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

I just looked on the Foundry store.

They're charging $114.99 normally ($91.99 during their sale). I assume that doesn't include the PDF just the VTT?

But you have the VTT listed at $70 here so I'm kinda confused.

What if I don't want the PDF? The AP is already in the Foundry module so I don't need the PDFs.


So since there is no add to cart button I assume the "VTT only version" will be available for purchase Sept 27, 2025?


Thanks for the response James.

It seems there are 3 Severe encounters but we skipped 1. Of those 2 we rolled them with our party of 5. We are playing in Foundry so it seems it's calculating the CR from our party of 5 so I will ask the GM to adjust.

From a design perspective, isn't it easier for a GM to just delete a monster than tinker with making an encounter harder by adding monsters? You can't take them away once they're on the map but "backup" can arrive.

Cool. One hopes that the Adventure Path will be a chance to make the Mythic Rules work better with certain classes that they currently don't really attach well to, since the Player Guide doesn't say anything like "don't play a Kineticist or a Magus."

It does, it suggest Recommended and Strongly Recommended classes.

Assume every other class not mentioned is not recommended.

Book 1 theres many chances for crafting. Book 2 I hear there might not be a lot of downtime.

Yeah just learned that last night when we found out

Spoiler:
we're trapped in the prison

Just started Shades of Blood and was hoping one of the designers could chime in with an answer.

I'm playing a Wizard and want to go down the path of Crafting Alchemical and then Magical Items.

Will there be opportunities to do so in this AP?

Well, we’ve seen a few saying just that.

Sure, just change the name. Those magazine were beloved for a reason and still talked about by the older gamers.

Dungeon Magazine belongs to WotC. They ran a digital version of it monthly for all of D&D 4e, then killed it off with 5e.

Paizo's equivalent is the monthly Adventure Path releases, with their magazine-like articles in the back, just like it has been for 15ish years now. They also release Society scenarios monthly.

As the proud owner of all 150 issues of Dungeon Magazine I can honestly say, the Adventure Paths are not the same thing.

As for PFS, sure some folks love it but they don't hold a candle to the adventures that Dungeon Magazine produce both before and after Paizo took over.

Heck, like I said, do it as a digital product. Get other people to write adventures for them and Paizo gets a large cut of sales. They may even discover the next James Jacobs or Erik Mona.

I could be wrong but I'm not sure he means litterly Dungeon magazine but rather the same format.

You are not wrong obviously a meant that format.

I'd have to be an idiot to say "Hey Paizo bring back Dragon magazine!" no?

With the announcement of the anthology book Claws of the Tyrant I'm wondering why not bring back Dungeon Magazine?

Write the adventures in house or by authors outside of Paizo. It's where Paizo started right? Why not go back to that? Was it not successful?

Heck even as a PDF only product I would totally subscribe to that which is how I read all my Pathfinder products.


I noticed there's a Starfinder Second Edition Playtest Deluxe Adventure Pack for Foundry VTT which is great but will there be a physical version of this for table play?


My Abomination Vaults group will be 11th level by the time this AP comes out. Hopefully they defeat Belcorra but the AP mentions a "big bad" they have defeated coming back.

I assume this will be a big bad made specifically for this AP so my question is how does that fit with an existing group or should the players just roll new PCs and take on this AP's "backstory"?

Question is will this NOT be sanctioned for use in Pathfinder Society Organized Play cause you're playing "evil"?

'Any creature that crosses the wall or is occupying the wall's area at the start of its turn takes 1d8 good damage and 1d8 positive damage.'

As I read compatibility erratas, I suppose you should make the following change:
'Any creature that crosses the wall or is occupying the wall's area at the start of its turn takes 1d8 spirit damage if it's unholy and 1d8 vitality damage.'
So PCs would take 1d8 spirit damage only if they were unholy somehow (and 1d8 vitality damage if they would have void healing). If both conditions aren't true there's no damage.

Yes. Spirit damage harms every kind of PC that exists. Nothing about the Holy or Unholy traits changes that.
Yes, but good/evil replacements to spirit are always conditional as far as I see.

Wow it seems ALL of PF2e reddit hasn't read the Errata either and Foundry hasn't updated that either.

Thanks man.


We've updated to the Remaster and the whole Vitality, Spirit, Holy, no more Alignments etc is causing some confusion.

Our Cleric likes to use the Wall of Virtue spell and we didn't know if it would harm the PCs if the jumped through it.

Does it?

Another Sandbox Campaign I'm tired of the rail roads.

Especially don't want another AP where your party is trying to fullfil an NPCs quest!

Has anyone heard, or can someone at Paizo say, whether there is a sandbox style Adventure Path in the works?

Isnt it also kind of meta gamey to assume every lvl monster doesn't have AoO , but since a fighter does have it from lvl 1 there is still alot of lvl 1 monsters that has it aswell actually most fighter based creatures or classes has it..I think your players are misinformed or you told them this and ..well :)

Actually there isn't a lot of monsters that have it.

According to AoN 428 Creatures out of 2604 monsters have Attack of Opportunity which amounts to 16.5% of all monsters.

Assuming they all have an Attack of Opportunity would waste valuable Actions with Stepping and be worse off for the PCs.

If an AoO does trigger then you know for the rest of that combat to be careful but being careful constantly without knowing if there's an AoO is poor tactics.
