Humble Bundle is once again serving up some killer deals in the gaming world, this time with the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Asian Fantasy Bundle. This fantastic offering supports Stop AAPI Hate, an organization combatting discrimination and hatred against Asian and Pacific Islander people in the US.
Let's dive into what this phenomenal bundle brings to the table. Bear in mind, these are PDF copies, so if you're planning to play on Foundry, you'll need to do a bit of legwork to convert the adventure within. Nevertheless, it's a bloody awesome deal — slashing down around $700 (£517) worth of books to just $57 (£44). Here's a sneak peek before we delve into the adventure content:
- The Pathfinder 2e beginner's box, pre-made characters, and GM screen.
- Remastered rulebooks, including the Player Core (in hardcover and PDF), GM Core, and Monster Core.
- Character and lore add-ons, like the Tia Xia character and world guides, as well as the Dark Archive.
- Three Pathfinder 2e Bestiaries and supplementary monster books, such as Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth.
- A handful of smaller-scale campaigns that'll see your players level up 3-4 times a pop.
- Assorted flip-mats and miscellaneous goodies.
The main attraction here is the Fists of the Ruby Phoenix adventure path, a campaign taking you from level 11 to 18. The basic idea is that you and your mates have been invited to Tian Xia by the sorcerer Hao Jin to compete in a fighting tournament. First, though, you must qualify by surviving Danger Island. Sounds intense, right?
It seems like it leans into its fighting game inspirations (the second part of the adventure is literally called "Ready? Fight!") and may very well be a riot. Sadly, this is one of the adventure paths that didn't receive Paizo's excellent integration with Foundry VTT, although there are some fan-made modules that may help lighten the load.
For those playing in-person, this bundle is a no-brainer. If you don't want to start at level 11, the included scenarios are enough to get you there, and they all seamlessly transition into one another, providing a ready-made level 1-18 campaign with two engaging halves to keep your players entertained.
As is usual with Humble Bundles, you can also pay less. For $5, you can still snag the beginner box, a Player's Guide for the Fists of the Ruby Phoenix adventure (ideal for homebrewing), and a levels 1-4 scenario, Lost on the Spirit Road.
I've been blown away by Pathfinder 2e as a newbie DM, and like many of its recent Humble Bundles, this one is a fantastic bargain. The Asian Fantasy Bundle will be available for 20 days, ending May 22, so grab your table and get ready!
