Pathfinder Remaster Changes – GM Core and GM More
Pathfinder has a whole new set of changes coming in the Pathfinder Remaster Project. Today we’re looking at the new GM Core!
By now you’ve surely seen the news that Pathfinder is releasing an updated version of their Pathfinder 2E ruleset in the form of the Pathfinder Remaster Project. Tackling the core rules in new ways across four books, these changes bring Pathfinder 2E up to date, incorporating community feedback, rules design advances, and so on to make the core rules both more user-friendly and accessible.
And also all in one set of four books. The Player Core 1 & 2, GM Core, and Monster Core. Today we’re looking at what’s new for the Pathfinder 2E GM Core.
Pathfinder 2E GM Core Changes
Unleash your imagination, creating worlds and stories beyond measure with the new Pathfinder GM Core for Pathfinder Second Edition! This comprehensive 336-page hardcover rulebook gives Game Masters everything they need to craft thrilling tales of adventure, from a single-night’s dungeon delve to complex epics spanning years. Within these pages you’ll find clear guidelines for creating new hazards and monsters, tools to design challenging, balanced encounters, and rules for rewarding characters for the dastardly challenges you array before them! Pathfinder GM Core also contains a dragon’s hoard of magic items and treasure to entice and reward your players, from simple healing potions to magic weapons and armor and legendary artifacts, including dozens of brand-new items!
Pathfinder GM Core is the second core rulebook for the fully remastered Pathfinder Second Edition RPG! These rules are compatible with previous Pathfinder Second Edition rulebooks, incorporating comprehensive errata and rules updates and some of the best additions from later books into new, easier-to-access volumes with new presentations inspired by years of player feedback. Along with the Player Core, Monster Core, and Player Core 2, these books provide a new foundation for the future of tabletop gaming!
So first things first. The GM Core, as you might expect, is the GM’s guide to all things Pathfinder. This means there’ll be guidelines for creating new encounters, rewards, and all that jazz. But what’s new is the GM advice, which will give you both tools for handling table issues with safety and comfort, as well as tips on how to run a game that will be memorable.
Veteran GMs will be especially interested in the new homebrew guidelines, which will help outline creating campaigns, hazards, and monsters. Or if you prefer to get under the hood and tinker, there’s a host of new subsystems to play with, including rules for chases, duels, research, infiltration, and more.
All this, is fully under the ORC license. So no OGL remnants to sort through, either.
