Remastered Version of Core Book on Fantasy Grounds

[Jason Shortt]

Hi all.

Has it been stated if the current version of PF2 will be updated on fantasy Grounds to the remastered version, or will you need to buy it again for Fantasy Grounds?

Oh boy, one of only the first wave of these questions, none of which will ever have the answer that people are looking for. I can't imagine the amount of heat that industry partners are going to be facing because of this over the next few years...

There is a next to 0% chance that the current PF2 books will function to provide the Remastered rules for many, many reasons, some logistical, some legal, and others financial, but at the end of the day the Remaster will absolutely be a completely separate and new product distinct legally and mechanically from the existing PF2 Core so you should not expect to the current version you own to be updated for free, no.

I mean, the people to answer that question aren't Paizo, but are in fact Smiteworks.

You will have to ask this question on the FantasyGrounds forum, but it's very likely that, while the ruleset will probably be upgraded for free, you will need to buy the new rulebooks separately.

They’re different books. You can tell by their titles.

Or you can use Foundry and avoid all these issues…… luckily.

I agree but... the guy didn't ask that. ;)

That said... OP, if you are open to it - once you find out what Fantasy Grounds would charge for this, compare it to the price of Foundry.

Foundry will not add charges for rulebooks. But they will charge you for adventures.

You can import adventures yourself if you own them as PDFs - getting maps and tokens - but those maps won't have things like walls, doors, treasure, and NPCs placed, so you'd have to do that manually.

So... if you already have a large collection of PF2E adventures in Fantasy Grounds you might choose to stay there. If you don't, or if you plan to run stuff that comes out in the future - the financials might be better going with Foundry.

You could also choose to just not get the books inside of Fantasy Grounds - and use archives of nethys and your own copies of the books for rules lookups - if Fantasy Grounds at least updates the game mechanics.
