If you’ve been dabbling in tabletop RPGs for a while, the name Pathfinder is probably a familiar one, even if you’ve never played it. And if you’re currently looking to pick up a tabletop fantasy roleplaying game that doesn’t have “dungeons” or “dragons“, then you’re going to want to check out the Pathfinder Humble Bundle that’s currently running.
The full Humble Bundle includes 25 PDFs from Pathfinder‘s 2nd Edition, ranging from rulebooks to adventures and map packs, with a value of just over $690 – but you’ll only need to pay just shy of $40. It’s the perfect excuse to pick up a new game.
Pathfinder‘s 1st Edition began as a modified version of Dungeons & Dragons‘ revised 3rd Edition (also known as 3.5) and was created as a response to the restrictive nature of the Game System License that Wizards of the Coast introduced alongside D&D‘s 4th Edition. The second edition of Pathfinder – which is what this Humble Bundle is comprised of – was launched in 2019, and features a more refined and streamlined ruleset than the 1st Edition.
I know a few people who love Pathfinder, but I’ve never actually played myself. Luckily, Kotaku Australia’s Game Master Managing Editor, David, has – here’s what he has to say about the RPG:
“Pathfinder has been the most visible alternative to D&D for many years, a throwback to D&D‘s wayward 3.5 Edition ruleset that fixed many of its problems. Players used to D&D‘s simplified 5th Edition rules may find Pathfinder more of a challenge to get their heads around, but there will be players for whom it scratches a specific itch. Because it comes from an older school of RPG design, Pathfinder is rather maths-heavy but allows for greater depth in combat and role-playing. If fantasy isn’t your thing, there’s a sci-fi version available called Starfinder.”
