Pathfinder Battlecry!

Announced for August! Product images and descriptions are not final and are subject to change. :)

Glorious War!

"You'll also find archetypes that allow you to raise a small battalion of undead soldiers or wield a personal siege weapon"

Ummm excuse me.... archetypes that allow what?!

Looks like Sneak Attack with a ballista is back on the menu!

;)

Curious to see what shape the Inner Sea War takes!

Really loving everything about the new ancestry.

I do find it kind of crazy that in July-August, though, Pathfinder is about to get eight new classes, around 10 new ancestries, some alternates for existing ancestries, and 2 heritages when you combine this release and the Starfinder one.

Any cannon is a hand cannon if you're not a wimp.

I know it’s probably gonna be a while before we know anything more about the commander and guardian iconics, but can’t wait to learn their names and backstories. They look really neat on the cover here and in a bit of art previewed by Polygon.

War... It never changes...

We're going to eat so much we'll practically be Urgathoans. Especially when the Starfinder GM Core comes out and we get ways to more fully combine the tech levels.

This could be really interesting. Will there be an adventure path that will make use of this?

Can anyone at Paizo confirm that the spine is going to be white with the same green font as the core books?

I’ve always loved how beyond the core in premaster the spines were all cool and themed to the book. But it looks like I may be in the minority.

I too love the unique covers beyond the Core books.

I was surprised when War of Immortals was colored the same as the Cores but Howl of the Wild was not.

Makes organization a little tricky.

There was a mention in a Polygon article about this book that included an AP called Hellbreakers

Yep, it's almost like they don't realize what an anal lot we RPGers can be.

Anyone knows how much the PDF would be? Roughly 20$ or roughly 30$.
It might be in reach for me with a Coupon i won recently...

At a glance I’d say $19.99 has been the consistent price for Rulebook PDFs

I'm guessing the orc lady and the jotun guy are the iconic commander and guardian, respectively?

I am looking forward to this!

This needs to be followed by the “Armies of Golarion” book that has been mentioned before. With all these wars going on, shouldn’t every settlement in Golarion get an “army sheet”?

Considering the number of city-states and nations on Golarion, that book would be massive. Better to provide the tools for making an army out of specific parts and applying relevant modifiers.

PathHammer Fantasy Battles...

and then the future version

StarHammer 20K

I know you’re joking but adding a Warhammer dimension to Golarion is precisely what I would like Paizo to add above all. My own world is a 4X strategy version of Golarion where each of my 15 players, in addition to their roleplaying character, owns several “heroes” who operate like the heroes in the strategy videogames Master of Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic, being free to roam Golarion and city-build etc. as described in “Ultimate Campaign” (and Legendary’s “Ultimate Kingdoms”), plus they can zoom in and play PFS Scenarios as if they’re playing SRPG stages. All the while 4 APs are also running at any given time and everything interacting with and affecting everything else!

Why am I saying this in this thread? Because the only thing I am missing is the stats for all the armies of Golarion. I have to make them myself, and I don’t know enough about the world plus lack the experience to do it as well as Paizo would do it.

But aside from my personal desires, don’t you think that adding a Warhammer dimension to Golarion (and a 40k dimension to the Pact Worlds) would be a hit for Paizo? It would enrich the world figuratively, and Paizo literally.

I’ll grant that if war can be initiated by players at any time, it can mess with the complex
narratives. It sure isn’t easy to GM something like this, and it’s even harder to plan and publish as a company at Paizo’s scale. But... there are ways to constrain it and make it manageable. And how glorious if it succeeded!

Anyway that’s my idea and my thinking. And while I am dreaming, I look forward to whatever useful bits and pieces that Battlecry will contain for my 4X Golarion
world.

P.S. Experienced 3PP devs should write Armies of Golarion for Pathfinder Infinite. I’d buy it in a heartbeat and shill it on my site.
