Pro-tip people: with the Pathfinder Beginner's Box, if you organize all the pawns and such into little sandwich bags and such, you can fit the pocket-sized Core Rulebook and the pocket-sized Beastiary into the box as well. Basically, you can keep everything you need to play a robust game of Pathfinder 1E in one compact package.
Just the other day I was at our local Books A Million and they had the hardback Pathfinder 1st edition Planar Adventures, that I purchased. It is pretty cool as well!
I passed up Pathfinder for years. The amount of books on the shelves was just overwhelming, and I felt I'd never catch up. Eventually I saw that starter set. I really do like the pawns, over the storage place for minis. Especially for monsters as you are given many of the same. Figures are cool for heroes though. So I picked the box up for Christmas. By the time Christmas came they announced 2nd edition. It hasn't been played yet unfortunately. My main collection is basic or BECMI D&D. I'd call it 98% complete. I did go off on a major tangent awhile back with West End Games Paranoia. I bought the game decades ago, then suddenly went into the mode of acquiring all the West End supplements. And Hey, I've got two complete gm screens for it. One that is playable and one that's definitely not for play. Very cool video. It was fun watching you lay out all them books 😊. P.S. : Yea, I also actually passed on the first two editions of MTG. Go figure.
So cool that the Bestiary 4 includes the Great Old Ones! I still need to pick up the other Bestiary pocket editions at some point. I was going to but I ended up picking up Pathfinder 2E books instead because I was able to the Core Rulebook for only $27 U.S.. Great collection of 1E stuff Dave! I really enjoy videos where you show your collection!
Super excited to see you talking about Pathfinder 1e. You might want to look at the Inner Sea World Guide too. It’s an amazing book - no pocket edition, though AFAIK. Great collection
Great video for some PF love. Thanks to the lock down, we've been able to play more online and crank through Rise of the Runelords. It a great AP, we'll probably try to do the trilogy. We have a 5e game going also, so its nice to have a lighter game and and crunchy option with PFv1. With all the PF1.0 options out there its become our go to for the crunchy game, unfortunately PF 2.0 is gathering dust.
The GameMastery Guide is the only other hardback I kept after some consolidation of my physical collection for a move, besides the CRB. It's a book I'll likely always have in my collection for how helpful it is for ANY RPG. I did not pick up the 2e version as yet as I don't anticipate GMing it, at least yet. But I recommend it based solely on the Archives of Nethys content I've read. A great companion piece to the GMG is Ultimate Campaign. Lots of useful tool kits in there, especially if you are running mass combat sans Kingmaker as it has the updated rules for it.
I recently began to collect these pocket editions as well! The Bestiaries and Ultimate Series are some of my favorites. I'm excited to see more collections of classic Adventure Paths as well! Great value for your money.
Nice collection man, I hope to get first beginner box, master screen and bestiary pawns! Also hope that my friends will play with me. Anyway, Pathfinder rocks!
I absolutely LOVE Rise of the Runelords and plan to start running it again starting in the summer. It's been in my collection for a year and during lockdown gave me a chance to go through and tidy my collection...started reading it and couldn't put it down, it is that good!
It's not a hardcover but some of the spotlight books that focus on a city like Sandpoint or Magnimar. I also like Legacy of Dragons. Any of the adventure paths that deal with the Runelords have been very fun to run as a gm: Rise of the Runelords, Shattered Star, and Return of the Runelords.
Ultimate Campaign is a really good book! I will say, though - the random backstory generator has a tendency to generate some really TRAGIC backstories. I'm only slightly traumatized by some of the random results I got...
Hi Dave. I'm jealous you have the NPC Codex Pawn Box 😊 that's one of the few pawn boxes I'm missing. I have the Bestiary 1 to 6 Pawn Boxes along with the Inner Sea Pawn Box but the NPC Codex Pawn Box has been out of print for a while now! Like you, I made a late-night ordering error when I thought I managed to find and order the NPC Pawn Box but when I received it I realized it was the NPC Codex Hardcover I ordered, a book I already had!!! BTW, the only two hardback Adventure Paths Paizo released were Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne, so it is unlikely we will ever see any more pocket edition releases of 1st Edition Pathfinder AP's.
I don't think it would be too difficult. The Gamemastery Guide has some decent guidelines for creating your own creatures which is a great place to start..
For me 3.5 was about the right balance of story telling and rewarding system mastery... pathfinder being 3.55 I was really impressed with the minor adjustments. I'm not sure where 2e is going.
Until recently I was running the Rise of the Runelords AP with three separate groups. After a couple of years of playing we've reached Chapter 5 (of 6) and it has been fantastic. I converted it to 5th Edition as most of the players from the three groups were new to RPGs or D&D and all of them were enjoying the experience, until COVID-19 came along. A really diverse campaign and a very good one. It introduced my love for Sandpoint, the town where the campaign starts. If you only ever get one Pathfinder 1st Edition Campaign Setting books, I would suggest Sandpoint, Light of the Lost Coast. 96 pages of (post Rise of the Runelords) goodness along with a double sided A2 map! Also, see this bird's eye view of Sandpoint pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/File:Sandpoint_full_spread.jpg
@@DravenSwiftbow If BonadanAlloy doesn't fill all your gaps, let me know. The FLGS had all their 1e Pathfinder stock on ridiculous discounts before the pandemic, and I could take a look for specific stuff you need if/when they get open again.
Pawns and monster tokens and maps are all so system-independent I don't even regard them as belonging to a given edition or game, they're just toolbox stuff to hold on to forever. Heck, I had some of the ugly old counters from Battlesystem out the last time I ran a Savage Worlds game. :)
I'd be happy to. I am planning on running some one shots during the summer. When I release the video announcing the first one shot please comment on it and remind me of this, since my memory is terrible.

I've collected every 2e books, I had the itch to collect 1e now :) I'm slowly growing the collection waiting on books come in the mail..

I love the game mastery guide. It’s one of my favorites out of my entire collection.
As a new DM I just picked up Curse of The Crimson Throne, how hard do you think it would be to convert it into Second Ed. Pathfinder?
I don't think it would be too difficult. The Gamemastery Guide has some decent guidelines for creating your own creatures which is a great place to start..
For me 3.5 was about the right balance of story telling and rewarding system mastery... pathfinder being 3.55 I was really impressed with the minor adjustments. I'm not sure where 2e is going.
I've only ever gotten the 1E core rulebook. As usual, no one was/would play it, so I never got to use it. And, so far, the same is true of 2E. *sigh*

i sold a bunch i should go through and see if i can ship you some that are missing here. they're just sitting on the shelf man.
I really appreciate the offer. If you do have some you are willing to ship out I promise to give them a good home

Do you let Viewers participate in your campaigns?? Would love to play as a PC. Its been awhile, lol.

Could you possibly run me through a game online? Would love to try out playing as a Paladin!
I'd be happy to. I am planning on running some one shots during the summer. When I release the video announcing the first one shot please comment on it and remind me of this, since my memory is terrible.
@@DravenSwiftbow Olk! Can't wait! Where will they be run?
Get the pocket edition! Keep the symmetry! We all understand the problem!
