![]() No tinfoil hat necessary - this was a test for a new version! From Humble Beginnings to Towering Behemoth In this case, it turns out all those screaming message board voices were absolutely correct, and it is the stodgy old naysayers who are now eating crow. Just a year back, when sci-fi spin-off Starfinder landed, it reignited "conspiracy theories" that the launch was a back door for testing out an upcoming Pathfinder second edition. The whole reason people went with Pathfinder was so they didn't have to switch editions, sticking with what was essentially D&D 3.75 to avoid having to rebuy all the same books over again with 4th edition. ![]() That notion was so prevalent among the player base that Paizo even needed to include a " Didn't You Say You'd Never Do This?" section in the FAQ about the upcoming 2nd Edition.Įven just two or three years ago, the various gaming forums and sub-reddits were flooded with messages vehemently opposed to a new edition whenever anyone new would come on and suggest such a blasphemous idea. This sudden move has left more than a few longtime players blindsided, given that the general consensus from major Paizo figures like Erik Mona has always been that a second edition wasn't needed and would be years off, if it ever arrived at all. Just like with the 1st Edition, a massive Pathfinder 2nd Edition playtest is about to get underway so the players can give direct input on what changes are made as this aging franchise gets a whole new version.
