Paizo and Demiplane have recently announced a partnership that will launch Pathfinder Nexus, a new character and campaign app for Pathfinder.

If you have played an RPG in the last few years, you know how invaluable a digital assistant can be. An app can help you track your character, campaign, monsters, and more. If you’ve played either edition of Pathfinder, you know how much that game blossoms when you have an app to handle everything you need to keep track of.

Because if Pathfinder is anything, it’s sprawling. The system has more than 600 pages of character-focused content alone.

Thankfully, a newly announced partnership between Demiplane and Paizo has revealed a digital toolset coming soon for the fantasy RPG. It’s currently in early access with a digital reader and a few other digital goodies. These tools are ready to try right now, but the full release is expected for 2022.

Per the announcement, the new toolset will feature a compendium, character builder, and interactive digital sheet. But the most surprising tool of all is a full virtual “playspace” that integrates video chat and the other tools. Take a look at the announcement:

From the Crew at Pathfinder Nexus:

Originally released in 2008, Pathfinder is one of the most popular fantasy tabletop roleplaying games in the world, filled with unique characters, rich lore, and exciting monsters, magic, and wonder. Pathfinder Second Edition was released in 2019 with rules that are fast to learn, easy to play, and that offer more customization options than ever before. In Pathfinder, players take on the role of custom-created characters to tell cooperative stories of limitless fantasy adventures and collaborative gameplay amongst friends. Pathfinder Nexus delivers the game’s trove of sourcebooks, character options, and adventures in a convenient and easily accessible way, whether players are new to the game or are long-time veterans.

Pathfinder Nexus aims to make every part of playing game sessions better, starting with sought-after tools like a game compendium, digital reader, character builder, interactive digital character sheet, as well as a playspace with video chat where all the other tools are fully integrated. Demiplane has an extensive roadmap for Pathfinder Nexus, with new features to enhance play planned for years to come.

More features are planned to be added to early access between now and the full 2022 launch.
