LOVE the flavour of this class. Love the vitality network ability. It seems super useful and flavourful.

I agree with most people in that Rhythm being primal seems a bit odd. I get what the idea behind it is but it doesn't seem to fit the primal theme.

Any chance we could have the review removed of the individual who stated they did not even buy the product? :)

Yeah is it possible to ban a user who constantly leaves trolling reviews?

I love the Glass Cannon Network. They do podcasts and Twitch.

Great cast chemistry, great story-telling and super polished production. Highly recommend checking them out! Their Blood of the Wild podcast is amazing.

They are launching a playthrough of Gatewalkers on Sept 14th, so looking forward to that!

First one looks HAWT but also war-like. Maybe this is the Warlord or Battle Commander type class?

Second one looks like they are carrying a lot of stuff..thats all I can glean! Can't wait to see the full art on the 31st!

Woah, $60 per book, and you need at least THREE of them!?

$180 is a BIG ASK for the bare basics you need to play the dang game.

All the rules are available for free on Archives of Nethys! So you really don't need to spend any money. $60 for a beautifully illustrated hardcover book is perfectly reasonable I think!

So strange these APs are getting review bombed

A single 3-star review is hardly what I would call 'review bombing.'

You're right! The previous volume also had some low reviews with no comments, so I was worried it was a trend! I find that reviews with no information about why they made that assessment is really not useful

The new cover art does really convey this AP is about cards. Too bad there's no large version yet. Which iconics are in this one?

Odd how there's cover art for this one but not the first part

Are those Formians?

Xiomorns.

Do we have xiomorns in 2E yet? I always thought they were super cool.

Anyone know of any Pathfinder adventures that have a similar feel to the Mines of Moria section of LOTR?

Something that explores underground ruins and has a lot of history to it and mysterious reasons for being abandoned or things like that?

Thanks!

Coming back to this thread to say that I'd love for some of the hero-gods to officially come over into 2e; while it's easy enough to homebrew, Book of the Dead being imminent has me wanting to make a character devoted to Chinostes, who I adore.

2e has been really good about making real-world inspired reasons feel more distinct than just a pop culture coat of paint; the Mwangi Expanse is clearly leaning on West Africa, but so much of it is original fantasy. We've seen a pretty classic (and relatively shallow) take on Greek myth via 5e's Theros adaptation - but Iblydos isn't in a Classical setting, and has super unique neighbors to deal with.

Rules for becoming a hero-god (since we know other regions of Golarion have them) would be a blast, too. It might make for a nice angle on 2e Mythic stuff, or perhaps offer a slightly lower-powered alternative.

EDIT: Do we know where Iblydos is on this map?

I agree with all of this! Would love to see the return of the hero gods. Weren't Hero-gods also present in Arcadia?

I think Iblydos is the islands below that big desert in Casmaron

Surprised this cover hasn't been updated on the website since they were showing off that sweet art on their Facebook and Instragram.

Try clicking on the cover picture.. might be surprised by what you see

Wow! I was surprised! I think I know who that is! This book looks amazing

Can you please tell me if the book will contain something useful for the players? (heritages, bloodlines, archetypes or something similar)

I like to think of the Rulebooks as 80% rules / 20% lore and the Lost Omens books as 80% lore / 20% rules. That said, players will find PACTBOUND INITIATE, a new archetype, Spear of the Destroyer’s Flame, and item, MOSQUITO WITCH (RARE WITCH PATRON), and much more. As a GM I would want to control access to the content to be honest.

OMG Mosquito witch patron??? So stoked. I ran the Mosquito Witch as my first PF 2E adventure and my players loved it so I can't wait for more lore.

All these people saying "I'm cancelling all my subscriptions"

I get that we don't want to support the upper leadership of Paizo but there are so many talented and amazing people working for Paizo, the writers and game designers, customer service people, artists etc.

If we cancel Paizo as a whole and stop buying their products, we also make the jobs of the good people more precarious. Not everyone is able of having a Patreon full of content we can support. Paizo as a company provides opportunities to a lot of people. I'm hoping that the company can make a big change because they have done a lot of good in the gaming industry just by being so inclusive with the products they make, if not the company environment itself.

I'm getting Blades in the Dark vibes from this! Can't wait!

Omg this cover is amazing.

One of the books in the Agents of Edgewatch AP has a great map and overview of Vudra. I'd love to learn about the rest of Casmaron!

