In August 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced the pending release of the 4th edition of D&D, which replaced version 3.5. Wizards of the Coast chose not to renew the contract in early 2007 and Paizo began publishing the Pathfinder periodical line as a replacement. Pathfinder is supported by the official Pathfinder periodicals and various third-party content created to be compatible with the game.īeginning in 2002, Paizo took over publishing Dragon and Dungeon magazines, which were about the Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) role-playing game, under contract to the game's publishers Wizards of the Coast. It continues to use the OGL and SRD, but significant revisions to the core rules make the new edition incompatible with content from either Pathfinder 1st Edition or any edition of D&D. The first edition extends and modifies the System Reference Document (SRD) based on the revised 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) published by Wizards of the Coast under the Open Game License (OGL) and is intended to be backward-compatible with that edition.Ī new version of the game, Pathfinder 2nd Edition, was released in August 2019. The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) that was published in 2009 by Paizo Publishing.
