Pathfinder Lost Omens Shining Kingdoms

The Lost Omens Shining Kingdoms supplement provides detailed information on six regions of the Inner Sea: Andoran, Druma, the Five Kings Mountains, Galt, Kyonin, and Taldor. These areas, collectively known as the Shining Kingdoms, are described as places with knightly traditions, established cultures, and intricate political dynamics.

The book will include histories and gazetteers for each nation, alongside details about notable cities. It will also offer new character options such as archetypes, equipment, spells, magic items, and animal companions. Additional content includes a bestiary and a fold-out poster map.

The retail price for Lost Omens Shining Kingdoms is set at $59.99.

Pathfinder Treasure Vault (Remastered)

The Treasure Vault (Remastered) updates the original 2023 release to align with the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster system. It will include the same content as the original, featuring rules for over 600 items, including weapons, alchemical tools, and other equipment. The original version remains compatible with the current game rules, but this edition offers updates for those using the revised system.

The remastered book will retail for $64.99.

Both books are planned for release in June 2025.

The book introduces 13 distinct witch-themed subclasses, each providing a different approach to magic. The options range from the healing-focused Serenity Witches to Pact Witches, who form connections with mysterious entities. For those seeking more traditional RPG roles with a witchcraft twist, subclasses such as the Hex Archer and Corpse Crafter combine familiar archetypes with new, witchcraft-inspired elements.

The world of Witchfyre includes several covens, each offering unique abilities and teachings. For example, The Thorned Roses focus on defensive magic, while The Distant Orchard provides skills in stealth. Players can also engage with one of 13 Witchfyre Dragons or pursue pacts with various Accursed Gods, adding additional paths for character progression and storytelling.

Alongside character options, Witchfyre includes a full campaign that spans 13 levels, guiding players through a world affected by a widespread curse. This adventure provides a structured storyline for players interested in immersing themselves in a darker, magic-focused setting.

The Kickstarter campaign for Witchfyre has currently exceeded its initial goal of $5,000, with pledges totaling over $73,000. The campaign remains open until midnight on November 14.
