(...) I think I have made a server in Discord a while ago about Pathfinder 2e. If anyone want to grab it, I can provide the link. It is pretty small.

Yes please, send me da invite link, my PMs are open! 0w0 (only if it's okay though that I'm shy and don't talk much)


Hold on, Paizo released a second book aka a second edition of the rulebook? Damnit, I'm still sitting on the first edition which's full physical rulebook I own (my treasure...), aka what I have played then was Pathfinder 1e. Would definitely update-read me to edition 2 then, onto my mental wanna-do list this goes.

Well. It is a bit complicated to explain. Yes, there is Pathfinder 2e who was released a long while ago (around 2019 if I not mistaken), but then something...nasty happen around 2023. 

To summarize a LOOOOOONG story into a more shorter version, Wizards of the Coast, the owner of the DND franchise basically try change something called the Open Game License 1.a (or OGL for short). Within that License, people could create material using d20 system or using the mechanics of DND, and make Third Party content and receive money for it, without the need to pay anything to WOTC. If you want to make a DND setting of your desigh, and receive money from it, you can. 

But then, around 2023, they send a document to certain people to sigh, and within those new license had a lot of things: People when they make projects of collective finance, they would pay 25% of any gains they get to WOTC, VTT (Virtual tabletops) would not have 3d elements, and one of the worse elements: If they somehow think your product have elements they think is "inappropriate" they would simple force you to cancel your project, and then take your project for then without need to give anything in return.

They never specificify what "inappropriate" was, so if you would say any shit to them, they would just use as a justification to terminate your project, steal, and show you the middle finger. 

Why I telling all of this? Because the OGL would affect not only DND projects, but the entirely TTRPG hobby. Pathfinder included. The community unify, begin to boycott them, along of other things, and they give up in change the OGL. However, the trust was already destroyed. So Paizo make some important decisions. They created their own license, where any person could use to create their own game, their own product using their rules.

The
Open
RPG
Creative
License

Or as they named: The ORC License. 

Then after that, they begin to make changes in the system to be completaly separate from DND, since Pathfinder born from DND 3.5. The Remaster is basically a group of books who get modernized and go in a long process of change certain rules in the system, fix a lot of mistakes inside 2e, change a lot of terms, and even modify classes and subclasses granting them new mechanics, buffs, and new things, rebalance of monsters, clarification of rules, but still be compatible with everything Pathfinder 2e has before the Remaster.

We now basically have the remaster versions of Player Core 1 and Player Core 2 (with lots of rebalances of classes, items, ancestries and items), the Remaster of GM Core Book, and the Remaster of the Monster Core Book. Although I have both the originals and the remaster versions for reference.

So yeah. Basically it is a amazing time to start Pathfinder 2e.
