REDMOND, WA (June 15, 2016): Paizo Inc., publisher of the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, announces today Pathfinder Module: We B4 Goblins, the fourth installment in Paizo’s popular Free RPG Day adventures. Free RPG Day takes place on June 18, 2016, offering new and exclusive free RPG modules and other gaming products provided by participating publishers, through participating game stores, to encourage and develop the roleplaying game hobby.

We B4 Goblins is a Pathfinder RPG adventure for up to four goblin characters just beginning their careers of mischief and mayhem. The module is sanctioned for use in the Pathfinder Society organized play program with sanctioning rules, pre-generated goblin characters, and special chronicle sheets available on paizo.com. In addition, players who play the module in a participating retail location on Free RPG Day will receive a second boon that will grant their character a commemorative toad for use in future scenarios.

As whelps of the Licktoad tribe just out of their swaddling cages, the goblins Chuffy, Mogmurch, Poog, and Reta must prove themselves by undergoing a series of challenges, from tying a string to a large spider and shouting insults with hot rocks in their mouths, to facing off against a goblin bully and his dimwitted minions. As a final test of their mettle, they must make a dangerous and smelly trek to claim a toad from the nearby swamp and present it to the terrifying presence that lurks within the Cave of Darkfear, only after which they can truly call themselves goblins.

The adventure takes place in Brinestump Marsh and the surrounding areas of Varisia in the Pathfinder campaign setting, and serves and a prequel to We Be Goblins!, We Be Goblins Too!, and We Be Goblins Free!, Paizo's 2011, 2013, and 2015 Free RPG Day adventures.

This special 16-page Pathfinder Module was created for Free RPG Day and will be available for free in hobby game shops worldwide on June 18, 2016. The print edition will be available for sale and a free download will be available on Paizo.com beginning July 1, 2016.

Playbook For Pathfinder Now Available in the iOS App Store
Free Download and One Month Free Trial for New Users
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (June 13, 2016): Trapdoor Technologies announces today the launch of Playbook For Pathfinder, their first officially licensed toolset for the award-winning roleplaying game. Playbook For Pathfinder is now available in the iOS App Store with a free download and one month free trial for new users.

Playbook For Pathfinder allows players to roll-up and manage characters, while Game Masters can purchase and prep adventures and campaigns for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The app features quick rules look-up, information sharing, stat tracking for monsters and PCs, and more.

The app will include the game’s complete rules set, artwork, connection with Pathfinder Society Organized Play events, and an extensive library of Pathfinder adventures. New content releases will be made each Tuesday, with additional adventures and rulebooks being added throughout the year.

At PaizoCon last week, Paizo announced the Starfinder Roleplaying Game—a new science fantasy RPG based on the Pathfinder universe and rules. Trapdoor will be working closely with Paizo to create a sister app for the new RPG system launching in 2017.

“We are really looking forward to the continued integration of the Pathfinder world in Playbook,” said Lisa Stevens, CEO of Paizo. “We believe it has the potential to streamline prep time and become an invaluable tool for both players and Game Masters.”
