So, did anyone pick the World book up?

I was surprised to see it was $80!!! Still picked it up though because the art and writing is so good.

$80? I forgot how much this stuff costs for non-subscribers.

Yeah I got it. It's very good. There is one culture in there that seems a bit "on the nose" as a North Korea proxy, but it's less "copy-paste direct than some discussion of it implied. Once I read it I was fine with it.

We've only 1 book left before everything that needs a remaster update has had a remaster update. So there's no rational reason for concerns there. The game works just fine.

Tian Xia's World Guide and the Season of Ghosts were both well done from my perspective. I have high hopes for the Tian Xia Player's Guide though it will be a while till it comes out. The Remaster did shake up the schedule a bit - which can be 100% blamed on WotC being [censored] [censored]s. But Paizo handled that like champs and used it as an opportunity to clean house on some minor but annoying system issues

As of yesterday, August 28th, the
Tian Xia Character Guide
from the Lost Omens setting book line is now available for purchase at your local FLGS and as a pdf from Paizo! This product complements the
Lost Omens Tian Xia World Guide
which was released earlier this year. Unlike that book, the Character Guide is stuffed full of ancestries, heritages, backgrounds, archetypes, animal companions & familiars, and new items. For those of us who play in the Pathfinder Society universal campaign, our wonderful AR team (Disclosure: I am on the team, but did not participate in the review of this book) did their job in reviewing everything which means the book’s content is officially sanctioned for Society play. There are a few restrictions and clarifications which you can read about on the Pathfinder Society Character Options page. Just scroll down to this book’s entry.





As you can see by the above chart (Google Drive link), six more ancestries have been added to it. All six are sanctioned for play, but do require the purchase of the requisite boon for official play. You can access the boons on the upper toolbar in the My Organized Pl

The first big world expansion to the revised second edition of Pathfinder is out, and it’s the Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide! Time to look at this 304 page beast of a book!

Tian Xia made its first appearance in 2008’s Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting book, and was further detailed in 2011’s Inner Sea World Guide and Dragon Empires Gazeteer. The latter of which was its first truly detailed examination. From there, it enjoyed fairly regular support through the first edition and was touched on briefly in some of the second edition books prior to the revision. Breaking slightly from its Earth analogue design, Tian Xia is a completely separate continent on Golarion, and requires fairly extraordinary effort to reach or travel from. However, it and the European coded Avistan are by far the most detailed regions of Golarion.

Within the revised second edition, the Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide (LOTX:WG) r
