We live in a realm where imagination knows no bounds, where heroes rise from humble beginnings to face formidable challenges, and where the fate of entire worlds hangs in the balance! Within the tabletop role-playing game community, few names evoke as much excitement and reverence as “Pathfinder,” and today, we are taking a closer look at some exciting system news: 

Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster

In case you haven’t heard: Pathfinder Second Edition is being remastered with new Core Rulebooks!

  • Player Core available now
  • GM Core available now
  • Monster Core (coming soon)
  • Player Core 2 (coming soon)

The Remaster, launching officially on November 15, 2023, features small improvements, cosmetic updates, and terminology changes, but isn’t different enough to be considered a new edition of the game. The updates incorporate comprehensive errata and rules updates, plus some of the best additions from later books into new, easier-to-access volumes with new presentations inspired by years of player feedback. 

This year saw a huge explosion of new Pathfinder players. Remastered books like Pathfinder Player Core and Pathfinder GM Core improve upon the presentation of our popular Pathfinder Second Edition rules, remixing four years of updates and refinements to make the game easier to learn and more fun to play.
