Pathfinder: Pocket Edition OGL Coming Soon
Pathfinder’s core rulebook is getting a new, smaller format with a new, smaller price tag.
The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game puts you in the role of a brave adventurer fighting to survive in a world beset by magic and evil… and starting in August you don’t have to own a bag of holding to carry the rulebook.
Paizo showed off the new, smaller (8.4″ x 6.5″) paperback edition at Origins over the weekend. It’s the core rules players have come to know and enjoy, just in a smaller package… and with a smaller price.
