Pathfinder Pocket, the little book that made a big splash is back with two new additions to the shelf!

There are some new pocket editions out for Pathfinder! If you’ve never seen them, the pocket editions are bite-sized (well sort of) books that bring all the latest updates, errata, and edits to print. Easy to carry and up-to-date, these are perfect for people who prefer having an actual book on hand (hey when was the last time your book ran out of battery power), but don’t want to lug around a backpacking rig that’s capable of handling the 200+ pounds of books that your crazy monk/bard/variant fighter needs to be broken enough to one-shot anything CR 18 or lower.

Now out–the Advanced Player’s Guide and the GameMastery Guide. You can also grab a “lite” .pdf version of each, which is made for mobile.

The Pocket Editions are great, but what if while you’re carrying them in your pockets, something happens to the other stuff you carry in your pocket? Maybe there’s some way to protect the things in your pocket…
