‘Pathfinder’ to release two new books in April 2016
Monday, October 26th, 2015
With the release of the new Dungeons and Dragons rule set, a lot of other RPGs probably found themselves taking a back seat. However, many of those systems are still alive and kicking. One such system is Pathfinder. And today, it was announced that Pathfinder has plans to release two new source books in April. These two new books will be called Ultimate Intrigue and Heaven Unleashed.
According to the report, Ultimate Intrigue was created from tons of input from the Pathfinder fan base. Pathfinder even had an “open playtesting cycle” to help make the book.
“The 256-page full-color hardcover book delves into the types of challenges that cannot be resolved through brute force or magic, but relies instead on social skills and clever plotting.”
In addition clearing things up, the book will also introduce a new core character class known as the Vigilante.
“[The Vigilatne] spends days as a respected member of society and nights avenging the downtrodden.”
Those who purchase the book will also find it to contain “new social-based character options for the game’s many skill-based character classes, rules for influencing community organizations, social combat and verbal dueling…”
The other new book, Heaven Unleashed, will be a new campaign setting that surrounds itself in politics and agendas of the celestial races. So, for you hardcore role players, this sounds like the best chance for you to show of your acting skills.
“Thirteen holy champions are featured in this 64-page, full-color softcover book, each with complete stat blocks, encounter notes and maps, and guidelines for encounters involving both good- and evil-aligned characters.”
Ultimate Intrigue will carry an MSRP of $44.99 and Heaven Unleashed will carry an MSRP of $22.99.
Both books are due out in April of 2016.

Paizo Publishing Announces Expansion for Popular ‘Pathfinder Adventure Card Game’
Friday, November 14th, 2014
Paizo Publishing has announced details for the next set for its popular Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: the Wrath of the Righteous Base Set and Character Add-On Deck will both release in April.
The Wrath of the Righteous Base Set will feature characters, locations, equipment, magic, monsters, and villains from the hellish demon battle-themed 2013 Pathfinder RPG Adventure Path of the same name. The game offers seven character classes–including four new ones (arcanist, cavalier, inquisitor, and summoner).
The box will contain more than 500 cards and include six polyhedral dice (including the first d20 in the game), as well as The Worldwound Incursion Adventure Deck, the beginning of the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path. The game is for 1-4 players.
Like previous releases, there will also be a Character Add-On Deck as well as future monthly Adventure Decks. The 110-card Character Add-On Deck expands the game to accommodate 5 – 6 players, and includes four new characters, including three new classes (bloodrager, hunter, and shaman). It also includes more monsters and items to fill out the game. The new classes and characters are fully compatible with previous Pathfinder Adventure Card Game releases.

Paizo Publishing Announces February 2015 Releases
Monday, September 15th, 2014
Paizo Publishing has announced its Pathfinder RPG releases for the month of February 2015, first reported by ICv2.com, which is the beginning of a new Adventure Path series: Giantslayer. Releases include the first adventure, a new campaign setting book, an adventure “toolbox,” and a map pack.
The Battle of Bloodmarch Hill launches the new six-part Giantslayer Adventure Path. In this adventure, players must defend a human settlement besieged by orcs while uncovering the truth behind a mysterious death. The adventure is designed for first level characters, and includes information on the giants of Golarion, new game mechanics for giants, and a new Pathfinder’s Journal. The adventure is compatible with the Pathfinder RPG and the Open Game License.
The new Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Tombs of Golarion presents a number of deadly dungeons and tombs for the Pathfinder game world. The 64-page softcover book includes a number of adventures including new monsters, traps, and treasures, as well as suggestions for game masters who want to include them in their own campaigns.
The Pathfinder Player Companion: Melee Tactics Toolbox will be a 32-page softcover book with new rules and game materials designed to enhance melee combat in the game. This book was written with the player in mind, designed to appeal to them rather than gamemasters. MSRP is $12.99.
The last of Paizo’s planned quartet for February will be the Pathfinder Map Pack: River System. Designed to work with thePathfinder Flip-Mat: Basic Terrain Multi-Packand other grassy flip-mats, this set includes 18 full-color map tiles illustrated by Jason Engle. The tiles can be used to create a variety of river scenes, and have a special coating that allows wet, dry, and permanent markers to be used and erased. This will be the 54th Map Pack game accessory.

According to hobby channel news website ICv2.com, Paizo Publishing will release Pathfinder Unchained, a 256-page hardcover of optional rules that change some of the fundamentals of the Pathfinder RPG, in April 2015. Among the optional rules will be redesigned barbarian, monk, rogue, and summoner classes; a new action economy; new ways of designing monsters and treasure on the fly; a new resource pool for martial characters; and a new system for modifying spells with powerful spell components.
Players can pick and choose the systems they want to change in their game, from minimal changes to a new play experience.
Could this be part of a potential “answer” to Wizards of the Coast’s brand new D&D Next?

Paizo Announces ‘Pathfinder Battles: The Lost Coast’
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014
Paizo announced details on its next set of Pathfinder Battles miniatures, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.com. The Lost Coast set will release in November.
The Lost Coast set will contain 45 figures, and unlike previous sets, will not be based on characters from a specific Pathfinder Adventure Path, as previous sets Reign of Winter and Wrath of Righteous were. Instead, this release will be a broad-based set based on multiple Pathfinder RPG products, but with a specific focus on the popular region of Varisia, which has been the setting for previous Adventure Paths and other releases.
The set will include monsters, heroes and humanoids inspired by previous releases, as well as new monster types not yet released in this figure line. The case incentive figure will be the “Gargantuan Shemhazian Demon,” which is also the largest figure produced to date.
Each Lost Coast booster contains 1 large figure and 3 medium/small figures. The Lost Coast Standard Brick contains 8boosters (32 total figures.) The Lost Coast Standard Case contains 4 Standard Bricks (32 boosters, 128 figures).
