Pathfinder Role Playing Game

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game from Paizo went on sale August 13, 2009, and the entire first print run was sold out weeks before.

Thousands downloaded the Alpha and Beta Playtest Documents

Tens of thousands of posts discussing it occurred on their message boards

The result, the Heir to the d20 Role Playing Game mantle has been passed on to the successor.

The King is Dead

Long Live the King of Simulationist Role Playing Games (besides Hero System of course)

The worthy inheritor and successor to Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition is Pathfinder Role Playing Game.

3.5 did not do it

Modern was good, but it was not the same (d20 really is best at fantasy not other genres in my opinion)

True 20 is simplified, and good, same with Mutants and Masterminds.

But Pathfinder, whether you get the new rules, use either Alpha or Beta or even the SRD found on thier site, but Pathfinder is the wave of the future for Fantasy RPG for the mainstream gamer. This should stay that way for years to come.

The book costs a pretty penny

Coming in at $ 50.00 retail. Of course you can easily get 10% off at various large chain book stores. But coming in at 574 pages with the index means, damn you are getting your monies worth.

So this brings it on, game wise. It takes the iconic characters of traditional role playing gaming and brings them into the realm of being 'tough'

All of the stock traditional classes are represented

• Fighter
• Ranger
• Paladin
• Barbarian
  
• Soceror
• Magic User
• Cleric
• Rogue
• Monk
• Bards

Are all there

The stock races

• Human
• Elf
• Dwarf
• Halfling
• Half Elf
• Half Orc
  
• Gnomes

They are all there

All are retooled, all have no spins to them, bringing them into a vision making them tougher than their 3.0/3.5 counterparts, while still retaining the feel of old school traditional tabletop gaming, without the MMORPG feel of another product out on the market.

Fighters are tough, Barbarians are Monsters. Sorcerors have cool bloodlines to add flavor to them, Rangers can walk two main paths consisting of Ranged Combat or Dual Wielding Weapons, and Rogues are finally my favorite class.
