Welcome to PaizoCon 2025! We got a ton of new information during the Keynote Stream.
The Keynote Twitch stream kicked off with Erik Mona welcoming us to PaizoCon 2025. Paizo is running a 20% off sale on a single order using the code "PAIZOCON25" for the duration of PaizoCon.
Out now is the Galaxy Guide. This a a primer designed for new and experienced players that explores popular types of science fantasy campaigns (galactic exploration, horror, war-torn space opera, etc.). It also introduces several powerful galactic factions as potential friends or foes as well as six new playable alien ancestries and new archetypes. There is also a double-sided map of the Starfinder galaxy and the Pact Worlds system.
Launching at Gen Con will be the Starfinder Player Core. This is the first book in the Starfinder Second Edition. Starfinder GM Core will be coming out at the beginning of September, with Starfinder Alien Core following in November.
If you want to hit the ground running with a deluxe adventure, Murder in Metal City is a deluxe introductory boxed set adventure for four 1st-level Starfinder Second Edition characters containing numerous tools to assist GMs, including player and creature tokens, an immersive poster-sized double-sided battle map, investigation handouts, item cards, NPC cards, and a GM reference sheet and investigation tracker—everything required for a premium adventure experience!
Future adventures will zoom into different worlds, like the October release: Guilt of the GraveWorld which will give more information on Eox. We will also be seeing a Starfinder novel, Era of the Eclipse, and the Infinity Deck.
There will also be a special event at Gen Con called Battle of HellKnight Hill. No word on if it will be available after the convention.
Multiple Adventure Paths will cover the Hellfire Crisis, including Hellbreakers. It’s low level 1-9 ending with the level 10 level up. It’ll document the rise of the Hellbreaker's League organization that you’ll be forming as a rebellion against Cheliax.
Operation Hellmouth is Pathfinder fiction featuring Valeros.
John Compton and James Jacobs came on to talk to us about the remastered version of the Gatewalkers adventure path coming in July.
Now that the War of the Immortals introduced mythic rules, we will be seeing more in the Mythspeaker adventure path, starting with Pathfinder Adventure Path #216: The Acropolis Pyre. This will bring the PCs to the city-states of Iblydos, a land steeped in mythic power. They will be coming to Iblydios to join the funeral games of VIP, there’s an interesting omen that they investigate and gain mythic power, and join the ranks of Iblydios' hero-gods, which haven't been seen since before prophecy was lost over a century ago.
Pathfinder Game Night: Dawn of the Frogs Deluxe Adventure is a new format for adventures, where they include everything you need to play in the box, including pawns, pregens, and a 32 page adventure. There’s 3 one night adventures for you and your friends to play in order to get an overarching plot.
Running from October through December will be the Revenge of the Runelords. This adventure path will either see you saving the world or taking your scissors to your maps of Golarion.
Luis Loza and Eleanor Ferron brought us everything Lost Omens. If you like high fantasy, you will love Lost Omens: Shining Kingdoms. Within the Shining Kingdoms dwell noble knightly orders, proud ancient cultures, and deadly courtly intrigue. Each of the six regions also presents new character options including archetypes, equipment, magic items, spells, animal companions, and more. As a companion to Shining Kingdoms, there will be The Lost Omens Shining Kingdoms Poster Map Archive, a box set of seven maps.
Do you like dragons? Then be prepared for Lost Omens: Draconic Codex! Coming out in November, this book will give you statistics for over 20 types of dragons, including expanding upon the dragons found in Monster Core and Monster Core 2. There will also be statistics for the ferocious archdragons, the oldest and mightiest dragons of their kinds.
We will continue to monitor Paizo's Twitch stream to continue to bring you all of the news coming out of PaizoCon 2025!
