Pathfinder 2E has a new “Deluxe Adventure” box for 1st-level characters in the works. Dawn of the Frogs will be available in September.
If there’s one thing that everyone in the tabletop gaming space can coalesce around, it’s the idea of a big box that’s full of basically everything you need to be able to play the game. From Warhammer to Cthulhu to D&D ad Pathfinder, we love a big boxed set.
There’s just something about the promise that THIS box, somehow, will get our friends into the thing that we want them to be into. Or maybe it’s just a good deal for some stuff you’ve been wanting to check out anyway. And Pathfinder 2E’s upcoming Deluxe Adventure, Dawn of the Frogs marks the dawn of a new era for Pathfinder.
Pathfinder: Dawn of the Frogs – A ‘Deluxe Adventure’
Now this is a “deluxe adventure” which is not to be confused with a “starter set.” The main difference here is that, as far as I can tell, Dawn of the Frogs doesn’t come with a stripped down version of the rules that will let you just jump in. That doesn’t really matter because you can find all the core rules online for free.
The “deluxe adventure” does come with everything else, though. At the heart of the boxed set, are three short adventures. Each are designed for 1st level characters, and each designed to be played in a single short session. You could probably get away with doing them all in a single big game night, but if it were me, I’d use this as an excuse to train my friends that they enjoy playing this game every week/every other week.
Besides the adventures, Dawn of the Frogs has four pre-generated characters, complete with character sheets. You’ll also get poster maps for all the combat encounters, a sheet of pawns for PCs and NPCs, and dice enough to roll through each encounter. Though you’ll probably want some more, but if you’re getting your friends into it, that shouldn’t be a problem. It really is a perfect little starter set, despite being a “Deluxe Adventure.”
“Gather your friends for the perfect taste of the Pathfinder RPG with this deluxe boxed set adventure designed specifically for brand new players! The small village of Bog Bottom has a problem—locals have been going missing near an old, abandoned mill in the surrounding swamp known as Dunmire. But what awaits discovery in this ruin is far more sinister than a few wayward villagers—Bog Bottom is going to need a new band of heroes if it hopes to survive the upcoming Dawn of the Frogs!”
So if you want to get your friends into Pathfinder 2E, perhaps luring them away from other RPGs but still keeping all those custom d20s everyone’s been investing in – you might want to consider Dawn of the Frogs. It’s got a taste of just aout everything you’d want out of Pathfinder 2E. Including a lot of weird little frog guys.
This is part of the Pathfinder Game Night series, slated for release later in September. So stay tuned!
Dunmire, dunshire, it’s all dun to me!
