Paizo Publishing LLC has announced the planned release of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beginner Box – a new starting point for players wanting to learn and play the Pathfinder RPG. With the Beginner Box, Paizo is attempting to expand the number of players for Pathfinder, which the company says already has over 100,000 players in active campaign play.

The Beginner Box will contain everything needed for 2-5 players to get started with the Pathfinder RPG. Included in the boxed set is a 64-page Hero’s Handbook detailing character creation, spells, equipment, and general rules for playing the game; a 96-page Game Master’s Guide packed with adventures, monsters, magical treasures, and advice on how to narrate the game and control the challenges faced by the heroes; a complete set of seven high-impact polyhedral dice, over 80 full-color pawns depicting heroes, monsters, and a fearsome black dragon; four pre-generated character sheets; four blank character sheets; and a durable, reusable, double-sided Flip-Mat play surface.

This announcement comes on the heels of the newly announced Jade Regent Adventure Path that will be released by Paizo this year, (see “Jade Regent Adventure Path Begins”) and the recent announcement that the Pathfinder RPG - Advanced Players Guide has been nominated for an Origins award for best roleplaying supplement, (see “37th Annual Origins Award Finalists”).

The full color Beginner Box will ship in October and will retail for around $35.

If that price is right that's astonishing value.

Subject to what everything looks like of course.

..hmm.... perhaps it is time for my group to make the leap from 2nd edition AD&D

Surely that price can't be right. That's peanuts! If it's as good as it sounds, I'll definitely pick one up for bringing in new folks to the game.

EDIT:

It is true!

"Full-Colour" implies printed, so I think it means 80 tokens or counters, not miniatures.

I think you're right. Even if they're cardboard tokens, though, this still strikes me as good value.

**Comintern**

Regardless of the miniatures, containing both the PHB and the Game Master's Guide for 35$ alone, even if in paper back is a very excellent deal! A quality system for that price.

DEAL!

That is a sweet deal. If I didn't already have most of the Pathfinder books I'd think of picking it up...
