Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

I don’t play pathfinder, but I might pick up the World Guide. It sounds like it spends a bunch of page count on PF2 monsters, which are of no use to me, but the setting material should be good. I liked the old Dragon Empires Gazetteer and with a bumped-up pagecount (hopefully) and a bunch of own-voices authors, this could be a nice resource and inspiration.

Is it just me who thinks the picture with the boat race looks very goofy? And not just because the dragon with its tongue out.
The first guys in the red boats neck looks way too long and the clothing of both teams (especially the green one) look more like modern day college rowing clubs to me than something I would associate with historic China inspired clothes.

I'm going to need a pronunciation guide for sure.

Same. I have no interest in PF, but this is definitely worth checking out for the representation and the subject matter.

Yes, I think "goofy" is a good way to describe it - in multiple areas. It seems very cartoony in how it is rendered as well. I prefer the character guide cover for sure. Which is unfortunate as I am more interested in the setting guide.

I got the recent Lost Omens Guide: Mwangi Expanse on PDF in a Humble Bundle. At the time I wasn't playing PF2, but I can say that it has evocative art and a lot of system neutral lore. I expect a similar quality with this title. It will definitely be worth a flip through at your local bookstore to see if it appeals to you.

Sadly Pathfinder seems to slide more and more into cheap comedy, the same way the Marvel movies ended up with Thor 4.

My group and I are rather excited for these.

And yet Thor: Love and Thunder has done better with audiences than the more serious Thor: the Dark World. So, maybe not so sad for most of us...

Thor: Love and Thunder also did over 7 times the box office as Goodfellas (adjusted for inflation).
