Pathfinder Role Playing Game

Since the Talisman Game (held at the same time) filled up, we've decided to add a second game. Chris has volunteered to run a Pathfinder RPG "intro" game. What is Pathfinder?

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game casts you in the role of a brave adventurer exploring treacherous ruins, battling fearsome monsters, and making a name for yourself in a world beset by magic and evil!

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is an evolution of the 3.5 rules set of the world's oldest fantasy roleplaying game, designed using the feedback of tens of thousands of gamers just like you. Players need only the single 576-page Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook to play, while the Game Master who controls the action will also want the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary, a massive tome containing more than 350 fantastic foes for you adventurers to face. The Pathfinder RPG is a fully supported roleplaying game, with regularly released adventure modules, world sourcebooks, and complete campaigns in the form of Pathfinder Adventure Paths like Council of Thieves and Kingmaker.

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game has been designed with compatibility with previous editions in mind, so you'll be able to use your existing library of 3.5 products with minimal effort. In fact, the Pathfinder RPG is designed to smooth over a number of the rough spots in the 3.5 rules set, making several existing books even easier to use. On the other hand, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game contains numerous additional options and exciting new takes on classic character classes and races, infusing the game with a level of excitement that will carry it years into the future.

Since Paizo released the first playtest documents in March of 2008, more than 50,000 gamers have downloaded the rules and posted their feedback, resulting in a year-long open playtest that was the largest in the history of tabletop roleplaying games. Going back to the beginning of third edition, the rules engine that powers the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game has enjoyed more than 10 years of active playtesting and revision, making it the most robust set of fantasy RPG rules ever published.


This is going to be a beginner game, so anyone interested in RPGs or the Pathfinder system can join. We will have pre-gen characters, so you don't really need to bring anything - your lucky dice, maybe?!

    What, outside of dice, do we need?

    Nothing really. Dice, maybe a pencil, scratch paper? We're using pre-gen characters. We have the manuals we need. Should be good.

    I hope your wife yelled at you--I told her to do so a few weeks ago when I saw her.

    Haven't played an RPG in years, so I'm very rusty. But I had a good time and enjoyed the game. This is one of those games that would get better the more we played it.

    I hadn't played an RPG in a while, but I had a blast. My rolls pretty well sucked and I got smacked around a couple times, but I enjoyed myself and look forward to finishing this one as well as Anthony mentioned another game that he would be interested in running.
