Pathfinder 2e Announced – Playtest to Come Soon

Paizo has announced they’ll be releasing the Second Edition of the game system. Playtesting will begin soon, like it did for the first edition of the game.

From their press release:

Paizo Inc. today announced the worldwide open playtest of Pathfinder Second Edition, an evolution of one of the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying games. The playtest begins August 2, 2018 when Paizo releases the Pathfinder Playtest Rulebook, Pathfinder Playtest Adventure, and Pathfinder Playtest Flip-Mat Multi-Pack, kicking off a massive multi-month free playtest.

Digital editions of all three Pathfinder playtest products will be available for free at paizo.com starting August 2. A limited number of print editions will be available at game stores and bookstores all over the world, as well as at Paizo’s booth at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana, August 2–5. Players can preorder print editions of all three playtest products from local game stores now, or directly from paizo.com between March 20 and May 1. Paizo will not reprint the playtest rulebook or adventure, so players must preorder to assure they do not miss these items.

I must admit, I’ve had a spotty record with Pathfinder. Rules Lawyers and its denseness have thrown me off, particularly because I only really began looking into it after 5e was out, and, frankly, 5e is a better system in my opinion. However, I’m really intrigued by what they’re promising. Hop over to the Playtest page to check it out. I’ll keep you updated once the playtest is released.
