I picked up the 576-page Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook hardback when it came out last year. I had downloaded the Beta PDF when it was available in 2008 and looked it over but didn't join in the playtest. Paizo has pulled out the stops on this game. While some people call it "D&D 3.75" (which I agree it is), it's changes to the game have improved it beyond 3.5.There are several reviews on RPG.net (2, 3, 4) including a review on the Beta release (1).
I have the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting and got the Bonus Bestiary with it but haven't yet purchased the Bestiary (but that'll be sooner rather than later).

I have been playing in two separate Pathfinder games and I love it. In fact I was just talking about it this morning.
ReplyDeleteI like it better than 3.5 myself. We dropped our 4.0 game in favor of this and while I miss some of the 4.0 quirks, this is still a lot of fun.
The Bestiary is a great book, one of the better monster books for the 3.x game out there.
OH. And as a PS, I am playing a Lawful Good Paladin. Getting back to my roots.
ReplyDeleteTim,
ReplyDeleteMy game group is currently using Pathfinder. We've had one session so far - look for the first write up soon.
Looks like I'm going to get the Bestiary sooner.
Glad you're getting back to your roots. Just don't be one of those Asshat Paladins, ok?
