for minimal return on investment was not worth it

So an artifact from first edition resurfaces in Claws of the Tyrant, but is notably weaker, is there a reason for this?
