Pathfinder 2E Paizo Reveals Wayne Reynolds' Pathfinder Remastered Cover Sketches

While the final colour pieces won't arrive for a few weeks, Paizo's Erik Mona revealed the cover sketches of the upcoming Pathfinder Remastered core rulebooks while at the GAMA industry trade show yesterday.

In an unsual move, you will actually be able to buy special 'sketch' editions of the books featuring the uncoloured sketch art on the covers from November from game stores worldwide. They won't be available online (except a small number on Paizo.com) or from booktores, and there will only be one print run.

Each of these covers features a new type of official Pathfinder dragon.

Pathfinder 2E - Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

It's not just D&D that's getting a 'revised' set of core books--Pathfinder is also getting 'remastered' books! The core rulebooks are being replaced by a new set of books, with new names, but like D&D it is being reiterated that this is not a new edition--"With the exception of a few minor...

I'm not a huge Wayne Reynolds fan, but I like the sketch drawings better than his color work. But then I am a huge fan of 1e and 2e black and white interior illustrations.

Any chance these will appear in Pocket Edition, or nah?

As I've previously noted, I think these look like covers for an unfinished, Beta release. Don't like 'em, and I hope that they don't become the standard of Paizo art going forward.

Pretty sure these are a limited edition cover, and the standard cover will be back to normal though.

From the Paizo blog:

For the first three months of their release, Pathfinder Sketch Cover versions of the new core rulebooks will be available EXCLUSIVELY at hobby retailers worldwide. We will not be offering these editions to online or bookstore retailers, ever! We also do not intend to reprint these editions beyond our modest initial print run. We’ll retain a small number to sell on paizo.com after the 120-day exclusivity period for folks who do not have access to a local game store, but these special editions are intended to support our local game store partners who have been such a big part of Pathfinder’s success since the very beginning. We urge you to communicate your interest in these special books to your local store, so that they can be sure to stock appropriately.

Oh man, I miss black and white ink work so badly…
