I really appreciate all the help. Thank you. :D


There was a whole page I looked at a while back about the remaster program.

https://resources.demiplane.com/nexus/pathfinder/general/remaster-program

I'm just not certain if I'll get it, as I already owned the rulebook before this went up. So I'm not sure if I need to do anything extra, or if it will automatically be added to my account when it releases.

Note that a new Remastered version of PF2 will come soon with some significant changes (like a big list of errata and much renaming and some cool new things). And the Remaster Core Player book will include a PC-level description of the setting IIRC.

As The Raven Black said, the new Pathfinder guide for gamemasters will be available on November 15, either as a PDF for $20, or in hardcover.

GM Core

Although all the information is available for free on Archives of Nethys, I personally find it much easier to understand ideas and concepts when I read through them as a whole chapter, rather than bits and pieces on separate web pages.

Same goes for the new Player Core rulebook, also available on November 15.
Player Core

Those two books will answer almost all of the questions you asked. The Player Core will have a basic overview of the setting, and if you need more details, grab the Lost Omens World Guide.

Thank you both! I actually own the core rulebook on Demiplane, so I should get the Player Core for free when it releases, if I understand that right. I'll need to buy the GM Core and the World Guide next.

I made the mistake of buying the Lost Omens Travel Guide. While it's neat, I was disappointed with the actual amount of usable information in it.
Still cool to have in my collection, though.

Hi, I'm new to GMing and I'm trying to find a reference of both core game concepts and world lore that GMs in the community would consider the essential foundation of knowledge for a GM to know.
Stuff that would be important most of the time.
Things like how to quickly throw together an NPC's stats if I don't have any pre-made, or what some of the most notable (in-world) locations and events are. The type that most people in the setting would find as common knowledge.

Pre-made reference materials or lists would be appreciated, but I'm also fine with book recommendations and page numbers of important information.

Thanks in advance!


Oh. Apologies for the double post, but I also had a question I wanted to ask.

I noticed that a lot of emphasis for Dwimmerstone is based on the schools of spells. With the upcoming remaster removing magic schools, how do you recommend handling that with the Dwimmerstones?


Hey! I just stumbled across your adventure on itch.io and I've been reading through it. It looks so well done!

I love the world you've built, it feels really compelling and I love the aesthetics of it. My party is currently playing through the Abomination Vaults, and while they seem to be enjoying it, I as the GM am starting to get a little board with it due to my own personal inability to really get into the characters. The majority of which feel a little flat and don't spark my inspiration.

All of the character descriptions you have in this adventure are clicking with my brain in a way that sparks way more ideas and interest than Abom Vaults.

This is all personal opinion, and is probably highly influenced by the fact that I'm new to GMing and find the scope and layout of the Abom Vaults AP to be daunting and hard to wrap my head around. (Too many over arching details that span multiple floors and the requirement of reading and prepping at least three floors at a time just in case players happen to take a random staircase taxes my brain. Again, personal preferences and my own limited abilities.)

The way you have this adventure laid out is way closer to what I was looking for as an adventure that's easy to digest and run as an inexperienced GM, while also just actually looking more interesting in general. I can't wait to see the rest of this AP!

Thank you a ton for providing this to the community.
