Pathfinder: The Pocket Gamemastery Guide – Big Advice, Little Book
Pathfinder 2nd Edition will soon have a pocket sized Gamemastery Guide out, as long as your pockets are from the late 90s.
The 90s were a different time. You needed pockets big enough to hold your disaffected ennui and also a skateboard/emergency flannel in case you started sincerely enjoying something and needed to blanket yourself in safe, comfortable irony to keep yourself from actually liking anything.
Nobody can make fun of you for liking something if you don’t like anything. Even these huge pockets–it’s the safest way to live. And if you happen to have pockets big enough to hide your true feelings you’ll be perfectly set for the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Gamemastery Guide pocket-sized book due out in the next few weeks.
Because each of the Pathfinder 2 books is bigger and beefier than before. The Gamemastery Guide is no exception–though it’s by far the smallest of the three, weighing in at only 256 pages or so, it has everything you need to run the best possible game of Pathfinder you can. From rules on running campaigns and building good adventures, to new magic items, or ways to hack Pathfinder 2 into a higher or lower powered setting depending on what you want, there’s a ton here. Check it out.
