The Deeper Dive

To dig a little deeper into Pathfinder NEXUS, let's start with what it means to be an official digital toolset. We work closely with Paizo and the Pathfinder 2nd Edition team to create tools, features, and content that help veteran players enjoy the game even more. Since tools make everything easier, Pathfinder NEXUS also helps introduce new players to the game in fast, fun ways. You’ll find a growing body of Pathfinder Society organized play support, as well as special extras integrated with our handy Character Tools.

Is This a VTT?

Nope, not at all. VTTs are great when you can't get together in person. But we made sure Pathfinder NEXUS works for the way you prefer to play, whether that means having the toolset open alongside your favorite virtual tabletop or at your side when you’re around the game table with your friends. Speaking of in-person play, the design is intentionally mobile friendly, so if you're using your phone you'll get an app-like experience without needing to download anything.

Can I Try It for Free?

While there are well over 150 official online NEXUS edition Pathfinder 2nd Edition rulebooks, Lost Omens setting sourcebooks, and published adventures available for purchase, Pathfinder NEXUS also has free ways to get your feet wet without spending any coin. Free tools and content include: preference-based group finder; game session creator-manager; video, voice, & chat; Game Rules Primer (think "Beginner Box +1"); 7 free character slots; 4 free adventures, and free upgrades to the Remaster edition Player Core and GM Core books. (Did we use those semicolons right? A well-placed semicolon just has a certain panache....)

Are the Books PDFs?

No mere PDFs, NEXUS edition game books give you all the official content and save you time and sanity by incorporating tooltips, pop-outs, and cross-links to make game prep faster than ever. They're also formatted for any device, so you can read it on mobile without endlessly scrolling to get to the top of a column. Because they're online, you can access them anywhere and through any device that has a data connection. When you own one of these official books, you also unlock all of that book’s character options in the Pathfinder NEXUS Character Tools. If you do have your heart set on PDFs (who doesn't like vintage?), you get free PDF versions of books you add to your Pathfinder NEXUS library when you sync with your Paizo Connect account. Bonus: if you already own official PDFs, syncing with your Paizo Connect account will give you a discount on the Pathfinder NEXUS edition.

What about Creating Pathfinder Characters?

Character Tools on Pathfinder NEXUS are live in open beta (if you spot a bug or have a feature request, let us know in our Feedback Forum)! There are two sides to the Character Tools coin: the Character Builder and the Character Sheet. The builder uses guided steps to walks you through the character creation process: Ancestry choices, Background choices, then Class choices. At each step in the process, you can make a quick selection if you know what you want to build, or you can explore all of your options--the speed and depth are up to you. The beauty of the builder is that a brand new player can create a complete, rules-abiding character in a fraction of the time it would take using paper, and experienced players can bring their latest character concept to life in less time than it takes to get a cup of coffee.

After you've created your new character, the character sheet makes bringing them to life during a game incredibly easy. Not only do we handle nearly all of the math for you, but we also provide baked-in "click to know" game rules. Right from your character sheet, you can get all of the rules for your attributes, saves, skills, feats, spells, gear, and more. Plus you can share your character sheet with others. This is really powerful if you’re helping a friend play their first game or helping your GM run a butter-smooth Gatewalkers adventure path. GMs no longer need to ask their players what an obscure Feat or Spell does--they can click on it directly from the character you shared and instantly see the details.

Your First Step into a Larger World

Finally, Pathfinder NEXUS is one of a growing number of official toolsets available on Demiplane. If you ever want a change of pace from your high fantasy, epic heroics in Golarion, you can discover and explore an amazing range of other tabletop roleplaying game genres, with new content arriving every month. Vampires, xenomorphs, elemental martial artists, superhumans, post-apocalyptic mutants and more await!