After reading the Lost Omens Mwangi Expanse I am even MORE excited for this AP to start! Looking forward to that cover update too.

I think they started calling them "guardian", "scientist" etc rather than giving them actual classes in PF 2e. I've noticed that in other Lost Omens books too.

1) Lost Omens: Arcadia
2) Lost Omens: Casmaron
3) Lost Omens: Garund
4) Something that brings back the Occultist and Medium

First of all, I've spent the last 48 hours devouring all of Valiant and LOVING IT! Loving all the lore and the story-telling is EXCELLENT.

My questions are as follows:
1. When are you writing a full book about Arcadia? :D
2. More specifically trying to place Altameda on Arcadia--is it on the other side of Lake Titipalati (sp?) from Xopatl?
3. Loving what we've seen of Arcadia so far with Way of Kings and Borne of the Sun's Grace. Any hints about what is going on south of Xopatl? I may have missed references to countries in that area.

Thanks so much for all you do!

Omg finally the Grey Gardeners!!! So excited!

Super excited for this AP, reading over all the adventure titles again!!

I love the concept of this adventure path and love that it's set in a totally non-Euro setting.

One thing I have been feeling about PF2 Adventure Paths so far (aside from Age of Ashes) is that they are very specific in their scope ("you are a circus performer", "you are a cop", "you're a Wizard, Harry") and don't leave a lot of room for players who aren't interested in that concept. I've been trying to find an AP to run on Roll20 for 2E and my players just want a sort of straight fantasy adventure save the world AP, which I haven't seen yet.
Perhaps this one will be that in the end! Time will tell!

Okay I haven't read the whole book yet but I just wanted to say that I LOVE the article on Ravithra! It really read like a real world myth. She seems like a very cool and complex deity, not just goddess of nagas. Great work

Any news on the Charactermancer for 2e?

YAS! Can't wait

So is this like an audiobook of the adventure or is it like a digital gm running the adventure for you?

casual look at the new witch class looks amazing and LOVING the 9-tailed familiar!

I've just read through the Fires of the Haunted City book and while I love the book and Saggorak and Kovlar are very cool and well fleshed out, I found that at the beginning of the book, it just assumes that the players are going to use the Jewelgate, but unlike the previous books there is no real impetus for them to do so. Is there something I missed?

Wow love everything about this cover! Somehow the serpentfolk look so much cooler and creepier than before!

So if I have the Pathfinder Advantage (from having four subscriptions) does that mean I get this subscription for free? And if so, how do I access the scenarios, I don't see them in my downloadable content.
Thanks!

Just got my 2E stuff--LOVE THIS BOOK! Love the new layout, love the toolkit, love the adventure, the NPCs...etc makes me so excited to see what is coming next! Well done Paizo!

Loving all these updates! Really enjoying that not all the canon AP endings are the PCs killing the BBEG. Its neat to see the setting evolving! I've been looking forward to these updates each week! Can't wait until the book's release in August!

Is that Sarkorian flag intentionally Haida-esque? It looks great! Really interested to learn more about Sarkorians! So far this book looks amazing. Can it be August already?

As of Return of the Runelords, Nocticula is a full-on CN deity.

Will we get the details how this came about? Is that also set for Tyrants Grasp?

I for one will be keeping all my Pathfinder subscriptions. I know there are some issues with the 2E rules but overall I think that they are making it more accessible for everyone.

I recently starting DMing Pathfinder 1e for the first time and teaching it to my players and it is complicated! Pathfinder 1 is not an easy system to learn and master. I can see how 2e is an effort to make it more accessible.

More than just the rules, Paizo has been providing amazing writing and stories that I've been reading for 10 years so I'll 100% stay with Paizo because I'm invested in their world and I want to know more.

So I hope that Paizo takes my money for years to come :P

YAS! Finally a map of Thassilon! Also, resurrected Demon Lords!? This looks insane. Also looove the Oliphaunt! Can't wait for this.

So I'm thinking of running the STAP in Eberron and I've read on some other threads that Iggwilv could be seen as Sora Kell in Eberron. I was wondering if anyone had done this and how this change would effect the game. Sora Kell is by all accounts a night hag, who bore the three hags that now rule Droaam. Iggwilv is a human. Is there anyway to change her into nighthag while still maintaining her wizarding powers?
Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated
