After two books that were more concerned with lore than rules (Lost Omens: Legends and Lost Omens: Pathfinder Society Guide) players are granted another crunch-heavy book in Lost Omens: Ancestry Guide. The book is similar in both theme and content to Lost Omens: Character Guide, but does not have a section for factions like the Lost Omens: Character Guide, and instead focuses entirely on ancestries, as its name suggests. As a reminder, one of the biggest changes Pathfinder made in the second edition was to replace “race” with the less-charged “ancestry” to define player characters, so the options covered in this book define that aspect of your character.

I must confess that the one area of Pathfinder in which my knowledge is severely lacking is the Pathfinder Society, both in the in-universe organization and in the eponymous Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign. When I was most actively playing the game, I did so in home games and lived in a small city in a rural state, so there weren’t a lot of options for organized play. To this day, I’ve only played in two sessions of Pathfinder Society play, and they were at back to back days of a convention in 2014. It is, however, something I look forward to engaging in in the near future, so Pathfinder Lost Omens: Pathfinder Society Guide is very useful in giving me the background I need to start playing in those games.

Hello and welcome to Get Your Game On. My name is Zainabb and I’ve been pretty unwell lately, which sucks, but I’ve been kept company by the ghostly bears and trees and critters in Cozy Grove, which does not suck. We’ve got Activision Blizzard news yet again this week but we also have some actual good gaming news (??) in the voluntary recognition of United Paizo Workers! So maybe gaming isn’t always a burning trash fire.
Remember to keep hydrated and be kind to yourself, today and every day. (more…)

With the move away from the shorter paperback releases that formed the bulk of the campaign setting line in Pathfinder’s first edition, the new series of Pathfinder Second Edition campaign setting books are less constrained to a single format, leaving more room for unique and experimental books. The first attempt at this in the Pathfinder Lost Omens line is Lost Omens: Legends. This is a book that could only exist after the setting had been around for some time, and was definitely at the top of my interests when I received it.

Welcome to get your game on! I’m Maddi, here with the good, the bad, and the somewhere in-between gaming news for the last week. But first, hey. How are you doing? Been playing anything new or good lately? Recently I’ve been consumed by the urge to landscape and redecorate my entire Animal Crossing island, Flavortown, with mushroom decor. Let us know what you’ve been up to over on our Twitter, or if you subscribe to our Patreon at the Sega Genesis Tier or higher, you can bring your hottest recommendations to our Discord! Now, speaking of Animal Crossing, here’s this week’s news. (more…)
