Pathfinder Player Core Special Edition

Announced for November! Product image and description are NOT final and may be subject to change.

Marketing has seen the final special edition cover, and we are so excited to show it to you!

I would be ecstatic if this were available as a Special Pocket Edition, truly!

No plans for that, but thanks.

We revealed the final cover on socials today. We will update this product page image soon.

Hmmm I think the normal one looks more epic, so I stay with that one

Ooo, I love it.

Sorry If missed this elsewhere, but if I'm a rulebook subscriber, and would like the special edition (with PDF) as opposed to the standard version, what would be the appropriate way for me to achieve that?

Send an email to Paizo customer service

customer.service@paizo.com

Explain clearly what changes you want to make to your subscriptions, and they will be able to do that, if it is possible. If it isn't, they'll explain your other options.

Since there are in fact two separate rulebook subscriptions (one for regular edition hardbacks, the other for special edition), you can do half of the process yourself, but I would guess that you would want to wait until Paizo has done their part.

So part 1 would be to simply cancel your standard rulebook subscription by sending an e-mail to customer.service@paizo.com as Dancing Wind suggested. Mention in your e-mail that you are canceling that subscription because you want the special edition subscription instead.

If they don't start up your special edition subscription at the same time they cancel your regular rulebook subscription, you can still start the special edition subscription yourself at that point. The place where you originally signed up for the regular rulebook subscription now has two buttons, one for each of the two types of rulebook that they have subscriptions for.

I thought they mentioned somewhere the possibility, specifically for these books considering the three covers, exclusive game store sketch, that they were looking at an easy way to pause or skip the core books. Did we get any update on that?

I thought I had read something about this as well.

They have said they're looking at it. They haven't published anything on it yet. Still got time. :-)

Aaron mentioned in another post that they were hoping to have a new system in place by the Remaster launch, but it doesn't look like that's happening in time. So contacting Customer Service would be your best bet to skip the core books.

His response was in regards to someone asking about how charging would work with 2 books coming out in the same subscription, and potentially needed to approve one while skipping the other. So not the exact same question, but I suspect the same answer.

Correct. Our new system will not be in place for the remaster launch, so please email CS if you need to alter your subscription.

I love that cover! If I wasn't trying to get the WR sketch cover at my FLGS I'd seriously consider getting these covers.

I was going to say, the conceit of that new cover style is *sick as hell*.

Will that be a going theme for SE covers post-Remaster? Or is it just for the Remaster Core books?

The Remaster Core will be similar. There is no Special Edition theme, generally.

Do the Special Edition book versions reprint a page (inside) with the cover image of the regular edition?

Yes, but it is a transparency of it.

(If it is what I think it is, it's the title page, and it's the same as the regular books... but I do not own any PF2 special edition book so I cannot check.)
