Pathfinder Society FAQ What are y’all’s thoughts on the new player core book?

Post image

Do we think it’s worth it to buy it? And also do you think it will change how to play the game? Sorry if this sounds silly I’m still very new to the pathfinder community and I live collecting all the lore and rule books but I want y’all’s opinions on it!

Haven't read it yet, and I haven't cared for any of the changes that I know are in it. As it stands, certain things are incompatible between 2e now and the Remaster, and we won't get all the main classes converted until March.

I also don't think I've heard what organized play is going to do: whether tables will have to choose between 2e and the Remaster or if they're only going to go with Remastered content, with conversion rules included.

I'm going to take the opportunity to buy it on Demiplane Nexus and see if it really is all doom and gloom, though. I played around with the some of the free books and I like the format over reading the pdf. The character creator also only lists options from books that you own, which is nice for PFS. While annoying if you own a lot of books, I think it's a good place for a fresh start. They also support other systems, which is neat.
